  • Publication number: 20120228324
    Abstract: A candy container and dispenser device. A multi-compartment dispensing device offers a unique device for storing and dispensing candy. Accordingly, multiple types and/or colors of candy may be contained in a transparent housing to create a very colorful presentation. Any number of candy types, including powdered, beads, pellets and the like, may be stored and dispensed with the multi-compartment device. The compartments each include rotatable floors controlled by actuators. When the floors are rotated in a sloping manner, contained candies fall into a common chamber positioned beneath the compartments. A dispensing aperture in the chamber allows the candies to exit the container. One version comprises a flute-shaped device having a controller linked to one or more actuators and configured to trigger audible tones via an audio device and/or one or more LEDs.
