VENDING MACHINE.
Application filed July 25, 1924. Serial 110. 728,174.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES Fanmzro and. EnNns'r Fonrrrorrnnnn, citizens of the United States, and residents of Rome, county of Oneida, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vending lvfaohines, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to vendingmachines for dispensing paper articles.
The object. of this invention is to provide a vending machine for dispensing sanitary toilet seatcovers, such as. disclosed in our copending application, filed July 25, 192%, Serial No. 728,17 5. A further object. isto provide a coin operating device in which coins of various denominations may be utilized for operating tliis nachine, Comp ctness of form, accessibility,simplicityand" durability, are. amongthe objectsof this invention.
This invention resides principallyv in the. particular combination and arrangement-of;
parts as hereinafter fully described and: ClitllllQCl; reference being 11121-(18 to theacco'inpanying drawing, forming a part. hereof,-
and in which similar. numerals refer'to similar parts throughout the several views.
Fig. 1, represents an'exterior view of the. device forming the subject matter. of this invention.
Fig. 2, isa front. elevation of-the niechanism contained. within. the cabinet represented in Fig. 1.
Fig. 8, is 'a side. elevation of Fig. 2, the coin operating device being represented in sectional view" taken on 1ine'33' of Fig. 1. Fig. 4:, is a front elevation of a portion of. Fig. 3, and is.presentedparticularly to show the detail construction ofthe coinoperatino device. rs thisfigure.-,the front. plate 7 of Fig. 3;-is. not included.
Fig. 5, is an elevation of the rear side. of. the. coin operating device.
Fig. 6,is.a,detaildrawing-of the latching mechanism for the. drum SofzF-ig. 3; this is a sectional. viewtaken on line 6-6 of Describing this device. iii-'cletail, 9. isthe cabinet orouter "casing which contains; the.
mechanism shownin Figs; 2 and-131,. the same being provided with a door 10 through which said mechanism may be removed for repairs, etc, or for replenishingthe. cabinet with a new. stockofi-paper articles. Tliefiir ternal: inechanisiri consistsof two side. frames 1 1 and-12 ..whioli; aresjoineld together 1th rough the cross members 1s, 15, 16 and 17. The brackets 18 and 19 form part of the side frames 1-1 and 12, respectively, and are adapted to carry free to rotate, the spindle 20. The. feeding drum 8 is mounted in a manner free to rotate within suitable bearings 21 and 22, and the surface thereof is corrugated as shown at 23. A smaller drum 24tis also mounted free to rotate, and slide in the direction indicated by arrow 25, within the slots 26; only one of these slots appear. in the drawings, this being shown in the side frame 12 of Fig. 3, however the side frame 11 also has a slot of-the same order.
The smaller drum 251 isalso. corrugated upon its. surface, these, corrugations are adapted to mesh with the corrugations 23.
of the larger, drum 8, The smaller drum 2 1; is normally held in'rnesh with the larger drum Sthrough thetension springs 66-. The
connection between the. spring 66 and the.
the, side frame 12, andthe opposite end againstthepin 36 which is carried by the pawl Through this arrangement the pawl 3271s normally held in engagement in the notch 37 in the sideof. the drum 8. The drum Sis provided with a boss 38 the purpose of which will. be hereinafter fully explained.
The coin, operating device consists of casing. 44, forined'bv the body portion 3-9 which isprovidedwith channels 40 and'el, and thecovor plate 421 which is fixedto the body portion SQ'thrCugh screws 13. The cover plate is provided with a hole 67, and the main body portion with a tongue 15 which is, bent to protrude. slightly into the hole. isl as. shoirn particularly in Two bars tS-"and 1 7 "are fitted free to'slide lengthwise. in the channel 41 and are provided "with V shaped 'eiidsas shown at and it), 'i'esl'iectirely; these V shaped ends 'adapted to receii e' the coin and channel ll. A slot 51 is provided in the bar lto provide. clearance for the toneu r 'lhe bars l6 and 4-7 are normally held in the uppermost position as shown, through the springs and The upper end of being line i to the side frame 12 throne-h the pin it. aid the lower end to the bar h through the pin The upper end of spring 53 is hooked to the pin and the lower end is fixed to the bar it) through the hook 56.
A. slot 57 is formed in the l)0(l Y portion 39 through which the pin 571 protrudes, and. this slot limits the upward movement ot the bar l6 when the pin 57 contacts at the upper end thereof. The bar 49 limited in its upward movement when the tongue contacts with the lower end 01 the slot 51. These stopping elements should be arra properl to permit sutiicient space between the bar t and t? to for n a uniform continuation of the channel l0 as leadn I into the channel 4-1. The object being: that when a coin is dropped intothe channel 4-0, as indi :ated by the arrow Z18, the same will come to rest at the point shown and indicated by The articles of paper which are to be dispensed hv this machine should be formed into a roll as shown at 69. and should he ol' one continuous strip. This roll is carriwl h v thi spindle Q0 and the end of the strip is led around the drum 8, over the drum 24-, and over the cross member ($1.
