  "APPREIL DE DISTRIBUTION AUTOMATIQUE D'ESSENCE POUR BRIQUET A 
PREPAIEMENT". 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 



   La présente invention est relative à un appareil de distri- bution automatique d'essence pour briquet à prépaiement. 



   Suivant l'invention, cet appareil comprend un réservoir d'e sence, un godet de capacité prédéterminée, un tuyau pour amener de l'essence du réservoir au godet, des moyens pour vider le con tenu du godet susdit, un tuyau d'évacuation pour recueillir le contenu du godet, des moyens pour couper la communication entre le réservoir-et le godet pendant la vidange de ce dernier, et des moyens pour amener une pièce de monnaie dans une position telle qu'elle permette la manoeuvre des moyens de vidange du go- det précité. 



   Suivant une forme d'exécution particulière de l'invention, l'appareil comprend un réservoir d'essence, un robinet compre- nant une carotte, dans laquelle est ménagé un passage, un tuyau pour amener de l'essence, par simple gravité, du réservoir dans le passage susdit, un bras solidaire à une extrémité de la carot te susdite et articulé, au voisinage de son autre extrémité, à une extrémité d'une biellette, dont l'autre extrémité est   artic   lée à un levier de manoeuvre, qui par abaissement fait tourner la carotte précitée et vide le passage ménagé dans la dite carot te de son contenu, une butée empêchant normalement l'abaissement du levier de manoeuvre, un tuyau d'évacuation raccordé au robi- net susdit et servant à recueillir l'essence contenue dans le passage précité,

   la communication entre le passage et le réser- voir susdit étant coupée, lorsque ce passage communique avec le tuyau d'évacuation susdit, et une goulotte pour amener une pièce de monnaie sous un ergot porté par le levier de manoeuvre préci- té, à l'entrée de l'intervalle ménagé entre une pièce fixe et une pièce mobile portant la butée précitée et sollicitée en per- manence dans une position pour laquelle la butée   empâhe   l'abais- sement du levier de manoeuvre, l'ergot précité agissant, lors de l'abaissement du levier, sur la pièce de monnaie, de telle sorte que cette dernière, en s'enfonçant dans l'intervalle entre la 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 3> 

 pièce fixe et la pièce mobile,

  déplace la dite pièce mobile et écarte la butée portée par cette dernière du trajet du levier en permettant ainsi l'abaissement complet de ce dernier et, par conséquent, la vidange du passage susdit, une fente étant   ména   gée dans la pièce mobile précitée pour permettre à l'ergot d'a- gir sur la pièce de monnaie jusqu'à ce que cette dernière puisse quitter l'intervalle entre la pièce fixe et la pièce mobile. 



   D'autres particularités et détails de l'invention apparaî- tront au cours de la description suivante des dessins annexés au présent mémoire, qui représentent schématiquement, et à titre d'exemple seulement, une forme d'exécution d'un appareil suivant l'invention. 



   Dans ces dessins : - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de l'appareil; - les figures 2 et 3 sont des coupes du robinet doseur, ret pectivement en position de remplissage et en position de vidange et - les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues en élévation du mécani de déblocage, à l'intervention d'une pièce de monnaie, du levier de manoeuvre de l'appareil. 



   Dans ces différentes figures, les mêmes notations de réfé- rence désignent des éléments identiques. 



   L'appareil représenté à la figure 1 comporte un réservoir 2, muni d'un bouchon moleté 3 et porté par des montants 4 et 5 solidaires d'une plaque de support 6, qui peut, par exemple, constituer la partie supérieure d'une boîte (non représentée) dans laquelle sont recueillies les pièces de monnaie. Les mon- tants 4 et 5 sont constitués par des fers-cornières, dont les ai les 7 et 8 sont soudées, à leur partie supérieure, aux côtés du réservoir 2. 



