ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An automatic cup dispenser for dispensing cups from a stack of inverted cups, each including a bottom wall, a side wall and a substantially circular peripheral top rim, comprises opposed pairs of rotors mounted on a frame for rotation, in alternate directions, about ver- tical axes and each having a shoulder for engaging a lip of the lowermost cup, each rotor being supported on the frame, in positions such that its upper end engages the lip of the lowermost cup in the stack. Each rotor has a helical groove for displacing the cup downwardly, the groove of adjacent rotors extending oppositely. A link connecting adjacent arms is lockable to its respective arm for lock- ing the arms and the rotors. Upon rotation of the rotors, the lowermost cup is moved downwardly while the remainder of the cups are held in position by shoulders on the rotors, and the rotors are adjustable to accommodate cups of different sizes. Air tubes on the links and parallel to the stack have jet openings for directing air on the lowermost cup.
