APPARATUS FOR STORING STACKED ARTICLES Filed Feb. 24, 1944 INVENTOR 11/. J7 6/553 8,6 P4434114, ATTORNEY Patented Sept. 9, 1947 APPARATUS FOR STORIN G STAGKED ARTICLES William J. Gibbs, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Application February 24, 1944, SerialNo. 523,665 4 Claims. (01. 312-71) This invention relates to devices for holding and automatically feeding stacked articles of approximately uniform size and weight. More particularly, it is directed to improvements in unitary storage and dispensing apparatus of the type shown in my Patent 2,251,876 issued on August Figure 1 is a view in elevation illustrating an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the device shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a foreshortened cross sectional view taken on lin III-III of Figure 2,
Figure 4 is a cross sectional view taken on line IV-IV of Figure 1.
As shown in the drawings, there is provided a vertical casing or housin I comprising base ID, a plurality of, and as shown four, vertically disposed rigid guide rods II secured thereto in any convenient manner and extending upwardly therefrom, and an "upper portion or collar I2. These guide rods II are spaced about 90 apart and are substantially parallel to each other, with the upper end of each rod being bent slightly outwardly away from the vertical center line of base III. The collar I2 is located exteriorly of the guide rods I I and is located a short distance below the upper ends thereof. The guide rods I I are rigidly secured in any convenient manner to the collar I2. The collar I2 has an outwardly extending rest or supporting flange I3 integral therewith.
Centrally located on the upper face of said base portion I I] and welded or otherwise secured thereto is a spring guide I4 which may be of cylindrical contour. The upper outer end of the guide I4 is tapered downwardly outwardly a material distance and about one quarter the length of guide I4, The outside diameter of the remainder of said cylinder guide I I is just slightly less than the inside diameter of the spring hereinafter described.
A metallic calibrated compression spring I5, has its lower end surrounding the guide I 4 and seated on the upper face of base I0. Mounted on the upper end of spring I5 is a load carrier, which as shown is a. disc I6 having a cylinder I1 integral therewith and depending therefrom. The outside diameter of the cylinder I1 is just slightly less than the distance between any two oppositely disposed guide rods II so that the load carrier is free for vertical movement in casing I. Centrally located on the lower face of disc I6, welded or otherwise secured thereto and depending therefrom is a cylindrical spring guide I8. The lower outer portion of the spring guide I8 is tapered outwardly upwardly from its lower extremity a material distance and about one quarter the length of guide I 8. The outside diameter of the remainder of guide I8 is just slightly less than the inside diameter of sprin I5, The upper free end of spring I5 bears against the lower face of disc I 6 and surrounds the guide I8, A plurality of stops I9 and preferably at least three of them and as shown four of them, are disposed about apart and are secured'to the cylinder I! and extend outwardly therefrom. They are located on the cylinder I'I midway between the rods I I. The vertical location of the stops I9 is such that the distance between the upper face of the disc I6 to the stops I9 is just slightly greater than the altitude of the collar I2. I
The spring I5 which I prefer to employ has the following characteristics. The ratio of the diameter of the spring to its length is between about 5 to 28 and about 6 to 28 and preferably between 5% to 28 and 6 A to 28. The spring I5 which has been found particularly suitable for my purposes has a ratio of diameter to length of approximately 6% to 28."The pitch of the spring I5 is preferably about one half its diamater and when a spring having a diameter of approximately 6% is employed, I prefer that its pitch be approximately 3 inches. I prefer that the ratio of the diameter of the disc I6 to the height or altitude, of the cylinder ll be no greater than about 3 to 1 and that the diameter of the disc I6 be greater than the diameter of the spring I5. I prefer that the altitude or length of each cylinder I4 and I8 be approximately one half that of the cylinder I I.
I have found that a device embodying the aforesaid invention and illustrated in the drawings is eminently suitable as a stacking and feeding device. The device may be supported on a counter 28 by inserting the same through an opening therein and having the flange I3 rest on the counter. With no load therein, the parts are in the relative positions shown in Figure 3, the carrier being in its uppermost position with the upper face of the disc'IIi being at least as high as the upper face of flange I3, and at least two thirds of a coil and as shown more than one complete coil of the spring I5 encircles each cylinder I4 and I8. The carrier is maintained in its uppermost position by spring I5 and the position thereof is limited by the stops I9 which abut against the lower end of collar I=2. A load of articles such as dishes or the like may be placed on the carrier and when placed thereon cause the carrier to be lowered against the action of the spring I5 whose coils are compressed towards each other and with some of them surrounding the cylinders I 4 and I8. The tapered portions of the cylinders I4 and I8 aid in guiding the coils on said cylinders. After the maximum number of articles have been fiat stacked, the uppermost article is in position to be easily removed. The spring I is so calibrated for articles of a given approximate weight that with a stacked load of articles on the carrier the uppermost unit will always be presented for removal from the stack at a predetermined level within the upper free ends of guides ll. Upon removal of a unit or units from the top of the stack, the spring l8 automatically expands to-raise the stack a given distance for each decrement in the weight of the load.
The construction hereinbefore described and illustrated in the drawings, is of. very simple design, may be readily manufactured and may be used over an extended period of time without servicing.