   Un tuyau 9 relie le réservoir 2 à un robinet désigné dans son ensemble par la notation de référence 10. A ce robinet 10 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 4> 

 aboutissent, d'une part, un tuyau d'évacuation 11 et, d'autre part, un tuyau 12, dont l'autre extrémité aboutit vers la partie supérieure du réservoir 2. Le robinet 10 comprend une carotte ou boisseau conique 13, dont est solidaire un bras 14 attaché, à son extrémité libre, à un ressort de rappel 15, accroché au réservoir 2. Le ressort 15 tend constamment à maintenir la ca- rotte 13 du robinet 10, dans une position déterminée. 



   Au bras 14 est articulée une biellette 16 reliant le bras 14 à un levier 17 de manoeuvre de l'appareil. A une de ses ex- trémités, le levier 17 est monté à pivotement dans une pièce en U 18 fixée à l'aile 7 du montant 4, tandis qu'à son extrémité libre, le dit levier 17 porte un bouton-poussoir 19. Le levier 17 est également muni latéralement d'un ergot 28, dont la fonc- tion sera expliquée plus loin. 



   Le levier 17 peut osciller dans une fente 20 ménagée dans l'aile 8 du montant 5. Les extrémités de cette fente 20 délimi- tent l'amplitude du mouvement de basculement du levier 17. Grâ- ce au ressort 15, le levier 17 est constamment sollicité contre l'extrémité supérieure de la fente 20, en sorte que, lorsque l'appareil est au repos, la carotte 13 du robinet 10, reliée au dit levier 17 par l'intermédiaire du bras 14 et de la biellette 16, est maintenue dans une position déterminée. 



   La biellette 16 porte une lame 21, dont l'extrémité libre est reliée, par l'intermédiaire d'un crochet 22, à un bras 23 d'un dispositif de comptage 24, sur lequel est indiqué le nombre de distributions effectuées par l'appareil. Ce dispositif de comptage est suspendu par une patte 29 au réservoir 2. 



   Comme le montrent les figures 2 et 3, une cavité 25 est mé- nagée dans la carotte 13 du robinet 10. Un petit passage 26 re- lie le fond de la cavité 25 à la périphérie de la carotte 13. 



   A la figure 2, la carotte 13 est représentée dans la posi- tion qu'elle occupe, lorsque l'appareil est au repos, c'est-à- dire lorsque le levier 17 prend appui contre l'extrémité supé- 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 5> 

 rieure de la fente 20. Comme on le voit, la communication est alors établie entre la cavité 25 et le tuyau 9, en sorte que l'essence contenue dans le réservoir 2 peut s'écouler, par   sim-   ple gravité, dans la cavité 25 jusqu'à ce que celle-ci soit rem- plie. La capacité de la cavité 25 correspond à la quantité nor- male d'essence requise pour recharger un briquet de type courant 
A la figure 3, la carotte 13 du robinet 10 est représentée dans la position qu'elle occupe, lors de la vidange de la cavité 25. A ce moment, le passage 26 met le fond de la cavité 25 en communication avec le tuyau d'évacuation 11.

   Comme le montre clairement la figure 3, aucune communication n'est établie, pen- dant la vidange de la cavité 25, entre celle-ci et le réservoir 2. 



   L'appareil représenté à la figure 1 comporte, en outre, une goulotte plate 27 attachée au montant 5 de l'appareil. Sous cet te goulotte se trouve le mécanisme permettant le déblocage du le vier 17 à l'intervention d'une pièce de monnaie. Ce mécanisme est représenté, de façon détaillée, aux figures 4 et 5 et sera décrit à présent. 



   Le mécanisme de déblocage comprend une pièce de support 30 fixée à la plaque 6. Contre la pièce 30 est appliquée un plat fixe 31, dont l'extrémité supérieure est légèrement incurvée vers l'extérieur, de façon à assurer que les pièces de monnaie, arrivant par la goulotte 27 soient bien recueillies par le méca- nisme de déblocage. Devant le plat 31 se trouve une pièce mobi- le 32 articulée en 33 par rapport à la pièce fixe 30. Un   resso   43 sollicite en permanence la pièce mobile 32 dans le sens de la flèche X. Toutefois, le déplacement dans ce sens est limité par le fait qu'une broche 34 portée par la dite pièce mobile 32 tra- verse une fente ou encoche 35 ménagée dans la pièce 31 et prend appui contre le fond de la dite encoche, sous l'action du   ressor   43. 



