Description

YYY ₁

The present invention relates to a device for dispensing printed products, in particular newspapers and magazines, with a housing for receiving the printed products, a coin-operated mechanism arranged on the housing and a transport device for bringing a printed product to a dispensing opening of the housing.

A device of the type in question is known, for example, from US 4,273,256, which goes back to the applicant. The device there enables the perfect dispensing of folded or stapled printed products after inserting a coin, whereby the transport of a printed product to the dispensing opening takes place via a rotating device. The housing of the known device is designed in such a way that its base area is at least sufficient to accommodate printed products stacked horizontally on top of one another. The depth dimensions required for this are ideally suited for standing devices.

However, in places with limited space, devices with smaller depth dimensions should be used. In addition to other reasons why installing freestanding devices is not possible or unsuitable, there are also cases in which installing freestanding devices is prohibited by the authorities. In any case, alternative devices that can also be installed on the wall must not exceed a maximum depth of around 28 cm.

The present invention is based on the object of specifying a device of the type in question which requires little space and which in particular has a maximum depth of less than 28 cm. In addition, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, an assessment of the printed product to be purchased should be made possible, in particular in order to guarantee that the device contains at least the printed product that is to be purchased.

The device according to the invention solves the above problem by the features of patent claim 1. According to this, a device of the type in question is designed in such a way that the transport device comprises an inclined lifting platform, so that the printed products can be stacked in an inclined position on the lifting platform.

According to the invention, it has been recognized that the device in question can take up little space, particularly with regard to a small depth dimension, if the device has means in its interior that enable the printed products to be stored in a space-saving manner. It has also been recognized that the depth dimension can be significantly reduced if a lifting platform that is inclined is provided. In this way, the printed products can be stacked at an angle without the otherwise usual support surface of the printed products, which runs parallel to the bottom of the device, playing a role in the depth dimension when stacked horizontally.

A design of the lifting platform has proven to be particularly advantageous with regard to convenient transport of the printed product to the output opening, whereby the area of the lifting platform facing the front of the housing is closer to the bottom of the housing than the area of the lifting platform facing the back. This creates free access to the printed product on top, which enables the use of additional, simply designed transfer or transport means.

The angle of inclination of the lifting platform relative to the base of the housing could be approximately 60°. This angle enables the printed products to be placed securely without the need for complex fastening measures to prevent the printed product from sliding or even tipping over due to the inclination angle being too steep.

To secure the stack, the lifting platform could work together with a support wall provided additionally in the housing of the device to accommodate the printed products. To enable the output of a printed product, it is expedient if the support wall is arranged at a distance from the front of the housing, so that a guide channel is formed to the output opening. In terms of construction, the support wall could be fixed to the bottom of the housing and extend parallel to the front of the device, to such an extent that its upper end ends in the area of the lifting platform facing the front at the maximum travel position.

If a printed product is sold, the stack is reduced in size and loses height. Feeding the next printed product to the output opening requires height compensation by raising the stack to the operating height from which further transport can take place. To do this, the lifting platform is raised by operating an operating lever, which is located on the housing and can be moved into the operating position after a coin has been inserted into the automatic coin mechanism.

The transmission of the operating lever movement could now be carried out by operating a push lever, which in turn raises a movable grid rod, which is connected to the lifting platform via a locking hook. To fix the lifting platform at the desired height, a second, immovable grid rod could be provided, which is arranged next to the movable grid rod and is also connected to the lifting platform via a second locking hook. The lifting platform is held at the raised level by the second locking hook engaging in the fixed grid rod, while the movable grid rod falls back towards the housing base under its own weight when the operating lever returns. -.

