IMBISS-VERKAUFSVORRICHTUNG

A countertop snack vendor in which a drum 20 having a plurality of groups of circumferentially spaced article-receiving compartments 28 is mounted within a cabinet for rotary movement around a generally horizontal axis with the groups disposed respectively behind normally locked elongated transparent doors 48, each of which spans a plurality of compartments of its associated group to afford a potential customer a view of a large number of articles. Each door is freed upon the deposit of money in the vendor for limited movement from a normally closed position to an open position at which a single compartment of the associated group is accessible; a locking mechanism allows opening of only one door to expose only one compartment and disables the drum drive whilst a door is open.
