Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus comprising at least two cylindrical parts (d,g), a first of said two parts (d) being releasably held within a second of said two parts (g), characterised by said first and second parts being moveable relative to one another in a helical fashion to display at least two apertures (i,f) leading to a chamber for retaining articles (b) which are to be dispensed from the apparatus, one of said apertures being in the first of said two parts (d) and the second aperture being in the second of said two parts (g), with said first aperture (i) being adjacent to a first end of the first part and said second aperture (f) being adjacent to a first end of the second part, said first and second apertures (i,f) being adjacent relatively opposed ends of said parts when one part is releasably held within the other, with the first part (d) also having access means to the chamber for retaining articles which is in proximity to the end of the second part having second aperture (f) and which on relative rotation of parts (d,g) said access means becomes aligned with aperture (f) so permitting access to the articles in the chamber.
