Object of the invention

El presente modelo, según se expresa en la descripción, se refiere a una máquina expendedora de productos en estuche o envase, la cual ha sido ideada con el fin de mejorar las existentes en el mercado de similares características.This model, as expressed in the Description, refers to a product vending machine in case or container, which has been devised in order to improve the existing in the market with similar characteristics.

La finalidad de esta máquina es entregar un producto tras la introducción de una o varias monedas. Mejorando varios aspectos con respecto a otras de similares características, como los canales donde se aloja el producto apilados uno encima de otro, teniendo un sistema de ajuste en profundidad, lo cual nos permite poder expender diferentes tamaños de estuches o envases, también se han colocado varios monederos mecánicos, tantos como canales para el estuche o envase, teniendo estos monederos unas características especiales que mejoran la utilización al usuario, las cuales explicaremos en sucesivos apartados. En definitiva se ha ideado una máquina que facilita y mejora el uso tanto para el consumidor como para la persona que trabaje con dicha máquina.The purpose of this machine is to deliver a product after the introduction of one or several coins. Getting better several aspects with respect to others of similar characteristics, as the channels where the product is housed stacked one on top of another, having an in-depth adjustment system, which we allows you to sell different sizes of cases or containers, several mechanical purses have also been placed, as many as channels for the case or container, these purses having special features that improve user use, which we will explain in successive sections. It has definitely devised a machine that facilitates and improves the use for both consumer as for the person working with said machine.

Background of the invention

Actualmente existen diversos modelos de máquinas expendedoras con productos de pequeño tamaño, tanto de uno o mas productos, estos productos se alojan apilados uno encima de otro en unos canales, siendo estos canales de unas dimensiones fijas, limitándonos a usar un mismo tamaño de estuche o envase, sin la posibilidad de introducir productos de un mayor tamaño y por lo tanto no poder ampliar la oferta de productos al consumidor.There are currently several machine models Vending machines with small products, both one or more products, these products are stacked on top of each other in channels, these channels being fixed dimensions, just using the same case or container size, without the possibility of introducing larger products and therefore so much not to be able to expand the product offer to the consumer

Generalmente estos tipos de modelos similares, de funcionamiento exclusivamente mecánico, disponen de un solo monedero obligándonos a fijar un mismo precio para todos los productos, no pudiendo variar el precio de ningún producto sin que afecte al resto. Con el condicionante que si introducimos una moneda y el producto deseado está agotado, o bien la perdería el usuario o se vería obligado a elegir otro producto seguramente no tan deseado. De igual modo si este monedero se estropea por cualquier motivo o circunstancia, la máquina quedaría fuera de servicio sin poder ofrecer cualquiera de sus productos temporalmente, con lo cual se perderían posibles ventas en ese periodo.Generally these types of similar models, exclusively mechanical operation, they have only one purse forcing us to set the same price for all products, not being able to vary the price of any product without Affect the rest. With the conditioner that if we introduce a currency and the desired product is sold out, or else you would lose it user or would be forced to choose another product surely not so desired. Similarly if this wallet is damaged by any reason or circumstance, the machine would be out of service without being able to offer any of your products temporarily, thereby losing possible sales in that period.

Normalmente estos tipos de máquinas, suelen estar colocadas mediante unos anclajes en las paredes de baños, aseos o estancias similares y ofreciendo tan sólo uno o dos productos diferentes, teniendo ya un tamaño considerable cuando se trata de una máquina con dos productos, por lo que la idea de ampliar estas máquinas con mas productos usando el mismo sistema de fabricación es inviable, ya que su manejo seria muy arduo por la persona que trabajase con dicha máquina, pues para recaudar, reponer o realizar cualquier acción interna en estas máquinas hay que quitar una carcasa frontal que abraza toda la máquina, a la vez que su tamaño no permitiría la colocación en una gran mayoría de lugares.Normally these types of machines, usually be placed by means of anchors in the walls of bathrooms, toilets or similar stays and offering only one or two different products, having a considerable size when It is a machine with two products, so the idea of expand these machines with more products using the same system of manufacturing is unfeasible, since its handling would be very arduous because of the person who worked with this machine, because to collect, replace or perform any internal action on these machines there are to remove a front case that hugs the entire machine at the same time that its size would not allow placement in a large majority of places.

Description of the invention

Este modelo esta basado en la idea de un receptáculo donde alojar unos canales para el producto, así como un sistema de monedero para la validación de la moneda y expulsión del producto.This model is based on the idea of a receptacle where to house some channels for the product, as well as a purse system for coin validation and expulsion of product.

