ABSTRACT:
A vendor having sliding trays or carriers in a cabinet, a latch being pivotably mounted on one side of the cabinet adjacent the front end of one of a pair of channels in which channels the carrier is slidably mounted by means of two series of rollers, the series being on opposite sides of the carrier. Each channel has upper and lower flanges which extend from its respective side toward the opposite side of the cabinet. A pair of rail members are disposed, one on each of the sides of the cabinets, at the forward ends of the channels. Each rail member has a rear upper surface portion generally flush with the lower flange of its channel and a forward upper surface portion which progresses upwardly in forward direction from the rear upper surface portion to a peak. The peaks are spaced from the forward ends of the upper flanges of their respective channels a distance greater than the diameter of the rollers. The latch is mounted above the rail member at that side and is pivotable between a latching position and an unlatching position. In the latching position the latch acts in conjunction with the forward edge of the upper flange at that side to prevent withdrawal of the carrier from the cabinet by confining a roller on the carrier at that side against upward movement away from the rear upper surface portion of the respective rail member. In the unlatching position, the latch permits withdrawal of the carrier by permitting a roller at that side to roll upwardly and forwardly over the peak of its corresponding rail member.
