[Class 27] Articles stored in separate compartments.-The articles are stored in separate sector-shaped compartments d in a fixed annular receptacle c surrounding a tubular part g containing coinmechanism which can be rotated so as to be brought into operative relation with any of the compartments. Each of the compartments is closed by a glass drop-shutter e retained by a sliding bar f having a down turned inner end for engagement by the coin-mechanism. The ends of the bars f are bevelled so that the shutters can be raised into locked engagement with them, after refilling, without opening the apparatus.

A glass cover plate a for the compartments is held in position by a roller q formed in two parts which are locked together. Ice containers t may be placed below the goods compartments. Coin action, mechanical connection.-An inserted coin passes down a shoot i and comes to rest against a lever l ; depression of a plunger m into engagement with the coin tilts the lever l which withdraws the bar f from the shutter e of the adjacent compartment.
