  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a newspaper vending machine in accordance with the invention with parts of a casing thereof removed to disclosethe .interior of the casing, and
  • FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the machine of FIG. 1 with most of the front wall of the casing removed to disclose details of the interior of the casing;
  • the machine which isillustrated in the accompanying drawingsis primarily intended for selling newspapers in 'the street and is designed so that-a customer who wishes to purchase a newspaper has merely to place a coin or coins in a slot tos free a -mechanism which is then manually ,operatedby thecustomer to deliver the required newspaper from an access mouth of the casing of the machine-The machine is a portable one that is intended to be delivered to, and removed,
  • the machine may be constructed so that its base can be bolted or otherwise secured in a more or less permanent position.
  • the machine may also be incorporated in the facade or hollow wall of a building or the like.
  • the illustrated machine has a cuboid casing 1 from rigidly interconnected metal plates inside which casing l are two vertical guide rails 2 mounted on the inner surface of one side wall of the casing in parallel but horizontally spaced apart relationship.
  • a substantially horizontal platform 3 is sustained from beneath by a framework 4 which carries rollers 5 that are movable upwardly and downwardly along the guide rails 2.
  • Two tension springs 6 extend alongside the corresponding two guide rails 2 and have their upper ends connected to anchorages 7 mounted at the upper ends of those rails and their lower ends connected to further anchorages 8 that are fastened to the platform 3 very close to the upper rollers 5 of the framework 4 that sustains that platform 3 from beneath.
  • the platform 3 is upwardly and downwardly movable along the guide rails 2 but downward movements thereof are resiliently opposed by the springs 6. This arrangement will be explained in greater detail below.
  • a carriage 9 is arranged above the platform 3. and is provided with upper and lower pairs of rollers 10 in respect of each rail 2. There are thus four pairs of the rollers 10 but it should be particularly noted that only one roller 10 of each pair of visible in the drawings.
  • the two rollers 10 of each pair are located at opposite sides of guide flanges of the rails 2 in such a way that the whole carriage 9 can move upwardly and downwardly along the guide rails 2 independently of the underlying platform 3.
  • the carriage 9 is provided with means, generally indicated by the reference 11, for dispensing newspapers one at a time from a stack 12 thereof.
  • the newspapers are stacked on the upper surface of the platform 3 in the condition in which they are conventionally despatched from the premises in which they are printed, that is to say, each newspaper is arranged with its pages closed and, if required, is folded once in a direction parallel to the upper and lower edges of its pages.
  • the dispensing means 11 comprises an upper arm 13 having one end pivotable relative to an upper member of the carriage 9 about a substantially horizontal axis and a lower arm 14 whose upper end is pivotable relative to the end of the upper arm 13 that is remote from the guide rails 2 about a further substantially horizontal axis that is parallel to the axis of the pivotal connection between the upper arm 13 and the carriage 9.
  • the lower end of the lower arm 14 carries part of a universal joint 15, which may be in the form of a ball and socket joint, the other part of that universal joint 15 being fastened to a shaft 16 that projects from opposite sides of the universal joint in a substantially horizontal direction that is substantially parallel to the pivotal axes at the opposite ends of the upper arm 13 and to the axes about which the rollers 5 and 10 can rotate.
  • Toothed' wheels 17 are rigidly secured to the opposite ends of the shaft 16 and their toothed peripheries rest on top of the stack 12 of newspapers or on top of the platform 3 when no newspapers are present in the machine.
  • the wheels 17 may be formed from rubber, synthetic rubber or a synthetic plastics material or alterna tively may be toothed metal wheels and are designed in such a way that their substantially radially projecting teeth will give a good grip upon a sheet of newspaper.
  • the shaft 16 carries a ratchet wheel 18 close to the universal joint 15 and the lower arm 14 carries a operating pawl 19, the one-way mechanism that is afforded by the ratchet wheel 18 and pawl 19 being arranged so that the shaft 16 and its toothed wheels 17 can rotate to a significant extent only in an anticlockwise direction as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings.
  • a tension spring 20 interconnects the upper arm 13 and a lower member of the carriage 9 in such a way as to tend to turn the upper arm 13 downwardly about its pivotal connection with the carriage 9 in a clockwise direction as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings and a further tension spring 21 interconnects the upper and lower arms 13 and 14 in such a way as to tend to turn the lower arm 14 upwardly in a clockwise direction as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings about its pivotal connection with the upper arm 13.
  • a mechanism that is generally indicated by the reference 22 is carried by the side wall of the casing 1 that is opposite to the side wall whose internal surface carries the guide rails 2 and said mechanism comprises a handle 23 that is operable from the exterior of the casing l by a customer who wishes to purchase a newspaper to cause the dispensing means 11 to separate one newspaper from the stack 12 on the platform 3 and to deliver that newspaper through a mouth 24 in the side wall of the casing 1 which carries the mechanism 22 to a location at which the delivered newspaper is accessible to the customer.
