ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dispensing rectangular tickets including a container having a vertically extending opening therein with a rectangular horizontal cross section adapted to loosely receive a stack of tickets. The container has a top and a ticket passage slot adjacent the top. The slot leads from the opening in the container to the outside of the container. An elevator is mounted for vertical movement in the container and is adapted to support the stack of tickets. A control device operates the elevator to position the uppermost ticket thereon slightly below the top. The container has air jet orifices therein, a first of which is located in the container sidewall on the opposite side of the container from the slot. A second of the orifices is located in the container top on the opposite side of the container from the slot and a third of the orifices is located in the container top above the slot. A pneumatic device provides a blast of air under pressure through each of the orifices to move a ticket from the top of the stack of tickets out of the container through the slot. The apparatus also includes two sets of rollers and a ticket guide plate between the rollers. When the tickets exit the slot, they move through the rollers where they are sensed photoelectrically. If the tickets are stuck together as they move through the rollers, they are dumped into a double ticket stacking container. If only a single ticket moves through the rollers, it is dumped into a ticket delivery chute.
