Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vending machine for newspapers or magazines with multiple choices.
  • Newspaper distribution is generally carried out through four separate channels.
  • this is home delivery, according to which a courier deposits the daily newspaper that is the subject of the subscription in the mailbox of each subscriber's house each morning.
  • the second concerns the postal distribution made by the administrative services and the employees of the post office.
  • the third covers all commercial distribution through points of sale, whether kiosks in public places: stations, squares, squares ... or whether shops, boutiques or specialized departments in the press: bookshops, press houses, specialized departments of hypermarkets ...
  • the fourth way concerns the automatic distribution of newspapers and magazines.
  • a vending machine is in the general form of a cabinet capable of automatically delivering to a receptacle a copy of the newspaper that a buyer has selected and paid for in a payment device incorporated in the vending machine.
  • the different newspapers are stored by title in stacks on shelves inside the machine.
  • An exhaust assembly rests on each stack. It allows pushing the logs from the stack one after the other, accompanying the top log which slides out of the stack by leaning on the log below without driving the following logs, and directing the log to a hopper vertical followed by a chimney corridor guiding it to a receptacle accessible to the applicant.
  • FR-A-2 089 943 and FR-A-2 081 975 describe apparatuses in the form of cupboards for the distribution of newspapers, of which the lower part of the cupboard is occupied by the space of reception of the newspapers or any other document sold or distributed using these devices. This results in a significant loss of space or volume which is commercially unusable.
  • the output level therefore the gripping of the newspaper or document by its buyer, being located in the lower part of the device, that is to say near the ground level, the buyer is obliged to bend down to take your purchase, so that certain categories of buyers, such as the physically handicapped and the elderly, may have difficulty accessing it.
  • the problem with the present invention is to use the lower space of the cabinet, while allowing a level of output of newspapers or other documents further from the ground, so that the space lost in the devices known to date can be profitable commercially and that, due to the positioning of the outlet for newspapers or other documents at a level further from the ground, buyers experience better comfort.
  • the present invention relates to a newspaper vending machine using a plurality of functional units called sets or evacuation organs, a copy of which will be described below in detail with reference to FIGS. 15 to 28.
  • the evacuation assembly in general, shown in FIG. 15, has the essential function of coming into grip contact with a first newspaper 1 of a stack 2 of newspapers, for example by gripping it, then slide over the immediately lower newspaper 3 to a transverse edge 4 of the stack, without creasing or damaging it, and without causing the following newspapers. It then forces it into angular deviation by accompanying it in its rounded curvature from the edge 4 of the stack 2 to cross it before releasing it for its fall against and along a deflector 5 towards and up to a receptacle. The evacuation assembly then returns to the initial position.
  • the essential means represented in FIG. 15 show an electro-mechanical actuator 6 disposed horizontally and fixed from the rear on a slide 7 actuator carrier which can move vertically along two vertical slides not shown in FIG. 15.
  • the cylinder 6 is preferably of the electromechanical type, for example such as that described below.
  • the motor nut 10 has two lateral outlets on each of which is fixed an axis transverse 11 or 12 shoe holder extending perpendicularly through two slots 13 and 14 or longitudinal lateral slots that the body 8 comprises to allow the travel of the engine nut 10 fitted with its axes.
  • the tubular body 8 has at its front end a longitudinal opening or recess downwards in the form of a notch 15 used, as will be seen below, for the release of the end of the newspaper.
  • the central screw 9 is coupled by any means suitable for an electric motor 16 by its output shaft 17 preferably placed inside the body 8 and at its rear end.
  • the central screw 9 and motor 16 assembly makes it possible to drive the motor nut 10 in a horizontal back-and-forth movement between two limit switches or proximity detectors 18 and 19 fixed, on the one hand on a bearing plug 20 at the end of the body, and on the other hand on a coupling ring 21 on the side of the electric motor 16.
  • the central screw 9 carries at its ends on the bearing plug 20 on the one hand, and on the coupling ring 21 on the other hand.
  • the bearing plug 20 and the coupling ring 21 are made of self-lubricating material, and each provided on their front with an O-ring 22 or 23 acting as a shock absorber.
  • the coupling can also be carried out simply by a socket which joins the adjacent end of the central screw 9 and the output shaft 17 of the motor 16.
  • the coupling ring 21 only plays a role of maintenance of the damper O-ring 22 or 23.
  • Each axis 11 or 12 pad holder carries, with free pivoting, at its end a pad 24 or 25 movable.
  • each shoe 24 or 25 has a general parallelepiped shape with a rectangular trapezoid profile.
  • the front face 26 is flat while the rear part is bevel shaped, providing it a nose shape 27 placed in the upper part and directed towards the rear of the stack 2 of newspapers.
