ARTICLE VENDOR WITH ELEVATOR Abstract of the Disclosure An article vendor, particularly for food products such as sandwiches, salads, lunch platters and dessert items, wherein the articles are stocked on endless belt conveyors extending in rear-to-front direction in a cabinet having a front window for merchandising display of the articles. The conveyors are arranged in tiers one above another and side by side in each tier, and the vendor includes an elevator movable up and down at the front of the conveyors for receiving an article from any one (or more) of the conveyors and transporting it to a delivery station. Upon selection by a purchaser of an article on a particular conveyor, the elevator is raised to the level of the tier which includes the selected conveyor, and that conveyor is indexed forward one step to dispense the forward article therefrom on to the elevator, after which the elevator is lowered to the delivery station. Provision is made for sensing the pres- ence of an article on the elevator at the delivery station and disabling the elevator in response to the sensing means sensing the presence of an article on the elevator at the delivery station whereby the elevator is prevented from being raised to receive another article as long as an ar- ticle remains on the elevator.
