Abstract

A dispenser for goods such as coffee has a container with a discharge opening in its bottom, a rotor which covers the bottom of the container and is provided with vanes which define a plurality of dispensing compartments, and a wiper which covers the rotor in the vicinity of the discharge opening. A drive mechanism with a stepwise pivoting action is operable to move one dispensing compartment at a time to the discharge opening. The lower surface of each vane has a leading edge which contacts the container bottom, and there is a rake space between this lower surface and the bottom of the container. The wiper extends up to intersect the container wall at an acute angle to prevent the goods from rotating with the rotor.
