ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A vending machine antirock mechanism is disclosed which is a safety feature for a soft drink vending machine to prevent rocking of the vending machine. The antirock ratchet mechanism prevents oscillatory rocking of a vending machine by a potential pilferer until a sufficient forward tilt of the machine is attained to possibly allow soft drink products to be pilfered from the machine through the product dispensing chute. A safety problem has been incurred here as the vending machines are very heavy, and can possibly fall on top of and injure the person rocking the machine or other persons in the proximity thereof. The present invention is designed to prevent such rocking motions by mounting an antirock mechanism at one or more locations on the front of the machine, with a vertically movable antirock member therein, such that when the machine is first rocked backwardly, the antirock member moves downward vertically to the floor, and locks in an extended position to prevent the machine from rocking forwardly again. The machine is then jammed in a rearwardly tilted position to prevent oscillatory rocking thereof.
