Abstract
A machine particularly adapted for dispensing light items () packaged in symmetrical, frustum-shaped containers. The items are propelled through a tubular cartridge () by compressed air, and in the absence of any solid pushing, pulling or carrying device, then individually dispensed. A flow of compressed air generated by a blower () is s fed to the back of the cartridge. The items are dispensed under control of a toggling dual-gate mechanism () at the front end of the cartridge. The dual-gate mechanism of a removable magazine () grouping a number of cartridges can be selectively addressed and activated by means of a solenoid-driven cross-bar assembly ().
