magnetic pulls 95 l , 95 r , 96 l , 96 r but are not necessary . when using a plastic or other material for a magazine 68 the hold down screw 94 and the retaining clip 98 along with the rectangular housing door 36 keep the magazine 68 in position . at this point the chute lid 29 can be closed and the magnetic pulls 53 l , 53 r , 54 l , 54 r , 57 l , 57 r , 59 l and 59 r will engage and secure the chute lid 29 . the rectangular housing door 36 can be returned to the closed position and the magnetic pulls 66 and 65 will engage . next close the door latch 33 with the latch stud 34 . now the capital lid 43 is pulled down to the closed position and the magnetic pulls 73 l , 73 r , 91 l and 91 r will engage and secure the lid 43 . the dispenser 20 is now considered closed and loaded , and is now ready for delivery of animal treats 35 . when cycling treats 35 through the dispenser 20 the magazine 68 has treat stop tabs 61 l and 61 r that keep the treats 35 from exiting more than one at a time . the treat tabs 61 l and 61 r also keep the treats 35 from jamming the magazine 68 and the spindle chamber 86 . with the magazine 68 in place delivery of treats 35 is achieved by turning the hand crank 21 forward approximately ⅓ turn forward toward the user . the hand crank 21 is connected to the crank axel 22 along with the spindle 58 . a spindle return spring 78 is also connected to the spindle 58 and to the spindle base block 56 . when the hand crank 22 is turned forward toward the user approximately ⅓ turn the spindle 58 rotates inside the circular recesses 82 l and 82 r along with the spindle chamber 86 and the crank axel 22 . this expands the spindle return spring 78 and puts tension on the crank axel 22 . while moving forward the spindle 58 has a spindle rotation groove 81 in the left side that is used with a spindle rotation stop screw 101 . the spindle rotation stop screw 101 prevents the spindle 58 from traveling too far forward once the treat 35 is delivered , or too far backward past the upright position . the spindle return spring 78 when contracted brings the spindle 58 and spindle chamber 86 back to the upright position and the next treat 35 falls into the spindle chamber 86 and the cycle can be repeated . along with the stop tabs 61 l and 61 r the chute lid 29 has a retaining strip 49 and a retaining plate 50 that keep the treat stack 35 in proper alignment and prevents jamming , and also allows only one treat 35 at a time to be delivered . in order to unload an empty magazine 68 the dispenser 20 is left mounted to the wall . open the capital lid 43 , rectangular housing door 36 and the chute lid 29 as previously discussed . grip the magazine 68 by the carry handle / stop 69 and lift up until the hold down screw 94 and the retaining slot 97 are cleared and pull outward toward the user until clearing the dispenser 20 . when using the dispenser 20 without a magazine 68 the rear interior wall 89 is required . in order to change the rear interior wall from wall 70 to wall 89 the procedure is as follows . remove the dispenser 20 from the wall and start by removing threaded fasteners 92 l and 92 r and lift off capital 43 , 42 . next disengage the door latch 33 and remove the hinge pins 64 a and 64 b and remove the rectangular housing door 36 . next remove the threaded fasteners 27 l , 27 r and lift off the chute cover 25 with the chute lid 29 . pull the rolling pin 60 from the crank axel 22 . now remove the spindle mounting screw 84 and then remove threaded fasteners 40 l , 32 l , 100 l , 24 l . now lift off the left wall 26 with the spindle rotation stop screw 101 left in place . next let the spindle 58 roll backward until the spring plug 76 falls out of the plug chamber 77 and then slide the hand crank 21 and crank axel 22 out together . now rotate the spindle 58 forward and out until the spindle return spring 78 clears . now remove threaded fasteners 80 l , 80 r , 104 l , 104 r , 87 a , b , 105 , 87 c , d , 106 l , 106 r and remove the rear interior wall 70 and replace it with rear interior wall 89 . do not break down rear exterior wall 90 from the right wall 23 and the spindle base block 56 . once the rear interior wall 89 is inserted and everything reassembled in reverse order the dispenser 20 is now ready for loading . lay the dispenser 20 in your left hand with the capital 42 , 43 elevated approximately 45 degrees . next open the capital lid 43 and let it rest in the open position . now open the door latch 33 , and open the rectangular housing door 36 until it rest on the user &# 39 ; s wrist . now open the chute lid 29 and let it rest on the chute cover 25 . place one treat 35 in the spindle chamber 86 ( see fig8 ) and then start stacking the treats 35 one on top of the other until a desired quantity is reached . now keeping the dispenser 20 with the capital 42 , 43 elevated 45 degrees close the chute lid 29 followed by the door 36 and engage the door latch 33 . next pull the capital lid 43 to its closed position and bring the dispenser 20 to an upright position . the dispenser 20 is now closed and loaded and ready to remount to the wall for operation . three differences in the operation of using the dispenser 20 without a magazine 68 as compared to use with one are as follows : 1 . when not using a magazine 68 the walls 89 , 26 , 23 and the rectangular housing door 36 acts as the dispenser &# 39 ; s 20 own chute to the spindle chamber 86 . 2 . when not using a magazine 68 the thicker rear interior wall 89 takes up the extra space that a magazine 68 would require . this keeps the treat stack 35 lined up vertically so the treats 35 will fall in the spindle chamber 86 correctly . 3 . when not using a magazine 68 this means that there are no stop tabs 61 l , 61 r . this leaves only the retaining strip 49 and the retaining plate 50 to keep the treats 35 from jamming the spindle chamber 86 or exiting the spindle chamber 86 more than one at a time . the recess 51 also allows the treats 35 not to hit the chute lid 29 when exiting the spindle chamber . the foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the appended figures have been presented only for illustrative and descriptive purposes . they are not intended to be exhaustive and are not intended to limit the scope and spirit of the invention . the embodiments were selected and described to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications . one skilled in the art will recognize that many variations can be made to the invention disclosed in this specification without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention .
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 .
