  • FIG. 1 One embodiment of the present invention, particularly useful for dispensing of sweets, is shown in figures 1 to 4.
  • This device is constructed of transparent material such as perspex or the like which allows the contents i.e. multi-coloured sweets to be displayed in the containers.
  • the dispensing apparatus 1 comprises a hopper section 2 into which articles to be dispensed can be inserted through an opening which is closed by a suitable lid 3 which can be locked into position by any suitable means.
  • a weir wall 4 separates the hopper from the dispensing compartment 5 except for the area 6 where the weir wall 4 stops short of the base 7 of the container, to allow material in the hopper 2 to flow into the dispensing compartment 5, so as to fill said dispensing compartment 5 to a level as determined by

Therefore the products are dispensed remote from the dispenser satisfying the requirements of the Department of Health, that there can be no contamination of materials which have not been dispensed.
  • the ladle handle can be provided with appropriate stops, to allow for limited longitudinal movement.
  • connection of the ladle handle to the container can be of any suitable means such as an elastomeric sleeve, or instead of the ladle or grabbers, an elastomeric glove could be used whereby the user inserts his or her hand into the glove and scoops the articles into the discharge chute.
  • the users can readily see the material on display, especially if the product is multi-coloured sweets and can choose and dispense his own products in a self-serve manner without any risk of back contamination of the products not dispensed.
