ABSTRACT:
A coin-operated particulate product vending machine, such as for candy, nuts and the like, has a horizontally disposed elongate cylindrical product dispensing chamber having a cylindrical tumbler rotatably disposed therein with an aperture for receiving and dispensing particulate product. A plurality of flexible elongate members are disposed about the interior surface of the product dispensing chamber which brush the exterior surface of the tumbler as it rotates from the product receiving mode to the product dispensing mode. The flexible members meter the product flowing into the tumbler and prevent product from escaping around the sides of the tumbler. They also prevent the product from passing through the tumbler from the dispensing chamber to a discharge chute as the tumbler is rotated. The tumbler also has a slideably mounted plunger for varying the size of the tumbler product containing chamber. The plunger can be adjusted externally of the tumbler without opening the tumbler or removing it from the vending machine.
