ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Various devices have been advised to dispense quantities of bulk items, such as candy in retail environments. Perhaps the simplest is a scoop of a predetermined size, with which a customer can scoop the bulk items out of a barrel.
However, modern considerations of sanitation and tamper-resistance dictate that such foods be secure from handling by the customer except as to the amounts being dispensed at the time.
OBJECTS
It is an object of this invention to provide convenient dispensing of bulk food; dispensing that avoids customer hand contact with any of the food. Another object of such a dispenser is that is dispense a pre-measured quantity in a fairly accurate amount.
Another object of the invention is that a customer be able to use one hand to place a bag in a receiving relationship to the dispenser, and with that same hand actuate the dispensing of the bulk item into said bag, without hand contact with the item. The present invention achieves all of these objects in a secure and reliable and asthetically pleasing dispenser.
