Definitions

  • the invention is about a mechanism to supply products placed inside containers whose tops have a protruding rim all the way round forming a lip, a device appliable to coin-operated vending machines, and containers stacked in set columns in these machines.
  • Everybody is familiar with the vending machines located in public places, commercial outlets and many other public service centres; these machines store certain kinds of goods which the consumer can obtain simply by placing the coins which will operate the internal mechanism of the machine, so that it will release the item.
  • these machines we can mention cigarette vending machines, drinks, packets of coins as change for banknotes, and many others which we shall not mention at the moment.
  • vending machines which dispense different kinds of items or products
  • these machines are not designed to dispense products inside containers whose tops have a protruding rim or lip, this container could keep any kind of product, food items, goods or small articles, etc., in order to enable the sale of any product or article kept in the above mentioned type of container.
  • the mechanism of the invention has been devised for this.
  • the said mechanism is appliable to conventional coin-operated vending machines, and its aim is for the machine to supply or dis­pense products kept in a container whose top has a protruding rim, so that these containers are stacked up in piles or columns which are set up inside the machine, so that by introducing the right coins, they will activate conventional devices such as electro­magnets or such like, which activate the mechanism of the invention, thus dispensing the container and, therefore, the product or item inside it, in the same way as, for example, with cigarette or drink vending machines.
  • the mechanism being announced has two pairs of triggers set at the corners of the front rim of the con­tainer, taking it to have a back rim, a front rim and two side rims. These pairs of triggers are mounted in their respective axles which are activated via their respective levers. These levers are swung through respective "U" shape profiles which, linked to a frame, are activated via a lever which in turn is activated through the internal mechanism (electromagnet or similar) of the machine, when this mechanism is activated by coins.
  • Each pair of trigger is devised so that one of the triggers is set at a higher level than the other one, and they are also out of phase in angle.
  • This design permits when these triggers are made to rotate around their mounting axle - a rotation which is only in part and reversible,- that, while one trigger is ho the containers, the other one is releasing or free from the con­tainers, so that the said rotation forces the release of the lower container by the respective trigger, making the other trigger place itself under the next container, thus holding the stacked up pile of containers in that column. Therefore, the triggers act alter­natively each time they are activated, always holding the contai­ners by resting the protruding lip on one or other of the two triggers of each pair.
  • the mechanism is aided, although independently, by the positioning and alignment profiles of the containers, so that they can be properly ejected without any problem.
  • the s device is appliable to coin -operated vending machines (1), in­side which the containers (2) are stacked up in columns, with some front plates (3) which can be tilted, allowing the loading of the containers (2) in the machine.
  • the containers (2) have a protruding rim (4) through which the stacked up packets are retained, until the supply mechanism comes into operation.
  • the said containers (2) are stacked up between a back plate (5) of the vending machine (1) and some tubular side pro­files (6); these profiles are fixed to supporting beams (7).
  • an omega profile (8) has been devised to mark the back position of that column of containers (2), as well as a small positioning ramp (9) for the bottom container of the column of containers, forcing this bottom container into the right position to be dispensed easily, all of this in such a way that in front of the lower part of the said ramp (9) a horizontal pro­file (10) has been devised to hold the back of the container (2) by the lip (4), ready to be dispensed.
  • This profile (10) also supports the beams (7).
  • each pair is in an area corres­ponding to the corners of the containers (2), as can be seen in fig. 2.
  • Each of the said pairs includes two triggers (11) and (12); firmly held in a common axle (13); these triggers (11) and (12) are out of phase in angle and out of phase horizontally with each other, so that trigger (11) is set higher than trigger (12), while the unit is supported on a horizontal plane (14).
  • each pair of triggers (11) and (12) is extended downwards, in order to join, individually, to a lever (15) from which a stub (16) comes out which is set between the side parts of a plane (17) or slotted piece, which is firmly held to a rotating slotted part (18) to which a lever (19) with its axle (20) is linked.
