ABSTRACT:
A multi-compartment vending stack body (20) has sides engaging a series of roller assemblies (32) within a dovetail slot allowing movement in a vertical direction. A number of doors (42) are arranged in columns, each door having a spreader (46) rotatably attached and an integral tapered appendage penetrating the rollers upon pivotal rotation of the door. A coin carriage at the bottom of the stack allows the rollers (34) to drop freely a given distance, at least sufficient to allow penetration of only one spreader (46) when a proper combination of coins are introduced. The coin carriage employs a plunger block (62) and a pair of forks (66) to retain a number of spring loaded coin holders (64) each with a radiused cavity the appropriate size of the denomination. When manually urged into the body, the coin depresses the holder (64) and a forked end precisely enters a receiver block (70) allowing a slack eliminator (48) with a tapered flange to be slid away from the roller stack (32) permitting the stack to be penetrated by the spreader (46). A catch (52) holds the slack eliminator (48) away until the door is opened when the pressure of the rollers (34) depresses the catch (52) allowing the spring loaded eliminator (48) to return directly under the rollers (34) impeding further movement.
