Abstract
940,913. Vending apparatus. GLOSTER EQUIPMENT Ltd. May 25, 1961 [June 13, 1960], No. 20664/60. Heading G4V. A vending machine, particularly for cartons of liquid, has a storage compartment divided into two columns A, B by flaps 1, 2, 3 pivotally mounted above each other, each flap having two arms each of which is capable of supporting an article in one column when the other is held against movement into the other column by the article there, and as an article is dispensed from the bottom of one column the remaining articles drop to be supported by a flap immediately below the flap previously supporting them. The two lowermost flaps 2, 3, act as control flaps and their spindles 20, 16 extend through a fixed main plate 11 and a movable cam plate 12 and have turned-over ends 21 and 18 which respectively ride in slots 14 and 22 and 13 and 19 in the cam plate and main plate. An operating lever 30 spring-loaded towards the left slides on a pin 32 and carries a pin 35 which extends through a U-shaped slot 37 in the main plate 11 and a slot 15 in the cam plate 12. In the rest state, Fig. 3, the spindle 20 of the flap 2 is trapped by the slot 14 in the cam plate 12, which is prevented from rising by the engagement of the pin 35 of the operating lever with the upper face of the U-slot 37, and the spindle 16 of the flap 3 is locked by the article supported by the arm 2b of flap 2. When the operating lever 30 is moved to the right, against the action of its spring 36 and of a lever 38 loaded by a spring 39 and bearing on the pin 35, the weight of the carton on arm 2b rotates the spindle 20 to raise the cam plate so that the end 21 can move in the nowaligned slots 14, 22 to the opposite end of the slots, assisted by a balance weight 23. The article now discharges past the arm 2b and the arm 3b is no longer locked by an article but the spindle 16 of the flap 3 is prevented from rotating by the central hump of the slot 13 preventing movement of the end 18 in the slot 19 until the lever 30 is allowed to return under the action of the springs 36, 39. The cam plate then moves down again to bring the hump below the end 18 and the flap 3 and all the flaps 1 above it reverse so that the articles fall by one stage and the lowermost article is supported by the arm 2a. When both columns are empty, the cam plate moves down so that the operating lever is horizontal and the pin 35 is movable in the lower leg of the U-slot 15 and is clear of the lever 38 so that the spring 39 is ineffective. The two columns may be associated with other sets of columns with the operating levers arranged so that when the lever of an empty column falls to the horizontal position it abuts and can operate the lever of the next set of columns. In a modification, the lever 38 and spring 39 are omitted and the slot 13 is replaced by a humped top portion of the cam plate.
