England-England (GB) 81 + 6 ^ / 72 (71) General Foods Limited, Maxwell House, Ruscote Avenue, Banbury, Oxfordshire, England-England (GB) (72) Bryan Edward Charles Lack, Banbury, Oxfordshire, Alec Thomas Newman , Banbury, Oxfordshire, England-England (GB) (7 * 0 Oy Kolster Ab (5 ^) This invention relates to a dispensing device and more particularly, though not in its entirety, to the distribution of mugs or packages. Provided that any article to be distributed with the device according to the present invention is provided with a suitable tongue or border, this device can be used to distribute any articles or packages of suitable size. particularly suitable for the distribution of beverage cups and the device will be described according to this most suitable use.

The operating unit according to this equipment can be connected to any pulley dispensing device with a certain type of triggering equipment, for example coin-operated, and any conventional coin-operated triggering equipment can be used in connection with this dispensing device.

The invention described herein relates to a mechanism for individually dispensing mugs, comprising a base plate having a circular feed opening somewhat larger than the feed cups, four gears symmetrically spaced on the circumference of the feed opening in the base plate 60496, each having a first and a second, axially spaced a circumferentially zippered locking holder, the first holders cooperating to hold the cups and the second holders cooperating to hold the cups, a frame mounted on a base plate adapted to perform a rectilinear sliding movement with a pair of feeds each of which is in an ascending relationship with two gears and rotates them around the frame at the same time as performing a linear sliding movement, the hook consists of a handle-shaped protrusion on the frame itself, with a groove in which the handle is gripped by hand.

The invention is characterized in that it comprises a reciprocating anti-return mechanism mounted on the outward side of the frame, with locking paddles and retaining teeth, an upper plate placed above the sliding frame, includes a vertically positioned, elongate rod, a stem slidably supported by this elongate rod, having an extension that uses a hingedly supported scissin plate and a weight-loaded plate attached to the arm.

The invention will now be described, in accordance with the following example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which.

Figure 1 is an enlarged perspective view of the dispensing unit;

Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating a cup dispensing operation;

Fig ':. 3 is a background image of the recovery prevention apparatus;

Figure 4 is a plan view of the recovery prevention apparatus;

Fig. 5 is a side view of the pointing apparatus in the "full" position; and

Figure 6 is a side view of the pointing apparatus in the "empty" position.

The cup dispenser shown in Fig. 1 consists of a base plate 1 with a circular opening 2. The four gears 3 are mounted on the shaft pins 4 with the base plates symmetrically around the opening. Each gear has a first holder 5 or 5 'and a second holder 6 or 6'. The first holder is at a different point on the axis and in the circumferential direction in a different direction than the second holder. The stops 5 and 5 'and on the other hand 6 and 6' are mounted in such a way that they can be either adjustable! outwards, as may happen, with respect to the opening, so that they are so arranged that they can co-retain the mugs. This point is more fully illustrated in Figure 2, which shows the different positions of the holders at different operating hazards, but of which, for simplicity, only two are shown. However, these sections represent the entire operation cycle as follows: 3 60496 A. Handle fully in, other stops 6 and 6 'you like: Lei fins. mugs: B. The handle is completely out, the mug falls and you hold it: algae: first holders S and 5 '; C. The handle is in the "half" position, the Mug is about to fall, and D. The handle is inside again, the lowest Mug is falling and the next Mug is resting on the other holders for further action.

We will return to Figure 1 in which three toothed wheels rotate in the effect of the teeth 7, which are the two sides of the opening 2 and the frame 8, which is asennei.t.u drive channel 8 '. In Figure 1, the handle is fully inward and using the handle moves the frame linearly on the base plate. At the inner end of the frame there is a return prevention device consisting of two pins 9 mounted on rotating hooks 10 (see Fig. 4) connected by a spring 11. The i-brackets act on a double-sided latch 12 in such a way that the frame element can only make a complete movement inside. or outward, e.age may return before the movement is complete.

The base plate has an opening 13 which is provided with a lever operated by a normal coin-operated mechanism (not shown here).

Below the opening is a dispensing tube 14 attached to the base plate, through which the mugs pass after the dispenser has removed them from their detents.

The dispenser is part of a unit which also includes a lid plate 15 on which is a Mug rack consisting of a tubular body 16 with a sliding part 17 on which is mounted an arm 18 resting on a heavy plate 19. This plate is either in a cup 20 or on top of it (see Figure 5), and it ensures that the stack slides freely and straight each time the bottom cup comes off. The shaft also has an extension that triggers a tab 21 indicating that the device is empty. The pointing apparatus is described in more detail in Figures 5 and 6.

The dispensing device according to the present invention takes up less space than the previously known cup dispensing devices, whereby the dispensing device can be either narrower, even if the number of distribution points remains the same, or more distribution points can be placed in the same space as before. Also, the frame element and the [> c: rus-eiement.

Claims (1)

60496 Claim: A mechanism for the individual distribution of mugs, comprising a base plate (1) with a circular feed opening (2) which is slightly larger than the mugs to be fed, four gears (symmetrically arranged on the circumference of the feed opening (2) in the base plate (1) 3), each of which has a first and a second locking bracket (5 or 5 'and 6 or 6') spaced apart in the axial direction and arranged circumferentially in a circumferential manner, the first holders being co-arranged to hold the cups and the second the holders are co-aligned to hold the cups, a frame (8) mounted on the base plate (1), adapted to perform a rectilinear sliding movement and having a pair of crank rods (7) on opposite sides of the feed opening (2), each in rotation with two gears (3) and pivots these around the frame (8) simultaneously while performing a linear sliding movement, the actuator (8 '), which brings the frame (8) into a straight Liu movement and consists of a handle-shaped projection on the frame itself, with a groove which is gripped by hand, characterized in that it comprises an outwardly extending frame (8). a top plate (15) mounted above the sliding frame (8) and having a pointer plate (21) flexibly supported by this articulation on a side-mounted anti-return mechanism (10, 11 and 12) having locking catches and retaining teeth; a mounted cup stack supporting member (16, 17) comprising a vertically positioned elongate rod (16), a stem (18) slidably supported by said elongate rod, having an extension using a pointer plate (21) flexibly supported by an articulated joint and an arm (18) ) attached to a weight-loaded plate (19).
