Patent
CA 2313508
A coin operated vending machine is disclosed for individual golf balls or similarly sized product. The machine includes a rotating carousel for holding stacks of product within a housing with an enclosed main display compartment and a slide assembly for dispensing product from the carousel into a dispensing area. The carousel includes a plurality of vertical guides for containing a stacked array of individual golf ball units therein and is rotatably supported within the main display compartment such that each of the guides is selectively positional in vertical alignment over a drop hole below the slide assembly. The drop hole is sized and configured to receive an individual, lowermost product unit dropped from the aligned guide. A coin released lock mechanism, structured to accept a predetermined size and number of coins, releases the slide assembly for inward movement to an extended position which causes the individual golf ball products within the drop hole to be carried from below the aligned guide to a drop chute where it is deposited thereon and dispensed to the user. 12
