ABSTRACT:
A vending apparatus is disclosed which is adjustable for delivering products of different sizes and shapes and which is particularly suited for easy field conversion or changeover for a desired product delivery. The vending apparatus includes a plurality of identical rotary dispensing shafts each having a helical scroll with the dispensing shafts vertically disposed in an aligned array. To establish a preselected drop-off for a given product, the dispensing shafts are each angularly adjustable relative to one another. A power operated, rotary actuator shaft is provided with a plurality of gears fixed on the actuator shaft. The actuator shaft gears are meshingly engageable respectively with a corresponding gear on each dispensing shaft. For ease of product delivery changeover, the actuator shaft gears are also each retractable into an adjust position in disengaged position to its respective dispensing shaft gear whereby the relative angular position of that dispensing shaft may be selectively adjusted for product delivery changeover.
