Abstract
The ticket display and dispenser is a box forming one or more compartments for containing one or more ticket chains made up of a plurality of end-to-end or side-to-side interconnected tickets arranged in series-connected fashion. Each chain of tickets is fed forwardly through a ticket-entry slot for upward travel over a display structure and then rearwardly through a ticket-re-entry slot for exit through a ticket-exit slot at the rear of the box. The open front of the box is closed by a transparent cover that overlies the display structure and tickets displayed thereon. The ticket exit is located at the rear of the apparatus and the cover is lockable in place to prevent unauthorized access to the tickets, usually of the lottery type.