  • the front wall of the casing 1 carries a coin-accepting mechanism 25 that may be of a construction which is basically known per se,. said mechanism 25 having a slot into which the coin or coins required for the purchase of a newspaper may be inserted. There could, of course, be two or more slots of different sizes for circumstances where the purchase price of a single newspaper can or must be made up by employing a combination of coins of different values and different sizes.
  • a chute 26 leads from the coin-accepting mechanism 25 to a section of the operating mechanism 22 in which the reception of at least one coin from the mechanism 25 enables manipulation of the handle 23 to operate the dispensing means 11. This section of the mechanism 22 is not illustrated in detail in the drawings and it will be realised that many coin-freed mechanisms are known that would be basically suitable for this purpose.
  • the coin or coins that free the mechanism 22 fall into a lockable cash box (not shown) after one dispensing operation so that, upon the return of the handle 23 to its initial position, a further coin or coins must be inserted before a further newspaper can be delivered from the stack 12.
  • a Bowden cable 27 extends from the operating mechanism 22 to an anchorage 28 on the lower arm 14 of the dispensing means 11, said anchorage 28 being positioned between the opposite ends of the lower arm 14 and preferably nearer to the universal joint than to the pivotal connection between the arms 14 and 13.
  • the sheath of the Bowden cable 27 extends between a stop close to the mechanism 22 and a second stop on an upper portion of the carriage 9 at the end of the upper portion remote from the guide rails 2.
  • a further spring-loaded Bowden cable 29 extends between the coin-accepting mechanism 25 and the plat form 3 through which latter its core projects to carry a plate that is contacted by the lowermost newspaper of the stack 12 thereof when such a stack is in position. When the stack 12 is missing, the loading spring of the Bowden cable 29 causes the plate which has just been mentioned to rise above the surface of the platform 3 and the coin-accepting slot or slots of the mechanism 25 to be blocked.
  • an anchorage 28 being positioned between the opposite ends of the lower arm 14 and preferably nearer to the universal joint
  • Flap,like doors 30 are formed in both the front and rear walls of the casing 1 of the machine and are pro vided with locks, not shown, by which they can be kept firmly closed to prevent unauthorised access to the in terior of the casing. At least one of the doors 30 must, of course, be opened to obtain access to the interior of the casing 1 at more or less regular intervals to replenish the stack 12 of newspapers.
  • the operative who opens one of the doors 30 for this purpose pushes the carriage 9 and the dispensing means 11 that is connected thereto upwardly along the rails 2 to a position in which the carriage 9 is retained against returning downwardly along the rails 2 by a simple spring-loaded latch or the like which is not illustrated in the drawings.
  • a newspaper guide 31 is either also pushed upwardly along the rails 2 at this time or is temporarily removed from the machine.
  • the newspaper guide 31 includes two rods 32 that lie on top of the stack 12 of newspa-' pers when that stack is in position so as to prevent crumpling of the upper sheet of the uppermost newspaper of the stack 12 during a dispensing operation. Parts of the carriage 9 bear downwardly upon the newspaper guide 31 during the operation of the machine to maintain it in an effective position.
  • a customer inserts the required coin or coins in the slot or slots of the mechanism25 with the result that at least one coin passes down the chute 26 to the section of the operating mechanism 22 that renders the hand 23 effective.
  • the customer in accordance with a prominent instruction notice on the casing 1, then pulls the handle 23 so that it turns in an anticlockwise direction as seen in FIG. 1 of the drawings.
  • the core of the Bowden cable 27 is thus withdrawn into its sheath which causes the lower arm 14 to turn about its pivotal connection with the upper arm 13 in an anticlockwise direction as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings and the upper arm 13, in turn, to pivot about its connection to the carriage 9 in the same direction as seen in FIG. 2.
  • the lever 23 is returned to its initial position either by the customer or by a spring and this involves extension of the core of the Bowden cable 27 from its sheath.
  • the toothed wheels 17 move from right to left as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings and are thus free to rotate with their shaft 16 so that there is no tendency for the fresh uppermost newspaper of the stack 12 to be pushed to the left as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings and thus be crumpled.
  • the tension springs 20 and 21 are of such strengths that the light pressure of the toothed wheels 17 on the top newspaper of the stack 12 is sufficient to move that newspaper l2 reliably in the direction X without increasing the frictional contact between that newspaper and the next underlying newspaper to such an extent that the next underlying newspaper will also tend to be displaced in the directionX.
  • the carriage 9 incorporates a bracket 33 having a lower limb which, as illustrated in the drawings, is clear of contact with the uppermost newspaper of the stack 12 when the dispensing means 11 is not in operation.
  • the handle 23 is turned to operate the dispensing means 11, the uppermost newspaper of the stack 12 is initially moved a short distance to the right as seen in FIG. 2 by the wheels 17.
  • the differences in configuration and disposition of the dispersing means 11 allow the carriage 9 to move downwardly along the rails 2 until the lower limb of the bracket 33 comes to rest upon the top of the newspaper beneath the one actually being dispensed at a position between the rods 32 of the newspaper guide 31.
