Definitions

  • the invention relates to automatic vending machines, particularly for foodstuffs and specifically for articles of frozen confectionery. More specifically it relates to an automatic vending machine which does not need an employee or attenant and is operated by the user for the sale of ice-creams contained in containers.
  • the mechanism of the invention for product delivered in automatic vending machines where products are stacked in parallel columns and are dispensed via an opening in the front door comprises between the stacks and the door:
  • the Invention further relates to a tamper-resistant vending machine incorporating the said mechanism. More specifically it relates to a machine for the vending of ice-creams in a frozen state packaged in cylindrical containers.
  • vending machines of the type described hereinbefore One problem with known vending machines of the type described hereinbefore is that the interior of the machine generally is accessible through a window in the outer door and there is a risk of acts of vandalism so frequent in this type of machine.
  • the mechanism of the invention enables the interior of the machine to remain permanently inaccessible, eliminating the risk of acts of vandalism.
  • ice-creams mean various frozen confectionery products which can be moulded or extruded, including ice sticks, cups, cones, sandwiches or bars.
  • Frozen confectionery is intended for ice cream, milk ice, water ice, sherbet, sorbet, which can be simple or composite, without or with inclusions or coatings.
  • the mechanism of the invention is composed of a motor-operated mobile compartment, that moves vertically along guides, to be placed in the front of the machine between the stacks of products and the door.
  • This compartment is made of a lower part that receives the selected product from the column's dispensing device through an opening in the back and has an opening in the front accessible to the user, and a higher part that is in a partition or prolongation of its vertical side. This higher part is made of rigid and resistant material and extends above the front opening.
  • the compartment is completed by the external structure, which forms a sole piece and is sliding along guides.
  • the mechanism has a safety system that prevents the consumer's hand from being caught in the closure movement of the product collection door.
  • the mechanism also enables the product descent to be reduced to a very small dimension so that the available space can be occupied by the product to be delivered, thus increasing the storage capacity of the machine.
  • microswitch is mounted on a chassis fixed to the dispensing machine and is activated electronically, thus able to block the recipient in its lower position or to release it so that it can move into the upper position.
  • the geared motor is attached to the chassis of the machine to enable the vertical movement of the compartment.
  • the geared motor has a lever on the axis connected to two consecutive connecting rods.
  • the free end of the front joint is joined to an anchorage of the upper crosspiece of the structure of the recipient.
  • the said geared motor is capable of elevating the compartment.
  • the compartment is in the lower rest position when the geared motor lever is in the downward position, the lever chain extended and the partition placed in front of the exterior access opening of the machine.
  • the compartment is in the upper activated position when the geared motor's lever is in the upward position, with the lever chain retracted and the access window of the compartment opposite the exterior access opening of the machine.
  • the window can hit the user's hand if it is not removed in time or any object is imprudently put into the compartment, and could cause damage or lesions.
  • the kinematic chain between the geared motor and the crosspiece of the recipient is made up of unaligned connecting rods at an angle. This allows for the arm to move to the end of its cycle or return to the upper position and the suspension of the compertment, which can be moved easily to release the obstruction.
  • the compartment can freely move down to the bottom of the machine, enabling it to be anchored.
  • this device allows for an additional window, which means lengthening the stacking columns downwards hence increasing the machine's capacity.
  • the machine comprises an outer insulated body 1 providing a controlled-environment chamber 2, an inner door 3 and an outer door 4 which houses the controls 5 for selection which includes corresponding pushbutton panel.
  • controlled-environment chamber 2 lie a product selector dispenser 6 and a coin box and product selector device 7.
  • the product selector dispenser 6 operated by an electric motor (not shown) takes the bottommost product packed in a cylindrical container 8 from a stack of cylinders and by rotating drops the said cylinder 8 through door 9 into discharge hopper 10.
  • Discharge hopper 10 empties into receiving compartment 11 through slot 12 in inner door 3, receiving compartment 11 being located in outer door 4 with access from the outside through slot 13.
  • Receiving compartment 11 comprises a protective partition 14 against forcible entry into the internal part of the machine.
  • Receiving compartment 11 has a front closure cover 15 comprising a slot 16 of a size corresponding to slot 13 of outer door 4.
  • the upper part 17 of the cover serves to close the access from the outside.
  • Receiving compartment 11 has a bottom 18 and raising and lowering sliding guides 19.
  • a product descent shock-absorbing pad 20 is provided over bottom 18.
  • Receiving compartment 11 is provided with delivery photoelectric cell 21 and reception photoelectric cell 22.
  • a position triangle 23 helps placing the cylinder in the right position.
  • Receiving compartment 11 is hung up to a raising and lowering mechanism support bar 24 fixed to plate 25.
  • Pivotably attached to plate 25 by its lower end are two connecting rods 26, 27, which are pivotably connected together.
  • Connecting rod 27 is attached to plate 25 and connecting rod 26 is in its turn pivotably attached to lever 28 by its upper end.
  • Connecting rods 26, 27 together have the same length as the distance between lowered and raised positions of the receiving compartment 11 and serves as anti-trapping safety mechanism as will be explained hereinafter.
  • Rotary lever 28 driven by geared motor 29, attached on plate 30 serves to raise and lower receiving compartment 11 by making a half round rotation (clockwise or counter clockwise).
  • On/off microswitches 31,32 of the geared motor are attached to plate 33.
  • Receiving compartment 11 can be locked to door 4 of the machine by means of anchoring and locking pin 34 which is attached on plate 35 and engages in hole 36 of the compartment.
  • a microswitch 37 drives anchoring pin 34 out trough hole 34 in a protruded position, which makes the locking mechanism.
  • Locking pin 36 can be driven by any suitable mechanism capable of horizontally displacing it, electromagnetical or mechanical. The retracted position of pin 34 is recovered by action of spring 38. Pin 34 is thus opened and closed by the combined action of spring 38 and microswitch 37.
