ABSTRACT:
An automatic vending machine includes a housing having a hinged cover which is releasably locked in a closed position. Coins are inserted in a slot formed in a front wall of the housing and move through a coin checking channel where they are checked by an electronic coin checker. If the correct amount has been deposited, a motor is switched on to move an arm which pushes out a newspaper on the top of a stack in the housing. When a detector senses that the newspaper has been delivered, the coins are deposited in a collection container. When automatic machine is to be restocked and the coins collected, a servicing person inserts a card with a data carrier into the housing and data is read from the card and stored by a computer and a memory. Data concerning the amount collected and the operation of the machine are subsequently transferred to the data carrier of the card and the cover is then unlocked so that the machine can be serviced.
