  • this sensor 16 registers the delivery of the empty gas bottle 1b and by the signal this sensor causes the drive 11 of the corresponding to be activated Recording 6 for locking the empty gas bottle 1b in this recording.
  • the lock 10 of the receptacle 6 in the area 4 for the filled to be removed Gas bottle 1a opened so that the buyer can then remove the full gas bottle there can.
  • the 1 and 2 relate to a sales system in which the recordings 6 3 and 4 show a sales system in which a a vertical axis rotatably mounted rotor 17 a plurality of receptacles 18 forms, each of which can hold a filled gas bottle 1a or empty Gas bottle 1b is suitable.
  • the gas bottles 1 are in the receptacles 18, respectively arranged horizontally, with its bottle axis radial to the vertical axis of rotation of the rotor 17, for example the top of the bottles 1 or the one there Connection fitting is located radially outside.
  • the rotor 17 forms several levels 19, with each level 19 several recordings 18 are provided distributed around the vertical axis of rotation.
  • the different levels 19 can each have the same receptacles 18 for bottles 1 and be of the same type or size. Basically there is but also the possibility of selling bottles of 1 different sizes in the floors 19 provide receptacles 18 for different bottles 1, then however, each tier 19 is only designed for one bottle type.
  • the rotor 17 is accommodated in a stationary, closed housing 19, which is ventilated accordingly.
  • the receptacles 18 are from levels 19 to level 19 offset against each other in such a way that in two adjacent floors the recordings 18 on the upper floor between two recordings 18 of the floor below.
  • Closure elements 22 are closable. Through each opening 21 is only that receptacle 18 located directly at this opening is accessible, i.e. only this Recording can be done by inserting an empty bottle or by removing one full bottle can be served.
  • the opening and closing of the closing elements 22 takes place by motor, specifically controlled by a chip or card machine 23.
  • a common opening 21 with several floors 19 provide common closing elements 22, namely when due to staggered arrangement of the receptacles 18 in each position of the rotor 17 only in each case a receptacle 18 is fully accessible through the common opening 21 and further recordings remain inaccessible at least to the extent that operating them Recordings, in particular also a removal of gas bottles 1 from these It is not possible to take pictures with the flap open in the relevant position of the rotor is.
