Abstract:
A ball storage and dispensing device comprising a one-piece, hollow, cylindrical storage tube having a cylindrical wall for storing balls, said tube having an internal diameter over substantially its entire length which is greater than the diameter of any of the balls to be stored therein, the lower end of said tube having a bottom opening which is smaller than the internal diameter of the rest of the tube and of a size and shape to prevent balls stored in said tube from falling out of the tube through said bottom opening, said lower end of said tube having a ball-dispensing aperture larger than the diameter of any ball stored in the tube, said aperture being spaced above said bottom opening and separated therefrom by said wall, and said bottom opening being sufficiently large to permit an individual to insert a finger upwardly through said bottom opening and push a ball at the bottom of said tube upwardly and outwardly through said ball-dispensing aperture.
