Table tennis ball dispenser

A dispenser for table tennis balls, said dispenser comprising:

• an elongated body portion having a first surface, a lower end and two opposing sides;
• elongated flange portions each having lower flange ends and flange edges, one of said flange portions projecting from each of said opposing sides of said body portion and curving generally toward each other to a first predetermined distance between said flange edges;
• and
• a restraining tab projecting from said lower end of said body portion and extending generally toward said lower flange ends;
• wherein said first surface of said elongated body and said flange portions define a cavity for loosely receiving a plurality of spheres therein, and
• wherein said lower flange ends and said restraining tab are resiliently flexible and form a restricting exit port for normally retaining said plurality of spheres within said dispenser, and wherein gravity forces said plurality of spheres downwardly into a withdrawing position at said exit port;
• and further wherein a sphere may be withdrawn from said exit port by forcing said sphere against said exit port sufficiently to flex said restraining tab and said lower flange ends until a sphere may exit through said exit port.
