ABSTRACT:
A clip dispensing device has a dispenser body and a magazine inside the body for storage of a stack of clips. The magazine includes an outlet end adjacent a front end of the body, a biased platform for bearing on the last clip in the stack of clips and urging the first clip in the stack of clips against the outlet end of the magazine and an outlet groove at the outlet end of the magazine for dispensing clips from the magazine. A presser is movably attached to the body for reciprocating movement in a clip ejection direction and a withdrawal direction. A pusher is connected to the presser for reciprocating movement with the presser. The pusher reciprocates within a pusher groove communicating with the magazine through a pusher slot located in the body. A tongue having a size smaller than the pusher slot is pivotally attached to the pusher at a first end of the tongue. A second end of the tongue engages the first clip. When the presser is moved in the clip ejection direction, the pusher moves within the pusher groove toward the magazine and the second end of the tongue pivots through the pusher slot to engage the first clip in the stack of clips and push the first clip through the outlet groove. The tongue retracts through the pusher slot into the pusher groove when the pusher and presser move in the withdrawal direction. With this construction, the biasing force of the clips does not bear against the torque or pusher, so that the presser easily retracts in the withdrawal direction.
