Description

Uppfinnare: J R Cooksey Prioritet begard fran den 13 juni 1960 (Storbritannien) Uppfinningen hanfor sig till en forsaljningsautomat, i synnerhet en sadan som är lamplig for utminutering av sadana foremal som pappbehallare innehallande vatska. Inventor: J R Cooksey Priority requested from 13 June 1960 (United Kingdom). The invention relates to a vending machine, in particular one which is suitable for mining such objects as cardboard containers containing liquid.

Forsaljningsautomaten enligt uppfinningen innehaller ett lagerrum, som är delat i tva vertikala .avdelningar eller schakt med hialp av ett antal sparrorgan, som aro svangbart monterade ovanfor varandra. Varje sparrorgan har tva. armar, vilka for var sig aro i stand att uppbara ett foremal i den ena avdelningen, da den andra armen hindras fran att svanga in i den andra avdelningen av ett i denna befintligt, av ena armen pa narmast nnderliggande sparrorgan uppburet foremal, varvid anordningen är sâdan, att ett frail den ena avdelningens botten utmatat fOremal bringar vardera av de aterstaende foremalen att falla ned i ett lige, i vilket det uppbares av ett sparrorgan omedelbart under det sparrorgan, som tidigare uppbar fOremalet. The vending machine according to the invention contains a storage space which is divided into two vertical compartments or shafts with the aid of a number of ratchet members which are pivotally mounted one above the other. Each sparring organ has two. arms, each of which is capable of carrying a form in one compartment, as the other arm is prevented from swinging into the other compartment of a form present in it, which is supported by one arm on the nearest underlying ratchet member, the device being such that a frail discharged from the bottom of one compartment causes each of the remaining forms to fall into a straight line, in which it is carried by a ratchet member immediately below the ratchet member which previously carried the ratchet.

Fig. 11 shows a partial view of three storage chambers arranged next to each other seen from the side. Fig. 12 shows a view similar to Fig. 4 of a modified row form of the minuteing mechanism, equal parts having the same male reference numerals.

Enligt fig. 1-3 innehaller forsaljningsautomaten en f8r lagring av pappbehallare anordnad kammare, som begransas av sidovaggar S och S', mellan vilka en rad sparrorgan 1 samt tva man.ovrerbara sparrorgan 2 och 3 aro svangbart upphangda. Sparrorganen 1 aro forsedda med armar a och b, och sparrorganen 2 och 3 ha armar 2a, 2b, resp. 3a, 3b. Vardera av dessa armar bestar av tva sida vid sida med mellanrum anbragta flikar. According to Figs. 1-3, the vending machine contains a chamber arranged for storage of cardboard containers, which is delimited by side cradles S and S ', between which a row of ratchet members 1 and two maneuverable ratchet members 2 and 3 are pivotally suspended. The ratchet means 1 are provided with arms a and b, and the ratchet means 2 and 3 have arms 2a, 2b, resp. 3a, 3b. Each of these arms consists of two side by side spaced tabs.

Sparrorganen dela lagerkammaren i tva schakt A och B. Om sparrorganet 2 or last i det i fig. 2 visade laget, och sparrorganet 3 är fritt svangbar 1, pa samma satt som sparrorganet 1, kan en pappbehallare placeras i schaktet A och uppbaras av sparrorganets 2 arm 2a. Sparrorganet 3 halles darvid av denna pappbehallare svangt sa, att dess arm 3b hildar st5d f5r en i schaktet B inford pappbehallare. Denna pappbehallare kommer i sin tur att svanga det understa sparrorganet 1 sä, att deltas arm la bildar stod for en andra pappbehallare i schaktet A. Det är alltsa tydligt, att lagringskammaren kan fyllas med behallare sa, att varje behallare i det ena schaktet bringar ett sparrorgan 1 att uppbara en behallare i det andra schaktet. The ratchet means divide the storage chamber into two shafts A and B. If the ratchet member 2 is loaded in the layer shown in Fig. 2, and the ratchet member 3 is freely pivotable 1, in the same way as the ratchet member 1, a cardboard container can be placed in the shaft A and supported by the ratchet member 2 arm 2a. The spar member 3 is thereby held by this cardboard container pivoted so that its arm 3b is inclined to support a cardboard container inserted in the shaft B. This cardboard container will in turn pivot the lowest ratchet member 1 so that the delta arm 1a forms a second cardboard container in the shaft A. It is thus clear that the storage chamber can be filled with containers so that each container in one shaft brings a ratchet means 1 to support a container in the second shaft.

