A vending machine for combined dispensing of articles which are restricted in shape and size only by the narrowest passage within the machine, and for heating and dispensing of ready-to-eat food portions. The vending machine includes a cabinet and a store-closet provided with a number of shelves arranged one above the other for storage of the articles. The shelves end at a distance behind the front of the store-closet to form a lift shaft wherein a carriage is vertically and laterally displaceable for transferring the articles from their respective storage spaces within the storage-closet to a microwave oven which is positioned outside the store-closet but within the cabinet. The bottom of the microwave oven has the shape of a truncated cone, and the oven-lid likewise has the shape of a truncated cone with the same cone angle as the oven bottom whereby scattering of microwave energy in the surroundings is prevented. |
