This invention involves an adjustable divider for vending machine helix discharge units. The units are used to store and dispense packaged objects such as chip products, candy, mints, chewing gum, candy bars, cigarettes, cigars, etc. The unit basically comprises a large rotatable helix dispensing spindle having a central divider within the convolutions of the helix which can be adjusted from horizontal to vertical and which divides the helix into separate side by side compartments. The size of the compartments is determined by the position of the center divider, the two compartments being largest when the divider is vertical and smallest when it is horizontal. The compartments are varied in size to accommodate different size packages.
