  • Patent number: 4296872
    Abstract: An improved delivery box assembly for a merchandising machine in which a door biased by gravity to a position at which it closes the delivery box opening is adapted to be pushed inwardly to rotate a pair of cranks carrying pins which ride in slots formed in crank arms carried by baffle pivots to rotate the baffle to a position at which it prevents access to the merchandise storage units of the machine before the door has been opened to an appreciable degree. An anti-jam flap prevents an article which is delivered while the door is open from falling into a pocket formed by the pivoted baffle and a stationary baffle thus to prevent jamming of the mechanism as the parts return to their initial position.
