This will thus cause lateral movement of its respective latch means thereby rendering the same inoperable and permitting the shelf associated therewith to fall to its vertical nonsupporting position.

  • FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of an article dispensing apparatus constructed in accordance with the features of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an elevational view taken from the one side of FIG. I but with the side cover plate removed.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of the apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • FIGS. 4A through 4D are schematic views taken in the same direction as FIG. 2 and showing various stages in the operation of the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 through 3 there is shown a dispensing apparatus I having a rear partition 11, a main side partition 12 and an opposite side partition 12A. Mounted on the ap paratus are a plurality of shelves 13A, 13B and 13C. While only three shelves are shown in FIGS. 1 through 3, it will be understood that any number of shelves could be provided below shelf 13C. These shelves are of a length less than the distance between partitions 12 and 12A.
  • Each shelf includes a right side flange 14 and a left side flange 15.
  • a support rod 16 extends along the rear partition 1 1 with its ends 17 and I8 protruding through side partitions 12 and 12A respectively.
  • the rear of each shelf 13 is mounted on this rod 16 so that each shelf is mounted for rotational movement from a horizontal position to a vertical position.
  • Each rod includes a spring 20 acting between an enlarged portion 19 on the support rod and the inside of flange 14 thereby urging the shelf 13 to the right to an extent limited by a spacing element 21 located on the rod 16.
  • Each shelf also includes a latching means comprising a latch pin 22 rigidly connected at one end 23 to the bottom of its respective shelf 13 at a substantial distance along the shelf forward of the pivotal connection.
  • This rod 22 passes through the side flange l4 and its other end 24 is adapted to pass through an aperture 25 in the partition 12.
  • the rod 22 enters the opening 25 and thereby holds the shelf in the horizontal position. If the shelf is now urged to the left by a sufficient amount, the end 24 will pass to the left side of opening 25 and the shelf 13 will swing downwardly around rod 16.
  • a spacing element in the form of spring 26 is provided at the left side of rod 16 to limit the leftward movement of the shelf 13 after the shelf has moved a sufficient amount to remove the end 24 of rod 22 from the opening 25.
  • a deflector arrangement including a rear deflector 30 and a side deflector 31.
  • these two deflectors are formed integrally with each other and with an upper plate 32, the latter of which is welded or otherwise connected directly to rear partition 1 1.
  • a control means comprising a vertical control bar extending vertically alongside all of the shelves.
  • This bar includes a plurality of rearwardly extending arms 41. One arm is provided for each shelf.
  • FIGS. 1 through 3 three pins are illustrated, namely 41A, 41B and 41C. These are best illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • This bar includes elements 44 through (which will be explained in greater detail below) for oscillating this bar through a slight angle.
  • This angle is illustrated in FIG. 3 between the two arms 41B and 41C and the phantom line representations of the moved positions of the arms, namely 41B and 41C.
  • the effect of the movement of the arm 41C is to move the shelf 13C to the left as illustrated by the phantom line side flanges l4 and 15. This distance is sufficient for the end 24 of rod 22 to pass to the right-hand side of partition 12. Consequently, the rod 22 is no longer held in the horizontal position by aperture 25, and the shelf 13C swings downwardly about rod 16 to the vertical position as illustrated by arrow X in FIG. 3, and moved position 13C in FIG. 1.
  • a feature of the invention is the spacing between the arms 41. Assuming that the shelf 13C is in fact the lowermost shelf, then at the starting position the arm 41C will rest on the rod 22. Concurrently, the rod 418 will be spaced a distance H (FIG. 2) above its corresponding rod 22 on shelf 138. Similarly, the rod 41A will be spaced a distance 2H above its rod 22 on shelf 13A.
  • An actuating arm is considered to be in its operative" position when it rests on its respective pin 22.
  • swinging movement of the rod 40 will swing the arm 41C against flange 14 of the shelf 13C thereby moving this shelf to the left as indicated at 14' and 15 in FIG. 3 so that the shelf will fall in the manner described above, thereby releasing the article mounted on that shelf to be dispensed through an opening located below the shelves.
  • the control means after lowering a shelf, moves automatically to the next shelf which happened to be in the horizontal article-supporting position whether or not that is the next adjacent shelf.
  • FIGS. 4A through 4D In this illustration shelf ISD is provided in addition to shelves 13A through 13C. Further, referring to FIG. 4A, in the initial position only shelves 13A, 13C and 13D will be utilized to support articles. This might be the case where an extra tall article is placed on the shelf BC. In these FIGS., the partition 12 is not shown but the apertures 25 are indicated diagrammatically by circles.
  • FIGS. 48 and 4C the bar is once again oscillated. Arm 4lC' thereby moves shelf 13D to the left, causing the same to drop to-the position shown in FIG. 4C.
  • the bar40 then drops until the next highest shelf which happens to be in a horizontal position, namely theshelf -l3A, is engaged by its respective arm 41A. Sincethe shelf 13B wasin'a vertical position before the actuation of shelf 13C, then its pin 22 was alreadyout of the path of arm 4lB sothat arm 41B continues its downward movement unobstructed until the pin 41A engages its respectivepin 22.-Between FIGS. 4C and 4Dthe: bar is once again oscillatedthereby causing the shelf 13A torbe lowered and permitting the bar 40 to fall until its upper bent'portion 44 engages the fixed stop 51.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the mechanismfor causing the said oscillating movement of the bar 40.
  • the bar :40 includes-a horizontally bent portion 4.4 and an upper vertical'portion 45,
