ABSTRACT:
In a dispensing machine of a helical coil type having a plurality of shelves which each contain at least one elongated helical dispensing coil, an insert member is received inside the convolutions of selected coils. Each insert member comprises a plastic rail member having a bracket at one end. The bracket loosely and nonrotatably journals the insert member about the shank of the output shaft of the motor for the coil. The insert member extends forwardly through the coil to a position between the last and next to last convolutions of the coil. The insert member is free floating relative to the coil by virtue of its mounting and rides on the inner surfaces of the lowermost portions of the convolutions of the coil. Rotation of the coil imparts a rocking movement to the insert member. Thus, the insert member supports the products received in the coil above the shelf surface and further agitates these products to prevent their sticking to the insert member.
