ABSTRACT:
A vending machine has a compartment dimensioned to hold at least two columns of cylindrical articles with the articles in axial alignment, front to rear. A bail structure has upper and lower bail bars swingable about a central fore and aft axis, to opposite sides thereof. The lower bail bar, when in one lateral position, supports the bottom articles of both the columns while the upper bail bar supports all other articles in the compartment. The lower bail bar is laterally wider under the rear column than under the front column so that partial swinging of the bail releases the bottom article from only the front column and further swinging releases the bottom article of the rear column. An anti theft member hangs pendulously from the upper bail, in the front column, and serves to prevent movement of a rear column article resting on the lower bail from moving into the front column after an article in the front column has been released from the lower bail.
