Abstract:
An optical disc dispenser includes a base and a top cover with an opening for a stack of optical discs. The diameter of the opening is larger than the diameter of a disc so the discs can pass through the opening freely. The disc dispenser also includes two or more support gate elements, which in idle state, support the disc stack. These support gate elements, which form a support gate, can move. As a result of such movement of the support gate elements, their collective surface can create an opening larger or smaller than the size of a handled disc. The disc dispenser also includes synchronized separator fingers and a recess which is located on a height of the second disc from the bottom of the stack.
