Description

Non-aqueous dose vending machine for Mouth cleaning.

The present invention relates to a machine unit dose dispenser, in the form of solid sheets of rapid dissolution containing cleaning agents suitable for proper oral cleaning. The dissolution of the sheets is carried out in the mouth and with normal salivation.

Vending machines are known for the most various materials and objects, the Vending machines for beverages and tobacco packages. These machines basically consist of a storage area of the product, a device that accepts money in the form of coins or banknotes, a mechanism that connects the admission of money with the product dispatch and an area where the product is removed served. These machines may include other refinements according to the nature of the product they dispense as are systems of refrigeration, heating systems, safety systems or anti-theft and others.

In the field of vending machines the most close to the present invention are those developed for Tobacco tobacco In this section of vending machines cited the one described in document ES 2145712 which, in addition to being activated Coin allows radio frequency control. They have also developed inventions like the one described in the document ES 2167262 that allow to control the sale of the product and improvement coin selector systems. There are also inventions that they have perfected the systems of unitary extraction of packages stored in a warehouse such as those described in the documents ES 2145712 and ES 2007498. There are no known machines that sell a oral hygiene product as described in this invention.

On the other hand, the need for cleaning and sanitation that our cavity requires mouth and teeth as much as possible after each ingestion food. Normally cleaning operations are performed using the toothbrush and some kind of paste, gel or liquid that cleans, sanitizes, deodorizes or causes other desirable effects in the mouth. This practice forces to have the brush and the Oral cleaning material and with a suitable place to carry carry out the operation These availabilities are rarely possible. outside the private residence and it is necessary to have systems that fulfill analogous purposes and that are accessible in public places, work, leisure or any place where the Need for oral cleansing arise.

The present invention satisfies very suitably the need for a system for oral cleaning since The non-aqueous oral cleaning vending machine can be located in all the places where it is needed and the system of Cleaning does not require any additional items. All the operation only includes the proper drive of the present invention and introduction of the product dispensed in the mouth, where in contact with the saliva will dissolve completely leaving the oral cavity sanitized and with a pleasant sensation.

They add to the advantages already mentioned, the fact that the oral cleaning sheets, dispensed by the machine proposed in the present invention, can admit in its composition Multiple oral cleaning agents. Deodorizers, bleaches Dental, flavoring, flavoring agents and any substance useful for hygiene or oral health which would allow to use these machines in places and towns that need to improve the state of oral health or for health education purposes public

The following schematically shows the invention, mentioning the relevant elements for its operation, so the non-aqueous dose vending machine for Oral cleaning consists of a reservoir that stores the doses of oral cleaning in unit packages, a receiving system and coin validation, a command system to activate the product dispatch, a system that extracts the unit dose of the deposit and the dispensation in the area or where the product is removed and the box where the product is finally removed. The introduction of the appropriate currencies starts the cycle of expedition activating the command so that the user presses it and Receive the package with the oral cleaning doses at its interior.

Packages containing the cleaning dose buccal have a rectangular section and describe a laminar shape of varying thickness but this invention does not limit the geometry that the package adopt that will depend on market preferences and of the particular type of vending machine that is designed.

For a better understanding of this memory Descriptive is accompanied by the drawing represented by the Figure 1.

Figure 1 - Scheme of the relevant parts of the "Non-aqueous dose vending machine for cleaning oral"

In said figure 1 the different parts of the vending machine object of the present invention, These are the ones that are listed below:

one.

Deposit of oral cleaning doses packaged.

2.

Case.

3.

Receiving and validation system of coins

Four.

Drive control system of the expedition.

5.

Package delivery system with non-aqueous oral cleaning doses.

6.

Zone or box where the product is removed.

An example of preferred embodiment of this machine example mode no limitative. It is assumed that the machine requires electrical power to the operation of its electronic systems and electromechanical

The non-aqueous dose vending machine for oral cleansing is composed, as shown in figure 1, of a structural housing that houses most of its useful space, a deposit for cleaning dose packages buccal (1) that allows to accommodate these stacks and that to favor the securing and moving the packages has guides along its cavity and a mobile base where the packages rest.

The introduction of a currency activates the system electronic receiver and coin validation (3) that analyzes and Compare the detected characteristics of the introduced piece with the values stored in memory proceeding to the recognition and validation if the piece is a legal tender or its rejection if it is not. This device can be designed so you can or not return the change if the amount entered is not accurate. This component (3) can also admit as a variant to be a receiver and  validator of tokens or tickets or other element that the user Buy before using the machine and put it on functioning.

The validation operation activates the system command for dispatch (4), which allows the user to activate the button and thereby activate the system for issuing Packages with the product. The delivery system (5) is a unitary extractor of electromechanical nature so that your operation is based on the activation of an engine that associated with mechanisms that transform and drive movement cause the displacement and or inclination of the support base of the stacked packages, in this way the package that was directly on the base it is expelled to the box where the product is removed (6). The rest of the packages are retained by a mechanism of fixation that is activated simultaneously to the extraction of package.

As a variant to the delivery system (5), you can replace the motor with a coil with a sliding core of so that when the coil is activated the core generates a movement rectilinear that is used to move and tilt the base and achieve an effect similar to that performed by the engine, as has been described in the previous paragraph.

Although there are multiple variants in each of The main components of this invention, the description done is enough to understand the scope and advantages of this invention. The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements will be subject to variation provided  and when this does not imply an alteration in the essentiality of the invention and do not substantially modify the characteristics that are claim below.
