ABSTRACT:
An ejecting assembly is provided, which comprises an ejector guide and an ejector which is reciprocable along the ejector guide in ejecting and return directions. An element is provided which is movable past all of the juxtaposed storage columns for holding merchandise and adapted to interengage with the ejecting assembly and to control the reciprocation of the ejector. In order to avoid the expenditure involved in the provision of a plurality of ejectors and associated control elements and to permit a more uniform motion of the ejector to be effected by a relatively simple structure comprising a simple drive, the above-mentioned element, which is adapted to be moved past all storage columns, serves to impart a search movement to only one ejector in an ejector guide relative to a selectable storage column as well as to reciprocate the ejector for an ejection and the ejector guide is adapted to be connected by coupling structure associated with the storage columns to the element for the search movement and to the storage columns for the ejecting movement of the ejector.
