Abstract

The equipment includes a vertical guide tube (1) with an inlet (G) for the insertion of cups, and a waste bin in which they are received. The cup passes detection bars (IR1-3) to monitor its passage through the chute, which is used for collection of cups after vending of drinks. The collection equipment comprises a guide tube (1) which is mounted vertically, or nearly vertical with an inlet (G) for the insertion of cups, and a waste bin in which they are received. The tube is of a diameter to ensure that the cup is guided down in the upright position, falling into the waste bin at the bottom. The cup includes an invisible marking, formed with an ink which is not seen under normal white light, but may be detected under IR light. The cup passes a first detection bar (IR1) near to the inlet (G), and then passes a light transmitting source (LL) and a light detector (LD) so that its passage can be read. the cup finally reaches two further detectors (IR2 and IR3) near to the bottom of the chute. A pivoting finger (D) controls the access to the tube just beneath the inlet (G).
