    Abstract: A portable storing and dispensing device for chips, coins, or other disk-like members and embodying an elongated rigid chip-containing magazine which is adapted to store active and reserve chips in stacked relationship and has an open lower end through which the chips are successively dispensed. A flexible expansible gate mechanism restrains the active chips within the magazine and a plunger which is completely encased within the magazine is effective upon depression thereof to effect unit-chip displacement past said gate mechanism at a selected location on a playing board or the like. In a modified form of the device, the magazine contains only active chips and the plunger is telescopically received within the magazine so that its upper portion projects above the upper rim of the magazine for direct manipulation by the user of the device.