  • Each shoe has on the underside a main support base 28, planar and substantially rectangular, and a rolling base 29 also planar and substantially rectangular.
  • This rolling base is inclined upward in continuation of the main base when the shoe rests on a surface by its support base. It constitutes the rear front of the skate body.
  • Each skate has rolling means at each end of its rolling surface 29.
  • each shoe 24 or 25 has on its rear front a slot 30 crossed by an axis of rotation 31 for the passage and mounting of a rear roller 32, and in the lower part of the shoe a middle roller 33 mounted for rotation running on a tilting axis 34 parallel to the shoe holder axis 11 or 12 transverse to the body of the shoe and offset longitudinally from the shoe holder axis by a distance "D".
  • Each shoe 24 or 25 has four gripping or gripping elements such as 35, for example two front claws such as 36 and two rear claws such as 37, in the form of oblique needles directed towards the front of the shoe each mounted in an oblique groove such as 38 that each of the side faces of the body of each shoe has.
  • the front and rear hands will have the same references 36 and 37. They are immobilized in these grooves at a predetermined length beyond the plane of the bearing face by a preferably adjustable locking means, that is to say allowing to modify the protruding length.
  • This locking means is, in the embodiment shown in the figures, constituted by a screw and a support washer 39 forcing and laterally wedging the needle at the bottom of the groove.
  • the direction of the grooves 38 is tilted forward so as to provide the needles with an effective grip for log training.
  • the washers 39 slightly protrude from the support base 28, so that the general support of the pad on the log is effected by means of these washers.
  • the evacuation assembly also comprises at the rear of the body of the jack a press block 40, for example flat and rectangular, freely mounted at the rear of the body of the jack and maintained in the lateral position.
  • the press block 40 carries, on the one hand on its upper part a bridge of abutment-twinning 41, and on the other hand on its lower part two lateral support rollers such as 42, whose axes of rotation are perpendicular to the cylinder body and placed so that the rear of the evacuation assembly rests on the stack of newspapers by these support rollers 42 and keeps it pressed locally for its end retention for the duration of drive-evacuation of the upper log.
  • rollers of the press block also allow the rear of the newspaper to escape properly.
  • the abutment-twinning bridge 41 is produced for example in the form of a U-shaped bracket 43, the two ends 44 and 45 of which are lowered at right angles according to bearing and abutment surfaces whose spacing is substantially equal to the distance between the two pads.
  • These pads have a different rear configuration equipped with a pusher device 46 accompanying the newspaper or magazine by pushing it on its rear transverse edge.
  • This pusher device must disappear or at least slide or roll on the immediately lower log 3 during the return movement.
  • the pusher device shown comprises a pendulum finger 47 pivotally mounted on a part with a longitudinal axis 48 perpendicular to the rear face of the body of the skate.
  • This axis part is held longitudinally by any means, for example by the axis of rotation-rolling of the rear roller, which will preferably be produced, according to this variant, in the form of two separate rollers 49 and 50 mounted at the rear on the lateral surface of the body, on either side of the part of axis 48.
  • the withdrawal is carried out by rolling on the immediately lower log 3.
  • the end of the pendulum finger is provided with a head in the form of a semi-spherical roller 51 of a mass sufficient to constitute an effective recall by the force of gravity alone.
  • the cylinder carrier and vertical slide assembly is replaced by another vertical guide means, for example a system with ball socket (s) moving along one or two columns ( s).
  • another vertical guide means for example a system with ball socket (s) moving along one or two columns ( s).

  • the rear stops 65 and 66 are produced by vertical angles fitted at least in part to the rear vertical inner edge of each of the cheeks, and are adjustable to the depth of the stack of newspapers by means of a set 77 or 78 with horizontal light and nut provided respectively on each of the cheeks and its corresponding angle.
  • the two horizontal returns 74 and 75 of the cheeks are cut in the form for example of teeth such as 81 arranged in staggered rows (FIG. 9) to allow adjustment of the spacing of the cheeks from a minimum spacing for which the teeth overlap in the others, up to a maximum spacing for which the horizontal part of each cheek remains fixed by the end of its teeth.
  • a graduated scale 82 is provided on the front of the plate 57 of the shelf in order to facilitate the width adjustment of the cheeks 72 and 73.
  • the height of the lateral stops 63, 64 is adjustable by adding flanges 83 and 84 made of sheet metal comprising lights. These flanges are fixed to the cheeks, for example by sets such as 85, each composed of a welded stud receiving a washer and a wing nut. The angles of the rear vertical stops 65 and 66 are then replaced by telescopic stops 86, 87 of U-shaped iron each sliding in a square tube, these square tubes coming to be fixed behind the cheeks thanks to the assemblies 77, 78.
  • Each row has in the lower part a movable lower shelf 88, for example in accordance with that shown in FIG. 12.
