ABSTRACT:
A personal computer peripheral, battery powered reward candy dispenser which immediately presents students with a single candy for each problem completed correctly while using educational application software. The reward candy dispenser compromises: a transparent plastic upper supply compartment with a transparent plastic threaded cap and a transparent plastic lower component compartment base stand; a suction-cup, monitor screen attachable photo-sensor device for detecting a designated personal computer generated light intensity actuation signal; a central controller for receiving, confirming, and converting the actuation signal into a dispense motor activation command; a motor and a transparent plastic gear device for rotating a gravity-fed, multiple-chambered, transparent plastic dispense drum under a transparent plastic chute ceiling and above a transparent plastic chute for controlled dispense; integral dispense drum agitator rods for agitating stored candies and preventing the formation of bridging cavities; a pivoting, drop contact displacement device for detecting the dispense of a single candy and signaling central controller to terminate power to the motor; and a transparent plastic dispense port for the reception of the reward candies.
