ABSTRACT:
The apparatus comprises a platform for supporting a substantially vertical stack of articles, such as newspapers, magazines and the like, with the articles inclined downwardly and forwardly. Article hold-back apparatus, positioned alongside the platform, extends upwardly therefrom and is adapted to engage and extend across forward edges of the articles in the stack to restrain the same from forward sliding movement from the stack, and a carriage mounted for substantially vertical movement alongside the forward edges of the articles in the stack, is operatively connected to the article hold-back apparatus to successively effect disengagement of the article hold-back apparatus with the uppermost article in the stack. Stack height sensing apparatus is carried by the carriage and includes a presser member adapted to engage and rest upon successive uppermost articles in the stack while serving for in turn restraining the carriage against downward movement, and article discharge apparatus is carried by the carriage for engaging the uppermost article in the stack and for slidingly moving the uppermost article rearwardly out of engagement with the presser member so as to permit the presser member to drop downwardly onto the next article to be dispensed and thereby effect a corresponding lowering of the carriage to gravitationally dispense the uppermost article from the stack.