Om sparrorganet 2 svanges sa, att dem, arm 2a lamnar schaktet A fritt, medan armen 2b ror sig in i schaktet B, kommer den understa behallaren att falla at. Harvid frigives spanorganet 3, sa att detta i sin tur friger behallaren 4, vilken nu faller ned mot armen 2b. Vid sitt fall friger behallaren 4 det understa sparrorganet 1, vilket i sin tur bringar behallaren 5 att falla ned mot armen 3a, som nu av behallaren 4 Mlles i sparrande lage i schak- tet A. Samtliga behallare callaned ett 2— — steg, sã att de aro fardiga for nasta utminutering. If the ratchet member 2 is pivoted so that those arm 2a leave the shaft A free, while the arm 2b moves into the shaft B, the bottom container will fall on. The chip means 3 is then released, so that this in turn releases the container 4, which now falls down towards the arm 2b. In the event of its fall, the container 4 releases the lowest ratchet member 1, which in turn causes the container 5 to fall down towards the arm 3a, which is now filled by the container 4 into a sparring layer in the shaft A. All containers callaned a 2— - step, so that they are ready for the next minute.

Utminuteringsmekanismen är monterad kammarens sidovagg S och omfattar M. a. en platta 11, pa vars utsida en kamskiva 12 är monterad. Kamskivan 12 innehaller Ire profilerade 5ppningar 13, 14 och 15. Genom vaggen S, monteringsplattan 11 och kamskivan 12 stracker sig en spindel 16, vid vilken det manovrerbara sparrorganet 3 ãr fast. Spindeln passerar genom en langstrackt slits i kamskivan, och dess ena ande Sr bojd bakat i. en krok 18, som glider i ett bagformigt spar 19 i plattan 11 samt samverkar med den ena profilerade oppningen 13. Genom vaggen S, monteringsplattan 11 och kamskivan 12 stracker sig aven en spindel 20, vid vilken det manovrerbara sparrorganet 2 Or fast. Efter att ha passerat genom kamskivan Or Oven denna spindel bajd bakat i en krok 21, som stracker sig genom kamskivans profilerade .oppning 14 och ett bagformigt spar 22 i plat-tan. 11 samt vid sin ytterande uppbar en tyngd 23. The minimization mechanism is mounted to the side cradle S of the chamber and comprises M. a. A plate 11, on the outside of which a cam disc 12 is mounted. The cam disc 12 contains Ire profiled openings 13, 14 and 15. A spindle 16 extends through the cradle S, the mounting plate 11 and the cam disc 12, to which the manoeuvrable ratchet member 3 is fixed. The spindle passes through an elongate slot in the cam disc, and one of its ends Sr bent baked in. A hook 18, which slides in a rear-shaped groove 19 in the plate 11 and cooperates with one profiled opening 13. Through the cradle S, the mounting plate 11 and the cam disc 12 also extends a spindle 20, to which the maneuverable ratchet member 2 Or is fixed. After passing through the cam plate Oven, this spindle is baked in a hook 21, which extends through the profiled opening 14 of the cam plate and a rear-shaped groove 22 in the plate. 11 and at its exterior carried a weight 23.

For manovrering av utminuteringsmekanismen finnes en manOverarm 30 forsedd med en slits 31, genom vilken en tapp 32 stracker sig. Manoverarmen har t-va parallella vaggar 33 och 34 (fig. 5), genom vilka en tapp 35 stracker sig. Sasom framgar av fig. 3, halles armen svangd i ett at vanster lutande lage med hjalp av en fjader 36, som. Or fast vid tappen 35 och tappen. 32. Tappen 35 ingriper ett ungefar U-format spar 37 i monteringsplattan 11 samt ingriper Oven i kamskivans 12 tredje profilerade oppning 15. Sistnamnda .oppning 15 och sparets 37 byre skankel Oro utformade ungefar dubbelt sO langa som vad -som skulle vara normalt nadvandigt i andamal att mekanismen ej skall upphora att fungera pa grund av en mindre frigang melIan de rorliga delarna. livensa erhalles harigenom en rorelse. Vid derma utforings_form ingriper tappen 35 Oven i en returarm .38, som av en vid monteringsplattan 11 fast fjader 39 halles svangd medurs mot ett installbart stoppanslag 40, sasom visas i fig. 3. For maneuvering the minimizing mechanism, there is a control arm 30 provided with a slot 31, through which a pin 32 extends. The control arm has two parallel cradles 33 and 34 (Fig. 5), through which a pin 35 extends. As can be seen from Fig. 3, the arm is kept curved in one at the left inclined layer with the aid of a spring 36, which. Or attached to pin 35 and pin. 32. The pin 35 engages an approximately U-shaped groove 37 in the mounting plate 11 and engages the Oven in the third profiled opening 15 of the cam disc 12. The latter opening 15 and the barrel shank of the groove 37 are approximately twice as long as what would normally be present in and that the mechanism should not cease to function due to a smaller clearance between the moving parts. livensa erhares harigenom en rorelse. In this embodiment, the pin 35 also engages in a return arm 38, which is inclined clockwise by a spring 39 fixed to the mounting plate 11 against an installable stop stop 40, as shown in Fig. 3.

