Abstract: A device in a vending machine for releasing products arranged in a stack made up of horizontal rows each including a plurality of products includes a containing structure (1, 2, 3, 4) inside which there are positioned the members (5, 6, 7) for selecting and releasing the products while the controlling and driving components are positioned outside, the selecting and releasing members including a plurality of doors (7) longitudinally aligned along the drop channel and means suitable to perform a sequential opening of said doors (7) and a subsequent closing thereof. This sequential opening allows to use the machine for dispensing different products without requiring a manual adjustment of the mechanical members which retain the products.

Abstract: A device for releasing the products in a vending machine includes a structure for containing the stack of products consisting in a front plate (1) and a rear plate (2) to which two flanks (3a, 3b) and two walls (4a, 4b) are secured, a pair of rocker levers (5a, 5b) and a revolving basket (6) being rotatably mounted inside structure for alternately supporting the two staggered columns forming the stack of products and for releasing the products. The driving components, which impart a unidirectional revolving motion to the basket (6), and the controlling components of the rockers (5a, 5b), which consist in a pair of cams (14) which rotate at half the revolving speed of the basket (6), are positioned outside said structure.
