Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0176361A2] A pair of uprights (3, 4) are arranged on opposite sides of a stack of newspapers (5) and support between them a cross member carrying slides (11, 12) which rest on the top of the stack of newspapers and engage the top newspaper of the stack by means of inclined pins (20). Operation of an electric motor (33) initiated by a coin or token inserted at (38) drives a crank (34) in an anti-clockwise direction to the position shown in dotted lines so as to move the uprights to the position shown in dotted lines at (41). This moves the slides (11, 12) to the left so as to cause the top newspaper of the stack to be moved until it falls off the top of the stack as shown at (39), and thence into a vended position at (40) for access through a door (10). The motor (33) continues to rotate so as to return the crank (34) to the full line position and then automatically stops, with the slides (11, 12) in position for vending the next newspaper.