Teniendo el presente modelo unas mejoras en estos aspectos las cuales describimos a continuación. La estructura externa consta de una carcasa realizada mediante formas rectangulares, pudiendo tener cualquier otra forma geométrica siendo la funcionalidad la misma.Having the present model some improvements in these aspects which we describe below. The structure external consists of a housing made using shapes rectangular, being able to have any other geometric shape being The functionality itself.

A dicha carcasa se le ha sujetado mediante bisagras una puerta, estas bisagras nos permiten abatir la puerta aproximadamente unos 180º, facilitando cualquier trabajo que hubiera que realizar en su interior, como es la frecuente recaudación y reposición de los productos, a esta puerta se le han realizado unas ventas, huecos y ranuras con la finalidad de anunciar, relacionar, fijar el precio de los productos, etc.This housing has been attached by hinges a door, these hinges allow us to lower the door approximately 180º, facilitating any work that would have to be done inside, as is the frequent collection and replacement of products, this door has been made some sales, holes and grooves in order to announce, match, set the price of products, etc.

En dicha puerta se han dispuesto los monederos mecánicos, los cuales tienen una serie de características, como el sistema de bloqueo de monedas para cuando un canal está vacío, no poder introducir ninguna moneda y así evitar molestias al usuario. A estos monederos van unidos sus pulsadores y a estos sus palancas de expulsión, las cuales actúan directamente sobre el estuche o envase, propiciando la caída de éste mediante las rampas a la bandeja inferior de la máquina, donde se hayan unas ranuras en la puerta por las cuales se accede y extrae el producto.In that door the purses have been arranged mechanics, which have a number of features, such as coin lock system for when a channel is empty, no be able to enter any currency and thus avoid inconvenience to the user. TO these purses are attached to their pushbuttons and to these their levers ejection, which act directly on the case or container, causing the fall of this through the ramps to the lower tray of the machine, where there are slots in the door through which the product is accessed and extracted.

La caja de los canales de producto se alojan en la carcasa, quedando la parte frontal de éstos totalmente expuesta al abrir la puerta, teniendo en su parte posterior un soporte superior y otro inferior, sirviéndonos estos de apoyo para los soportes de las guías, estas guías están situadas verticalmente y mas o menos centradas con respecto al canal de producto, lo cual nos permite ajustar la longitud del estuche o envase que alojemos en el canal, a la vez que sirve de tope de estos.The product channels box are housed in the housing, leaving the front of these fully exposed when opening the door, having a support on its back upper and lower, using these support for guide supports, these guides are located vertically and more or less centered with respect to the product channel, which allows us to adjust the length of the case or container that we lodge in the channel, while serving as a top of these.

Seguidamente bajo estos canales y aproximadamente por la parte que cae el estuche o envase tenemos la primera rampa, cuya función es evitar que éstos puedan caer a otras partes de la máquina, donde el usuario no tendría acceso.Then under these channels and approximately by the part that falls the case or container we have the first ramp, whose function is to prevent them from falling to others parts of the machine, where the user would not have access.

Bajo estos canales y rampa, salvando la distancia necesaria para el acople de los monederos cuando cerramos la puerta, tenemos el cajón para las monedas, situado transversalmente con respecto a la carcasa, el cual se apoya sobre unos soportes situados a ambos lados de ésta, dejando el hueco necesario entre este cajón y el fondo de la carcasa para el paso del producto.Under these channels and ramp, saving the distance needed for the coupling of the purses when we close the door, we have the drawer for coins, located transversely with respect to the housing, which rests on some supports located on both sides of it, leaving the hole required between this drawer and the bottom of the housing for passage of the product.

Finalmente en la parte baja de la carcasa o cajón exterior y situada transversalmente en su fondo, tenemos la segunda rampa, por la cual el estuche o envase se desliza hasta la bandeja inferior de la máquina.Finally in the lower part of the housing or outer drawer and located transversely at its bottom, we have the second ramp, through which the case or container slides to the bottom tray of the machine.

Description of a preferred embodiment

Mediante las siguientes figuras de los dibujos que aquí se acompañan, podremos tener una mejor idea de la constitución y funcionamiento de la máquina que se presenta, siendo un ejemplo de realización no limitado.Through the following figures of the drawings which are accompanied here, we can have a better idea of the constitution and operation of the machine presented, being An example of non-limited embodiment.

