Abstract
A luggage cart dispensing machine having a vertically oriented rotatable conveyor assembly which defines a path for the movement of the luggage carts, a series of pivotally attached vanes extending from the conveyor assembly, the vanes forming an interlocking engagement with the luggage carts to lift and hold the luggage carts in consecutive alignment, and a vertically oriented stationary bar which cooperates with the conveyor assembly to prevent the lateral release of the luggage carts. The dispensing machine also utilizes a drive mechanism engaged with the conveyor assembly which may be actuated by a coin-operated control or a switch, and is operable in a reversible manner.
