Abstract
A merchandising machine cabinet and shelf structure in which a pair of channel-shaped rails mounted on the inner sides of the cabinet structure at corresponding heights and extending from front to back of the cabinet with the channels opening inwardly receive respective pairs of spaced wheels mounted on the sides of the shelf to permit the shelf to be moved rectilinearly out of a fully housed home position to an intermediate position at which an element on the shelf engages a pivot adjacent to the front of the cabinet and at which one roller of each pair registers with a slot in the upper wall of the corresponding channel to permit the shelf to be pivoted downwardly to a limit position at which the merchandising units are readily accessible for loading. Interengageable means on the cabinet door and on the front of the shelf ensures that the shelf is moved fully into its home position as the door is closed.
