A manually operated dog treat dispensing machine capable of dispensing dog
treats one at a time, the dispenser having a rectangular housing with a
hinged housing door and hinged capital that serves as a food supply
reservoir which is gravity fed into a spring loaded spindle chamber
mounted on an axel and hand crank. Treats exit the dispenser through a
chute output consisting of a hinged chute lid, two side walls and a base
block and a retaining plate mounted in the end of the chute lid and
adjacent to the spindle chamber acts as a stop preventing dispensing of
more than one dog treat at a time. The dispenser also can function using
a magazine that is inserted inside the rectangular housing area. Magazine
stop tabs at the base of the magazine along with the retaining plate
mounted on the chute lid prevent the dispenser from dispensing more than
one dog treat at a time. Operation of the dispenser is performed by
manually turning the hand crank mounted on the spindle axel, which
rotates the spindle chamber forward, thus dispensing a dog treat through
the output chute, with a return spring pulling the spindle chamber back
to the upright position and ready for a new treat.
