ABSTRACT:
A drum-type vending machine for vending articles, particularly snack-size candy, comprises a housing, a rotary drum mounted within the housing for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the drum, the drum including a plurality of vertical bins for holding articles, and a dispensing mechanism in the form of a coin slide and a candy dispensing chute, the coin slide being selectively operable with the bins for dispensing a bottom-most candy from a selected one of the bins. Each of the vertical bins comprises wire members for retaining articles in the stack, the position of the wire members being radially adjustable for maintaining the candy in a preferred orientation in the stack.
