Abstract
A vending machine dispenser mechanism in the form of a roller for receiving and dispensing bottles or cans from a vertical stack. The roller dispensing mechanism comprises a driven roller having a roller support at each end which are supported by horizontally extending front and rear support members each of which include a plurality of spaced apart apertures in which the roller supports are rotatably mounted. The apertures can include keyhole shaped openings in each of the support members, a combination of keyhole and circular openings, or various other aperture shapes and combinations which together permit fast and easy roller installation and removal. The dispensing rollers contain two or more slots or pockets, or sub-pockets, that will sequentially receive and dispense a bottle or can one at a time in a controlled and positive manner as the roller is driven through a plurality of specific degrees of rotation.
