ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a modular pedestal for a bank of vending machines, comprising a plurality of pedestal modules onto which each vending machine is mounted. Each pedestal module has a plurality of connecting posts disposed adjacent to edges of the top face at selected positions, so that when pedestal modules are placed side-by-side at least one post on the pedestal module is adjacent to at least one post on an adjacent pedestal module. A connecting member, having a plurality of openings spaced apart a distance approximating the spacing between adjacent posts of the adjacent pedestal modules, is placed over the adjacent connecting posts to connect the modules together, and retained in position by the base of the vending machine. In a preferred embodiment the sides of the pedestal modules converge slightly toward the top and the openings in the connecting elements are slightly larger than the posts, allowing adjacent pedestal modules to shift relative to one another and thus to accommodate an uneven floor surface.
