Application July 23, 1946, Serial No.
2 Claims. (Cl. S12-83) 1 This invention relates to dispensing cabinets, and more particularly to that type adapted to hold cigarettes in a closed receptacle until ready for use and dispense them one 'at a time as and when wanted.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a simple and practical dispensing machine of the above character having relatively few parts which may be inexpensively manufactured and assembled. A further object is to provide a device of the above mentioned character which may be easily operated with one hand and dispense a single cigarette at a tim-e. A further object is to provide a device of the above character which willV be made of' transparent material, easily cut, machined and shaped as desired, and which will be automatic in its operation of dispensing the cigarettes. A further object is to provide a simple and compact case for holding substantially two standard packages of cigarettes so that it need not be so frequently refilled. Other objects will bein part obvious from the annexed drawing and in part hereinafter indicated in connection therewith by the following analysis of this invention.
This invention accordingly consists in the features of construction, combination of parts, and in the unique relation of the members and in the relative proportioning and disposition thereof, all as more completely outlined herein.
To enable others skilled in the art fully to comprehend the underlying features of this invention, that they may embody the same by the modifications 1n structure and relation contemplated by the invention, a drawing depicting the preferred embodiment of the invention forms a part of this disclosure, and in such drawing like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views Figure 1 is a vertical section through the container substantially on the line I-I, Figure 5, with the parts in normal position. Figure 2 is a similar view with the parts in discharge position. Figure 3 is a sectional view substantially on the line 3-3, of Figure l, and Figure 4 is a sectional View substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure l. Figure 5 is an isometric view of the parts shown in Figure 1.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, and particularly to Figure, I indicates a base, substantially rectangular in shape, upon which the dispenser is mounted. The base is provided with two transverse members 2, adapted to hold the dispenser parts slightly above the level of the table and tending to lessen the possibility of as shown in Figure marring the table top as the dispenser may be moved thereover, rihe dispenser itself comp-rises the vertically disposed rectangular cabinet 3, pivotally supported from a horizontal transverse bar 4, provided at one end with a coiled spring 5, the opposite ends of which spring engage the dispensing chamber and the vertical side supports at points 1 and respectively, the spring being coiled anound the horizontal rod d, thereby to normally urge the receptacle or dispensing chamber 3 into the position shown in Figure 1, after having been moved toFigtu'e 2 position, as when dispensing. As to the side member 8, this is provided a similar part I6 upon the opposite side, 5. 'All of these moving parts are made of transparent plastic material such as incita which material may be easily molded and tool shaped as desired, and by means of a solvent such as acetone the several parts may be adhesively secured together as desired, as well as easily worked by means of suitable tools as may be necessary, and also subject to decoration or painting as may be desired. Another one of the objects in using transparent material is to show when the receptacle needs to be refilled, and to allow the horizontal lines of the cigarettes themselves to become part of the design of the machine. It may be preferable, however, that screws `or screw-eyes be employed to form a more substantial device than will normally result from use of the adhesive method.
At the base of the receptacle 3 there is provided a trough Il, which is provided with a horizontal separator sheet I2 at its top, as shown in Figure 1. Thus, when the receptacle 3 is moved towards the right as shown in Figure 2, the separator l2 will out in between the bottom cigarettes, and the bottom cigarette in the receptacle will drop out between the bottom of the receptacle I3 and a transverse bar I4, thereby providing a discharge opening as clearly shown in Figure 2, `out through which the cigarette passes and falls into the trough II, as clearly shown in Figure l, and from whence it rolls down into the trough as appears in Figure 2. The :main body of cigarettes ywithin the dispenser 3 is held upwardly by the separator plate i2, while this discharge takes place, and when the receptacle 3 moves back to the vertical position shown in Figure 1, then the cigarettes contained in the chamber move as may be necessary to be ready to dispense the next cigarette.
The top of the cigarette chamber 3 is provided with a lid I5, normally acting as a cover as shown in Figure 1, which will permit la free upward swing as shown by dotted lines, so that the chamber may be reilled. The forward and upper projecting edge of lid I serve the same purpose as its leading edge contacts front wall of receptacle.
While the operation of this dispenser is clear from the above, it may be briefly restated as articles will assume the positions shown in Figure 1. Then, by merely swinging the receptacle 3, the separating plate I2 will separate the cigarette at the extreme bottom from those above it, as shown in Figure 2, whereupon the bottom cigarette drops down between the horizontal parts rettes immediately above the separator I2. This rolling action transmits enough agitation to the other cigarettes to disrupt any tendency to jam. Separator I2 is mounted at a suilcient incline to allow last cigarette in receptacle to roll into dis- As the receptacle swings backwardly under the action of the spring 5, another cigarette will drop into discharge position for the next operation.
It is thus seen that the present invention comprises a simple and practical cigarette dispenser,
although it 1. An apparatus for dispensing cylindrical objects comprising in combination a base, at least obstruct, when said chamber 1s 1n a vertical position, that portion of the bottom of the chamber not obstructed by the horizontal dividing plate and vertical wall.
