ABSTRACT:
A vending machine having an enclosure for articles to be vended, a lockable door to the enclosure and a coin operated locking mechanism to unlock the door when a predetermined combination of coins is placed in the coin operated mechanism. A coin mechanism enclosure includes releasable support which is engageable with the coin operated mechanism to hold the mechanism in a predetermined position to control the opening of the door. Structure is provided to release the coin mechanism from the support to remove the coin mechanism from the coin mechanism enclosure.
A vending machine having an enclosure for articles to be vended, a lockable door to the enclosure and a coin operated locking mechanism to unlock the door when a predetermined combination of coins is received by the mechanism. A latch member is supported by the door with the latch member being engageable with a keeper within the coin mechanism when the door is locked. During closing of the vending machine door, the forward end of the latch member engages the keeper which causes deflection of the latch member such that the latch member passes over the keeper. The latch member is supported by a support bracket whose resistance to bending increases in a direction proceeding away from the point of attachment of the latch member to the support bracket. The support bracket, thus, has increased resistance to bending forces from contact of the latch member with the keeper and tends to maintain the position of the latch member with respect to the keeper during long-term usage of the vending machine.
