Abstract
A dispensing unit for elongated articles is disclosed including a pair of dispensing members which are operated by hand to dispense articles from a storage bin through a dispensing port. The dispensing members are structured so as to cooperate with the interior walls of the storage bin, and also with a sorting tab mounted on the interior thereof, to ensure that the articles waiting to be dispensed from within the unit are properly aligned in the storage bin adjacent the dispensing port so that jamming of the objects inside of the storage bin is prevented.
