Abstract

An apparatus for dispensing uniformly sized packages is disclosed. The apparatus includes a storage portion having consecutive slots for storing uniformly sized packages vertically within each slot. The packages fall from the slots into a dispensing portion and they come to rest on a bottom support wall. A puller assembly slides along this bottom support wall to move the lowermost packages to the front of the apparatus where they may be selected individually by a user of the apparatus.
