ABSTRACT:
An adapter device for a cigarette package dispensing machine for modifying the dispensing machine to contain and dispense smaller sized packages than the dispensing machine was originally designed to contain and dispense. Typical cigarette dispensing machines include a plurality of package column support structures for supporting two adjacent front to back ranks of columns of stacked cigarette packages of a predetermined size. Each column support structure includes a movable package column pusher plate for moving the back most column of packages to the front of the column support structure when the front most column of packages has been depleted. The adapter device includes a fixed position spacer panel located at one side wall of the column support structure to effectively narrow the support structure by an amount generally equal to the difference in width between the larger sized predetermined packages for which the dispensing machine was designed and the smaller sized packages, and a package column slide structure for holding the back most column of smaller sized packages, the column slide structure being attached to the package column pusher plate for movement therewith when the front most column of smaller sized packages has been depleted.
