Abstract
An ADA compliant vending machine that raises vended product to a desired height, and specifically to a new and improved vended product delivery mechanism that moves between lowered and raised positions within a delivery bin within a vending machine, in a coordinated manner with the opening and closing of a delivery door, that raises the vended product for delivery to a customer at the desired height, and where front and rear delivery bin walls can be shaped to interlock with conforming shaped front and rear edges of the delivery mechanism to prevent vended product from becoming wedged or stuck there between.