Como podemos observar en la figura 1, esta máquina está constituida por varios elementos, los cuales pasamos a describir; la carcasa o cajón externo 1, es el elemento de mayores dimensiones, el cual esta delimitado por formas rectangulares, en él alojamos la caja de canales 3, en estos canales 12 se colocan los estuches o envases apilados uno encima de otro y encima de estos se colocan las pesas 6, las cuales llevan un saliente para accionar el bloqueador de las monedas 19, esto ocurre al expulsar el el último estuche o envase de cualquiera de los canales 12, cuando la pesa 6 con su saliente ocupa la posición mas baja en el canal 12, cayendo por gravedad y accionando con este saliente el bloqueador de las monedas 19, el cual bascula sobre su punto de apoyo obstruyendo así la entrada para las monedas.As we can see in figure 1, this machine consists of several elements, which we pass to describe; the outer casing or drawer 1, is the largest element dimensions, which is delimited by rectangular shapes, in it we house the channel box 3, in these channels 12 the cases or containers stacked on top of each other and on top of these are place the weights 6, which have a projection to activate the coin blocker 19, this happens when the last one is ejected case or container of any of the channels 12, when weighing 6 with its protrusion it occupies the lowest position in channel 12, falling by gravity and by activating with this projection the blocker of the coins 19, which swings on its fulcrum thus obstructing The entrance for the coins.

Del mismo modo si nos fijamos en la figura 3, podemos observar dos vistas en perspectiva del monedero, donde se pueden apreciar todas las partes de éste así como las piezas exteriores que actúan sobre él, las cuales pasamos a describir; en primer lugar nos fijaremos en la varilla expulsora 20, que es la encargada de empujar al estuche o envase, la cual está conectada a un pulsador 21 por medio de un redondo pasante que sujeta ésta al pulsador 21, permitiendo la basculación de la varilla expulsora 20. A su vez el pulsador 21 está conectado al carro de las monedas 22, donde éstas se alojan tras ser validadas por el balancín 23, pieza conocida en otros modelos de monedero similares, dicho carro 22 puede admitir varias monedas a la vez, siempre del mismo valor, siendo la cantidad de monedas que admite fijada con anterioridad. Al tener todas las monedas alojadas en el carro 22, la moneda que está situada en la parte superior y por tanto la última que fue introducida, actúa sobre el freno 24 haciéndolo girar sobre su punto de apoyo, permitiendo el paso del carro 22 al empujar el pulsador 21, avanzando así de todo el conjunto, haciendo un efecto de palanca la varilla expulsora 20 sobre el tope 25, provocando un mayor recorrido de ésta con una menor pulsación, consiguiendo por tanto hacer caer el estuche o envase tras el recorrido máximo del pulsador 21, volviendo a su posición original todo el conjunto cuando se deja de empujar el pulsador 21, gracias a unos muelles tensores 26 situados en los extremos del carro 22.Similarly if you look at Figure 3, we can see two perspective views of the purse, where you can appreciate all the parts of it as well as the pieces exteriors that act on him, which we will describe; in first we will look at the ejector rod 20, which is the responsible for pushing the case or container, which is connected to a button 21 by means of a round intern that holds it to the button 21, allowing the tilting of the ejector rod 20. In turn, the button 21 is connected to the coin carriage 22, where they are lodged after being validated by the rocker 23, piece known in other similar purse models, said car 22 can accept several currencies at the same time, always of the same value, being the amount of coins that admits fixed previously. Having all the coins housed in car 22, the currency that it is located at the top and therefore the last one that was introduced, acts on the brake 24 by turning it on its foothold, allowing carriage 22 to pass when pushing the button 21, thus advancing the whole set, making an effect lever the ejector rod 20 on the stop 25, causing a greater route of this one with a smaller pulsation, getting by both drop the case or container after the maximum travel of the button 21, returning the whole set to its original position when button 21 is stopped pushing, thanks to springs tensioners 26 located at the ends of the carriage 22.

Siguiendo en la figura 3, comentar la idea de haber colocado una pestaña 27 en el lateral derecho del monedero 4, según se mira de frente, con la finalidad de poder indicar el número de monedas que admite dicho monedero por medio de la fijación de un precio, el cual es visible a través de un hueco practicado en la puerta 2, siendo coincidente éste con la pestaña 27 una vez se ha fijado el monedero 4 en su posición.Following in figure 3, comment on the idea of having placed a tab 27 on the right side of purse 4, as seen from the front, in order to indicate the number of coins that said purse admits by means of the fixation of a price, which is visible through a gap made in door 2, this being coincident with tab 27 once it has set purse 4 in position.

Volviendo a la figura 1, podemos observar la disposición del cajón para las monedas 5, situado transversalmente respecto a la carcasa o cajón exterior 1, dicho cajón 5 está apoyado en sus extremos sobre unos soportes 7 los cuales están unidos a la carcasa o cajón exterior 1, este cajón 5 se haya situado justo debajo de la fila de monederos 4, recibiendo y almacenando todas las monedas que han sido validadas por estos.Returning to figure 1, we can observe the cash drawer arrangement 5, located transversely with respect to the outer casing or drawer 1, said drawer 5 is supported at its ends on supports 7 which are attached to the outer casing or drawer 1, this drawer 5 has been located just below row of purses 4, receiving and storing all the coins that have been validated by them.

