Abstract: The invention relates to a refrigerator with several cooling compartments (1 to 12), each of which can be closed by a flap (1' to 12'). When a door (30) is manipulated into its closed position, the flaps (1' to 12') are moved into their closed state by the door (30).

Abstract: The invention pertains to a vending system in which a compartment unit (1) with a given number of compartments (2) each of which is provided with a door (4) that can be locked by a locking device is assembled in a room (6) together with a computing unit (3). A presentation device (40) is assigned to the computing unit (3), whereby the presentation unit comprises at least one memory device (42, 49) in which text and/or visual information about the goods offered in designated compartments (2) are stored. The compartment number of the compartment (2) containing the corresponding goods as well as the price of these goods can be assigned to the text and/or visual information.
