fig2 the stack is continued to be inserted on about the wheel until edges 41 are positioned atop the strip of high friction emory cloth 31 as illustrated in fig3 and 4 within the wedge shaped space provided by the wheel periphery and rear portion of the band to dispense a filter the hand crank 25 is rotated whereupon the innermost member of the stack is urged off of the stack and between the area of substantial tangential contact of the band and wheel and then out of the dispenser this may be done with the door 15 in an open position although normally it is done with the door closed such that the filters pass individually through the slot 17 after the dispensing of one of the filters continued rotation of the crank will cause the next successive dispenser in the stack to be urged out of the device the just described dispenser has been found to work in an extremely reliable manner by this is meant that operations of the hand crank predictably cause one dispenser at a time to be sequentially dispensed from the stack with neither significant overlap or gapping occurring such is believed to be attributable to the presence of the relatively high frictional area of the band 31 located behind the wheel upon which the edges 41 of the stack are positioned in the wedge shaped space in combination with the relatively low frictional area of the band that extends from the end of the emory cloth into contact with the wheel out to the exit of the dispenser it is also believed to be attributable to the fact that the high friction area comes close to but does not actually make contact with the.
