Abstract
A golf ball dispensing device for use in storing and dispensing of golf balls is constructed of a tube which has an upper portion and a base at the bottom. A stack of golfs balls are maintained in the tube under spring bias between a piston which urges the balls upwardly and a ball trap member which retains the top golf ball from dispensing through a nozzle. A cap is attached to the upper portion of the tube and houses a ball ejector assembly which is pivotally connected to the ball trap member below. To disperse a golf ball, a push button is depressed activating the ball ejector assembly which pivots the ball trap member to release the top golf. Simultaneously as the ball trap member releases the top golf ball, a lever pivotally connected to the ball trap member, urges the top golf ball through the nozzle. Upon release of the push button, the spring biased piston urges the next golf ball upwardly into the ball trap member.
