ABSTRACT:
A rack for dispensing articles includes a compartment divided into longitudinal channels, each channel including a pusher for urging articles towards the front of the compartment. Each pusher rides along a longitudinal slot in the bottom wall of the compartment and has an upper pusher body within the compartment and a lower foot portion below the bottom wall. A biasing spring tips each pusher so that the foot portion makes contact with the bottom wall substantially along a line at the rear edge of the foot portion to prevent jamming or cocking of the pusher during motion along the slot. In order to easily fill the rack, the compartment is mounted on a base and is slidable forwardly of its normal position while at the same time all the pushers are held fixed relative to the base, thereby providing openings at the front of the channels to insert articles. A two step lock holds the compartment at its normal position on the base, but when the lock is manually actuated, the compartment becomes disengageable from the base and may thereafter be manually disengaged from the base.
