Abstract: An improved design for a vending machine is disclosed wherein the cash receipts and coin dispensing mechanisms of the machine are stored within a separate internal security pylon. The front exterior panel of the machine is pivotable relative thereto by a piano hinge to allow access to the interior of the machine for service operations, and is provided with a first lock. Opening of the front outer door allows access to a security pylon mounted behind and on the interior of the front panel which is provided with a second lock. The monetary contents of the machine are stored within the security pylon so that the cash stored therein can be removed only after successively opening the first and second locks.

Abstract: A vending machine providing for easy and convenient repair of the machine in the event of external damage thereto as by defacement or vandalism. The front surface of the vending machine has a removable panel covering a substantial portion of the front surface area. The side surfaces of the machine are also provided with removable panels which are identical to the panel on the front surface such that a single type of replacement panel may be used to provide repairs for three different sides of the machine in the event any one of the panels is mutilated or defaced. The identical panels extend for substantially the full height of the vending machine and extend for substantially the full width of the sides of the machine and across a substantial portion of the width of the front thereof, thereby providing coverage of a substantial portion of damagable surface areas of the vending machine.

Abstract: A storage cabinet containing a folding cutting table of the type having hingedly connected table top panels which may be extended to form a flat continuous table surface or folded into a relatively compact, stacked assembly and stored within the cabinet.
