ABSTRACT:
A dispenser for pens and pencils as well as other elongated objects includes a housing in which the pens or pencils are placed. The housing has a discharge slot and contains a movable ramp which is inclined downwardly toward the discharge slot. Normally the ramp assumes an upper or hold position in which it blocks the discharge slot and prevents pens from rolling out of the housing. However, when the ramp is depressed by applying a force to an actuating tab that projects outwardly from it, the discharge slot is opened and a pen will roll out of the housing and onto retaining lips which form an outward continuation of the ramp. The housing further contains posts which are located immediately below the ramp when the ramp is in its upper position. However, when the ramp is depressed to its release position, the posts project upwardly through the ramp and prevent a succession of pens from rolling out of the discharge opening and onto the retaining lip. The posts further serve to agitate the pens approaching the discharge slot so as to prevent jams from developing at the discharge opening.
