ABSTRACT:
A coin-operated vending machine and method for dispensing a product which includes a novel dispensing wheel design which prevents bridging of the product. A funnel is used to direct product from the product reservoir into the dispensing cup which has a large cross-sectional area. Front and back antibleed flaps prevent product from bleeding through to the coin drawer and to the dispensing chute. All the seams of the vending machine incorporate a unique overlap design to prevent nondestructive entry into the machine. The coin drawer includes sections to distinguish the revenue generated by each product used in the machine. Additionally, the chute flap eliminates springs by utilizing an eccentric hinge. The present invention also enables the product to be quickly and easily removed from the machine when servicing the machine.
