Hmmm.... those machines are usually about half-full... And they have 1.
a slot to put coins in, 2. a handle to turn and 3. an opening where the
actual gum balls come out. Something like this:

Small, round model (as seen in American films):

             o 
         .od888bo.
        /         \

jgs/VK  |  |(/)|  |
        |  |[_]|  |
       (`--.___.--')
        `-._____.-' 


Straight, double model (as seen outside Swedish shops):

Ah, yes. Currently, that is the most common model here in Canada
(close to the United States) as well, although we also see round
models. The small ones used to appear on counter tops, but that indeed
was in a bygone era.

Hm, I don't like the look of the 'globe', what about

            .o. 
         .'     `.
        /   ..    \
       |oooO::::.Oo|

         | | | | | 
jgs/VK   | |(/)| | 
         | |[_]| | 
         `-.___.-'  

Well, what do we have here? A parking meter:
            .-. 
         .' ... `.
        / ,'.. /. \
       |o  '  /`  o|

Anyway ...

[snipped the nice rectangular models which are what we have in Germany too]

The type I was trying to draw has a characteristic little "hat" at the
top of the round container:

And while I'm at it, here's a straight model (without "legs"):
