ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a coin operated vending machine for individual golf ball or similarly sized product, includes a rotating carousel for holding stacks of product within a housing with an enclosed main display compartment and a slide assembly for dispensing product from the carousel into a dispensing area. A carousel including a plurality of vertical guides for containing a stacked array of individual golf ball units therein, is rotatably supported within the main display compartment such that each of the guides is selectively positional in vertical alignment over a drop hole below the slide assembly, the drop hole being sized and configured to receive an individual, lower most product unit dropped from the aligned guide. A conventional type coin released lock mechanism is provided which is structured to accept coins to release the slide assembly for inward movement to the extended position, causing the individual golf ball product within the drop hole to be carried from below the aligned guide to a drop chute where it is deposited thereon and dispensed to the user.
