- FIG. 7 shows the device, 1a Figure
- FIG. 8 shows a partial left view of the chute illustrated in Figures 6 and 7.
- the present invention relates to an automatic product distributor, comprising a coin mechanism for the introduction of at least one coin, tokens or the like and means for distributing the products.
- automatic product dispensers are constituted by a casing inside which are placed the products which one wishes to distribute and which are accessible, for example, by means of at least one drawer, the operation of which can be ordered after the introduction inside a coin mechanism of a certain amount of money in coins or tokens corresponding to the price of the product which one wishes to acquire.
- the automatic product dispenser comprises a coin changer 1 which has an introduction zone 2 of at least one coin A communicating with a chute 3 thus guiding means of distribution and release of said products from a classic type and known to those skilled in the art.
- the device to authorize the cleaning of the device in the event of the introduction of foreign bodies B, such as pieces of paper, cardboard, capsules or the like, it comprises means 4 for evacuating all parasitic elements B, other guue of money, tokens or the like, provided with means for verifying proper functioning requesting control means 6 of said evacuation means 4.
- mistletoe relates to the means 4 for evacuation, they are constituted by a chute 3 mistletoe, according to the invention, has in particular a body 7, substantially V-shaped, consisting of three parts, namely an upper part 8, a middle part 9 and part
- the upper part 8 comprises an orifice which opens out opposite a horizontal slot in the insertion zone 2 of at least one coin A.
- the middle part 9 is in the form of two flaps
- the lower part 10 opens opposite, on the one hand, a slot 50 for entry of the coin mechanism 52 proper, but also, on the other hand, for a zone 51 for storage and / or evacuation of said parasitic elements B.
- mistletoe relates to the control means, they are in particular constituted by an electromagnet 6 fixed on a support spacer 14, by means of screws 15, on one of the walls of the casing of the automatic distributor for example.
- This electromagnet 6 is integral with one of the ends 16a, of a rod 16 capable of being slidably mounted in vertical translation, the other end of which 16b opens into an orifice 17, formed in a spacer 18 integral with the 'spacer 14, being subject to one of the ends 19a of a first link 19, the other end 19b of which is subject to one of the ends 20a of a second link 20, of which the other end 20b is subject to its other end on the articulated flap 11 of the chute.
- a spring 21 having an appropriate coefficient of elasticity is provided. on the rod 16.
- Figures 6 and 7 illustrate the operation of the cleaning means of the present invention in an alternative embodiment.
- Figure 6 shows the normal operation in leguel part A slides from the inlet 2 of the device 1 to the inlet 5a of the coin mechanism 52 proper.
- Figure 7 is shown the evacuation of a piece of paper B causing the stuffing of the chute 8, 9, 10 and making impossible the normal circulation of a coin.
- the wide authorized opening, of the order of 40 to 80 °, allows good efficiency of the cleaning system; moreover, the shock provoked during the closing of the chute, during repeated requests makes it possible to loosen any bioguided objects.
- the upper part 8 of the body 7 is subject, in the vicinity of the insertion zone 2 of the coins A, to a part secured to the front face of the distributor housing and, the lower part 10 of the body 7 is guant to it secured by means of rods integral with the rear face of said housing.
- the articulated flap 11 of the chute has a guide groove 22 extending along one of its edges to allow and ensure optimal movement of the part A when the chute is in the closed position.
- the body 7 of the chute 3 has a suitable shape and, preferably, its dimensions will be adjusted as necessary to allow a better cleaning operation.
- a tongue 23 projecting perpendicularly to the flap 11 of the chute 3 may be provided, substantially in the vicinity of its end, in order to cooperate with a cutout 24 of shape complementary opposite in section 12.
- a support part 25 on laguelle is placed a magnet 26 intended to cooperate with a metal part 27 subject to the free end of the flap 12.
- a magnet 26 intended to cooperate with a metal part 27 subject to the free end of the flap 12.
- the device of the present invention may, upstream of the discharge means 4, include means for selecting parasitic elements and foreign bodies B.
- these selection means can be constituted by at least one electromagnet 28, connected to at least two magnetic sensors 29, 30 capable of detecting the introduction of at least one coin A and mistletoe cooperate with a valve 32, mounted movably, capable of selectively closing a slot for introducing a coin A.
- a riveted plague 31 is provided for filling in the various cuts resulting from the removal of the counter and, preferably, this plague 31 will have an orifice intended to allow the installation of an indicator light connected to the coin mechanism in order to induce the user the proper functioning of it.
- buttons 33 disposed on the front face of the casing and capable of being actuated manually to trigger the operation of the electromagnet 6-28 . It should be noted that such a button can be replaced by a contact actuated by the device's room return device.
- FIG. 5 If one refers more particularly to FIG. 5, one sees illustrated a diagram of the electrical circuit allowing an implementation of the device, by way of nonlimiting example.
- This circuit is supplied by a 220 V-24 V transformer located in the lower part of the distributor housing.
- This circuit includes a diode bridge 35 to ensure the rectification of the voltage intended in particular to supply the electromagnets 6, 28.
- the sensor 29 is supplied with a voltage of
- an auto-manual reverser which selects the type of operation, i.e. automatic cleaning by periodical action or manual cleaning by pressing the button.
- the two magnetic sensors 29 and 30 are put into action when they are both requested by a coin A, a token or the like which has a bulk corresponding to the difference "d" between these two sensors.
- a coin A a token or the like which has a bulk corresponding to the difference "d" between these two sensors.
- the introduction of any parasitic element not having this width does not allow the two sensors to be actuated and therefore protects the coin mechanism.
- the difference d between the two sensors 29-30 is variable according to the needs and one could also plan to use other types of sensors according to the applications.
- a diode 37 is arranged in series and a diode 38 is connected in parallel to avoid the self-inducing effect on cutting.
- diodes 39 and 40 are also provided to protect the electromagnet 6.
- Relays RT X , RT 2 , T ' a . are available to allow the commissioning of means for verifying proper operation constituting a time delay which triggers, according to a determined cycle, the commissioning of the electromagnets 28 and 6 respectively controlling the movement of the valve 32 and of the rod 16. It is to note that a simpler diagram can be envisaged in the case where the device does not comprise means of prior selection and where one does not seek a systemic settling by time delay.
