Abstract
A vending apparatus for use in a hotel to vend a plurality of articles. The problem with current vending apparatus is that theft of articles in such apparatus is high and security devices are expensive. The present apparatus utilizes a low cost and high security system, in which a credit card or monitoring system may be employed.
The vender will actuate a handle (28) to tune an access door (27) to allow removal of a vended article (25). The vended articles (25) are carried into position for vending on a hor-izontal endless convey or belt (35) behind each access door (27) upon return of the handle (28) and its access door (27) to a close position.
