ABSTRACT:
A vendor for packs of cigarettes comprising a cabinet having a window at the front, a plurality of dispensers in the cabinet for the packs, each adapted to hold a plurality of packs of one brand in a row extending in rear-to-front direction in the cabinet, the dispensers being arranged in tiers one above another in the cabinet with a plurality of dispensers located side-by-side in each tier. The tiers are slanted upward from rear to front, and each tier above the lowermost tier overhangs the tier next below at the front. A transparent panel fixed in place at the front of each tier is engageable by the forward packs of the rows in the tier, the fronts of the forward packs being visible through the window and the panel. The forward pack of a row is dispensed, upon its selection by a purchaser (and accompanying deposit of an amount sufficient for its purchase), by being pushed down from behind the respective transparent panel, and drops down to a delivery pan located below the window. Space is provided between the front of each tier and the window to allow the packs dispensed from any tier above the lowermost tier to drop down into the pan.
