ABSTRACT:
An article-dispensing assembly including a door movably mounted on a plate for opening and closing an opening provided in the plate, the door including a shelf extending inwardly of the opening and providing a bin for holding an article to be dispensed. A control mechanism is movable to a first position to allow transfer of an article from a feed mechanism to the bin, and movable to a second position to block transfer of an article from the feed unit to the bin. An operating unit interconnects the control unit and door to allow loading of the bin when the door is in its closed position and to preclude loading of the bin when the door is moved from the closed position. A slide bar is slidably mounted and extends transversely of the bin. An interlock unit is movably mounted at one side of the opening to a first position that blocks sliding movement of the slide bar, and to a second position allowing sliding movement of the slide bar to an extended position. A coin-actuating unit connected to the interlock unit moves the interlock unit from its first position to its second position. A slide bar actuating unit operatively interconnects the door and the slide bar to preclude movement of the door from its closed position when the interlock unit is in its first position, and operatively engages the slide bar to move the slide bar to the extended position to allow movement of the door from its closed position to its open position when the interlock is in its second position. The interlock unit is engageable with the slide bar to move the slide bar from the extended position back to its initial position.