   La pièce mobile 32 présente une encoche latérale 36, qui 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 6> 

 constitue la butée empêchant normalement l'abaissement complet du levier 17 et, dès lors, l'évacuation par le tuyau 11 de l'es- sence contenue dans la cavité 25 du boisseau 13 du robinet. De plus, la pièce mobile comporte également une fente antérieure 37, ainsi qu'un rebord latéral 38 s'étendant sensiblement depuis la partie supérieure de la pièce mobile 32 jusqu'au niveau de la broche 34. Quant à la pièce fixe 31, elle comporte un rebord latéral 39 symétrique au rebord 38 de la pièce mobile 32, mais beaucoup plus court que ce rebord 38, de façon que la pièce de monnaie 42 poussée dans l'intervalle entre les pièces 31 et 32 puisse quitter cet intervalle en passant sous le rebord 39.

   La pièce de monnaie libérée du mécanisme de déblocage décrit ci-a- vant tombe sous la plaque de support 6 par une fente ménagée   flan,   celle-ci. Un profilé métallique 40, fixé à la dite plaque de support 6, oblige la pièce de monnaie à tomber dans la fente men tionnée en dernier lieu. 



   Le fonctionnement de l'appareil décrit ci-dessus est le sui vant. 



   Une pièce de monnaie est introduite dans la goulotte 27 par son ouverture 41. Cette pièce de monnaie est recueillie, sous la goulotte 27, à l'entrée de l'intervalle ménagé entre les piè- ces 31 et 32. On abaisse alors le levier 17 en agissant sur le bouton-poussoir 19. L'ergot 28 porté par le levier 17 vient alors exercer sur la pièce de monnaie une poussée telle que cet- te pièce s'enfonce dans l'intervalle entre les pièces 31 et 32, en faisant basculer la pièce 32 en sens inverse de la flèche X, en sorte que l'encoche latérale 36 de la dite pièce 32 s'écarte du trajet du levier 17 et permet l'abaissement de ce dernier jus- qu'à ce qu'il vienne heurter l'extrémité inférieure de la fente 20.

   Grâce à la fente 37 prévue dans la pièce mobile 32, l'ergot 28 porté par le levier 17 peut continuer à faire descendre la pièce de monnaie, jusqu'à ce que celle-ci puisse s'échapper laté- ralement en passant sous le rebord 39. 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 7> 

 



   Pendant l'abaissement du levier 17, la carotte 13 du robi- net 10 est animée d'une rotation dont l'amplitude est telle que, lorsque le levier 17 est dans sa position de complet abaissement le passage 26 établit la communication entre la cavité 25 de la carotte du robinet et le tuyau d'évacuation 11, ce qui permet l'écoulement dans ce dernier d'une quantité prédéterminée d'es- sence, que l'on recueille, dans un briquet ou autre allumeur à essence, à l'extrémité du tuyau d'évacuation 11. 



   Lorsque l'écoulement d'essence a pris fin, on lâche le le- vier 17 et celui-ci revient, grâce au ressort de rappel 15, dans sa position originelle. 



   Il est évident que l'invention n'est pas exclusivement li- mitée à la forme d'exécution représentée et que bien des modifi- cations peuvent être apportées dans la forme, la disposition et la constitution de certains des éléments intervenant dans sa réa lisation, à condition que ces modifications ne soient pas en con tradiction avec l'objet de chacune des revendications suivantes.

  "AUTOMATIC GASOLINE DISTRIBUTION UNIT FOR LIGHTER A
PREPAYMENT ".

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 



   The present invention relates to an apparatus for the automatic dispensing of gasoline for a coin-operated lighter.



