Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method by which a flat object disposed at one end of a stack of said objects is taken from said stack to be delivered to a user, pressure being exerted on said object by stacking so that a surface of the object is in contact with means suitable for driving the object along a path perpendicular to the axis stacking in order to distribute it on request to a user, means of retainer being provided to retain the object or objects of the stack adjacent to the object to be sampled.
  • the invention also relates to a device allowing the application of this process.
  • Patent EP-A-0.339.059 describes a dispenser of objects allowing to distribute thin and flexible objects piece by piece and automatically. Since during its passage inside said device, the object travels comprising two opposite curvatures, the device described can only distribute thin and flexible objects and therefore could not be applied to distribution a relatively thick and / or rigid object.
  • a first object of the invention is therefore to propose a process thus a device for the distribution of objects, which can be used to distribute both thin and flexible objects, such as tickets or tickets than possibly thicker and / or more rigid objects, such as example of cigarette packs or credit cards, including means for driving the object to be removed as well as retaining means subsequent objects, simple in design and operation.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a distribution device inviolable.
  • the object distribution device 1 has a face before 10 accessible to the user while all the part of the device arranged on the other side (on the right side of the figure) of the partition wall 11 is not accessible to the user.
  • the device 1 firstly comprises a storage part 12 for objects 2, these being stacked on top of each other.
  • the storage part 12 consists of four angles 13 arranged vertically and whose concave parts form the four edges vertical sides of a storage volume with perpendicular dimensions to said edges correspond to the dimensions of length and width of an object 2.
  • the stack of objects 2 is introduced from the top of the storage part 12, that it is held between the four angles 13, the objects 2 tending to descend along said angles inside of the storage volume 12 under the action of gravity.
  • the object 20 placed at the bottom of the stack comes to rest on means 3, consisting here of a friction drive roller 30 and a support roller 31.
  • the two upper generators of rollers 30 and 31 define a support plane for the object 20, this plane preferably being horizontal.
  • the axis of the drive roller 30 is driven by motorized means 32, the latter being controlled by a control unit 33 or, for a simpler embodiment, the axis of the roller 30 can be directly driven by mechanical means, for example a lever accessible from outside.
  • All or part of the outer peripheral surface of the roller friction drive 30 includes an adherent coating 34, preferably rubberized, and may include drive grooves, such as represented on a portion of said surface, so as to be able to extract by friction the object 20 disposed at the bottom of the stack when the motorized means 32 actuate the drive roller 30 in the direction indicated by the arrow.
  • the backing roller 31 is formed of any material, and pivots freely on its axis when moving object 20. It could be replaced by a stationary support surface.
  • this unit 33 controls the starting of the motor 32 in order to rotate the friction drive roller 30 in the direction indicated by the arrow, then frictionally driving the object 20 disposed at the very bottom of the stack, support on rollers 30 and 31 as mentioned above, towards guiding and retaining means 4.
  • the object 20 first passes through an opening 40 arranged between the roller 30 and the lower edge 41A of a vertical wall portion 41, then comes to rest on a rotating roller 42 free, against which it is pressed by a retaining blade 43, preferably in rubber, the usefulness of which will be explained below.
  • a retaining blade 43 preferably in rubber, the usefulness of which will be explained below.
  • the object 20 comes into abutment inside a V consisting of a portion oblique 15 of an edge of the lower portion of the wall 11 and of a portion surface, preferably semi-circular, of a movable retaining flap 44, as seen in Figure 2.
  • the movable flap 44 is slidably mounted by a slide 45 on an upper and inner portion of the wall 11, so as to close off or uncover, depending on its position, an outlet slot 16 arranged between the upper and lower portions of the wall 11 and allowing the output of the object 20.
  • a slide 45 on an upper and inner portion of the wall 11, so as to close off or uncover, depending on its position, an outlet slot 16 arranged between the upper and lower portions of the wall 11 and allowing the output of the object 20.
  • the distance between the outlet slot 16 and the vertical plane containing the axis of the roller 30 is determined so that when the rear end of object 20 arrives at immediate proximity to this plane, a sufficient portion of the front part of the object 20 has passed through the slot 16 so that the object 20 can easily be entered by the user and completely extracted from the device, as can see it in figure 3.
  • the unit 33 controls the rotation stop of the roller 30 when the rear end of the object 20 is in the immediate vicinity from the vertical plane mentioned above.
  • the retaining means 4 are intended to prevent more than one object at a time either delivered through the exit slot 16.
  • the opening 40 ( Figure 1) is limited by a lower edge 41A of a wall portion vertical 41.
  • the objects 21 and following arranged above the object 20 to be sampled should come up against the inside of this portion wall 41 and thus be prevented from following object 20.
  • a final precaution to prevent the exit of an object 21 may consist of limiting movement vertical of the movable flap 44 to a value only very slightly higher to the thickness of an object, as well as to limit the thickness of the slot 16 in order to allow only one object to pass at a time.
