Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing same-size discrete articles (P) comprises a holder (34, 36, 44) for holding a plurality of such articles in a stack, the holder having a top, a bottom (44, 46), and an exit opening (60) at the bottom, through which the lowermost article in the stack can leave the holder in a transverse direction. It further comprises means (38, 40, 16, 18) defining a pathway for guiding said articles from the exit opening to, and over, the top of the holder, with each article in the pathway pushing the article ahead of it along the pathway. The arrangement is such that the articles are visible while in transit along the pathway to the top of the holder.
