Abstract: An inclined shelf article dispensing machine having a stack of vertically spaced article support structures each provided with a series of side-by-side inclined article supports adapted to receive articles in a line thereon which are restrained against gravitational discharge by a blocking wall at the lower end of the structure. Selectively operable mechanism is provided for lifting a lowermost product on a support of a selected structure through a displacement for gravitational discharge over the blocking wall engaged thereby. Clutch and cam means are provided in association with each structure for effecting discharge of articles from the supports thereof in a repeated pattern upon successive operations of corresponding clutch means by the operating mechanism. Articles of diverse sizes may be dispensed from the supports without alteration of the operating mechanism.

Abstract: A general-merchandising machine employs a plurality of horizontal display carriers, each having an identical series of side-by-side product compartments. A closed loop conveyor moves the carriers upwardly or downwardly past a single, horizontally extending delivery opening in the cabinet of the machine. Each of the carriers is pivotally mounted on the conveyor, means being provided at the top and the bottom of the conveyor to prevent substantial tilting of each carrier as it changes its direction of travel. The conveyor is controlled by the customer to permit movement of the compartments of a selected carrier into registration with the delivery opening, the latter being normally closed by a horizontal series of transparent, sliding doors which mutually support one another.
