Abstract: A ticket releasing apparatus comprising two spaced lateral boards, an upper and a lower guiding plates inclinedly disposed between the lateral boards, a roller and a driving pulley respectively disposed at recessed front ends of the guiding plates and frictionally engaged with each other, and a motor disposed under the driving pulley. The tickets are fed through a space between the guiding plates toward the roller and driving pulley. The motor drives a gear set to drive two driven gears and a brake ratchet which via a transmission sleeve makes the driving pulley rotate and frictionally drive the roller to rotate in a reverse direction so as to send out the ticket between the two guiding plates. By means of the engagement between the brake ratchet and the driven ratchet, a linkage connected with the driven ratchet is able to make a stopper plate disposed above the roller prevent the roller from rotating and thus prevent the ticket from being pulled outside by an unauthorized person.
