Abstract: A vending machine with an anti-condensation product viewing window. The product viewing window has two window sections. The first window section is typically a wall or portion of a wall of the product storage chamber. A second window section is spaced outwardly a distance from the first window section to form the face of the viewing window. An illumination device is placed between the first and second window section. The heat from the illumination device prevents a build up of condensation on the window sections. Substantially sealing the two window sections further reduces the condensation build up. One or more small openings in the sealings between the two window sections into a cooler area allow for the escape of any moisture which does accumulate between the two window sections. The illumination device can also be used to illuminate the products to be vended, back light a sign on the machine or both.

Abstract: A vending machine with an improved sealing holding bin drawer for removing dispensed products. Products are dispensed from a housing chamber which is maintained at a temperature colder than the environment in which the vending machine operates into a holding bin. The holding bin has a first opening allowing the products from the housing chamber to enter. The holding bin has a second opening covered by a door allowing the user to remove dispensed products from the holding bin. A sealing hood selectively covers and seals the first opening between the holding bin and housing chamber. The door and the sealing hood are operably connected such that the sealing hood covers the first hole when the door is opened. The connection is accomplished utilizing a pin and cam slot arrangement. The holding bin can also have an attached storage bin and can be placed on rollers such that it slides out of the vending machine like a drawer.
