Abstract

Extraction mechanism for automatic vending machines, particularly for machines which sell products contained in cylindrical or prismatic containers (3) stacked in a horizontal position arranged in quincunxes and forming two columns which are contained by two parallel walls (1, 2), with the extraction mechanism consisting of a retainer (4) element on which rests the lowermost container (3). Retainer (4) consists of at least one approximately semicircular element which may revolve about its axis (5) and placed such that its curved segment (6) together with the lower edge (7) of the opposing wall defines a gap narrower than the diameter of containers (3'), while the straight segment (8) defines an outlet gap slightly larger than said diameter so that container (3') may be let out.
