Abstract

A stir stick dispenser, comprising a stir stick magazine that contains a stack of stir sticks on a support surface, and an extractor arranged below the magazine to extract stir sticks therefrom. The magazine comprises a counteracting member partially defining an outlet of the magazine having a height of the same thickness of a stir stick to allow one to pass through the outlet. Only a central portion of the stir stick at the bottom of the stack rests on the support surface and the side portions of the stir stick protrude from the support surface. The member has a width equal to the support surface, and the lower end of the magazine is spaced from the support surface greater than the height of the outlet, such that during extraction, the member and the lower end do not interfere with the side portions, even when they are downwardly or upwardly curved.
