Abstract
A vending machine includes a frame and a dispensing assembly. The frame includes a first rigid coil and a second rigid coil which rotate to dispense goods. The dispensing assembly includes a dispensing, a first mounting member, and a second mounting member. Each of the first and second mounting members is rotatably secured to the frame and each supports a rigid coil of opposite helical twist. The dispensing member can rotate clockwise and anticlockwise. When the dispensing member is rotated clockwise, a pawl and ratchet arrangement on the first mounting member engages to rotate dispensing the first rigid coil, whilst an opposing pawl and ratchet arrangement on the second mounting member simply rides over the teeth of the second mounting member and causes no rotation. When the dispensing member is rotated anticlockwise, the roles are reversed dispensing.