Da schakten Oro tomma, befinner sig spin.delns 20 anddel 21 i sitt ytterlage i det bagformiga sparet 22 tack vare pa.verkan av balansvikten 23, sasom bast franagar av fig. 4. Kamskivan 12 kan darfor fritt falla ned i sitt understa lage, som begransas genom att spindelns 20 anddel 21 ingriper mot ovre delen av .oppningen 14. DO kamskivan faller ned, medfor den tappen 35, och pa sa satt tvingas havarmen 30 att svangas till horisontellt lage, -varvid tappen 35 befinner sig mitt emot und- ieav det U-formade sparet 37 i monte- ringsplattan. Det Or alltsa tydligt, att kamAlvan Or glidbar i vertikal led i forhallande till monteringsplattan, och av denna orsak .Oro de vertikala slitsarna 17, 41 och 42 nod- vandiga med hansyn till spindlarna 16 och 20 saint det installbara anslaget 40. When the shaft Oro is empty, the part 21 of the spin part 20 is in its outer layer in the rear-shaped recess 22 due to the action of the balance weight 23, as the base of Fig. 4. The cam disc 12 can therefore fall freely into its lower layer, which is limited by the part 21 of the spindle 20 engaging against the upper part of the opening 14. The cam disc falls down, with that pin 35, and in this way the lever arm 30 is forced to pivot to a horizontal position, the pin 35 being located opposite the of the U-shaped groove 37 in the mounting plate. It is thus clear that the cam member is slidable in the vertical direction in relation to the mounting plate, and for this reason the vertical slots 17, 41 and 42 are necessary with regard to the spindles 16 and 20 and the installable stop 40.

I fig. 4 Or mekanismen visad i vilolage. Da lagerkammaren skall laddas med behallare, sker detta genom att behallare vaxelvis nedforas i de hada schakten. Om den forsta behallaren infores i ett schakt, som ej span-as av ett man8-vrerbart sparrorgan 2, exempelvis i schaktet B, kommer denna behallare att utmatas omedelbart, och i detta fall kommer alltsa den nasta, i schaktet A nedforda be-. hallaren att sparras av sparrorganet 2. 130- fyllningen av de 1)a.da schakten kan sedan fullfolj as. In Fig. 4 Or the mechanism shown in rest position. Since the storage chamber is to be loaded with containers, this is done by lowering containers alternately into the shafts. If the first container is inserted into a shaft which is not spanned by a manoeuvrable ratchet member 2, for example in the shaft B, this container will be discharged immediately, and in this case the next one, in the shaft A, will be discharged. the holder to be sparred by the sparring member 2. The filling of the 1) a.da shafts can then be completed.

DO den forsta behallaren stoder mot spanarmarna 2a, utsatter den spindeln 20 for ett vridande moment, varvid balansvikten 23 och kamskivan hojas nagot via den mot oppningen 14 ingripande anddelen 21, anda tills rorelsen stoppas genom att tappen 35 ingriper mot Ovre delen av det U-formade sparet 37. Av fig. 4 framgar, att manoverorganet 3 i detta fall fritt kan svanga ur vagen for den inkommande behallaren. Nar salunda en behal-. lare inforts, intager kontrollmekanismen (let. I fig. 6 visade laget, i vilket spindeln 20 Or IOs av kamskiveoppningen 14 och behallaren hOl ler sparrorganet 3 svangt at sidan Iran dessr centrala lage. When the first container abuts the scout arms 2a, it exposes the spindle 20 to a rotating moment, the balance weight 23 and the cam disc being raised slightly via the portion 21 engaging the opening 14, until the movement is stopped by the pin 35 engaging the upper part of the U-shaped shaft. formed the spare 37. From Fig. 4 it appears that the operating member 3 can in this case swing freely out of the carriage for the incoming container. Nar salunda and behal-. In addition, in Fig. 6, the layer in which the spindle 20 or 10 of the cam disc opening 14 and the container hold the ratchet member 3 pivots to the side of its central bearing.

