Abstract: 959,572. Coin-freed vending apparatus. ROWE MANUFACTURING CO. Inc. Sept. 26,1960, No. 32970/60. Heading G4V. A vending machine has a refrigerated compartment containing the dispensing mechanism and a second compartment insulated from the refrigerated compartment and containing a coin totalizer which controls the dispensing mechanism, both compartments being closed by a single door. The dispensing mechanism has pivoted shelves 58 released in succession by a traveller 84 moved upwardly by a coil spring 86 in steps controlled by a latch 106 engaging stops formed by openings 70, as described in Specification 900,658. Article selection buttons 154, associated with the coin totalizer and a change giver, control solenoids 130 which move bars 72 upwardly to release the latches in turn and linkages 138, 146and 150 between the solenoids and bars permit the lateral and vertical movement of the bars. Control circuit. The inserted coins step a totalizer arm 196, Fig. 6, to energize the line for a switch 166 operated by a corresponding button 154. Operation of the button energizes the solenoid 130 through a contact 186 of the switch and another contact 182 energizes a solenoid 214 to change over a switch 200 so that a motor 216 drives a cam 222. The cam changes over a switch 218, thus disabling a coin return switch 206 and causing the coin mechanism to accept money and reset arm 196. When all the articles in a column have been dispensed the top shelf changes over a switch 190 to disable the corresponding selection circuit and illuminate a lamp 232.
