ABSTRACT:
In this tubular cup dispenser, resilient cup-engaging fingers are secured to the inner wall of a tubular housing and extend both forwardly toward a front opening and radially inwardly. At the foremost end of each finger is a radially outwardly extending leg. Each leg has a forwardly extending foot which is guided by a radially extending slot in a ring attached to the tubular housing and surrounding the front opening. The inner face of the ring and the legs have interengaging teeth which, when engaged, prevent radial movement of the cup-engaging fingers. Disengagement of the teeth and adjustment of the fingers is accomplished by manipulation of the forwardly extending feet.