Spindeln fortsatter sin rorelse, anda tills sparrorganet svangts over i motsatta laget, vid vilken tidpunkt den andra behallaren sparrats av sparrorganet 2. Som foljd harav paverkas spindeln av ett moment i riktning moturs via sparrorganet 2, som bringar spindelns anddel 21 att ingripa I riktning uppat mot 8ppningen 14. Harvid hoj es kamskivan, och spindelns 16 anddel 18 uppfangas Ater i 8ppningarna 13 och 19. I fig. 10 befinner sig maskinen alltsa i sitt laddade tillstand motsvarande det i fig. 6 visade laget, varvid den är fardig for utmatning av nasta behallare fran schaktet B. DO the spindle 20 passes its upper dodganqi:, low, saval affects the descending container as the balance weight 23 said, that the spinner part 21 is forced downwards towards the lower edge of the opening, whereby the upper cam disc ft is acted neat, as shown in fig. .en 30 is released and atherfores (1 ,,! the initial layer of its flatter, which in this - lining form Oven far helped by the spring the cam disc initiates its movement neat. P: da since the first container went ready the ratchet 3, it has at the shaft ten existing the second container projects the part 16 in a counterclockwise direction towards its central position, but this spindle has been the last opening 13. The cam disc does not move downwards, however, the spindle 16 is to move towards its central position, and db. the pressure is exerted against the upwardly curved part under the influence of the container acting on the ratchet member 3, as shown in Fig. 9. The spindle continues its movement, until the ratchet member is swung over to the opposite layer, at which time The second container is blocked by the ratchet member 2. As a result, the spindle is actuated by a moment in a counterclockwise direction via the ratchet member 2, which causes the spindle part 21 to engage in the direction upwards towards the opening 14. The cam plate is then raised, and the spindle 16 part 18 is caught again. in the openings 13 and 19. In Fig. 10 the machine is thus in its loaded state corresponding to the layer shown in Fig. 6, whereby it is ready for discharging the next container from the shaft B.

Fig. 11 visar, hur lagerkammaren kan anordnas i samband med en eller flera ytterligare kammare. DA den forsta kammaren är torn, kommer dess manoverarm 30 att vid paverkan rora sig tillsammans med tappen I det U-formade sparets 37 undre skankel och ingriper darvid mot den andra kammarens manoverarm. DA den andra kammaren är Loin, komma saval den forsta som den andra lammarens manoverarmar att rora sig i de mdre slanklarna av sina respektive U-formade sp5r under paverkan av den tredje kamnar ens manoverarm. Fig. 11 shows how the storage chamber can be arranged in connection with one or more additional chambers. Since the first chamber is a tower, its actuating arm 30 will, upon impact, move together with the pin in the lower shank of the U-shaped spar 37 and thereby engage against the actuating arm of the second chamber. Since the second chamber is the Loin, both the first and second maneuvering arms of the second chamber move in the lower slants of their respective U-shaped grooves under the influence of the third cam's control arm.

Vid den ovan beskrivna utminuteringsmemnismen Oro en havarm 38 och en fjader 39 anordnade att hjalpa returfjadern 36 att Ater-fora manoverarmen 30 till dess utgangslage. Returfjadern 39 drager havaramen 38 i riktning medurs, varvid manOverarmen tvingas it vanster i fig. 3. DA den forsta kammaren är torn i den i fig. 11 visade anordningen, och dess manovearm 30 tillsammans med tappen 35 ror sig i sparets 37 undre skankel, tappen 35 ej mot armen 38, varfor returjadern 39 forblir overksam i forhallande till aanOverarmen.

Trots att havarmen 38 och fjadern 39 utelamnats, fungerar mekanismen pa samma salt som ovan beskrivits. In the minimizing mechanism described above, a sea arm 38 and a spring 39 are provided to assist the return spring 36 to return the operating arm 30 to its initial position. The return spring 39 pulls the boom arm 38 in a clockwise direction, forcing the control arm to the left in Fig. 3. The first chamber is a tower in the device shown in Fig. 11, and its control arm 30 together with the pin 35 moves in the lower shank of the spar 37, the pin 35 does not rest against the arm 38, so that the return edge 39 remains inactive in relation to the upper arm. DA saval the first as the second chamber or tower, and only the third chamber contains containers, Or the alitendast first and second chamber realttive return springs 36 and not the whole force, s their manOverarms which must overcome by the influence of the third chamber {Upper arm. In practice it has been found that the sea arm and the spring 39 are not always necessary for the induction mechanism, and in the modified mechanism shown in the figure they are breastfed. In this embodiment, the locking disc 12 has been modified, in that the one-fill opening 13 has been replaced with a profile 43. The second profiled Opp-form and the shape of the corresponding joke 22 in the mounting plate 11 also have something. The lower part of the cam disc has been made narrower saintly continued with a laterally projecting part, in which the third profiled opening 15 is formed. The movement of the cam disc in the vertical direction is made possible by slots 44, 45, which co-operate with fixed stop stops 46, 47. Although the sea arm 38 and the spring 39 have been omitted, the mechanism operates on the same salt as described above.
