Estimating the term…
A product dispenser which includes a main housing and a second housing. The main housing contains a pivot arm that closes an electrical switch via a tension spring for producing a desired sound. The pivot arm is operated by a push button which functions to raise a scissor jack which in turn raises a conveyor tube in which a product has been loaded from a product reservoir. The conveyor tube is provided with a slide door that prevents discharge of a product from the reservoir. The conveyor tube also includes a push rod that contacts a pivotable character when the conveyor tube is raised. The push rod pushes the character over so it appears that the character is pouring a product from a container. At the same time the product moves from the conveyor tube to an exit tube. Then the movements are reversed to a rest position from which they started.
A product dispenser which comprises a main housing, and a secondary housing secured onto said main housing, a separate product holder, means for dispensing a product from the separate product holder onto a conveyor tube, a product exit tube, means for raising said conveyor tube to a level with the product exit tube, control means for activating movement of the conveyor tube for dispensing the product, ad means for preventing a flow of the product from the separate product reservoir as the conveyor tube is raised, and a character in combination with a container for an imitation product, and a push rod secured to said conveyor tube which activates movement of the character.
A product dispenser as set forth in claiming 5, which includes an electrical sound circuit, a switch for activating the sound circuit, and said push rod activates the switch for activating the sound circuit.
