Definitions

  • a spring pivotal with the element has a portion extending over the front of the element to engage and support the penultimate article in the stack when the element is pivoted to discharge the lowermost article of the stack.
  • a second spring mounted in the chute at the rear of the element also serves to support the penultimate article.
  • This dispensing device fails to provide sufficient support for the articles located above the article to be dispensed and that, under certain conditions, several articles may be delivered during the course of movement of the bottom element.
  • a device for dispensing articles a vertical chute for a stack of articles, a pivotal bottom closure element for the chute, the element having an upwardly directed portion, said upwardly directed portion supporting the penultimate article of thestack during discharge of the lowermost article in the stack, first spring means at the front of the element, said spring means having a portion engaging the upwardly directed portion of the element and defining an article-discharge passage to the rear of the element, and second spring means, said second spring means extending into the passage and engaging the stack.
  • a slide member of comb-like form is located at the outlet of the device, which member is operated by an operating lever of the element to block the outlet whereby the articles are delivered singly.
  • the edge portion of the wall 3 adjacent to the shaft 4 is inclined upwardly to form a double-front wall 5.
  • a coil spring 6 On the shaft 4 there is mounted a coil spring 6; the opposite end portions 7, 7a of the spring 6 bear against the wall 3 and a central portion of the spring 6 is in the form of a loop 8 shaped to engage the front wall 5.
  • the upper edge 9 of the loop 8 forms a support element for the penultimate article 2b in the stack, when the wall 3 is tilted by means of an operating lever 26 in the direction of the arrow A to effect withdrawal of article 2a.
  • a guide plate 10 In the interior of the chute 1, there is provided, in the region of the rear wall of the chute, a guide plate 10, an upper, folded-back end portion of which is attached to the wall of the chute and the lower end portion of which is movable by adjusting means (not shown), in
  • the lower end portion of the guide plate 10 (FIGS. 1 and 3) has a folded-back portion 11, which, together with the rear end edge portion of the wall 3, defines a passage 12 for the articles when the wall 3 is tilted.
  • Brackets 13, 13a, 13b are provided in the lower portion of the plate 10, for the attachment of the central portion of a U-shaped spring 14, the arms 15, 15a of which engage in slots 16, 16a respectively in the lower portion of the plate 10, the arms 15, 15a extending into the passage 12 and being normally engaged with the lowermost article 2a, as indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 1.
  • the arms 15, 15a of the spring 14 are freed from engagement with the article 2a, and move into a position underneath the penultimate article 2b, so as to support the latter in conjunction with the upper edge 9 of the loop 8 of thespring 6, whereby to prevent the article 2b from entering the passage 12.
  • the spring 6and 14 act, in effect, to prevent tilting of the article 2b into the pas sage 12 which is open during the delivery of the article 211.
  • the lever 24 On its upper portion, the lever 24 has an elongate recess 27, in which the operating lever 26 is slidable, the lever 26 being rigid with the wall 3.
  • the slide member 19 When the wall 3 is in its horizontal position, the slide member 19 is in its retracted position to permit the article to be discharged through the outlet.
  • a bottom closure element pivotally mounted at the bottom portion of said chute, said closure element having a first portion extending into said chute for engaging and restraining the lowermost of said articles and having a second portion extending upwardly of said first portion and out of the path of movement of said articles in said chute, said element being pivotable about its pivot axis to move said first portion to a position which permits the discharge of the lowermost article from said chute through said discharge opening and to move said second portion toward said chute
  • first spring means engaging said second portion of said closure element and extending above the latter and out of the path of movement of said articles in said chute, said spring means being movable with said second portion and into a position within said chute in which said spring means engages a first portion of the penultimate article and restrains it during the discharge of said lowermost article, and
