ABSTRACT:
An improved straw dispenser dispenses a plurality of straws simultaneously into the open tops of a corresponding number of beverage containers in a container making machine. The dispenser has a plurality of dispensing stations, each containing a rotary index wheel which picks up a succession of straws from a hopper and delivers them one after another into a separate chute which guides the straws into a separate delivery tube positioned directly above a beverage container. The index wheels at all of the stations index in response to a signal from the container making machine in synchronism to drop a set of straws into those tubes. Gates at the lower ends of the tubes open simultaneously and drop the set of straws then in the tubes into containers positioned below them before the new set of straws reaches the tubes.
