Abstract
A vending machine includes a tray, at least one partition plate, and a mounting member pivotably attached to the at least one partition plate. The tray includes a base panel, a side panel extending from the base panel, and at least one tab extending from the base panel. A gap is defined in the side panel. The at least one partition plate is pivotably attached to the at least one tab. The mounting member is rotatable between a latched position, where the mounting member is engaged with the gap, and the at least one partition plate is secured in an upright position that is substantially perpendicular to the base panel, and a released position, where the mounting member is disengaged from the gap, and the at least one partition plate is rotatable away from the upright position to enlarge a space beside the at least one partition plate.
