DISPENSING APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B65D83/00 

FIELD: human vital needs satisfaction.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises: a transfer element comprising n receiving sets n-m of which are appropriate for the items reception, and the receiving sets change the receiving items position into the items delivery position; a detector element with the aim of presence in the receiving sets determination where the detector element is located in-between the receiving and delivery positions.