   According to the invention, this apparatus comprises an gasoline tank, a bucket of predetermined capacity, a pipe for bringing gasoline from the reservoir to the bucket, means for emptying the contents of the aforesaid bucket, an evacuation pipe for collecting the contents of the bucket, means for cutting off the communication between the reservoir and the bucket during the emptying of the latter, and means for bringing a coin into a position such as to allow the operation of the emptying means of the aforementioned go- det.



   According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the apparatus comprises a petrol tank, a valve comprising a core, in which a passage is made, a pipe for supplying petrol, by simple gravity, of the reservoir in the aforesaid passage, an arm secured to one end of the aforesaid core and articulated, in the vicinity of its other end, to one end of a rod, the other end of which is articulated to an operating lever, which by lowering rotates the aforementioned core and empties the passage made in said core of its contents, a stop normally preventing the lowering of the operating lever, an evacuation pipe connected to the aforesaid tap and serving to collect the 'essence contained in the aforementioned passage,

   the communication between the passage and the aforesaid tank being cut off, when this passage communicates with the aforesaid discharge pipe, and a chute for bringing a coin under a pin carried by the aforementioned operating lever, to the 'entry of the gap formed between a fixed part and a movable part carrying the aforementioned stopper and permanently urged in a position for which the stopper prevents the lowering of the operating lever, the aforementioned lug acting, when of the lowering of the lever, on the coin, so that the latter, by sinking into the interval between the

 <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

 fixed part and moving part,

  moves said movable part and moves the stop carried by the latter away from the path of the lever, thus allowing the complete lowering of the latter and, consequently, the emptying of the aforesaid passage, a slot being formed in the aforementioned movable part to allow to the lug of action on the coin until the latter can leave the gap between the fixed coin and the moving coin.



   Other features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the drawings appended hereto, which represent schematically, and by way of example only, one embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention. invention.



   In these drawings: - Figure 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus; - Figures 2 and 3 are cross-sections of the metering valve, respectively in the filling position and in the emptying position and - Figures 4 and 5 are elevational views of the unlocking mechanism, with the intervention of a part of change, from the device's operating lever.



   In these different figures, the same reference notations designate identical elements.



   The apparatus shown in Figure 1 comprises a reservoir 2, provided with a knurled cap 3 and carried by uprights 4 and 5 integral with a support plate 6, which may, for example, constitute the upper part of a box (not shown) in which the coins are collected. The uprights 4 and 5 are formed by angle irons, of which the ai the 7 and 8 are welded, at their upper part, to the sides of the tank 2.



   A pipe 9 connects the tank 2 to a valve designated as a whole by the reference notation 10. To this valve 10

 <Desc / Clms Page number 4>

 end, on the one hand, an evacuation pipe 11 and, on the other hand, a pipe 12, the other end of which ends in the upper part of the tank 2. The valve 10 comprises a core or conical plug 13, of which is integral with an arm 14 attached, at its free end, to a return spring 15, hooked to the reservoir 2. The spring 15 constantly tends to maintain the housing 13 of the valve 10, in a determined position.



   To the arm 14 is articulated a link 16 connecting the arm 14 to a lever 17 for operating the device. At one of its ends, the lever 17 is pivotally mounted in a U-shaped part 18 fixed to the wing 7 of the upright 4, while at its free end, said lever 17 carries a push-button 19. The lever 17 is also provided laterally with a lug 28, the function of which will be explained below.



   The lever 17 can oscillate in a slot 20 made in the flange 8 of the upright 5. The ends of this slot 20 define the amplitude of the tilting movement of the lever 17. Thanks to the spring 15, the lever 17 is constantly urged against the upper end of the slot 20, so that, when the device is at rest, the sprue 13 of the valve 10, connected to said lever 17 by means of the arm 14 and the rod 16, is maintained in a determined position.



   The rod 16 carries a blade 21, the free end of which is connected, by means of a hook 22, to an arm 23 of a counting device 24, on which is indicated the number of distributions made by the apparatus. This counting device is suspended by a tab 29 from the reservoir 2.



   As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a cavity 25 is formed in the core 13 of the tap 10. A small passage 26 connects the bottom of the cavity 25 to the periphery of the core 13.



