ABSTRACT:
A mechanical dispensing device, suitable for dispensing miniature elements, comprises a cyclically driven finger element having a cam follower member which rides over a cam surface to produce a generally rectangular motion path for the finger during each cycle of dispensing operation. The finger is positioned across a feed flow line in which a series of individual elements to be dispensed are stacked from a spring biased latch member which serves as a stopping point for the leading element in the feed line. During dispensing operation, the finger engages a suitable notch space occurring in the stacked elements and draws the leading element through the latch point. The finger then withdraws from engagement with the element, enabling the element to freely drop by gravity through a suitable guide tube into an associated receptacle to be filled. The finger is then returned to an initial position for the dispensing process to repeat.
