摘要： An beverage vending apparatus for dispensing elongated articles such as straws, comprising: a container for holding the elongated articles; a hopper (130) operationally coupled to said container to receive at least a portion of the elongated articles, wherein said hopper is reversibly movable between a closed state and an open state; whereby the hopper is composed from an elastic material, whereby the hopper pivots about a first axis, a manipulator (180) for performing a cycle to release a single one of said elongated articles, whereby the manipulator pivots about a second axis, the apparatus is configured to move said manipulator cyclically through a sequence of states including: an idle state, wherein said manipulator is positioned above a single layer of elongated articles resting on an inner surface of said elastic hopper; an isolating state, wherein an isolating blade of said manipulator comes to rest on said inner surface of said elastic hopper between a first elongated article and a second elongated article, thereby isolating said first elongated article; and a dispensing state, wherein the force exerted by said manipulator (180) biases said elastic hopper from said closed state to said open state, whereby a gravity force causes said isolated single elongated article to be dispensed from the apparatus, and the elastic hopper elastically returning to said closed state when said force is no longer exerted. The manipulator further comprises a crank assembly.

摘要： An apparatus for dispensing elongated articles such as straws, including: a container for holding the elongated articles; a hopper to receive some of the elongated articles, where the hopper is reversibly movable between a closed state and an open state; and a manipulator for performing a cycle to release a single elongated article by isolating a single article and then moving the hopper from the closed state to the open state, thereby releasing only the single elongated article.
