ABSTRACT:
A dispenser 2 for dispensing disposable cigarette lighters 3. Dispenser 2 includes a housing 4 which receives a cartridge 30 for holding the lighters 3 in a vertical column. Cartridge 30 includes a discharge opening 42 normally closed by a spring biased gate 66. A pusher 90 has a horizontal surface 92 which is interposed between the lowermost lighter 3' and the remaining lighters 3 in the cartridge 30. This horizontal surface 92 both elevates the column to remove the weight of the column from the lowermost lighter 3' and uses the front edge 96 thereof to open the gate 66 before the lowermost lighter 3' is dispensed. A plurality of cartridges 30 for different types of lighters and a plurality of different types of pushers 90 may be interchangeably used in dispenser 2.
