ABSTRACT:
A storage bin structure is used for superposed articles in an automatic vending machine and includes a front wall unit which can be moved to vary the volume of the storage space for the articles to be mold. A conveyer unit includes two motor-activated circular front wheels and two elliptical rear wheels. Two endless conveyer belts run around the front wheels and the rear wheels. When the belts are idle, the upper ends of the rear wheels are below those of the front wheels so as to prevent the lowermost one of the superposed articles from forward movement. When the belts circulate in response to entry of coin or coins, the rear wheels rotate so that the upper ends of the rear wheels are higher than those of the front wheels, thereby moving the articles forward.
