ABSTRACT:
In a dispensing machine, a magazine is provided in which a multiplicity of packets to be dispensed are maintained in a magazine supported by clips which support the packets on a helical screw. The packets are dispensed individually by energizing a motor to turn the screw, during which the endmost packet drops into a receiving tray. The drop of the packet is detected by a photosensitive detector, and the screw driving motor is deenergized. The magazine contains a channel for maintaining the packets in single-file relationship as they are advanced toward the end of the screw in response to rotation of the screw. The tray into which the packets are dropped is slidable between an inner position, in which it is disposed below the dispensing magazine, and an outer position in which the contents of the tray are accessible to an operator. The tray is forced toward an outer position, and a motorized drive is provided for moving the tray backwardly and forwardly when the tray is in a rearward position.
