ABSTRACT:
A coin-controlled, manually operably golf ball vending machine capable of dispensing a selected number of balls for each coin deposited in the machine. The vending machine includes a ball hopper, a ramp below the hopper defining a ball dispensing opening between them, and a gate rotatably mounted at the opening which extends partially thereacross in a closed position to cause the balls to bridge the opening. An actuating lever is pulled forward to dispense balls held in a rotatable ball receptacle, and is then returned to its initial position. This action of the lever also swings the gate into the mass of balls in the hopper to break up the bridging of balls, and release a number of balls down the ramp to fill the rotatable ball receptacle which extends across the bottom of the ramp. The coin receiving mechanism is adapted to be operated by the action of the lever, and is further adapted to restrain movement of the lever when no coin has been deposited or when an improper sized coin has been deposited in the coin receiver.
