Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS4914196
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A general merchandising machine adapted to handle a variety of products has horizontal product dispensing modules provided with removable product trays and a series of selectively operable ejector mechanisms below each tray for forcing a selected, next-to-vend product at an ejecting station above the corresponding mechanism and out of its product row in the tray for gravitation to a vending station. A spring-loaded product pusher for each product row exerts constant pressure on the products in the row to present a new product to the ejecting station after each ejection of the next-to-vend product, and a latch for each pusher is designed to hold the latter away from the ejecting station during loading of the withdrawn tray and to release the pusher as the tray is reinserted into the machine. An auxiliary flipper on certain of the trays assures that the selected product is completely ejected from its tray.
