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: This invention discloses a magnetic stripe card reader/writer apparatus comprising a card reader/writer device and a basic interface circuit. The recording head of the card reader/writer device is mounted on the end of a sensor arm and is driven over the magnetic stripe in an arcuate path by a head drive motor. The card reader/writer device includes a unique card locking mechanism which allows insertion of the card in only one manner and locks the card in place before initiating the reading or writing operation of the device. The interface circuit controls the forward and reverse motion of the head drive motor, converts magnetic data previously recorded on the card into digital information and records digital information onto the magnetic stripe card in the form of magnetic data.
