ABSTRACT:
A newspaper vending machine having a plurality of inclined slides mounted so that their top surfaces lie in a common plane and a plurality of friction belts, one between each pair of slides. The slides have a low coefficient of friction with paper while the friction belts have a high coefficient of friction with paper. The friction belts are movable from a normal position below the top surfaces of the slides to an elevated position above the latter surfaces and slightly rearwardly of their normal position. A pressure plate biases a vertical stack of newspapers positioned on the slides in a downward direction along the slides toward a discharge chute. Transporting structure is located between the discharge chute and the slides for engaging the bottom edge of the leading newspaper and removing the newspaper to and discharging it into the discharge chute. Moving structure is provided for moving the friction belts to an elevated position such that the top surfaces of the belts are below the bottom edge of the leading newspaper.
