Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur automatique d'aliment sphérique comprenant un dispositif monnayeur permettant de commencer des programmes de vente, un dispositif de sélection, un dispositif d'affichage, une partie de sortie d'aliment permettant à l'utilisateur de sortir l'aliment, un logement (4) d'aliment sphérique présentant une porte inclinée, un support d'aliment sphérique, un tube de traction, un levier de manoeuvre et un dispositif procurant des gobelets en papier. Ledit support d'aliment sphérique comprend une plaque montante et descendante (6) au niveau du bord inférieur du plancher incliné pouvant s'élever et descendre horizontalement, et un tube de transport d'aliment sphérique. Le haut de la plaque montante et descendante (6) comprend une rainure creuse longue destinée à contenir un aliment sphérique. La partie de ladite rainure creuse ne contient pas plus d'un aliment sphérique, et la longueur de ladite rainure creuse ne peut pas contenir moins d'un nombre prédéterminé d'aliments sphériques. Ladite pièce de traction (27) tire l'aliment sphérique plus haut que la plaque montante et descendante (6) en retour vers le logement (4). Ledit levier de manoeuvre pousse l'aliment sphérique dans le tube de transport lorsque la rainure creuse de la plaque montante et descendante (6) est reliée au tube de transport. Ledit dispositif de fourniture de gobelets en papier fournit un gobelet en papier au niveau de la position arrière du tube de transport.
