Summary:Abstract A merchandise-dispensing device comprising a product-dispensing coil, an actuator, a locking gear, and a button. The product-dispensing coil is rotatable about a first axis in a product-dispensing direction and in an opposite product-loading direction. The actuator is operably coupled to the product-dispensing coil for rotation about the first axis. The locking gear is rotatable between a first position and a second position and configured to engage the actuator in the second position to inhibit rotation of the actuator in the product-loading direction. The button is operably coupled to the locking gear and configured to rotate the locking gear between the first position and the second position independent of rotation of the actuator about the first axis.
