JOSEPH wEIsNEn, on NEW YORK, Ex... AssrGNon To PEERLESS AUTOMATIC MACHINE v COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEV YORK.
VENDING-MACHINE.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH VVEIsnirma citizen of the United States, and resident of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide improved means to preventthe extraction or displacement from a vending machine of more than the proper number of articles for a given-coin, to the end that when the e ector has discharged, for instance, one candy or other article, no more candies or articles can be extracted untll the parts have been restored to their normal positions and a new coin inserted to permit operation of the ejector.
Myv invention comprises novel details of improvement and combinations of parts that will be more fully hereinafter set forth and then pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein,
Figure 1 is a face view of a vending machine embodying my improvement, the cover showing the parts in their normal positions; Fig. 2 is a substantially similar view showing the parts in the operative position, compartment 3 being omitted; Fig. 3 is a section on line 3, 3, in Fig.1; Fig. 4.- is a perspective view of the retainer for the articles; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the shutter. Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.
The box or casing 1 may be of any suitable construction and is shown provided with a coin-slot 1, and an outlet 1*. At 2 is a compartment within the casing and at 3 is a compartment beneath the coin-slot to receive the coins therefrom. 'The opposed walls of the lower portion of compartment 2 are open at 2*, 2 in line with outlet 1 for the exit therethrough of the articles 4:, one by one. A suitable weight 5 rests upon the stack of articles and is of greater depth than the articles so as not to, be pushed through the outlet 1 while resting upon the bottom of the box. A shutter 6 is guided within the box to aline with outlet 1 and to be raised and lowered as hereinafter explained. At 7 is an ejector, or plunger alined with outlet 1 to push articles 4 there- Specification-of Letters Patent.
being removed and parts being insections, 7
'rom. The ejector is shown provided with a head 7 and a stem 7* guided through a suitable bearing 8 of box 1. Ejector 7 is normally held retracted and locked from being pushed to eject articles 4: by means of a lever 9 pivotally supported within the box, as at 10, the lower end of said lever being adapted to engage shoulders 7 7 on one side of stem 7". Shoulder 7 is normally in such, a position as permits slightmovement of the ejectorbefore engaging lever 9, and then said lever prevents forward movement of the said ejector until the lever has been moved by a coin out of the way of shoulder 7 Lever 9 is normally pressed toward the ejectorstem by a suitable spring 11 co-acting with said lever and with the box. The

upper end of lever 9 is to be moved by a coin that is passed through a coin-slot I so as to move and hold the lower end of said lever out of line with notches 7 and-7 when an article is to be ejected. A stop 18 carried by box 1, which may be stamped out of the metal ofthe box, between which stop and is provided with a coin pusher or projection 1 1 and a slot 149* to receive the coin 12 from slot, 1, to coact with lever 9, to operate the latter to release the ejector. Lever 15 is arranged to coact with ejector 7, for which purpose said lever is shown pivotally connected at 17 with the ejector by a pin and slot connection. A suitable spring 18 connected with lever 15 or the part 14 and with the box, serves to normally hold the parts 4- and 15 retracted, thus serving to maintain ejector 7 in its normal position, the head 7 then resting against a stop 1 (Fig. 3). Lever 15 is shown provided with an arm 19 pivotally connected with shutter 6 by a pin and slot 20, 21, said pin being shown connected with extension 6 of shutter 6, and the latter is guided in asuitable guideway in the box as between the adjacent wall of the box and the web 1 thereof.
My improvements comprise means for retaining the stack or articles 4 above the lowermost article, in position when ejector 7 has been pushed forward to eject the lowermost 40 the stack of'articles above the lowermostar- I .cated" within and along one side 'Wall of -articlel To this end I provide a retaineri2 5 shown in the form of a' strip of metal locompartm'ent 2, on the side above opening theform of'a pin guided in an opening 2 in 'wall 2 mm outer end 26 of projection 26 being shown tapered or beveledto engage i the beveled edge 6 of shutter 6, which edge in the normal positions, shown in Fig. 1, the" lies normally below said pin 26. The "arrangement is such that when the parts are lowermost article 4 will rest'upon thebot-' tom of the box, the shutter 6 will be'low V ered to close outlet 1*, the beveled edge 6* of the. shutter willb e belowrprojection" 26 and retainer 25'will lie "against thewall 2,
: so that the teeth .25 of the retainer will not interfere with the articles 4; When the coin is inserted inslot 1 and lever 9 is moved. outiof line with the shoulders 7, 7 of stem,
; 7 ,the. ejector-may be-pushed and thereupon lever 15 will be operated and its arm 19 will Y riseand liftthe shutter, and assoon as the beveled edgefi 'of'the shutter engages pro- .jectionj26,the retainer 25 will be pnshedto' the right in Fig. 2 toward the'articles 4t and theteeth 25 of the retainer'will engage the article 4 next above the lowermost article and push said article against the opposite wall 29ofcompartment 2, and thus suspend "ticle, during which time the ejector may push the lowermost article forwardlyto he grasped, as inFig; 2, theejector'then rest ing below the stack of articles. In this position of the parts, sincethe stack of articles are positively;- retained in position Within compartment 2,"the surreptitious extracting V of the articles is'prevented. When the ejector is released spring-'18, by pulling upon lever 15,, swings the latter and restores the ejector to its normal position, and since the edge G of the shutter descends below projection 26 the retainer will spring back from r the articles 4 and permit the descent of the articles to position shown in Fig. 1, ready Gopies'ot this patent may be obtained for'five cents each, by addressing 1 Washington, D.
