在である。Reference numeral 7 denotes a rotating body, which is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape which is open at the top and closed at the front and back, and has a takeout hole 8 at the bottom through which only one tooth T passes therethrough in the axial direction.
Reference numeral 9 denotes a handle, which protrudes from the center of the upper left and right ends of the rotating body 7 and protrudes from the window 2 to the outside of the outer box 1. Reference numeral 10 denotes a pair of pins which are inserted through the upper part of the outer case 1 and the axis of the hopper 4 and are fixed to the axis of the rotating body 7. Therefore, the rotating body 7 provided outside the hopper 4 is rotatable around the pin 10.

成しておくとよい。Then, the group of toothpicks T is stored in the hopper 4,
For example, when the right handle 9 is pushed downward, the rotating body 7 rotates clockwise, so that the tooth T in the take-out hole 8 is pushed by the right side wall of the take-out hole 8, and the left side on the receiving plate 11. Moving. The discharge hole 5 is closed by the movement of the tooth T. The moved toothpick T finally falls from the receiving plate 11 onto the left discharge plate 12, as shown in FIG. The toothpick T that has fallen falls down on the discharge plate 12 and
Since it stops at 3, it can be easily taken out with a fingertip. In addition, in order to make it easier to remove the toothpick T, a lower end of the side wall of the outer box 1 is cut out to provide an upper take-out opening 15 at the center of the upper edge of the lower opening 3, and a space between the pair of stoppers 13 is cut out. The lower outlets 16 are preferably formed respectively.

Also in this case, the rotating body 7 rotates smoothly,
In order to realize a free stop, the materials of the hopper 4, the rotating body 7 and the receiving plate 11 are appropriately selected, and the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating body 7 or one surface, the lower surface of the hopper 4 and the receiving plate 11
A tape or a paint is applied to the upper surface of the substrate.
