FR2713002A1 - Coin-operated refrigerated dispenser for individually packed fresh products - Google Patents

Abstract

The dispenser has an interchangeable vertical storage (43) for the products to be dispensed. Various size stores can be fitted. The storage is refrigerated. A coin unit receives and validates coins, and allows operation of the delivery mechanism if correct payment is received and validated. The selected items are transferred to a collecting tray (40) when the user rotates an external handle (67) through one full revolution. The rotary motion is translated by a mechanism to linear motion that pushes the item from the bottom of the storage into the tray (40). The continued rotation of the handle tips the item into a collecting area, from where it can be removed by the user.

Description

 The present invention relates to a device for obtaining a quantity of fresh products with prepayment.

 The fresh portioned products are traditionally distributed in family quantities and not accessible in individual quantities and on bar counters after prepayment.

 The devices of the assembly of the invention make it possible to remedy these drawbacks.

 They indeed include: a coin mechanism, a vertical storage reserve, a refrigeration system with looping and a device allowing the individual quantity of fresh products to be taken out.

 The fresh products are collected in a container placed below the jug (9) and are therefore available for consumption.

 The operation of the device is operational as follows: the operator introduces a coin at (97). The coin passes through (26) and then descends inside (11). It will be housed in (92).

 At this point the operator can start to turn the handle (1) clockwise.

 After 40 of rotation the coin will unlock the remaining rotation 32o.

 During this rotation, the coin will leave its housing (92) by simple gravitation towards the coin reserve.

 The handle (1), the axis (67), the two axes (83) integral in the rotation effected by the operator's action on the handle, a pressure on the axes (83) which will push (4) . The pusher (4), pushing in front of it the row of product at the base of (43). The pusher takes the place of the products, while these fall and descend inside (9) and are collected in a saucer.

 When the point A of the two axes (83) will bring the point B to the level of B ', the row will be taken out, the axes (83) will pass above B', thus freeing the pusher for a return in an opposite direction attracted to (48). The vacuum left by the start of the pusher will be filled by the descent by gravitation of the following rows inside (43).
