The present invention relates to an automatic drink dispenser, comprising a receptacle suitable for receiving a predetermined quantity of drink intended to be then dispensed through an outlet orifice, said drink being brought into said receptacle by means of a pipe made of material. deformable, characterized in that it comprises at least one electromagnet provided with a movable armature capable of being moved from a first position to a second position by the effect of an electrical excitation signal, said armature being provided with thrust means which, when it is in said first position, are capable of being kept in contact with said deformable pipe in an area upstream of said receptacle, so as to deform it and shut off the supply of said drink to the latter, valve means being further provided adapted to close said orifice of the tank and connected to said movable frame by means of a kinematics prop re to be placed below said orifice when said frame is in said first position.

Des formes de réalisation dlun tel distributeur automatique de boissons, sont représentées schématiquement sur les dessins annexés dans lesquels
La figure 1 montre le distributeur en vue de côté partiellement en coupe. Embodiments of such a vending machine for drinks are shown schematically in the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 shows the dispenser in side view partially in section.

La figure 2 montre un détail du même distributeurgour une variante
Le distributeur comprend un réceptacle 1 qui est destiné à recevoir une dose de boisson pour ensuite la débiter.Figure 2 shows a detail of the same distributor for a variant
The dispenser comprises a receptacle 1 which is intended to receive a dose of drink and then deliver it.

L'alimentation de ce réceptacle s'effectue au moyen d'un tuyau déformable 2 disposé au-dessus de lui, la distribution steffectuant à travers un trou 3 ménagé sur le fond du réceptacle.The supply of this receptacle is effected by means of a deformable pipe 2 placed above it, the distribution effecting through a hole 3 formed on the bottom of the receptacle.

Le dispositif comprend un électro-aimant 4 doté d'une armature mobile 5 de l'extrémité de laquelle est solidaire un organe de poussée 6, constitué par un galet 7 supporté par une tige 8 reliée à cette même armature. Cet organe de poussée est normalement maintenu, par l'action d'un ressort 9, contre une zone du tuyau2 de manière à le déformer, ladite zone du tuyau s'appuyant contre une paroi 10 du chassies du dispositif.The device comprises an electromagnet 4 provided with a movable frame 5 of the end of which is secured a pushing member 6, constituted by a roller 7 supported by a rod 8 connected to this same frame. This pushing member is normally held, by the action of a spring 9, against an area of the pipe 2 so as to deform it, said area of the pipe pressing against a wall 10 of the expanses of the device.

L'autre extrémité de l'armature mobile 5 est articulée à une extrémité d'un levier pivotant 11, dont la partie centrale est elle-mEme articulée à une barrette 12 du châssis et dont l'autre extrémité est articulée sur un coulisseau 13, mobile axialement et convenablement guidé par un élément de support 14.The other end of the movable frame 5 is articulated at one end of a pivoting lever 11, the central part of which is itself articulated to a bar 12 of the chassis and the other end of which is articulated on a slide 13, axially movable and suitably guided by a support element 14.

L'extrémité 15 de cet élément est dotée de moyens de valves propres à obstruer l'orifice 3 lorsque le coulisseau se trouve dans une position prédéterminée par rapport à celui-ci. Ces moyens peuvent simplement comprendre un organe d'obturation 16 destiné à être disposé au-dessous dudit orifice de manière à le boucher, ou bien ils peuvent comprendre une portion de tuyau déformable 17 (figure 2), relié audit orifice et propre à être déformé de manière à être bouché, par ladite extrémité du coulisseau. Dans ce dernier cas, ladite portion de tuyau s'appuie, par un c8té, contre un rebord 18 du châssis.The end 15 of this element is provided with means of valves suitable for obstructing the orifice 3 when the slide is in a predetermined position relative to the latter. These means may simply comprise a shutter member 16 intended to be disposed below said orifice so as to plug it, or they may comprise a portion of deformable pipe 17 (FIG. 2), connected to said orifice and suitable for being deformed so as to be blocked, by said end of the slide. In the latter case, said portion of pipe rests, by one side, against a flange 18 of the chassis.

Le raccordement entre l'armature 5, l'organe de poussée 6 et la cinématique comprenant le levier oscillant 11 et le coulisseau 13 est réalisé de telle manière que lorsque l'armature, en absence d'un signal d'excitation de l'électro-aimant 4, se trouve dans une première position (celle de la figure 1), l'organe de poussée 6 8 s'appuie sur le tuyau 2 en le bouchant, tandis que le coulisseau se trouve dans la position de fin de course, vers la gauche sur la figure 1, de manière à laisser ouvert l'orifice 3.The connection between the armature 5, the thrust member 6 and the kinematics comprising the oscillating lever 11 and the slide 13 is produced in such a way that when the armature, in the absence of an electro excitation signal -magnet 4, is in a first position (that of FIG. 1), the thrust member 6 8 is supported on the pipe 2 by blocking it, while the slide is in the end-of-travel position, to the left in Figure 1, so as to leave hole 3 open.

En revanche, lorsque l'électro-aímant est excité, pendant un laps de temps prédéterminé et par des moyens de temporisation appropriés, l'armature 5 se déplace vers la gauche sur la figure 1, tandis que l'organe de poussée 6 s'éloigne du tuyau 2 en permettant l'écoulement de la boisson. Dans le même temps, le levier 11 tourne d'un angle prédéterminé dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre sur la figure 1, en déplaçant vers la gauche le coulisseau 13. L'extrémité de celui-ci, en poussant l'organe d'obturation 16 au-dessous de l'orifice 3 (figure 1) provoque la fermeture de ce dernier ou bien déforme (figure 2) la portion de tuyau 17, en empêchant l'écoulement de la boisson hors du réceptacle 1. De cette manière, le réceptacle peut être rempli avec une quantité prédéterminée de boisson, dépendant de la durée d'excitation de l'électro-aimant 4. Lorsque le signal d'excitation cesse, le dispositif est ramené, sous l'action du ressort 9, vers la première position de la figure 1, en autorisant l'écoulement de la boisson à travers l'orifice 3. On the other hand, when the electromagnet is energized, for a predetermined period of time and by appropriate timing means, the armature 5 moves to the left in FIG. 1, while the thrust member 6 s' away from the pipe 2 allowing the flow of the drink. At the same time, the lever 11 rotates by a predetermined angle anti-clockwise in FIG. 1, by moving the slide 13 to the left. The end of the latter, by pushing the closure member 16 below the orifice 3 (FIG. 1) causes the latter to close or else deforms (FIG. 2) the portion of pipe 17, preventing the flow of the drink out of the receptacle 1. De in this way, the receptacle can be filled with a predetermined quantity of drink, depending on the duration of excitation of the electromagnet 4. When the excitation signal ceases, the device is brought back, under the action of the spring 9 , towards the first position of FIG. 1, by authorizing the flow of the drink through the orifice 3.