The free fall of the movable grid rod could now be advantageously regulated by a height regulator. The height regulator could rest with its upper end on the top printed product of the stack and be connected at its lower end to the movable grid rod. The distance that the movable grid rod can fall downwards is therefore limited by the height regulator to the extent that the height regulator itself could sink downwards to the next printed product due to the loss of the top printed product. Likewise, the distance that the movable grid rod sinks into the effective range of the push lever is limited to the same extent, so that the stack of printed products is raised by the distance that is identical to the previous loss of height during the next sales run, i.e. the next time the control lever is operated. The top printed product is then therefore back at the required operating height. The height adjustment implemented with the previously described embodiment of the device according to the invention works independently and does not require any readjustment when loading the device with thicker or thinner printed products.

The lower end of the height regulator could be angled in order to form a connection with the movable grid rod. The lower end of the movable grid rod could also have an angle that extends from the rear of the housing to the front, where it is connected to the lower end of the height regulator via a bolt. The type of design of the connectable ends of the movable grid rod on the one hand and the height regulator on the other hand, as well as the type of connection, can vary, with the height of the housing of the device according to the invention being important.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, which enables an inspection of the printed product to be purchased, a display window is provided on the front of the housing, above the dispensing opening, in which the printed product to be sold next can be arranged. The printed product to be sold is displayed in the display window with the front page facing outwards, so that the date of issue is visible to the customer. A label on the back of the display window with "Sold out" indicates to the customer that the device is out of order if a printed product is missing. Furthermore, a microphone switch activated by the newspaper on display could be provided, which causes the coin slot to be blocked with a return option if a printed product is missing.

In order to prevent the possible theft of a printed product from the shop window, the shop window could have an upper closing flap and a lower closing flap, which can be opened and closed alternately using the operating lever and a control bar. This could function like a lock, with one flap only opening when the other is already closed. To control the opening and closing process, the control bar, which can be activated using the operating lever, has a slot guide.

So that the printed product lying on top can be transported from the stack to the output opening, the transport device comprises at least one transport slide. With regard to a uniform transport of the printed product, it is advantageous if two transport slides arranged parallel to one another are used, which act on a printed product. Contact with the printed product could be made via

a transport needle can be implemented, whereby in this case two transport needles should be used, as this creates an anti-rotation lock.

The process of moving the topmost printed product is carried out by first lowering the transport needles onto the printed product, whereby the needles penetrate the printed product. The transport slides are then pivoted upwards so that the topmost printed product is removed from the reach of the height regulator and moved upwards towards the higher area of the lifting platform or stack facing the rear of the housing. The removal from the reach of the height regulator takes place by pulling the front folded edge of the printed product out from under the part of the height regulator resting on the printed product until the latter sinks down under its own weight and comes to rest on the next printed product. When the transport slides return and the transport needles are separated from the printed product, the latter is now free and slides down to the output opening due to its own weight and the incline caused by the inclined lifting platform.

With regard to the preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, where a display window is provided, the printed product slides down to the upper closing flap and - when it is opened using the operating lever and control bar - into the display window. Regardless of whether the device is manufactured with a display window or without, the height regulator lowered to the next printed product forms a transport bridge for the uppermost printed product released from the transport needles, which makes the transport path simple and functionally reliable.

Just as the closing flaps of the display window are controlled by a control bar, the movement of the transport slider on the one hand towards the back, on the other hand towards the bottom of the housing of the device according to the invention could also be controlled by a control bar. A control bar expediently fulfills both functions.

There are now various possibilities for designing and developing the teaching of the present invention in an advantageous manner. For this purpose, reference is made, on the one hand, to the claims subordinate to patent claim 1 and, on the other hand, to the following

Fig. 1 to 3 show a device for dispensing printed products, in particular newspapers and magazines, with a housing 1 for receiving the printed products 14, a coin-operated automatic mechanism 64 arranged on the housing 1 and a transport device for transporting a printed product to a dispensing opening 4 of the housing 1. ,

According to the invention, the transport device comprises an inclined lifting platform 15, so that the printed products 14 can be stacked at an angle on the lifting platform 15 to form a stack - here a stack of newspapers 14. The inclined lifting platform 15 can be seen particularly clearly from Figs. 9 and 10. ,

The area of the lifting platform 15 facing the front side 2 of the housing 1, which is designed here as a pivoting door made of sheet steel, is spaced further away from the floor 74 of the housing 1 than the area of the lifting platform 15 facing the rear side 75. The angle of inclination α shown in dashed lines in Fig. 9 between the slanted part of the lifting platform and the floor 74 of the housing 1 is 60° in this embodiment.

