Abstract
A dispenser for comestibles having a container which is supported by a casing. The casing has a frame there which, in turn, supports an axially movable ratchet mechanism. The ratchet is moved by an actuator which is operatively interconnected with a handle each manipulation of which will advance the ratchet by one tooth pitch towards the container. The container has a piston head formed on its bottom wall and engaged by the ratchet end. The advance of the ratchet, will cause the bottom of the container to move into the container so as to displace an equal volume comestible and force the displayed quantity of comestible out of a container dispensing orifice.
