ABSTRACT:
A tube and plunger assembly for dispensing disc shaped game chips to a game board. The tube is elongate and cylindrical in nature and has opposing ends, with one end for loading the chips into the tube and the other end for dispensing the chips individually to a game board. The end that receives the game chips has a funnel to aid in loading and aligning the chips along the longitudinal central axis inside of the tube. The other opposing end of the tube has a resilient chip interference on the inside diameter and close to the end of the tube, and the tube terminates in a game board abutment surface. A slot is formed having a first portion extending axially along the longitudinal center line of the tube and intermediate the opposing ends and a second slot portion extending radially outwardly from the center line of the tube, with the second portion located on the receiving end of the tube. A movable plunger is mounted in the slot and has means extending beyond the perimeter of the cylindrical tube for reciprocally moving the plunger along the length of the slot. The plunger has two positions, one position in the first portion of the slot along the axial center line of the tube so that it can contact one end of the stack of chips in the cylindrical tube, and a second position in the second portion of the slot where it is out of the way of the axial center line of the tube so that chips may be loaded in the tube.
