IVith the p,,trts adjlisted as clescribed, it -,vill beimpossible to operate the machine with aiiy other combination of coins-- except, of course, when one or more pennies 25 or in excess number of nickels are used addi'uionally. This may 1:)est be understood by i-eference to Fi-. 16 -wherein is exhibited the relqtion of the parts wbich obtains when ,i,n attei-npt is made to operate with one or 3o more peiinies, bi-it without the necessary nickel. In this instance, it will be noted that, becalise of the absence of the necessary operative coin, the abutment 84 on the nickel latch is it)effective to withhold tlie latch 61 35 from locking witl-i the cai-riage wben it first comn-icnees tQ rise; iTid, although the penny latch may be ivithhelcl from locking -with the carriage, yet it cannot restrain the action of the nickel latch bec,,tuse of the 40 -kvidenecl -Lipper end 82 of its slot 77 -which permits the lock bar 75 to freely shift latei@ally as requirecl by the movements of the latch member 61. General observations. 45 The present machine embodies a simple assembly of parts ,ill of which are conveniently rnounted o-n one sicle of the partition plat@ ,ind away from the comp,,trtment with50 in the container where the ftrticles to be dis.. pensecl are storecl. In other -words, it is not necessary to bave access to the compartment wherein the mechanism itself is located in order to m,,tke adjustments affecting the 65 coml)ination of coins requisite for operation. It is a feature of advantage in this invention that use is made of two latches each arranc,ed independently of the other, btit either adapted to be controlled by the other 60 udder proper conditions. Eithe'r of these latches may engage the carriage to lock the same aoainst movement except when the per -combination of coins bas first been @'erpoosited. The various parts of the operat65 ing mechanism are, furthermore, conveniently motinted upon the 1)artition pl,,Lte iii a separate compartn-ien'Ll that is not exposed when the colter is ral,,se-J for the replenishment of articles to be dispensecl. As a uliit, the entire opertting mechanism m@ty be re@id- 70 ily witliclraavn from the container in case it is desired to effect any repairs or Idjustments.
