ABSTRACT:
There is shown a dispenser for dated products including an elongated magazine with an access opening at the bottom and two compartments for holding containers so they will be one-by-one fed by gravity to the access opening. A gate in the form of a block or the like blocks one or the other of the compartments from the access opening and the gate is blocked from moving from one position to the other by the presence of containers in one side of the access opening. When the compartment on one side is empty the gate is movable to access to the other compartment. The containers are a snug fit in the magazine compartments so they are not readily removed from the top of the dispenser; in addition the dispenser may be provided with a top cover to discourage access from the top of the dispenser. The dispenser may be arranged in a vertical position or, in another embodiment, generally horizontal with a slight slope so that round containers will feed by gravity to the access opening.
