Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shelf containing products for vending machines, made up of a tray that is extractable from a retracted position, in which the support contains the products to be expended, to an extracted loading position.
  • Vending machines are known the storage area of which is sub-divided in floors, by means of shelves containing products, which are separated by a distance slightly greater than the height of the products to be contained, so as to have the largest possible number of shelves.
  • the tray is extracted and swivelled downwards, such that it lowers at its front edge, thus facilitating access and product restocking.
  • This ease of restocking means that this assembly is common in upper trays.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawback by means of an offsetting shelf provided with means facilitating its elevation in a loaded situation and its movement to the retracted position, requiring minimum effort by the worker.
  • the shelf of this invention is of the type made up of a tray assembled on rails along which it can move between a retracted position, in which it remains inside the storage area and rests completely on the rails, and an extracted position in which it projects from the storage area, resting on the end of said rails.
  • the assembly of rails and tray is also able to swivel about a hinge pin perpendicularly traversing the rails at points located close to the front end thereof.
  • the rails are connected at their rear end to a spring acting on said rails in the direction opposite to the weight of the tray and products supported thereon with respect to the hinge pin of said rails.
  • Said spring may consist of a tension spring which is connected between the free rear end of the rails and a point of the structure of the machine located below the position occupied by said rails when they are in the rest position.
  • the spring may be calibrated such that it offsets the weight of the product contained on the outermost half of the tray, so the effort needed to swivel the tray upwards when loaded with the product will be minimal.
  • the tray is provided on its lower surface with stops limiting the maximum extraction and retraction positions.
  • the frame of the machine has, on the sides of the product storage area, stops limiting the maximum swivelling angle of the tray from its horizontal rest position.
  • Figure 1 shows the front view of an upper shelf of the storage area of a vending machine of the type comprising a series of helical rods (3) carrying out rotational movements for making a chosen product (15) advance along a tray (1) and causing it to fall from the front part of the tray (1) to a container from which the user collects it.
  • Figure 1 also shows an anti-tipping bar (17), which can vary from a lower position, in which the fall of the product is prevented (15) during the process of loading the tray (1), and an upper position in which the product (15) can be served to the user.
  • an anti-tipping bar (17) can vary from a lower position, in which the fall of the product is prevented (15) during the process of loading the tray (1), and an upper position in which the product (15) can be served to the user.
  • Figures 2 to 4 show the shelf according to the invention, comprising a tray (1) assembled on rails (2) along which it can move between a maximum retraction position shown in Figure 2 and a maximum extraction position shown in Figure 3 .
  • the movement of the tray (1) on the rails (2) is facilitated by means of a front wheel (4) assembled on the front end of the rails (2) and a rear wheel (5) assembled on the tray (1).
  • the tray (1) has a front stop (6) on its lower portion which in the retracted position of the tray (1) rests against the pin (7) of the front wheels (4), preventing the extraction of said tray.
  • it is sufficient to act on handle (8), raising it slightly until the position shown by the dotted lines, in which the front stop (6) overcomes the hinge pin (7) and the tray (1) can be easily extracted to the position shown in Figure 3 , which position is limited by the rear stop (9), Figures 2 and 5 , also located on the lower surface of the tray (1), which rests in this extracted position against the front wheel (4).
  • the pin (7) of the front wheels further serves as a swivel pin for the swivelling of the assembly of tray (1) and rails (2), to the inclined position of Figure 4 .
  • the storage container has rear guiding rails (10) through which the rear end of the rail moves (2), preventing its lateral movement.
  • the maximum swivelling angle of the assembly is defined by the stops (11), Figures 3 and 6 , made up of angle brackets fixed on the sides of the storage area having an inclined surface (12) against which the rails (2) rest when they reach the allowed inclination limit, all of which is as shown in Figures 4 and 6 .
  • a tension spring (14) is assembled which acts, with respect to the swivel pin (7) of the assembly, in the direction opposite to the weight of the products (15) located on the tray (1).
  • the spring (14) When the shelf occupies the position of Figure 4 , the spring (14) is in a maximum expansion position and therefore acting on the rear end of the rails (2) with the maximum tension effect.
  • the spring or springs (14) may be calibrated such that in the horizontal position of Figure 3 they offset the weight of the products (16) occupying the front half of the tray (1).

Claims (5)

  1. Etagère contenant des produits pour distributeurs automatiques, composée d'un plateau (1) qui est assemblé sur des rails (2) le long desquels il peut se déplacer entre une position rentrée dans laquelle il se situe à l'intérieur de la zone de stockage et repose entièrement sur les rails (2), et une position sortie, dans laquelle il se projette depuis la zone de stockage et les rails (2), reposant sur leur extrémité avant, l'assemblage des rails (2) et du plateau (1) étant capable de pivoter autour d'une broche (7) traversant perpendiculairement les rails (2) dans leur partie avant, caractérisée en ce que lesdits rails (2) sont raccordés à leur extrémité arrière à un ressort (14) agissant sur lesdits rails (2) dans la direction opposée au poids de l'étagère et des produits (15) supportés par celle-ci, par rapport à l'axe (7) de l'assemblage desdits rails (2) et dudit plateau (1).
  2. Etagère selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce que ledit ressort (14) est constitué d'un ressort de tension qui est raccordé entre l'extrémité arrière libre des rails (2) et un point (13) de la structure du distributeur, situé sous la position occupée par les rails (2) dans leur position de repos horizontale.
  3. Etagère selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisée en ce que ledit ressort (14) est calibré de telle sorte qu'il décale le poids des produits (16) contenus sur la moitié la plus externe du plateau (1).

Etagère selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce que la partie inférieure du plateau (1) est pourvue de butées avant et arrière (6, 9) qui heurtent les roues avant (4) assemblées sur les rails (2) sur lesquels le plateau (1) se déplace, dans des positions rentrée et sortie maximales, respectivement, de manière à limiter lesdites positions.
  5. Etagère selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce que le cadre du distributeur présente des butées (11) sur les côtés de la zone de stockage de produit qui présentent une surface de support inclinée (12) pour les rails (2), limitant l'angle de pivotement desdits rails (2) et dudit plateau (1) depuis leur position de repos.
