Definitions

  • the invention consists of a method and apparatus for delivering cards or like paper stock fed singly from a stack feeder of the cards to a demand location for dispensing in sequence, in which each card fed from the stack is advanced through a plurality of stages of a conveyor, each stage being independently operable, each stage and all preceding stages and the stack feeder being actuable when no card is present at that stage, the leading stage being also operable to deliver a card on demand, the cards being fed at a higher rate than the dispensing rate.
  • the example embodiment shown in the drawings consists of a dispenser 10 which comprises a feeder 12 and a movable platform or conveyor 14, both mounted on a fixed frame 16.
  • Conveyor 14 consists of three stages 18A, 18B and 18C; stage 18A serving as a demand location for dispensing cards to a subsequent system not shown.
  • stage 18 consists of an upper endless belt unit 20 carried by a pair of rollers 22 and a lower endless belt unit 24 carried by a pair of rollers 26, the belts being spaced one from the other to form a gap 28.
  • belt unit 24 has a plurality of parallel bands 29 but other means such as a vacuum belt could be used.
  • rollers 22 and 26 are mounted on shafts 30 and 32 respectively which are rotatable on frame 16 and are interconnected by axle proximity adjustment screws 32, shaft 30 being movable radially at each end in slots 34 in frame 16 to adjust the width of gap 28.
  • Belts 20 and 24 of stage 18A are chain driven by a drive motor 36A and belts 20 and 24 of stage 18B are chain driven in the same manner by a drive motor 36B.
  • Belts 20 and 24 of stage 18C are driven through a gear train 38 from a chain drive 36C which operates an endless movable feeder platform 40 of feeder 12.
  • Each stage 18 has a photoelectric unit 42 bridging gap 28 between belts 20 and 24 adjacent the forward end of the stage and each photocell unit is electrically connected independently to its associated drive motor 36 of the same stage as seen in Figure 4 of the drawings.
  • Drive motors 36A, 36B and 36C are electrically interconnected whereby drive motors 36B and 36C are slaves to drive motor 36A and drive motor 36C is also slave to drive motor 36B.
  • Feeder 12 consists of movable feeder platform 40 and a rotatable friction wheel 44 mounted on frame 16 above the platform with a gap 46 therebetween.
  • a guide bar 48 mounted on a forwardly projecting plate 50, is located above platform 40 and tangential to friction wheel 44 and an adjustable retainer bracket 52, spaced behind guide bar 48, is also mounted on frame 16.
  • a stack 60 of cards is placed between guide bar 48 and retainer bracket 52 to rest on platform 40.
  • the bottom or first card 62 in stack 60 advances through gap 46 and into gap 28 of stage 18C of conveyor 14, followed at a uniformly predetermined distance by the second and subsequent cards in the stack, as seen in Figure 3 of the drawings.
  • an additional card 62 is shown between photocell units 42A and 42B and also between units 42B and 42C but this has no effect on the operation of the device, merely providing additional cards for the demand location.
  • card used herein includes any flat paper stock or like products.
