  • Patent number: 9147304
    Abstract: A vending machine gearmotor that can be mounted in a variety of orientations and positions to better operate a variety of different size helix product drives and which permits a single type or design for a gearmotor to be used throughout a vending machine to drive single or dual-spiral selections. In this regard, the gearmotor can be used to rotate helix drives in either clockwise or counter clockwise directions with minimal effort required to change the direction of rotation. Thus, the gearmotors can be used in paired arrangements with two adjacent gearmotors being mounted in reversed directions so that one drives its helix in counter clockwise direction and the adjacent helix is driven in a clockwise direction with a product to be vended being carried by both adjacent helixes.
