 The bubble gum dispenser was invented by Alexander and the bubble gum dispenser first appeared in 1907 New York city platform.  The older version of the bubble gum machine was water instead of bubble gum and still in exchange for coins.  The modern version of the bubble gum dispenser is usually plastic, red with a fun and exciting way for the gum to travel through. Like a spiral tunnel.  I think the bubble gum dispenser industry has a lot to improve and that they could make a lot more money. They could make them bigger with bubble gum flavors people have never heard of. Also make more fun and crazy bubble gum dispensers. The bubble gum industry could expand off of there ideas and make a giant one for the Guinness book of world records. The function of the bubble gum machine is to send a bubble to a person for money. But they make it much more fun and exciting to get a gum ball also the make the gumball dispenser stand out.

 The body is the structure and the base of the bubble gum machine. I t also contains the gum balls with in the machine and attaches all the parts. The body of the bubble gum dispenser is the casing for the parts on the in side. The body hides all the gears also keeps parts attached.  The body of the bubble gum dispenser is usually a hard metal called molten zinc. with a long lasting coat of red paint.  The metal is useful because the body is strong shiny and light weight. The metal holds up the gum balls. Making it great for homes and easy to move.  The molten is for strength and structure. The zinc is for making the metal light and shiny so there easy to move. The body helps contains the gum balls with in the machine and attaches all the parts.

 A bubble gum wheel is to make sure only one gum ball per one coin. To prevent other gum balls from leaving by spinning to a opening then after on the bubble gum wheel snaps shut.  The bubble gum wheel is also made of molten zinc. And uses screws and bolts to hold in place.  Molten zinc is used because it looks nice and shiny also the metal is light weight and easy to lift. The screws and bolts are used because there made of steel. Also they hold parts in place so the wont move.

 The globe or jar that is to keep gumballs on the inside and to keep everything else on the out side like bugs. The jar is usually a clear container so you can watch the gumballs and see the color of the gumballs.  Some bubble gum dispensers have a globe that is glass or hard plastic.  The glass globe is useful because they are clear and gorgeous. They maybe fragile but the glass is a great chose because it will not fail you. Also glass will last a long time.  The hard plastic is useful because hard plastic is strong and is great for little kids. The hard plastic will not scratch easy so if it breaks you wont have to worry about getting cut. Also the hard plastic is light weight.

 The bubble gum door is to keep the gumballs from popping out. Also to keep everything else on the out side so the gumballs don’t have bugs on them. The door also helps to keep the gumballs fresh so they don’t rot.  Bubble gum door is usually made out of hard plastic or the metal molten zinc.  The molten zinc is light weight and shiny. Also the molten is easy to make look nice and is very shiny  The hard plastic is much harder to work with because hard plastic is a lot more complicated then making a metal one. The hard plastic is stiff and strong so nothing will get out and so you can easily open the door.

 Most metal bubble gum coin collector have there company's name or a funky design.  The molten is soft when heat so when the molten zinc gets shaped. The molten zinc will fill into the empty space making a cool patter or logo.  The molten zinc is resourceful because it is easy to mend also the metal is light weight and very shiny.  The coin collector is very complicated and hard to make but the designs and logo’s are amazing.
