Abstract: A dispenser for bulk comestibles comprises a bin, a trough disposed beneath the bin, and an auger rotatable on the trough. The bin has a floor sloping downwardly and backwardly and defining an aperture in a back portion of the bin. The auger is disposed to underlie the aperture. The auger is made from a metal rod coiled to provide a vane. The auger has a relatively wide pitch except for a front portion having a relatively narrow pitch. A door mounted pivotably on the trough is pivotable between a position wherein the door closes an outlet for the trough and a position wherein the door is disposed away from the outlet. A spring biases the door to the outlet-closing position.