   In FIG. 2, the core 13 is shown in the position which it occupies, when the apparatus is at rest, that is to say when the lever 17 bears against the upper end.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 5>

 of the slot 20. As can be seen, communication is then established between the cavity 25 and the pipe 9, so that the gasoline contained in the tank 2 can flow, by simple gravity, into the cavity. 25 until it is full. The capacity of cavity 25 corresponds to the normal quantity of gasoline required to refill a standard lighter.
In Figure 3, the core 13 of the valve 10 is shown in the position it occupies, when emptying the cavity 25. At this time, the passage 26 puts the bottom of the cavity 25 in communication with the pipe d 'evacuation 11.

   As clearly shown in FIG. 3, no communication is established, during the emptying of the cavity 25, between the latter and the reservoir 2.



   The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 further comprises a flat chute 27 attached to the post 5 of the apparatus. Under this chute is the mechanism allowing the release of the lever 17 with the intervention of a coin. This mechanism is shown in detail in Figures 4 and 5 and will now be described.



   The unlocking mechanism comprises a support piece 30 fixed to the plate 6. Against the piece 30 is applied a fixed plate 31, the upper end of which is slightly curved outwards, so as to ensure that the coins, arriving through the chute 27 are well collected by the release mechanism. In front of the flat 31 there is a movable part 32 articulated at 33 relative to the fixed part 30. A spring 43 permanently urges the movable part 32 in the direction of arrow X. However, movement in this direction is limited. in that a pin 34 carried by said movable part 32 passes through a slot or notch 35 made in part 31 and bears against the bottom of said notch, under the action of spring 43.



   The movable part 32 has a lateral notch 36, which

 <Desc / Clms Page number 6>

 constitutes the stop normally preventing the complete lowering of the lever 17 and, consequently, the evacuation through the pipe 11 of the gasoline contained in the cavity 25 of the plug 13 of the valve. In addition, the movable part also comprises a front slot 37, as well as a lateral flange 38 extending substantially from the upper part of the movable part 32 to the level of the spindle 34. As for the fixed part 31, it has a side rim 39 symmetrical to the rim 38 of the moving part 32, but much shorter than this rim 38, so that the coin 42 pushed into the gap between the coins 31 and 32 can leave this gap by passing under the ledge 39.

   The coin released from the unlocking mechanism described above falls under the support plate 6 through a slot formed on the blank, the latter. A metal profile 40, fixed to said support plate 6, forces the coin to fall into the slot mentioned last.



   The operation of the apparatus described above is as follows.



   A coin is introduced into the chute 27 through its opening 41. This coin is collected, under the chute 27, at the entrance to the gap formed between the parts 31 and 32. The lever is then lowered. 17 by acting on the push-button 19. The lug 28 carried by the lever 17 then exerts on the coin a thrust such that this coin sinks into the gap between the coins 31 and 32, in tilting the part 32 in the opposite direction to the arrow X, so that the lateral notch 36 of said part 32 moves away from the path of the lever 17 and allows the latter to be lowered until it hits the lower end of the slot 20.

   Thanks to the slot 37 provided in the moving part 32, the lug 28 carried by the lever 17 can continue to lower the coin, until the latter can escape laterally passing under the ledge 39.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 7>

 



   During the lowering of the lever 17, the sprue 13 of the valve 10 is driven by a rotation whose amplitude is such that, when the lever 17 is in its fully lowered position, the passage 26 establishes communication between the cavity. 25 of the tap core and the discharge pipe 11, which allows a predetermined quantity of gasoline to flow into the latter, which is collected in a lighter or other gasoline igniter. the end of the drain hose 11.



   When the flow of gasoline has ended, the lever 17 is released and the latter returns, thanks to the return spring 15, to its original position.



   It is obvious that the invention is not exclusively limited to the embodiment shown and that many modifications can be made in the form, the arrangement and the constitution of some of the elements involved in its realization. , provided that such modifications are not in conflict with the object of each of the following claims.