Dentro de esta carcasa o cajón exterior 1, tenemos una primera rampa 8 que evita la caída del estuche o envase a otras partes de la máquina no deseadas, estando dispuesta transversalmente con respecto la carcasa o cajón exterior 1, sujetándose a ambos lados de este y situada justo bajo la caja de canales 3. Y la segunda rampa 9 por la cual el estuche o envase se desliza a la bandeja inferior de la carcasa o cajón externo 1.Inside this casing or outer drawer 1, We have a first ramp 8 that prevents the case or container from falling to other unwanted parts of the machine, being arranged transversely with respect to the outer casing or drawer 1, holding on both sides of it and located just below the box channels 3. And the second ramp 9 through which the case or container is slide to the bottom tray of the casing or external drawer 1.

Continuando en la figura 1, vemos como se une la puerta 2 mediante unas bisagras 10 a la carcasa o cajón exterior 1, en esta puerta 2 también se observan las diferentes ventanas, huecos y ranuras que se han practicado en ella, con el fin de anunciar, relacionar, fijar el precio de los diferentes productos, etc. Dicha puerta 2 abraza exteriormente a la carcasa o cajón exterior 1 cuando está cerrada, quedando sujeta por su parte derecha vista de frente, mediante unas cerraduras situadas en su parte superior e inferior de ésta, las cuales son coincidentes con los vástagos 11, uniéndose ambos mediante una rosca, formando así la puerta 2 y la carcasa o cajón exterior 1 un mismo bloque.Continuing in figure 1, we see how the door 2 by means of hinges 10 to the casing or outer drawer 1, in this door 2 you can also see the different windows, gaps and grooves that have been practiced in it, in order to announce, match, set the price of the different products, etc. Said door 2 externally hugs the casing or drawer exterior 1 when closed, being held by its right side front view, through locks located in its part upper and lower of it, which are coincident with the stems 11, joining both by means of a thread, thus forming the door 2 and the outer casing or drawer 1 the same block.

Y por último fijémonos en la figura 2, esta corresponde a la caja 3 con los canales de producto 12, en una vista posterior en perspectiva de los mismos. Aquí se puede apreciar mejor como están colocadas las guías 16, situadas en los soportes con sus pivotes 17 que le permiten desplazarse longitudinalmente, para poder fijarlas al tamaño del estuche o envase. A su vez estos soportes con sus pivotes 17 se hayan sujetos a la base superior 18 que forma parte de la misma caja de canales 3, al igual que a la base inferior 14, estando dispuestos en la misma vertical y mas o menos centrados con respecto al canal 12. La separación entre canales 12 viene determinada por unas piezas rectangulares dispuestas verticalmente y paralelas entre si y los lados de la caja de canales 3. El frontal inferior 15, a la vez que sirve para unir y dar mas consistencia a la caja de canales 3 con las piezas divisorias, así como ofrecer un apoyo a los estuches o envases, también tiene la función de servir como sujeción inferior de todo el conjunto dentro de la carcasa o cajón exterior 1, estando el otro apoyo en la misma caja de canales 3 en su parte superior, teniendo la carcasa o cajón exterior 1 dispuestos unos pivotes 13 a ambos lados de ésta y en la posición correcta para conseguir el idóneo ensamblaje de ambos, consiguiendo así un fácil alojamiento de esta caja 3 con sus canales 12 dentro de la carcasa o cajón exterior 1, quedando correctamente colocados y firmemente sujetos.And finally let's look at Figure 2, this corresponds to box 3 with product channels 12, in a rear view in perspective of them. Here you can see better as guides 16, located in the supports are placed with its pivots 17 that allow it to move longitudinally, to be able to fix them to the size of the case or container. Turn these supports with their pivots 17 have been attached to the upper base 18 which is part of the same channel box 3, as well as the lower base 14, being arranged in the same vertical and more or less centered with respect to channel 12. The separation between channels 12 is determined by rectangular pieces arranged vertically and parallel to each other and the sides of the channel box 3. The lower front 15, while serving to join and give more consistency to the channel box 3 with the pieces dividers, as well as offer support for cases or containers, It also has the function of serving as a lower support for the entire assembly inside the casing or outer drawer 1, the other being support in the same channel box 3 on top, taking the outer casing or drawer 1 arranged pivots 13 to both sides of it and in the right position to get the right one assembly of both, thus achieving easy accommodation of this box 3 with its channels 12 inside the casing or outer drawer 1, being correctly placed and firmly attached.
