ABSTRACT:
A method for dispensing boxed goods by horizontally ejecting the bottommost box from a vertical stack of boxes. A pusher is engaged with the vertical wall of the bottommost box at about its vertical center and is used to push the bottommost box horizontally outward. When the bottommost box has been pushed part way only, a smooth support is placed behind the pusher and at an elevation below the top of the bottommost box.
When the bottommost box is fully ejected, the support breaks the fall of the next-to-bottom box and supports the entire stack of boxes at an intermediate elevation. Then when the pusher is fully withdrawn, the next-to-bottom box assumes the position formerly occupied by the bottommost box.
In a preferred form, the support means includes a roller attached to the rearward side of the pusher and which rollingly supports the next-to-bottom box as it is being withdrawn.
