A confectionary item dispenser include a dispenser housing having a dispenser housing opening, a reservoir within the dispenser housing having a reservoir chute aligned with the dispenser housing opening, and a dispenser shield disposed within the dispenser housing and movable so that a dispenser shield opening can align with the dispenser housing opening and the reservoir chute at a dispensing position to dispense a confectionary item. An indeterminate outcome actuation mechanism with an actuation mechanism input device causes the dispenser shield to move between the dispensing position and a non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced such that the dispenser shield may be disposed in one of the dispensing position and the non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced so that a confectionary item may or may not be dispensed each time.

A candy dispenser include a dispenser housing having a dispenser housing opening, a candy reservoir within the dispenser housing having a candy reservoir chute aligned with the dispenser housing opening, and a dispenser shield disposed within the dispenser housing and movable so that a dispenser shield opening can align with the dispenser housing opening and the candy reservoir chute at a dispensing position to dispense a candy piece. An indeterminate outcome actuation mechanism with an actuation mechanism input device causes the dispenser shield to move between the dispensing position and at least one non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced such that the dispenser shield may be disposed in any one of the dispensing position and the non-dispensing positions when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced so that a candy piece may or may not be dispensed each time.

A dispenser assembly (2) for solid units (4) includes an outer sleeve (10) having an end (12) and a first sidewall (14) extending from the end of the outer sleeve, the first sidewall having a window (19) proximate to the end of the outer sleeve; and an inner) housing (50) inserted into the outer sleeve, the inner housing including an end (54) with an opening therein leading to a compartment configured for storing the solid units. The dispenser assembly (2) is configured to rotate between a CLOSED position corresponding to the window being blocked by a portion of the inner housing, and an OPEN position corresponding to the window not being blocked by the inner housing in order to allow at least one of the solid units to be dispensed through the window.

A pavement marker dispenser for a pavement marking system dispenses retroreflective markers for a roadway with more accurate marker spacing. The dispenser includes an elongated feed tube that houses a generally vertical curvilinear stack of pavement markers. The feed tube has top and bottom openings to respectively receive and dispense the markers in a downwardly vertical direction. The feed tube has a nonlinear curvature along its length to produce the curvilinear stack of markers so that a downwardly vertical stacking force imposed on a bottommost marker to be dispensed is reduced. The feed tube has first and second curved portions so that the nonlinear curvature is generally serpentine in shape. A disc actuator having a pushing arm extends perpendicular to the feed tube to push the bottommost marker in a rearward and downward direction into the delivery chute, which dispenses the markers.

Magazines that include a supporting member such as a strap, rod or chamber and one or preferably a plurality of portable medicament cases that each include a medicament provided in a package. Each case has first and second housing members that are configured to form a medicament package receiving cavity when joined together. The housing members mate together in a sealed configuration that prevents moisture or contaminants from entering into the cavity. The magazines are configured for containing a plurality of medicament cases for administration of medicaments to a group of people. Also included is a method of administering medications to mass casualties of multiple persons that are in need thereof. The medicaments are rapidly disintegratable and can include a dye that stains the person's mouth so that medical personnel can determine who has been treated with the medicament.

A system for operating a tamper proof storage container for pills, where the storage container has a shutter mechanism that is locked by the combination of a biometric fingerprint lock and digital combination lock. The shutter is opened only upon signal from a personal or remote computer, which allows operation of the fingerprint biometric lock and the digital combination lock. The shutter will dispense only the number of pills prescribed.

A candy dispenser include a dispenser housing having a dispenser housing opening, a candy reservoir within the dispenser housing having a candy reservoir chute aligned with the dispenser housing opening, and a dispenser shield disposed within the dispenser housing and movable so that a dispenser shield opening can align with the dispenser housing opening and the candy reservoir chute at a dispensing position to dispense a candy piece. An indeterminate outcome actuation mechanism with an actuation mechanism input device causes the dispenser shield to move between the dispensing position and at least one non-dispensing position when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced such that the dispenser shield may be disposed in any one of the dispensing position and the non-dispensing positions when the actuation mechanism input device is displaced so that a candy piece may or may not be dispensed each time.

An illuminated candy dispenser assembly includes a candy dispenser that has a plurality of compartments each integrated into the candy dispenser to contain candy. A cup holder is coupled to the candy dispenser to contain a plurality of cups that is each removable from the cup holder for holding the candy that is dispensed from the candy dispenser. A pole is coupled to and extends downwardly from the candy dispenser and the pole is comprised of a translucent material to pass light through the pole. A base engages the pole and the base rests on a support surface. A plurality of light emitters is provided and each of the light emitters is positioned within the pole to emit light outwardly through the pole when the light emitters are turned on.

A portable tablet dispensing device is provided for dispensing tablets to an athlete. The dispensing device includes: an elongate magazine body, a tablet follower positioned within the magazine body, the tablet follower being slidable along a vertical length of the magazine body and a spring positioned between the tablet follower and lower end of the magazine body, the spring configured to urge the tablet follower towards the upper end of the magazine body; a dispensing head slidably mounted to the top elongate body and having a tablet pickup shaped to contact a tablet within the cavity of the dispensing head and urge the tablet towards a front of the tablet dispensing device when the tablet pickup moves from the first position to the second extended position.
