Abstract: A mechanical vending machine with a coin analyzer and a control mechanism for the release of merchandise dispensing devices after the insertion of an appropriate amount in coins, has the control mechanism being coupled to a locking bar of the merchandise dispensing devices and has a slide lock for the locking bar. To make the control mechanism accessible and to disengage it, the coin analyzer and the control mechanism are disposed on a bracket mounted on horizontal tracks of the vending machine so as to be movable from a pushed-in position to a pulled-out position. The bracket has a hinge by means of which it can be pivoted in the pulled-out position about a vertical axis. Disposed on the bracket is a coupling device which couples the control mechanism to the locking bar and to the slide lock in the pushed-in position, and which disengages when moved into the pulled-out position.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a merchandise dispensing device for a vending machine. The device comprises a dispensing part, with a dispensing compartment floor, capable of pivoting from an intake position to a dispensing position. In the dispensing position, the merchandise, capable of rolling, especially bottles or tins, stored in inclined compartments prop by a support arch. A roll-on surface is provided in between the support arch and the dispensing compartment floor, to facilitate a rolling of the merchandise in the intake position, in which the dispensing compartment floor forms an obtuse angle with the roll-on surface and the dispensing compartment floor is wider than the roll-on surface.
