Card dispenser

Abstract

A card housing section has at a front surface a cut portion provided with an opening and closing portion and at a lower end an opening provided with a receiving rib, and a card is held between the receiving rib and a push-plate mounted on an upper plate of a housing box through a coil spring. A second supporting rod slidably and rotatably connected to a first supporting rod stood upright on the push-plate is held in the horizontal state on the housing box by the action of the coil spring, and cards may be supplied through the cut portion in the front of the housing box into a space formed between the push-plate and the receiving rib while the housing section is being assembled into a dispenser body. In addition, a card dispensing section comprises a guide hole extending in a direction of dispensing cards and having sliding grooves provided on opposite sides thereof and inlet and outlets which are downwardly opened into one place forward and backward, and a sliding rod reciprocably fitted in the guide hole. In dispensing cards, the sliding rod is brought into engagement with the sliding groove to be reciprocated in the horizontal state, and a card is pushed out by means of a push-out piece provided on the sliding rod, after which the end of the sliding rod is lowered through the forward inlet and outlet and is returned while maintaining the downwardly inclined state.