  • the provision of the bracket 33 had been found to minimise still further any tendency for more than one newspaper to be delivered from the stack 12 as a result of a single dispensing operation.
  • the carriage 9 and its bracket 33 are moved upwardly along the rails 2 so that the bracket 33 no longer makes retaining contact with the uppermost newspaper of the stack 12.
  • both the platform and the carriage 9 are independently movable upwardly and downwardly along the guide rails 2 has the additional advantage that the initial and final positions of the dispensing means 11 relative to the stack 12 of newspapers are substantially the same for all dispensing operations no matter whether the stack is of full height or is down to its last one or two newspapers. This ensures substantial uniformity of all of the dispensing operations.
  • the loading spring of the Bowden cable 29 is quite weak so that the weight of even one newspaper, pressed down by the wheels 17, and the rods 32 of the newspaper guide 31, is sufficient to prevent premature cessation of the operation of the coin-accepting mechanism 25.
  • the platform 3 is, of course, dimensioned to deal with newspapers of one particular size but, if it should be desired to sell shorten and/or narrower newspapers from the machine, this can be done merely by inserting appropriately shaped filler pieces in regions of the platform 3 that are not occupied by the material of the newspapers themselves.
  • the dispensing means 11 may be modified by placing the anchorage 2 8 closer to the shaft 16 than is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the effect of this being that the core of the Bowden cable 27 will lift the wheels 17 upwardly off the uppermost newspaper of the stack 12, against the action of the tension spring 20, when the core of that Bowden cable 27 is withdrawn sufficiently far into its sheath.
  • the wheels 17 will be able to move downwardly back into contact with the fresh uppermost newspaper of the stack 12 and will then be able to roll to the left as seen in FIG. 2 of the drawings until substantially the starting position thereof that is shown in full lines in that Figure is regained. If desired, it may be ensured that the floating newspaper guide 31 will automatically be raised with the overlying floating carriage 9 and dispensing means 11 when the latter are pushed upwardly to facilitate replenishment of ,the stack 12 of newspapers. All that is necessary to ensure this is to connect the bottom of the carriage 9 to the newspaper guide 31, adjacent the lower rollers 10, by
  • a power-operated machine in which case the operating mechanism 22 would preferably be replaced by an electrically powered mechanism whose operation would be initiated automatically upon supplying the necessary coin or coins to the mechanism 25.
  • a machine in accordance with the invention could be built into the facade or hollow wall of a building or the like in which case some modification of the shape of its casing 1 would probably be required for co-operation with that facade or hollow wall. Under these circumstances, the facade or wall could actually afford the casing of the machine.
  • a machine for dispensing newspapers and like articles comprising a platform for supporting a stack of newspapers, a carriage on which is mounted means for dispensing newspapers and the like one at a time from a stack thereof on said platform, a casing in which the platform,,the carriage and the dispensing means are contained and mechanism operable from the exterior of the casing to cause the dispensing means to separate one newspaper from a stack thereof on the platform and to deliver the separated newspaper through a mouth-defining means in the casing to a location at which itis accessible to a user of the machine, wherein both the platform and the carriage are upwardly and downwardly displaceable in the casing along guide rail means mounted internally of the easing, the weight of the carriage, said dispensing means, the platform and newspapers stacked on the latter in the use of the machine being resiliently counterbal-* anced in such away as to tend to maintain the top of such a stack at substantially a constant level despite progressive diminution of the stack height as a result of successive dispensing operations.
  • guide rail means comprises two guide rails that both extend substantially vertically in parallel but spaced apart relationship.
  • both the platform and the carriage co-operate with said guide rail means by way of rollers that are rotatable about substantially horizontal axes.
  • rollers corresponding to both the platform and the carriage are arranged in upper and lower pairs, the rollers that correspond to the platform being carried by a framework thatsustains said platform from beneath.
  • A-machine according to claim 1 wherein the resilient counterbalancing ofthe weight of the carriage, the dispensing means, the platform and newspapers stacked on the latter is afforded by at least one tension spring corresponding to each guide rail of said guide rail means.
  • the dispensing means comprises a first arm pivotally connected to the carriage, a second arm pivotally connected to the first arm and rotatable means carried by the second arm in such a position as to be able to engage the uppermost newspaper of a stack of newspapers on the platform.
  • the rotatable means comprises a rotary shaft and toothed wheel means arranged to make contact with said uppermost newspaper of a stack, the rotary shaft being provided with a one-way mechanism arranged so that the toothed wheel means can revolve in substantially only one direction.
  • a newspaper guide is movable upwardly and downwardly along the guide rail means and comprises at least one rod arranged to bear against the upper surface of a stack of newspapers on the platform to tend to prevent crumpling of a newspaper engaged by the dispensing means during a dispensing operation.
  • a machine according to claim 1, wherein the mechanism operable from the exterior of the casing is tially cuboid configuration.
