ABSTRACT:
A vendor for dispensing a single article at a time from a stack of flat articles such as papers or magazines. The vendor has a separator to separate at least an edge of the top article from the stack, and a conveyor insertable beneath the separated article to convey the separated top article away from the stack. A presser can optionally be provided to press against the separated top article and hold it to the conveyor means while the article is being dispensed. A coin operated release is provided to prevent operation of the device except after some prerequisite condition has been met, for example the insertion of a predetermined number of coins. The invention contemplates the method of lifting the edge, inserting the conveyor underneath it, and issuing the article on the conveyor. Optionally the presser can hold the article firmly to the conveyor to assist the operation.
