ABSTRACT:
The selection console of the present invention affords a plurality of finger-actuated push buttons which move a short distance to actuate the item-selecting mechanism of a vending machine. The console utilizes a single solenoid to unlock the selector mechanism in response to the energization of the coin accumulator and price mechanism and actuation of a selection price switch. Further, the machine permits the items in the vending machine to be priced at different values without the necessity of separate mechanisms, except for a switch to be actuated by each price bar. Once a price has been selected, the locking mechanism of the console of this invention prohibits one from changing to a different item.
