Abstract

The present invention allows a simple way to deliver a product in a vending machine that can be of all types, for example bread, bottled milk or brick, eggs, vegetables. The device according to the invention makes it possible to store and deliver a product in a very simple, reliable manner and without complex technology. Indeed, the system according to the invention is composed of shelves, which may each contain a product to be dispensed. They are arranged one above the other and move vertically. A location on which an ejector is implanted is dedicated to the delivery of the product. This ejector can be articulated about an axis or sliding with position memory. That is to say, it resumes its position thanks to a spring or a counterweight. When the shelves move, the one that precedes this location moves the ejector away. When it reaches the location of the ejection, an opening in the shelf passes the ejector which then takes its place by the position memory effect and pushes the product at the same time to a delivery chute. The dimensions of the shelves and that of the ejector can be adapted to the size of the product to be distributed. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for vending machines of all types of products.

Description

deliver a product in an automatic dispenser which can be of all types, for example Bread, bottled or brick milk, eggs, vegetables.

The device according to the invention makes it possible to store and deliver a product in a very simple, reliable manner and without complex technology. Indeed, the system according to the invention is composed of shelves, which can each contain a product to be distributed. They are arranged one above the other and move vertically. A location on which an ejector is installed is dedicated to the delivery of the product. This ejector can be articulated around an axis or sliding with position memory. In other words, it returns to its position thanks to a spring or a counterweight. When the shelves move, the one preceding this location pushes the ejector aside. When it reaches the location of the ejection, an opening in the shelf lets the ejector pass, which therefore takes its place again by the position memory effect and at the same time pushes the product towards a delivery chute. The dimensions of the shelves and that of the ejector can be adapted to the size of the product to be dispensed.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended for automatic dispensers of all types of products.

The present invention allows in a simple way to deliver a product in an automatic dispenser which can be of all types, for example Bread, milk in bottle or in brick, eggs, vegetables.

The shelves are arranged one above the other and move vertically from bottom to top in the case of the drawing, but the direction can be reversed by reversing the direction of the mechanism. The system can therefore also function by moving the shelves up and down. When the shelves move, the one preceding this location pushes the pusher away. When it reaches the location of the ejection, an opening in the shelf allows the pusher to pass, which therefore takes its place again by the position memory effect and at the same time pushes the product towards a delivery chute. Can therefore operate with a single motor.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

Phase 1 represents in section the shelves, the ejector and the delivery chute with a product to be distributed on the shelf before ejection.

Phase 2 represents in section the shelves which move from bottom to top and the shelf marked 3 moves the ejector apart.

Phase 3 represents in section the arrival of the shelf which contains a product at the ejection position and whose opening lets pass the ejector which takes its place and ejects the product towards the delivery chute.

Referring to the drawing of phase 1, the device is shown in section with 3 shelves, the blue of which is 3, the red shelf of 2, the ejector, 1.

During phase 1, the blue shelf marked 3 precedes the position of. The red shelf marked 2 is in the position where the product is delivered.

Between phase 1 and phase 2, the shelves have moved from bottom to top, the blue shelf mark 3 by moving apart the marker ejector 1. The ejector can be articulated around an axis or else sliding .

Between phase 2 and phase 3, the shelves continued to move from the bottom up until the blue shelf mark 3 reaches the product ejection position, at which the pusher mark 1 returns to its position initial thanks to the restoring effort and passing through the opening of the shelf provided for this purpose. Passing through this opening, the marker ejector 1 pushes the product into the delivery chute.

Claims (5)

CLAIMS. 1) Device for delivering a product to an automatic dispenser, characterized in that it comprises shelves, the pins (2) and (3) of which consist of an opening, that is to say a solid part in order to repel the ejector (1), the initial position of which is maintained by a spring or a counterweight, during the advancement of the shelves and of its open part in order to let the reference ejector (1) pass when the reference shelf (3 ) arrives at its ejection position. The reference ejector (1) then pushes the reference product (5) deposited in the reference shelves (2) and (3) into the chute. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the ejector (1) is articulated about an axis or sliding and is in position memory, by a spring or a counterweight which applies a return force to it. 3) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the system shelves whose pins (2) and (3) repel the ejector (1) during their advance. 4) Device according to claim 1 in that an opening to let the ejector (1) pass through the shelves including the pins (2) and (3) when one of them reaches the ejection position (3). 5) Device according to the preceding claim, in that the ejector (1) pushes the product towards the delivery chute. 1/3
