ABSTRACT:
A vending machine for newspapers and magazines has the capability of dispensing one newspaper at a time to a customer following insertion by the customer of proper coins into a conventional coin mechanism. The insertion of the coins releases a normally locked dispensing lever which the customer need only pull a single time in one direction. A roller activated by the dispensing lever buckles the topmost newspaper in a stack on a biased platform to release the folded edge of the newspaper from beneath a biased hold-down plate, the released newspaper gravitating onto a delivery tray near the bottom of the machine where it can be picked up freely by the customer. The delivery system resets itself automatically for the dispensing of additional newspapers, one at a time, sequentially, from the top of the stack each time the dispensing lever is returned automatically to the non-dispensing position where it remains locked until proper coins are again inserted. The door of the vending machine can be opened to provide access to the last paper in a door compartment or to restock the machine.
