ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for adapting a conventional mechanical cigarette vending machine having an upper tier of magazines and a lower tier of magazines, a first shelf for supporting a primary stack of cigarettes and a second shelf for supporting a reserve stack of cigarettes, to dispense cigarette packages containing one-half the number of cigarettes in a conventional package of cigarettes.
The apparatus consists of three elements: an L-shaped insert designed to be attached to the pusher plate for moving the reserve stack of cigarettes into the vending position, a second insert designed to be attached by means of clips to the vertical wall of the forward portion of the magazine, and a clip element designed to be attached to the floor of this magazine below the reserve stack of cigarettes. This apparatus maintains the stack of packages of cigarettes, containing one-half the number of cigarettes in a normal package, in stacked relationship. The clip prevents the accidental vending of more than one package of cigarettes at a time.
