ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,540,024, issued on Feb. 3.
"Dispenser for BBs" was invented by Richard B. Weinberg (Highland, Mich.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A dispenser for BBs eliminates binding because the BBs first fill into a groove of the dispenser that is only wide enough to hold BB's single file. The remaining BBs fall back into the main cavity of the dispenser, allowing the BBs in the groove to pass through the dispenser hole one-by-one."
The patent was filed on July 16, 2021, under Application No. 17/378,209.
