Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a vending machine wherein a product can easily be removed and restored to the correct orientation when the product has become jammed, and an adjustment related to the size of the product, such as the diameter, is not required. Product storage paths (2), which extend in a substantially vertical direction and house products, are formed such that at least one side surface can be opened, with the products being stored and replenished in the product storage paths via the opened side surface and with the products stacked in a sideways orientation. A product dispensing mechanism (10) is configured from a non-adjusting dispensing mechanism, with which dispensing of the products and restriction of the dispensing of the products can be performed without adjusting the effective passage dimensions of the product storage paths (2), even for types of products for which the product diameter differs.
