ABSTRACT:
A drinking-water service system for supplying individual cylindrical containers of drinking water to athletes. A storage and dispensing unit for storing the containers for semi-automatically sequentially dispensing individually the drinking water containers to athletes. A multi-stage storage and delivery control passageway has a rolling section generally inclined downwardly for receiving and storing the containers disposed side by side and gravity biased. An uprighting section receives the containers from the rolling section successively and its surfaces cause the containers to assume an upright position for travel downwardly to a dispensing section which has a dispensing outlet opening through which the containers are dispensed to a horizontal stand surface. Flexible retainers at the opening effectively retain an upper part of the individual cans dispensed so that the next successive container is retained in the dispensing section and the containers can be manually grasped below the retainers and removed from the stand surface. When a container is removed a next successive container is dispensed from the dispensing section through the opening on to the stand surface under the control of gravity.
