Abstract: Container-dispenser (10) for coins (20) comprising housing seatings (19) able to accommodate coins (20) of a defined value, the base (11) being associated with expulsion means (26) able to be selectively positioned in correspondence with one of the housing seatings (19) at a time to push and expel a relative coin (20). The housing seatings (19) are defined by dividing walls (15) including elastic appendixes (16) cooperating with the perimeter of the coins (20), to hold them in the housing seatings (19), which temporarily deform when the coins (20) are pushed by the expulsion means (26), to allow them to exit from the relative housing seating (19).
Abstract: A bingo chip dispenser is set forth utilizing an elongate cylinder including a pivotally mounted lid with a lowermost hood oriented relative to an opening within the cylinder. A plunger is diametrically aligned with and opposed to the opening within the hood and further includes a thumb loop secured to the hood and a forward wall of the cylinder with an index and middle finger loop positioned diametrically opposed to the thumb loop with the thumb loop aligned with the middle finger loop to provide a coacting force applied to the plunger, wherein the middle finger loop is directed rearwardly of the index finger loop and beyond a floor of the cylinder.
