ABSTRACT:
An article dispensing apparatus, particularly for food products such as sandwiches, salads, dessert items, etc. and products such as canned drinks, particularly for on-location food and drink service, which is readily convertible from a self-service reach-in mode of use for a cafeteria-type operation to use as a vendor (i.e., a credit media controlled dispenser), whereby the apparatus may be used for cafeteria-type service during lunch or other peak periods, and as a vendor during off-peak periods. Articles are stocked on endless belt conveyors extending in rear-to-front direction in a cabinet having sliding glass doors at the front for merchandising display of the articles. The conveyors are arranged in tiers one above another and side-by-side in each tier. For the reach-in mode of use, the doors are unlocked. In the vending mode of use, a carrier movable laterally in front of the dispensers receives an article from any dispenser in any tier and moves to a delivery station at one side of the cabinet, and one door is completely locked and the other adapted only partially to be opened to open the delivery station.
