  • Patent number: 5054649
    Abstract: The dispenser comprises a body forming a magazine for objects to be dispensed and terminated by a tubular neck defining a dispensing chamber suitable for receiving a determined number of objects to be dispensed on a first occasion, the number being equal to or greater than one, and a tubular head capable of sliding over the outside of the neck. When the head is pushed onto the neck by pressing the free end of the head down onto a reception surface, the free end of the neck resiliently deforms a shutter diaphragm so as to allow the objects to be dispensed to fall out onto the reception surface, while resilient tongues cut out in the wall of the neck serve to retain the next object. After pressure has been released, the resilience of the diaphragm gives rise to a reverse movement with the tongues releasing the objects to be dispensed during the following movement while the diaphragm closes in order to hold the objects in the dispensing chamber.