From Fig. 1, 2 and 3 it is also clear that the swing door 2 has a display window 3, a niche 5 is incorporated into the swing door 2, which accommodates an operating lever 22. The operating lever 22 works together with the lifting platform 15 (e.g. Fig. 10), so that the stack of newspapers 14 can be raised to an operating height g (Fig. 11), from which the

Transport to the dispensing opening 4 takes place. The operating lever 22 can be operated from the outside after operating the automatic coin mechanism 64 and brought into the operating position.

In the area of the niche 5 there is also a coin return button 6, a coin insertion slot 8, a recess 10 for the locking tab 9 shown in Fig. 30 and the coin return 7. Above the niche 5 there is a security lock 11 for changing the price to preset prices (Sunday/working day). Furthermore, in the upper area of the housing there is a security lock 12 for locking the swing door 2. Fig. 3 also shows the door lock 46 and the limit bars 47 of the device according to the invention.

As can be seen in particular from Figs. 9 to 12, a support wall 13 is provided which interacts with the lifting platform 15 in such a way that the newspaper stack 14 is effectively prevented from slipping out of its inclined position.

The lifting platform 15 is pushed vertically onto the slide rails 17 of the lifting device housing 18 with its slide rails 16 shown in Fig. 4 and 5. The lifting device formed by the housing 18, the movable grid rod 19, the immovable grid rod 20, the insert for the grid rod 21 and the relief spring 35 for the movable grid rod is driven by the operating lever 22 via the thrust lever 43, 44, 45, whereby the thrust lever comprises a thrust lever shaft 43, a thrust lever power arm 44 and a thrust lever load arm. The lifting device is able to raise the lifting platform 15 in conjunction with the locking hooks 29 and 30 of the two adjacent grid rods 19, 20 in stages (due to the teeth) to any height level and to hold it there. On the inside of the swing door 2 shown in Fig. 3, the transport slide system arranged within a housing 49 for transporting the newspaper that is on top at any time and the automatic coin mechanism 64 are also attached.

Figures 4, 5, 9, 10, 20 and 21 show that two grid rods 19, 20 are installed parallel to each other in the housing 18 of the lifting device, of which the right grid rod 20 is fixed and the left grid rod 19 is vertically movable. On the inside of the bent, rear part of the lifting platform 15, two locking hooks 29 and 30 are rotatably mounted in a holder 27, which can be rotated with both their lower and

their upper ends can engage through a recess into the teeth of the grid rods 19, 20.

A rocker arm 31 which is firmly connected to the locking hook shaft 73 and which is connected to the locking hooks 29 and 30 via a tension spring 32 each, enables the locking hooks 29, 30 to be alternately supported upwards or downwards against the locking rods 19, 20 by switching to an upper or lower position. This change is effected by the direction switch 28 via the locking hook shaft arm 33.

The position of the locking hooks 29, 30 shown in Fig. 6 is the one required for the operation of the device. The position shown in Fig. 7 is only required during the filling of a new stack of newspapers 14. The rocker arm crossbar 34 pushes the locking hooks 29, 30 out of their starting positions when switching.

The locking hook 30 serves in conjunction with the immovable grid rod 20 to hold the lifting platform 15 at any raised level. It rests on the grid rod 20 and enables the lifting platform 15 to be gradually moved upwards at the distance of the grid teeth over the entire length of the grid rod 20.

