ABSTRACT:
A vending machine rotor is provided which allows for the holding and subsequent dispensing of two or more bottles from a vending machine. The vending machine rotor provides a reservoir which comprises at least two bottle locations in which bottles may be loaded and then from which the bottles may be dispensed. While loaded in the rotor, cut-outs in the rotor enable the necks of at least two of the bottles to overlap by providing recesses in which the outer surfaces of at least two of the bottles may partially radiate outward from the axis of the vending machine rotor. Finally, a thickened portion of the rotor body may be provided to prevent bottles which exceed a maximum diameter from being used with the rotor of the present invention.
