Abstract
This invention discloses a retail bulk product dispenser for solid, compact food products having rough, texturized or sticky surfaces such as bite-sized chocolates having a spring loaded, hand operable gate and a pressure relieving baffle which prevents bin arching. An opening is provided in the gate in a manner to prevent the formation of ledges which might impede the flow of products.