The second locking hook 29 rests on the movable grid rod 19 and pushes the lifting platform 15 upwards when it is raised by the push-pull lever 43, 44, 45. The relief spring 35 serves to reduce the stack load on the locking hooks 29, 30.

According to Fig. 4, 6, 7, 8, when a new stack of newspapers 14 is filled, the two locking hooks 29, 30 are rotated from their operating position to the filling position by means of the direction switch 28. In this position, the lifting platform 15 can be pushed down to any desired height against the resistance of the relief spring 35. The locking hooks 29, 30, which are supported upwards in this position, prevent the lifting platform 15 from being pulled up by the relief spring 35. After the new stack of newspapers 14 has been filled, the locking hooks 29, 30 are rotated back to the operating position and the lifting platform 15 is pushed up until the top newspaper has almost reached the operating height g. The rest distance is bridged by repeatedly lifting the free force arm 44 of the thrust lever 43, 44, 45, which allows for an exact adjustment.

As can be seen from Fig. 9, 10, 20, 21, the step-by-step displacement of the lifting platform 15 from bottom to top is effected by the vertically displaceable grid rod 19, the lower end of which is lowered more or less into the effective range of the thrust lever load arm 45 depending on the height compensation requirement and is lifted upwards by the latter to the required operating height g during the next operating cycle.

For the device to operate properly, it is necessary to maintain an operating height g that is as constant as possible. The height loss caused by the transport of the top newspaper must be compensated for during the next operating sequence. For this, an additional height adjustment is necessary. Regardless of the uniform stroke of the push lever 43, 44, 45, the height adjustment must ensure an individual lifting of the lifting platform 15 that is equivalent to the previous height loss. This is achieved, as shown in Fig. 11, by the height regulator 36, which is operatively connected by means of a bolt 37 to the unwinding 39 located at the lower end of the movable grid rod 19.

By resting on the upper angled part of the height regulator 36, it can only fall down to the next newspaper by the distance of the height loss when the top newspaper is transported. By gripping under the movable grid rod 19 through the lower, also angled part of the height regulator 36, the grid rod 19 is limited to the same distance when it falls down into the area of action of the push lever 43, 44, 45. This means that the raising of the lifting platform 15 during the next operating sequence also remains limited to the same distance and thus a constant operating height g is guaranteed. This height control is automatic and independent of the thickness of the newspapers in question (Sunday/working day). The process described above is illustrated in Figures 27, 28 and 29, whereby a highly simplified schematic diagram was used to explain the process and the reference numbers refer to the function and not necessarily to the actual appearance of the parts. For better understanding, the lifting device and the height control are shown in one part in Figures 27 to 29. Specifically, the relief spring 38 of the height control 36 reduces the pressure load of the height control 36 on the top newspaper in order to ensure that it can be transported effortlessly (see Figures 11, 12).

According to Figs. 1, 2, 9 and 10, the topmost newspaper on the way from the stack of newspapers 14 to the dispensing opening 4 is first fed to an intermediate station in the form of a display window 3, from which the front page with the issue date can be seen by the potential buyer. The newspaper displayed in this way is released during the next operating sequence by opening the lower closing flap 55 to fall into the dispensing opening 4, from which it can be removed. Even in the event of a malfunction in the other areas, the dispensed newspaper can be dispensed by inserting the required coin(s). A breakdown due to a sale or a technical fault is indicated to the buyer by the absence of a newspaper in the shop window 3 and the resulting unobstructed view of the inscription "Sold out" on the back of the shop window 3. From Fig. 3 it can be seen that the shop window 3 has a left side wall 65 and a right side wall 66 as well as a rear wall 67 and a shatter-proof pane 68, with the right side wall 66 carrying the control bar 48.

