Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a pop dispensing device for a vending machine, etc., and particularly relates to a novel improvement for obtaining a device having a simple configuration, not occupying space, and having a vertical push-type configuration.

There are various types of this type of tip discharging device that have been used in the past, but for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 38-11014 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 39-23624,
The mechanism is complicated, and most of them are rotary type, making the mechanism large, making it difficult to install on small models, and having the disadvantage of being expensive.

This invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the aim was to provide a compact and effective ejection device, in which an actuating plate and a roller are attached to a slide plate that can be freely pushed down on the main body. By pushing down this slide plate, the actuating plate operates the locking member to lock the upper tip of the stack of tips, and the roller operates the release member to lock the lowest tip. It is characterized by a configuration that allows it to be released.

This invention will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the device for dispensing chips of this invention has a main body 1 in the shape of a rectangular tube, and can house a stacked product 2 in which a large number of chips are sequentially stacked.

A slide plate 3 is mounted on one side (preferably the front side) of the main body 1, and for example, pins la and la (second
The slide plate 3 is slidable along the front surface of the main body 1 by engaging with the elongated hole 3a provided in the slide plate 3, and the push button 3b attached to the slide plate 3 is activated in the direction of arrow A (in the direction of arrow A). It can be pushed down as shown in Figure 2).

The slide and idle plate 3 has an actuating plate 4 and a roller 5 mounted on its front side, and it is preferable to have one pair of these on the left and right sides, and the actuating plate 4 is roughly L-shaped as shown in FIG. One side 4a of the L is fixed to the slide plate 3, and the other side of the L serves as an actuating piece 4b that extends obliquely along the side surface of the main body 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the roller 5 is located near the side edge of the slide plate 3 like the actuating plate 4, and the roller 5 is below the actuating plate 4.

The main body 1 is further provided with a locking member 6 and a release member 7, and the locking member 6 has a structure in which a bent portion 6a and a locking portion 6b are integrally formed, as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bending part 6a is arranged so that it can engage with the actuating piece 4b attached to the slide plate 3, and the locking part 6b is located in the upper part of the top stack 2 in the main body 1 than the lowest part. It is pivotably supported on the main body 1 via an integral lug 6C on a shaft 1b at a position where it can engage with a tip, for example, a tip 2b.

As shown in FIG. 7, the release member 7 includes a retaining plate 8 and a supporting plate 9.
The holding plate 8 has a holding plate 8a and a discharging portion 8b, which are substantially perpendicular to each other in the illustrated example. The support plate 9 is pivoted to the main body 1 by a shaft 10 so as to be able to engage with the tip 2a and so that the inner end 9a of the support plate 9 is located in the movement path of the roller 5 of the slide plate 3.

A coil spring 11 is stretched between the outer end 9b of the support plate 9 and a fixed point 1C at the bottom of the main body 1, and serves to return the slide plate 3 as described later.

Next, the operation of the tip discharging device configured as above will be explained.

First, when the cot stack 2 is stored in the main body 1, the outer end 9b of the support plate 9 is pulled inward by the coil spring 11, as shown on the right side of FIGS. 2 and 3.
A holding portion 8a of the holding plate 8 projects approximately horizontally into the main body 1 via a shaft 10, and engages with the lower side of the upper edge of the lowest tip 2a to hold the entire tip stack 2 within the main body. do.

At this time, the locking member 6 is biased by the wire spring 12 (FIG. 2), and the locking portion 6b is in a position where it does not engage with the tip.

When the slide plate 3 is pushed down in the direction of the arrow A by the push button 3b from the above release standby state, the actuation piece 4b of the actuation plate 4 fixed to the slide plate 3 and the bent portion 6a of the locking member 6
are engaged, the locking member 6 is pivoted in the direction of arrow B, and its locking portion 6b projects into the main body 1, and the locking portion is placed above the top tip 2b above the bottom of the top stack 2. Engage the underside of the edge.

Further, by pressing down the slide plate 3, the roller 5 on the slide plate 3 engages with the inner end 9a of the support plate 9, and rotates the support plate 9 in the direction of arrow C against the action of the coil spring 11. make it move.

When the support plate 9 rotates, the retainer plate 8 integrated with it also rotates around the shaft 10, and its retainer 8a separates from the tip 2a, and as the rotation progresses, as shown in the left half of FIG. The release part 8b engages the upper side of the upper edge of the tip 2a and pushes the tip downwardly, causing it to fall away from the tip stack.

When the tip release operation is completed in this way, press button 3b.
When the downward force is removed, the sliding plate 3 returns to the position shown in FIG. 2 due to the tensile action of the coil spring 11 between the support plate 9 and the main body 1, and is ready to release the next tip.

Since the tip release device according to this invention has the above-mentioned structure and operation, the tip can be extremely removed by the downward sliding of the slide plate and the alternating rotation of the locking member and the retaining plate. Can be easily held and released.

The release device has an extremely simple configuration and can be made small, so one release mechanism can be attached to one Kotup storage box, and 1 to 5 types of Kotup can be placed horizontally in a vending machine. They can also be installed in rows, and the vending machines themselves can be made very compact, providing many benefits.
