Abstract
A vendor for dispensing suspended product composed of a housing for containing the suspended product to be vended from an opening in the housing, a mechanical coin mechanism mounted on the housing for receiving at least one coil, the mechanical coin mechanism releasing an actuator after receiving the at least one coin, the actuator connected to, and driving, a fixed end of a coil for suspending the product, the coil rotatably mounted in the housing above the opening to rotate about an approximately central axis of the coil, and a free end of the coil for releasing the suspended product.
Claims (12)
1. A vendor comprising a housing for containing a suspended product to be vended from an opening in the housing;
a mechanical coin mechanism mounted on the housing for receiving at least one coin;
the mechanical coin mechanism releasing an actuator after receiving the at least one coin;
the actuator connected to, and driving, a fixed end of a coil for suspending the product, the coil rotatably mounted in the housing above the opening to rotate about an approximately central axis of the coil, and a free end of the coil for releasing the suspended product.
a mechanical coin mechanism mounted on the housing for receiving at least one coin;
the mechanical coin mechanism releasing an actuator after receiving the at least one coin;
the actuator connected to, and driving, a fixed end of a coil for suspending the product, the coil rotatably mounted in the housing above the opening to rotate about an approximately central axis of the coil, and a free end of the coil for releasing the suspended product.
2. The vendor of claim 1 wherein the actuator comprises a rotatable handle of the mechanical coin mechanism and the mechanical coin mechanism releases the rotatable handle to rotate to drive the coil in rotation about the central axis.
3. The vendor of claim 2 wherein a rotational axis of the rotatable handle is offset from the central axis of the coil.
4. The vendor of claim 3 wherein the rotatable handle is connected to the coil by a drive belt.
5. The vendor of claim 1 wherein the coil is oriented in the housing to locate the fixed end above and adjacent the opening, and the free end above and opposite the opening.
6. The vendor of claim 1 further comprising a support for supporting the coil between the fixed end and the free end.
7. The vendor of claim 6 wherein the support engages and supports the coil when the coil deflects from the central axis under weight of the suspended product.
8. The vendor of claim 6 wherein the support comprises a central support located within the coil and oriented approximately parallel to the central axis.
9. The vendor of claim 8 wherein the central support is rotatably mounted within the housing and the fixed end of the coil is affixed to the central support.
10. The vendor of claim 9 wherein the actuator is connected to the central support, the central support transferring the driving torque from the actuator to rotate the coil from the fixed end.
11. A method of vending product, comprising suspending the product from a coil passing through a hole in the product;
rotating the coil about a central axis of rotation until a free end of the coil passes through the hole in the product, allowing the product to fall from the coil to be vended.
rotating the coil about a central axis of rotation until a free end of the coil passes through the hole in the product, allowing the product to fall from the coil to be vended.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein the coil is supported by a central support passing through a middle of the coil and the weight of the product causes the coil to deflect against the central support.
