- the present invention relates more particularly to a machine used to collect and crush aluminum boxes, equipped with visuals used to display the awards which can be chosen, or the award obtained or even the tribute to be withdrawn, and a recording and control system which records the reward chosen or won or the tribute to be withdrawn, by providing a gift voucher with all the necessary information.
- the object of the present invention is to present a machine which serves to promote the harvesting of aluminum boxes or metal boxes, in general.
- the purpose of this invention is more specifically that of presenting a machine for the collection and recovery of metal cans capable of directly rewarding, with a modest gratuity, the person who introduces the can into this machine.
- the gratuity is offered by the organizers of this type of harvest, who then use these recovery materials, or by the organizers and sponsors of this recovery activity, also using it as a means of propaganda and publicity for all kinds of products.
- this objective and other objectives are achieved by means of a machine, equipped with means which crush and compact the metal box and with a control system, recording what it receives, and delivery of a receipt the person depositing the box there, receipt which will then be used to withdraw the reward.
- the compacted boxes are piled up in a reserved space, which will then be emptied by the people in charge, when the machine is no longer able to receive other boxes. The people in charge of this function then put the machine back into working order.
- This machine can also be used to broadcast commercial press releases.
- FIG.1 - it represents a front and perspective view of the exterior of the machine of the present invention
- FIG.2 - it represents the side view of the machine mentioned in FIG.1;
- FIG.3 - it represents the machine, seen from above, mentioned in the previous figures;
- FIG.4 - it represents a view of the machine mentioned in the preceding figures, along a plane passing along the line BB, indicated in FIG.3;
- FIG.5 - it represents the view of the machine in question above, along a plane passing along the line CC, indicated in FIG.4.
- the machine of the present invention comprises a profiled metal casing or cabinet 1, provided with spinning wheels 12 and equipped with an ornamental structure 19, which highlights the position of the visuals.
- This cabinet 1 is able to contain the entire device, which constitutes the machine of the present invention.
- the device 6 signals the acceptance and the passage of the box 2 compressed and directed towards the bag 4, which contains it.
- the display 7 which is at the same height as the person who introduced the box 2 into the machine, displays a series of advertising images, each referring to a very specific product, accompanied by all. the information which will serve to distinguish it.
- This visual 7 continuously presents visual and audio messages, inscriptions, slogans, names, brands and various products, which are used as a reward for each box collected.
- a second visual ⁇ is used to determine, as desired or drawn, one of the products or names, which are displayed on visual 7; it is used to define the choice made by the person who introduced box 2 or to indicate the reward obtained.
- the machine records the reward by providing all the necessary information to be able to withdraw the reward chosen or won.
- Such is the utility of these visuals 7 and 8, connected to computers 9 which, thanks to automatic pulses, make it possible to obtain the aforementioned facts.
- Computers 9 are equipped with a keyboard 20, necessary for their programming.
- One of the computers 9 can define the reward to be allocated.
