Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A dispenser for capsules or the like utilizes a turnstile member (44) rotatable in only a single direction to transport the capsules from a reservoir (14) to an exit port (40). Fingers (50) on the turnstile arms interleave with corresponding fingers (52) on the dispenser housing (38) to prevent a capsule from being rotated beyond the exit port and back into the housing. A propeller member (20) in the reservoir orients the capsules in a predetermined orientation before they are fed into the turnstile member. A cap (16) on the exterior of the housing which rotates the turnstile member utilizes a bayonet-type detent mechanism (68) to bias the cap (16) into successive dispensing positions. The cap (16) must be pushed toward the housing (38) to be rotatable to the next dispensing position.
