Abstract

The invention provides a device for dispensing tickets in the form of segments cut off from a single paid-out strip, the device comprising a two-portion container, each portion of the container carrying a cutter blade, the portions of the container being movable relative to each other between a first relative position in which the blades are in a position to cooperate with each other for cutting off a ticket, and a second relative position in which the blades are remote from each other so as to leave sufficient space between them to give easy access to the path of the strip. According to one of the characteristics of the invention, the device comprises a ticket extractor situated downstream from the blades in the payout direction of the strip, the extractor comprising respective rollers coupled to each of the portions of the container such that, in the first above-mentioned position, the rollers are in contact with each other along a generator line, and, in the second position, the rollers are spaced apart from each other by a distance that is not less than the distance between the blades when in their second position.
