  • Each dispensing unit includes a lever 110 formed with a bifurcated hub 112, by means of which the lever is supported for pivotal movement on a pivot pin 114 carried by brackets 116 and 118 secured to the frame.
  • I provide one pivot pin 114 for the two right-hand units and another pivot pin 114 for the two left-hand units.
  • a spring 120 secured at one end to a spade bolt 172 located in a lever stop I74 and at the other end to a tab 176 on flange 86 normally biases the lever to a position at which lever stop 174 engages the underside of the base 84.
  • a set screw 178 carried by the lever at a location to the left of the pivot pin 114 as shown in FIG.
  • Lugs 182 at the end of the lever remote from its handle carry set screws 184 adapted to engage the actuators 106 of the valves 102 and 104 when the lever is moved from its home position to its actuated position to open the two valves.
  • I arrange the three right-hand units as viewed in FIG. 2 to dispense three carbonated beverages of different re spective flavors.
  • the left-hand unit is adapted to dispense an uncarbonated beverage of a fourth flavor.
  • I connect the outlets of the valves 102 of each of the units 96, 98 and 100 to a-common carbonated water outlet line 186 leading to the nozzle 92.
  • the inlets to these valves are supplied from a manifold 187 the input of which is provided by line 60.
  • Respective lines 192, 194 and 196 connect the outlets of the valves 104 of units 96, 98 and 100 to the nozzle 92.
  • I connect the inlet to the valve 102 of the unit 94 to the fresh water line 44 and connect the outlet of this valve to the nozzle 92 by means of a line 188.
  • a line 197 connects the outlet of the syrup valve 104 of unit 94 to the nozzle 92.
  • one form of electrical circuit which may be used in connection with the manual dispensing unit 82 includes respective conductors 198 and 200 connected to a suitable source of electrical energy.
  • the ice maker 26 includes a compressor motor 202 and a full switch 204.
  • Normally closed relay contacts 1R1 associated with a relay winding 1R connect the agitator and auger motor 32 of the ice maker 26 in parallel with motor 202.
  • Switch 204 connects the parallel-connected motors 202 and 32 between conductors 198 and 200. So long as contacts 1R1 and switch 204 are closed the ice maker continues to make ice.
  • the storage compartment 34 is full switch 204 opens and the ice maker stops operating.
  • I have designated the switches 180 associated with the respective units 94, 96, 98 and as 180a, 180b, 1800 and 180d. I connect these switches in parallel to each other and in series with winding 1R between conductors 198 and 200.
  • relay IR is energized to open contacts 1R1 and to complete the circuit of agitator motor 32 by closing contacts 1R2.
  • contacts 1R3 close to energize the ice delivery system motor 38.
  • this operation causes a predetermined amount of ice per unit time to be delivered through tube 40 and spout 14 to the cup.
  • the flow of beverage components from the remote supply to the dispensing spout 14 is under the control of solenoid operated valves.
  • solenoid operated valves 206 and 208 control the flow of fresh water from line 44 to an outlet line 218 and control the flow of carbonated water from line 60 to an outlet line 220.

  • All of the solenoid operated valves in this form of my dispenser may be of any suitable type known to the art. They are positioned within the cabinet 12. As in the form of my invention illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 4 the levers operate respective switches though no valves are mechanically operated by the levers. It will be seen that in this form of my invention fewer valves are reuqired. However, as will be pointed out more fully hereinbelow the electrical system is relatively complicated as compared with that used in the manual dispensing unit.
  • FIG. 7 the electrical circuit for controlling the operation of the form of my dispenser illustrated in FIG. 5 is similar to that of FIG. 7 insofar as the connections of motors 32, 38 and 202 are concerned.
  • operation of the switches 180a, 180b, 180a and 180d respectively energize relay windings 2R, 3R, 4R and SR.
  • Energization of any one of the windings 2R to SR closes a corresponding set of contacts 2R1 to 5R1 to energize relay winding 1R to operate the ice delivery system in the manner I described above in connection with the showing of FIG. 6.
  • any one of the windings 2R to SR closes an associated pair of contacts 2R2 to 5R2 to energize a respective solenoid 234, 236, 238 or 240.
  • These solenoids 234, 236, 238 and 240 operate the respective valves 210, 212, 214 and 216.
  • Energization of winding 2R also closes contacts 2R3 to energize a solenoid 230 associated with the fresh water supply valve 206.
  • actuation of one of the handles 18, 20, 22 or 24 rotates the corresponding lever 110 to open the two associated valves 102 and 104 to cause a syrup component and either frssh water or carbonated water to flow upwardly through the dispensing unit and through spout 14 to the cup.
  • rotation of the lever causes the corresponding switch 180 to close to complete the circuit of the agitator motor 32 and of the ice delivery system motor 38 to cause a predetermined quantity of ice per unit time to flow through tube 40 and into the cup together with the beverage components.
  • a beverage dispenser for selectively delivering one of a plurality of drinks at a dispensing location including in combination, a plurality of beverage supply means, means including a plurality of respective normally closed valves adapted to be opened to connect said supply means to said delivery location, a container for holding a supply of ice, said container holding a supply of ice, said container having an exit opening, motor-driven means inside said container for moving ice through said exit opening, a delivery element mounted adjacent to said exit opening and adapted to be driven to deliver ice from said exit opening to said dispensing location at a predetermined rate, a motor adapted to be energized to drive said delivery element, a plurality of manually actuatable members, means mounting said members adjacent to said delivery location for movement between home positions and actuated positions, respective means responsive to the presence of said members in their actuated positions for selectively holding said valves open for the time during which a member is in its actuated position and respective means responsive to the presence of said members in their actuated positions for energizing said
  • a drink dispenser as in claim 1 wherein said motor driven means is an agitator in said container adapted to move ice through said exit opening, a second motor adapted to be energized to drive said agitator, and in which said motor energizing means concomitantly energizes said second motor.
