ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for individually dispensing a plurality of styli, juxtaposed in a row lying along a first path within a guide slot having a dispensing section thereof terminating at a reference surface of a housing, has an arm shaped to slide within the guide slot whereby the lead stylus in the row is held against the reference surface. The apparatus comprises a curved spring plate and piston disposed adjacent the guide slot for moving the reference surface along the first path toward the arm in a manner whereby the arm, along with the row of styli, is pushed backward a predetermined distance along the first path to a holdback position, and a second piston disposed adjacent the housing for holding the arm stationary at the holdback position while a dispensing member removes the lead stylus from the row of styli.
