ABSTRACT:
A coin operated product dispensing machine including a housing with an enclosed main display compartment and an elongate slide plate extending therethrough and attached at one end to the housing with a biasing element, an opposite free end of the slide plate extending outwardly from a front wall of the housing and defining a pull handle, wherein the slide plate is movable between a relaxed position and an extended position by pulling the handle at the free end thereof. A carousel, including vertically oriented chambers for containing a stacked array of individual product units therein, is rotatably supported within the main display compartment such that each of the chambers is selectively positionable in vertical alignment over a drop hole in the slide plate, the drop hole being sized and configured to receive an individual, lower most product unit dropped from the aligned chamber. A coin released lock mechanism, structured to accept a predetermined size coin and reject other size coins, releases the slide plate for outward movement to the extended position, causing the individual product unit within the drop hole to be carried from below the chamber to a drop chute where it is deposited thereon and dispensed to a user.
