Abstract
A popcorn maker has a flap 17 which closes off a passageway 13 to prevent corn, especially unpopped corn, reaching a discharge outlet 14. The flap is balanced in its closed position and is pushed open by any build up of popped corn to allow the corn to be discharged. The flap will then remain open until closed manually.
