Abstract: An ice cream vending machine serves a customer with ice cream maintained in an optimum state by preventing supply of ice cream at a greater temperature. The ice cream vending machine includes a cooling system, a freezing chamber cooled by the cooling system, a canister arranged within the freezing chamber for holding a bead type ice cream, a cup supplying device arranged outside of the freezing chamber, for supplying a cup for holding the bead type ice cream, an ice cream discharging device for discharging the bead type ice cream from the canister, and a conveyor for conveying the cup supplied by the cup supplying device, the cup being conveyed between a location to where the cup is supplied by the cup supporting device to a location where the ice cream is discharged from the freezing chamber. The cup-conveyor may convey the cup either along a horizontal plane or in both a horizontal and a vertical direction.