  • the path followed by the object 20 inside the device is rectilinear, according to the plane of the object 20, the latter never having to be curved; this is obtained by aligning the lower end of the stack with the roller 42 and slot 16.
  • the storage part 12 consists of four angles 13; it is understood that other forms of execution may be provided, for example one or more of the faces of the storage part capable of be made up of solid or perforated plates.
  • a pressure block 22 having a determined mass above the stack of objects 2, so as to have, when the stack is at almost completely consumed and there are only a few objects left, minus a minimum mass allowing good support of the object 20 on the roller drive 30.
  • a detector 17 of known technique is arranged in a suitable place towards the bottom of the storage part 12, so that to detect that the stack is soon empty of objects and that it is necessary to replenish.
  • This detector 17 can also act on the control unit 33 in order to to prevent an item from being delivered when the stack falls below a stock minimum.
  • the drive part 3, described so far as constituted of a single roller 30, can also be designed according to various embodiments or variants. Instead of a single roller 30, one can also have two or more rollers arranged parallel to each other under the storage part, each of them can be rotated.
  • roller 30 it is not necessary that the rubberized part 34 of the roller (s) 30 extends over the entire width of the roll (s), respectively of the object 20, but or could also very well have two or more rubberized portions arranged side by side side on each roll with a space between them.
  • execution drive means 3 is shown in Figure 5 where instead of roller 30 we have an endless drive belt 35, also preferably rubberized, circulating around two rollers 36, at least one of them being motorized. This last embodiment of the drive means allows in particular to bring the object 20 in the immediate vicinity of the roller 42 and the retaining blade 43, which may be particularly suitable for very flexible objects.
  • FIG. 6 Another form of execution of the training means is visible in Figure 6 where we see that the stack of objects comes first lean on a free-rolling support roller 31, driving the object 20 being obtained by a pusher 37, pushing the object 20 by its rear face under the action of motorized means 38 of known technique, or as previously, for a simpler embodiment, the pusher 37 can be activated by mechanical means, lever or push button, accessible from outside. Since the height of the pusher 37 cannot exceed that of object 20, this embodiment is particularly usable for objects of a certain thickness, for example packs of cigarettes.
  • this flap 44 can also be of a form other than circular, for example arcuate or even on an inclined plane.
  • the length of the movable flap 44 is preferably slightly longer than the length of the slot 16, so as to completely close this slot when the flap 44 is lowered. In this way, the slot 16 is inviolable and it is impossible to insert a blade or pliers therein to collect an object from it 20 without having paid the necessary amount by the collection device 14.
  • the flap 44 may include spring means, symbolized at 46 so that the flap 44 is fairly firmly pressed against the bottom; the action of these spring means 46 must not, however, prevent the lifting of the flap 44 under the action of the thrust exerted by the object 20.
  • locking means 47 controlled by the unit 33 which do not allow opening of the flap 44 only when an object 20 has been regularly ordered.
  • a additional means to prevent theft of the device is to extend the slot 16, as shown in phantom in Figure 1.
  • the next object 21 can be in positions different depending on what restraint stopped him. So object 21 can have been stopped directly by the lower edge 41A of the wall 41 (see figure 6) and therefore have not moved from the battery, or it may have is part of the exit path and have been blocked by blade 43 (see figure 3) or it may have accompanied the object 20 to near the slot 16 and have only been blocked by the movable flap 44 (see FIG. 4).
  • the next object 21 becomes the next object to be issue 20.
  • control unit 33 It is necessary that the control unit 33 be able to know its position so as to control the advance of the roller 30 only by the quantity necessary to allow the new object 20 to protrude out of the slot 16 in order to be entered by the user.
  • means for detecting position preferably cells 18 of known technique (see FIG. 1) are arranged along this path to detect the starting position of the new object 20.
  • the device 1 has been described above with an object to be removed placed below the pile, a pressure being exerted on the object 20 by the mass objects 2 of the stack, possibly increased by the pressure exerted by the block 22 disposed at the top of the stack.
  • a pressure being exerted on the object 20 by the mass objects 2 of the stack, possibly increased by the pressure exerted by the block 22 disposed at the top of the stack.
  • the object to be removed 20 being placed at the top of the stack, the pressure to be exerted by the upper face of the object 20 against the roller friction 30 which is superimposed on it being obtained by means of pressure, for example spring loaded, which act on the object placed below the battery.
  • a representation of this embodiment would be obtained by inverting Figure 1, the block 22 then representing the pressure means mentioned.
  • the method and the device described above make it possible to extract a flat object, which can be thin and flexible as well as rigid and thick, while ensuring that the object or objects adjacent to the object to be extracted are securely retained inside the device.
  • the means provided for this purpose are simple in design, with very few moving parts and allow particular to make the device inviolable.
