Toy and pogo dispenser

A dispenser, comprising:

• a rotatable hopper, having an axis of rotation and an inner surface, the rotatable hopper defining a hopper cavity;
• a pinion gear, having an axis of rotation, the pinion gear attached to the rotatable hopper, such that the axis of rotation of the hopper is coincident with that of the pinion gear;
• a tubular structure, comprising one of a tube or a plurality of interconnected tubes, the tubular structure having a storage portion for storing objects above the rotating hopper, and a hopper positioning portion, the tubular structure positioned around the rotatable hopper, such that the rotatable hopper can rotate around the hopper axis of rotation within the hopper positioning portion of the tubular structure;
• a tubular base plunger, inserted into the base portion of the tubular structure;
• and
• a rack attached to the base plunger, and functionally mated to the pinion gear, thereby forming a rack and pinion configured to rotate the rotatable hopper.

A dispenser, comprising:

• a rotatable hopper, having an axis of rotation and an outer surface, the rotatable hopper defining a hopper cavity;
• a tubular structure, comprising an upper tube, having a storage portion for storing objects above the rotatable hopper and a hopper positioning portion, a tubular rotatable hopper securing piece attached to the hopper positioning portion of the upper dispenser positioning portion, and a lower tube, defining a base opening for dispensing objects and an upper opening into which the rotatable hopper, the hopper positioning portion of the upper tube, and the hopper securing piece are inserted to form the tubular structure, wherein the rotatable hopper is positioned between the hopper positioning portion of the upper tube and the hopper securing piece, such that the rotatable hopper can rotate around the hopper axis of rotation between the hopper positioning portion of the tube and the hopper securing piece;
• a tubular base plunger, inserted into the lower tube;
• and
• a hopper rotation mechanism connecting the base plunger to the rotatable hopper, wherein the hopper rotation mechanism is configured to rotate the rotatable hopper when the base plunger is moved within the base portion of the tube.
