A system for dispensing bar-like articles, which comprises: a parallelogram arrangement of pivotally connected frame members for initially supporting a supply of bar-like articles orthogonally with respect to a pair of opposed frame members when said frame members are in first positions, and for supporting the supply of bar-like articles at inclines to said opposed frame members when said frame members are pivoted to second positions; a magazine having a pair of opposed rails spaced apart a distance equal to the spacing of said opposed frame members when said opposed frame members are in said second positions; means for coupling the frame member arrangement in said second position to said opposed rails to enable the transfer of the bar-like articles from said frame member arrangement to said magazine; and means secured to saidd magazine for supporting the bar-like articles between said rails in the inclined positions.
