Zusammenfassung:A coin-operated vending machine for bottles or cans of a moderate capacity, including a plurality of side-by-side storage chutes for feeding bottles or cans to openings in the front wall of the vending machine and a cradle in each of the openings forming a row of adjacent cradles for receiving the bottles or cans from the chutes. A refrigeration system directs chilled air by convection toward the next-to-be-vended cans in each of the cradles. The chilled air is directed by an air foil toward the cradles and the cradles have stand-off ribs therein to permit the free flow of chilled air under and around the next-to-be-vended cans. EL SISTEMA DE REFRIGERACION DESCRITO COMPRENDE UN COMPARTIMENTO ENFRIADOR (15) PARA PRODUCTOS CILINDRICOS (D1...D14), UN EVAPORADOR (18) DENTRO DE DICHO COMPARTIMENTO, UNOS CONDUCTOS EXPENDEDORES (22) PARA ALMACENAR Y ALIMENTAR DICHOS PRODUCTOS CILINDRICOS A LA ABERTURA DE DESCARGA DE UNA MAQUINA EXPENDEDORA, UNA BALDA INFERIOR (24) Y UNA BALDA SUPERIOR (23) EN CADA CONDUCTO, INCLINANDOSE LA BALDA INFERIOR HACIA ABAJO DESDE LA TRASERA DE DICHO COMDUCTO HASTA SU PARTE DELANTERA DE MODO QUE DICHA BALDA DIRIGE AIRE FRIO DEL EVAPORADOR A LA ABERTURA DE DESCARGA, DEFINIENDO AMBAS BALDAS UNA TRAYECTORIA SINUOSA PARA DICHOS PRODUCTOS CILINDRICOS DESDE DICHA BALDA SUPERIOR HASTA LA ABERTURA DE DESCARGA JUNTO A DICHA BALDA INFERIOR, Y UNA HOJA DEFLECTORA DE AIRE (AF) DISPUESTA ENFRENTE DE DICHA BALDA INFERIOR. EL INVENTO ES UTIL EN MAQUINAS EXPENDEDORAS AUTOMATICAS DE BOTELLAS O LATAS, ACCIONADAS POR MONEDAS.
