ABSTRACT:
A dispensing machine in the form of a vending machine for vending generally planar articles, which may be rigid or flexible, includes an article feed system having a first generally horizontal conveyor on which the articles are arranged generally vertically side-by-side and by which they are moved towards a second generally transversely extending conveyor which removes the endmost article from the first conveyor and supplies it to an outlet slot in the housing of the machine and from which it is removed by the user. The second conveyor may remove articles from the first conveyor generally vertically upwardly or generally horizontally. The article feed system is driven by operation of a handle by the user through an intermediate mechanical drive system connected between the handle and the article feed system and keys may be provided for preventing operation of the article feed system in the absence of the provision by the user of the required amount of money for an article.
