Abstract: A driving device in a vending machine includes a pushing member, a securing member, and a driving assembly. The motor of the driving assembly provides a rotating force which acts on the securing member, and the securing member supports and rotates the helical pushing member, to drive goods out of the vending machine. The style of attachment between the pushing member and the securing member is such that the starting angle of the helical pushing member can be adjusted by unclipping the end of the pushing member with fingertip force from the securing member and reclipping it at a different preferred orientation. The driving device is used for adjusting the appropriate rotation angle of the pushing member.

Abstract: A dispensing device in a vending machine to prevent an accidental loss of goods when being operated by a customer includes a bracket, a shaft, a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a sleeve. The first mounting member includes two first sidewalls. The second mounting member includes two second sidewalls. The sleeve is secured around the shaft. Each first sidewall and each second sidewall cooperatively define an installation opening rotatably receiving the shaft therein. The sleeve is limited between the first sidewalls and the second sidewalls, preventing the shaft from moving up and down.

Abstract: A dispensing device for a vending machine includes a frame, a base plate, a limiting member attached to the frame, and a pivot shaft. When supported, the base plate carries a product item but when the support is rotated away the base plate drops to release the product item. The frame includes a main plate and a pair of mounting pieces with mounting holes. The base plate includes a pivot hole for the pivot shaft, the pivot shaft includes a rod, extending though the mounting hole and the pivot hole, and a limiting cap, connected to a distal end of the rod. An inner side of the limiting cap resists against the mounting piece. A resisting post on the limiting member resists against an outer side of the limiting cap, thereby preventing the pivot shaft from working loose and disengaging out of the mounting hole.

Abstract: Mounting apparatus for holding goods containers in a vending machine includes a rack with a cover. At least two containers (warehouses) comprise a center warehouse with a first blocking portion and a left warehouse with a second blocking portion. A sliding member includes a flange. The sliding member can be in a a first position or in a second position. In the first position, the flange abuts the second blocking portion and is disengaged from the first blocking portion, allowing the center warehouse to be moved out of the rack but so preventing the left warehouse from also moving out of the rack. In the second position, the flange abuts the first blocking portion and is disengaged from the second blocking portion, allowing the left warehouse to be moved out of the rack but so preventing the right warehouse from also moving out of the rack.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a box and a separating plate. The box includes a bottom plate and a first side plate. The bottom plate defines a clip slot, and the first side plate defines a clasping hole. The separating plate includes a main body, a clipping portion, and a hook. The clipping portion is deformable and engaged in the clasping hole for preventing the separating plate from moving in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the first side plate. The hook is slidably received in the clip slot for preventing the separating plate from moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for a storehouse in a vending machine is disclosed. The mounting apparatus includes a base, a limiting member, and an installation member. The base is configured for holding a storehouse and includes two blocking plates configured for receiving the storehouse therebetween. The installation member movably mounts the limiting member to one of the two blocking plates. A portion of the limiting strip is located between the two blocking plates to abut a side surface of the storehouse, preventing the storehouse from tilting in a direction substantially parallel to the two blocking plates.

Abstract: A vending machine allowing only one compartment at a time to be filled with goods for sale includes a rack, a plurality of warehouses, a limiting band or rope. The plurality of warehouses is slidably accommodated in the rack. The band or rope is rotatably secured to the rack and engages with each of the plurality of warehouses. The band or rope is stretched to the full when one of the plurality of warehouses is pulled out of the rack, preventing any other warehouse from being pulled out of the rack at the same time.

Abstract: A vending machine includes a sliding way, a storage compartment, and a locking structure. The storage compartment is slidable in the sliding way. The locking structure includes a latching member and a magnetic valve. The latching member is engaged with the storage compartment, and is secured to the storage compartment. The latching member is movable relative to the storage compartment between a lock position and an unlock position. When the latching member is located in the lock position, the latching member is engaged with the sliding way, and the magnetic valve is engaged with the latching member. The latching member is disengaged from the sliding way when located in the unlocked position, and the magnetic valve is disengaged from the latching member.

Abstract: The electronic device enclosure includes a case and a cooling assembly. The case includes a top plate, a bottom plate, a side plate and a mounting plate. The top plate is opposite to the bottom plate, and the side plate is substantially perpendicularly connected to the top plate and the bottom plate. The cooling assembly includes a cooler and a fan secured to the cooler. The mounting plate is secured to the top plate and the bottom plate, the fan is secured to the mounting plate and located between the mounting plate and the cooler.

Abstract: A vending machine with reliable delivery of a bought item of goods includes a cabinet, a motor secured in the cabinet, a helical element, and a pressing member secured to the cabinet. The cabinet includes a bottom plate. A first end of the helical element is secured to the motor and is rotated by the motor. A gap is defined between the pressing member and the bottom plate to allow free rotation of the helical element thereunder. The pressing member is located within and above some coils of the helical element to carry items of goods being bought and ensures that no bought items of goods are snagged or caught by the second end of the helical element as it rotates helical element.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a box and a separating plate. The box includes a bottom plate and a first side plate. The bottom plate defines a clip slot, and the first side plate defines a clasping hole. The separating plate includes a main body, a clipping portion, and a hook. The clipping portion is deformable and engaged in the clasping hole for preventing the separating plate from moving in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the first side plate. The hook is slidably received in the clip slot for preventing the separating plate from moving in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A vending machine has a base, a helical pushing member secured to the first side panel, and a loading member. The loading member is installed within the coils of the helical pushing member and includes a strip on which goods are supported.
