ABSTRACT:
An article dispensing mechanism for a vending machine includes at least one serpentine track comprising a pair of facing serially cusp-shaped vertical panels. These panels are attached to side plates of the machine and connected to one another by biasing springs in such a manner as to provide yielding horizontal mobility between opposed panels. This horizontal movement of the vertical panels absorbs the usual article impact which occurs during article loading and dispensing. Also, the article discharge control device is mounted to be vertically movable and biased upwardly to absorb impact shocks from the articles incident article dispensing.
