Abstract
A ticket dispenser associated with a vending machine for vending goods or services of the type requiring the insertion of coins or tokens of a certain value in order to obtain the goods or services. The ticket dispenser provides for dispensing of a ticket by the machine in addition to the vending of the goods or services with the ticket being redeemable by the user of the machine for something of value in addition to the goods or services received. Ticket feeding pawls are employed for dispensing the tickets at a ticket delivery position, and the pawls are driven by coin operated actuating means of the machine so that the tickets are dispensed only upon insertion of sufficient coins or tokens. The pawls comprise a spring-loaded forward drive and locking pawl, and a spring-loaded retaining pawl. A ticket engaging baffle provides for simplified ticket removal.
