An automated vending machine for vending, accepting returns for, and restocking, vendible products. Vendible products are stored on moveable trays, resting on a shelving system, and are transported within the automated vending machine by a gantry system and dispensing unit. The shelving system and moveable trays can be adjusted to accommodate vendible products of varying shape, size, weight, and durability. The moveable trays are gravity fed forward into position for being coupled with the dispensing unit when selected. A supplementary storage area for restocking products and storing returned products is included.

The invention relates to a wall shelf system having a shelf bracket comprising a rear end for fastening to a wall rail, a front end, and at least one first side wall, and having a guide rail for a shelf element that can be pulled out and comprising a rear end, a front end, and a side wall. Coupling means are provided at the shelf bracket and at the guide rail that correspond to one another and that enable the guide rail to be releasably fastened to the shelf bracket.

A refrigerated case includes an insulated ceiling member defining the top of a refrigerated space, and an end cap defining a front of the insulated ceiling member. The end cap includes an aperture having an opening at a bottom edge of the end cap. A mullion is arranged substantially normal to the insulated ceiling member. A mullion cap defines a front of the mullion and includes a tongue portion extending above the mullion. The tongue portion is arranged to fit within the aperture. The mullion cap and the end cap cooperate to define a first planar sealing surface. A door is pivotably attached to the refrigerated case and includes a second planar sealing surface that is engageable with the first planar sealing surface when the door is in a closed position to define a substantially air tight seal therebetween.

A museum display case with climate control comprises a case bottom, a display space above the case bottom, a shelf inside the display space, and a housing for hygroscopic material facing into the display space below the shelf. The housing includes a housing window open in the case bottom, a housing frame fixed to the case bottom below the housing window, and a tray mounted in the housing frame. The tray is horizontally and vertically movable between a working position where the tray is raised vertically towards the display space at the window and a service position where the tray is at least partly pulled horizontally out of the housing frame.

A flexible merchandising food well display configured for use with a cabinet including a countertop. The food well display includes an upwardly open food well housed within the cabinet and the countertop defines an opening into the food well. The flexible merchandising food well display further includes a height-adjustable shelving system within the food well. The shelving system includes a plurality of shelves, each of which may be individually mounted within the food well at a selectable height such that the shelves may support different containers at different heights within the food well.
