Abstract (en)

A compact refrigerated dispenser for cooled articles, such as drink cans, comprises a housing (2) having a plurality of pairs of chutes (10,12; 40,42) for storing and dispensing the articles under gravity. The open lower end of each chute opens through a front panel of the housing. The chutes are filled either through a lid (8) in the top of the housing, or a door (48) in the top of the front panel. A lip (18) allows the articles to be withdrawn one at a time. Cooled air from a refrigerator (26) is recirculated over the stack of articles by a fan (28). The dispenser is non-coin operated.