From Figs. 9, 10 and 26 it can be seen that the display window 3 has an upper closing flap 54 and a lower closing flap 55 and that the closing flaps 54, 55 can be opened and closed alternately using the operating lever 22 and a control bar 48. The closing flaps 54, 55 prevent unauthorized entry into the housing 1 of the device. The alternating opening and closing of the closing flaps 54, 55 takes place in a lock-like manner, i.e. at no time are both closing flaps 54, 55 open at the same time. This also prevents the next newspaper from falling into the display window 3 before the purchased newspaper has been removed and the lower closing flap 55 is already closed again. The control of the alternating opening and closing processes of the two flaps 54 and 55 is carried out by the control bar 48, which is activated by the drive pin 42 when the operating lever 22 is operated (Fig. 24, 25). From Fig. 3, 24, 26 it can be seen that the control bar 48 is mounted on the right-hand side wall 66 of the display window by means of fastening pins 41. A guide contactor 53 is provided for the lower closing flap 55, and a guide contactor 52 is provided for the upper closing flap 54, with the mechanical connection being established by corresponding guide pins 56 (top) and 57 (bottom).

The control bar 48 is also used with regard to the use of two transport slides 58 arranged parallel to one another, which move the newspaper lying at the top in the direction of the output opening 4 or the display window 3. From Fig. 26 it can be seen that the common transport slide shaft 50 engages in a guide slot 51 of the guide bar 48 via guide bolts 69. The transport slide 58 is arranged in a transport slide housing 49 and can be swung out of it - as can be seen particularly from Figs. 16 to 19. The freedom of movement of the transport slide 58 is realized by means of a guide bar 59 which interacts with a guide bar 60 and is connected to the transport slide 58 via a connecting bearing 61, by means of the transport slide shaft 50 and by means of a transport slide guide gate 70. Each transport slide 58 has a needle carrier 62 which is equipped with a transport needle 72. In addition, a support 71 is provided for the transport slide 58 (see Fig. 15). In the operating position, the transport needles 72 can be lowered onto the newspaper lying on top, can be moved towards the rear side 75 of the housing Λ while removing the top newspaper from the reach of the height regulator 36 and can finally be removed from the newspaper transported upwards.

In Fig. 9, 10 and 20 to 26 it is illustrated that the operating lever 22 - after it has been unlocked by inserting a coin - can be swung out against the pressure of a return spring 23 shown in Fig. 30. The reversing lock 63 prevents premature retraction of the operating lever 22 and interacts with a toothing 40 arranged on a stop 26 shown in Fig. 30 and 31. Fig. 31 illustrates the effect of the toothing 40 when the running direction changes, indicated by the arrows. The mechanism of the operating lever 22 also includes a lifting roller 24, which is shown in Fig. 3 . During this process, the load arm 25 of the operating lever 22 pushes the push lever power arm 44 and the control bar 48 upwards and simultaneously causes the newspaper stack 14 to be raised to the desired operating height g, the transport of the top newspaper upwards from under the height regulator 36, the closing of the upper closing flap 54, the emptying of the automatic coin mechanism 64 and the feeding of the collected coins into a cash box. Before operating the operating lever 22, coins that have been inserted can be taken back by pressing the return button 6.

When the control lever 22 is swung back, the thrust lever 43, 44, 45 is lowered to its starting position. The control bar 48 falls under its own weight, if necessary by

The transport slides 58 are swung back into their starting position, supported by spring force, as soon as the sold newspaper has been removed from the device. In this swing-back phase, the transport slides 58 are swung away from the stack of newspapers 14 and back into the transport slide housing 49 in the same way as the sinking control bar 48. The lifting platform 15 is supported on the raised level by means of the locking hook 30 and the height regulator 36 has sunk to the next newspaper. The locking tab (see Fig. 30) of the operating lever 22 is locked again with the automatic coin mechanism 64. The device - if there is no sale - is ready for the next purchase process.

For further features not shown in the figures, reference is made to the general part of the description.

Finally, it should be noted that the teaching according to the invention is not limited to the embodiment discussed above. Rather, other mechanical design variants are possible with regard to the individual components, such as the transport slide, height regulator, or the components of the lifting mechanism.
