J. E. KENKEL ADVERTISING DEVICE FOR DISPENSING MACHINES Oct. 16, 1928. 1,688,278

Filed Feb. 3, 1927 Tj E 10 I'NVENTOR WITNESSES T z; Jbhn/E. Kenkel I BY W {2% y ATTORNEY withtho cam portion 28, and the opposite end ofthe lever is acted on by .the trough 12 of the member 11 when the latter is raised in the toothpick dispensingoperation. The end of the lever 30 which coacts with the cam portion 28 has limited downward movement. A screw 31 adjustable in a lug 32- carried by the wall Qllimits the downward movement of the end of the lever 30 which coacts with said cam portion 28. The said endof thelever30 is heavier than the oppositee'n 'chand thereforehasa normal tendency tofrest on the screw 31 From the foregoing it will be understood,

that rwhen the" member 11-. is manipulated by pulling upwardly on the endfll, the trough ll will bear down on the related end of the lever 30.1 As a consequence the opposi te end of the lever :30 will coact. with the cam portion 28, causing; the pendulum 26 to move toward the member 23, and as a result, the pin 29 will bear on the member 23' causing the latter to flex to a position indicatedindotted lines ,in Fi g. 4:. When the member 11 is released, .it will drop to its normal position, shown in full lines in continue to vibrate thereby causing the object- 2:2 to move alternately inopposite directions, Each time the delivery member 11 is manipulated, the object 22w-ill be caused to move in a similjarjmanner, therefore a1},

ways attracting a persons attention }to the advertising matter -a )pearing on the face portions of theplat'e 17. The value of the dispensingmachine to which the device of the present invention is attached, will be enhanced, as 1t will serve not only for CllS- pensing the goods w thmthe same but. Wlll also serve as an advertisingmedium It is to 'be understood that the invention isnotrestricted to the precise arrangement of 'parts'shown and described, as details, of

construction may be modified and rear rangedwithout departing from thespirit of the invention, the .scopel'of whichis limited only by the termslof the appended claims.

I claim: I 1. An advertising device compris nga cas ing having a face for, advertising matter,

3 in response to the a flexible member secured at one endto said casing, and object at the" free end of the flexible member adjacentsaid face, said object movable with the flexible member when thegla'tter =is iflexed to attract attention to said face, the object being moved alternately in opposite directions when the flex-- ible member is flexed, and means for flexing said flexible member.

2. The combinationwith a dispensing machine including a manipulator; of .a casing having a face for advertising matter, an

element arranged adjacent said face to be freely oscillated to attract attention thereto; and means'between said nanipulatorand element causing the oscillation of said element manipulation of the manipulator.

3. The combinationwitha dispensing machine including a lever; of a casing-having a face for, advertising matter, an element arranged adjacent said face to be freely oscillated to attract attention thereto, and

means'between said lever and element causing the oscillation of said element in response to the manipulationof the lever.

fl. The-combination with a dispensing ma chine including a manipulator; of a plate adaptedto carry,anadvertisement, aflexiblc member fixed at one end "having anobject on-its free end, said objectbemg movable with the flexible member when the latter is flexedto attract attentionto said plate, said object being movable adjacent an opening in said'plate, and means between the manipulatorand the flexible member causing the flexible member to flexin response to the manipulation of the manipulator, said flexible member being a dapted to react in consequence of thejinitial'flexingto cause the object carried by the flexible; member to move alternately in opposite directions.

5. The combination with a dispensing machine, of a plate having an opening, ameniberfixed at one end and adapted to vibrate and having .an object n thereon, said obj ectdisposed adjacent the opening in the plate adapted to carryadvertising.matter, and meansincluding a delivery membervof the machine operable'to cause thevibration of said memberto cansethe object carried thereby to 7 move alternately in opposite directions.
