Dispensing compartment, in particular for refrigerating units

In a dispensing compartment for a table-high refrigerating unit accessible only from the removal side, said compartment including a substantial horizontal stand surface extending across the entire width of the compartment and provided for receiving a plurality of identical or similar formed articles, and having lateral guide walls projecting beyond the level of the stand surface as well as a front abutment wall confining the stand surface at the removal side, the improvement wherein

• at least one shiftable rear abutment is provided, extending across the entire width of the stand surface and being shiftable in directions toward and away from the removal side, means for exerting a force on said shiftable rear abutment acting in the direction of the removal side comprising at least one spring engaged at one end thereof with one of the lateral guide walls and at its other end with a loose roll or reversing means, and a tension rope passed about said roll or reversing means in the manner of a tackle, said rope being secured at one end thereof to the respective guide wall with the other end of said rope being passed about a stationary roll or reversing means secured to the guide wall and connected to said shiftable rear abutment;
• wherein the spring is a tension spring which is secured at the end of the guide wall remote from the removal side, while the stationary roll or reversing means and the attachment point of the tension rope are located at the end of the guide wall at the removal side;
• wherein at the rear abutment a second tension rope engages in direction opposite to the first tension rope and wherein the second tension rope passes via a rear stationary roll or reversing means and a second loose roll or reversing means provided at the bearing block to an attachment point located at the rear compartment end.

In a dispensing compartment for a table-high refrigerating unit having an outer pivotable door for each compartment and accessible only from the removal side, said compartment including a substantial horizontal stand surface extending across the entire width of the compartment and provided for receiving a plurality of identical or similar formed articles, and having lateral guide walls projecting beyond the level of the stand surface as well as a front abutment wall confining the stand surface at the removal side, the improvement wherein

• at least one shiftable rear abutment is provided, extending across the entire width of the stand surface and being shiftable in directions toward and away from the removal side, means for exerting a force on said shiftable rear abutment acting in the direction of the removal side comprising at least one spring engaged at one end thereof with one of the lateral guide walls and at its other end with a loose roll or reversing means, and a tension rope passed about said roll or reversing means in the manner of a tackle, said rope being secured at one end thereof to the respective guide wall with the other end of said rope being passed about a stationary roll or reversing means secured to the guide wall and connected to said shiftable rear abutment;
• said door being pivotable open and closed about an axis disposed in the plane of said horizontal stand surface or slightly underneath said plane and at least being arrestable in an open position, wherein the front abutment wall is secured movable to the dispensing compartment and when the outer door is opened follows the pivot movement thereof, and when the outer door is closed returns into its starting position.