The operation o't this device is as follows: A coin is dropped into the channel 40 from which it falls and rests as shown at 50. The ha moved downward by pressingon the end 71 in the direction indicated by arrow T2. The bar at? is thereby moved downward through the medium of the coin hen the coin reaches the hole 67, the tongue l5 forces the coin out from between the two bars 46 and -lT. and through the hole (17 from which it falls to 1 ac d the bottom of the cabinet. The spring; 53 nmnediatelv pulls the bar 47 back to its original upward position; and the spring pulls the i331 5 76 to its original position when the pressure released on the end 71. lt is apparent that through the above described operation, the coin has been deposited within the cabinet 9, and the bar l has been given one downward and return movement. This manipulation ot the bar 47 causes tie paper feeding: mechanism to operate however it to be observed that down vard movement of the bar 46 will not cause the bar LT to move downward unl a coin interrosed between these two ha as: shown at 710, tor in such case the pin will contact with the lower end of the sl 57 before the end l-S or" bar 46, will contact with the end 49 of bar 4C7, or at least before. enough movement is imparted to bar 47 to rtel by arrow T-l. Further downward movement of the bar 'EQlIt rottuion to the d 1 end T5 thereot contacting; wi 1 t1 This slie'h rotation of the drum 8 causes the slot PET to move out ol the pioper lot-a gagement with the pawl 32, so th. L when the lar l7 returns to its original position the pawl 32 will not latel and locl the drum t tion for enagainst nmvement. This slight otzuiou ol' the drum 8 also causes the end of the paper to protrude a certain extent out of the slot (3-8 1e cabinet door.
how after the coin has been drol ped into the coin operating device and the hi1 to has lreen pushed dowuv-xard, the individual now grips the protrudin z end 7 1) of t11e paper and pulls on it until the drum 9 has made one complete revolution; this brings the slot 3? again into eno'agelnent; with the pawl 3L", nd further rotating n1ove111ent ot the drum 8, or outward movement ot the paper is arrested. The paper should now be torn oil over the edge ($0 of the cross memher (1]. It is preterable that the paper he perloratwl at this point to tacilitate the teariuyr operatiou.
From the foregoing description it apparentthat with one coin this mechanism may be manipulated to dispense one paper article of a certain length, this lenpgth being equal to the circumference of the drum 8; and that coins of 'arious denomination may be utilized, providing o't courst that the stopping elements tor the bars 416 and l7. as heretofore described, are arranged to permit ,entl'ieient opening: letween said bars to receive the largest size coin which it desired to use: and that notch '37 is made 11'1all enough so that the pawl will he held out of engagement therewith after the slight movement which will occur through the use of the smallest coin it is desired to use.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is as follows 1. In a paper vending machine, the coin bination with a paper feeding" drum, of a. pawl arranged to lock said drum against rotation, and a slidable bar having a beveled edge, said bar being arranged to partially rotate said drum through lengthwise movement thereof. and said beveled edge being a1 armed to engage said pawl and rele: the same from said drum belore said ro tating movement thereof is eonmienced.
2. In a pa 3G1 vending machine, the com-- bination with a paper feeding drum having a slot in. the side thereof, of a boss on the llt) lit)
llll) ass side of said drum, a slidable bar arranged to contact with said boss and effect a par-- tial rotation of said drum through lengthwise movement thereof beveled edge on said slidable bar, a pawl arranged to normally engage said slot and become disengaged through the ilCulOll of said beveled edge when said bar is moved lengthwise for etlecting said partial rotation of the drum and a coin operation device arranged to transmit sliding movement to said slidable bar through the medium or a coin.
3. In a coin operating device, the C0111- bination with a casing arranged to receive a coin and guide the same through gravitation to rest at a certain fixed point of a slidable carried by said casing the end thereof supporting said coin at said certain fixed point, a second slidable bar carried by said casing above said coin when at rest, a spring normally pulling both of said bars together, and a second spring which normally holds the second said bar in its uppermost position.
4. In a coin ope 'ating device the combination of a casing adapted to receive a coin and guide the same through gravitation to rest at a certain fixed point and a hole in said casing large enough for said coin to pass through and situated at a point below that at which said coin comes to rest, a slidable bar carried by said casing the end there of supporting said coin at said certain fixed point, a second slid-Able bar carried by said casing above said coin when at rest, a tongue carried by said casing and protruding into said hole, said tongue also serving as a stop to limit upward movement o1 the first said bar, stops to limit the movement of the second said bar in opposite directions, a spring normally pulling both of said bars together, and a second spring which normally holds the second said bar in its uppermost position.
In testimony whereof, we affix our signatures.
