The automatic vending machine has the bottles stored vertically and delivers them vertically. The bottles are stored on shelves (1) that slope toward the back, and they slide under gravity onto a vertical belt (3) which has holders (4) at regular intervals along its length. An electric motor (5) drives the belt, lowering the bottle to an exit chute (6) from where they slide along a sloped guide to the collection point (7). An electric battery (16) provides emergency power in the event of power failure, using an inverter to provide alternating current supply. An electronic communication circuit (9) transmits data via the public telephone network (11) or to a mobile radio-telephone. |
