  • a bottom closing body 200 provided with pins 212 designed to engage with the corresponding hollow bushes 112 and 122 of the two opposite flanks 110,120 of the container;
  • the body 20 comprises a slider 220 with a grip handle 221 displaceable in the transverse direction Y-Y from a position retracted inside the dispenser, reached following recall of a coil spring 226, into an extracted position outside of the dispenser reached following pulling by the user, and a cover 250 rotating on opposite longitudinal pins 251 which can be inserted into corresponding seats 125 of the respective flanks 110,120;
  • a door 400 rotating so as to open/close about bottom eyelets 401 and provided with a security lock 410 described more fully below;
  • the door 400 is preferably made of transparent material so as to allow viewing of a package la (Fig. 7), normally empty , representative of the products 1 which can be actually dispensed.
  • the security lock 410 of the cover 400 comprises a transverse pin 411 with a shaped end 411a designed to cooperate with a corresponding lock seat 412; a spring 413 is arranged coaxially with the pin 411 so that rotational operation of the lock 410 occurs only following compression of the said spring with consequent inwards displacement of the pin; thus opening of the door 400 may be performed only following correct operation of the security lock.
  • the internal free end of the pin 411 has a magnet 414 which is designed to cooperate with a Hall sensor 414a for generating an acoustic anti- tamper alarm signal; it is also envisaged that the signal may be used to call a member of staff who, by operating a remote control device, releases the dispensing drawer to allow removal of the product; -) a shaped surface 500 (Fig. 7) designed to be arranged inside the door and fixed thereto; the surface 500 is shaped according to the dimensions of the package la of the product to be dispensed.
  • a magnet 414 which is designed to cooperate with a Hall sensor 414a for generating an acoustic anti- tamper alarm signal; it is also envisaged that the signal may be used to call a member of staff who, by operating a remote control device, releases the dispensing drawer to allow removal of the product; -) a shaped surface 500 (Fig. 7) designed to be arranged inside the door and fixed thereto; the surface 500 is shaped according to the dimensions
  • the bottom closing body 200 comprises preferably (Figs . 5a, 5b) :
  • a first lever 240 rotating about a pin 241 and arranged in the bottom part of the body 200 in the retracted end-of-travel position of the slider 220 (Figs. 6a, 6b) ; at its bottom free end the lever 240 has means 243 designed to cooperate with a second sensor 243a for generating a signal which, as will become clear below, is correlated to the position of the position of the slider 220 when extracted; preferably said means 223 comprise a magnet and the sensor 233a is a Hall sensor;
  • a second lever 260 which rotates about a pin 261 (Figs. 6a, 6b) and the bottom free end of which has means 263 designed to cooperate with a third sensor 263a for generating a signal which, as will become clear below, is correlated to the position of the cover 250 when open; preferably said means 233 comprise a magnet and the sensor 233a is a Hall sensor.
  • the dispenser may operate as follows :
  • the packages with the product 1 to be dispensed are inserted, arranging them on top of each other in the vertical direction Z-Z;
  • the sample package is inserted between the shaped surface 500 and the door 400;
  • the door 400 is closed and the security lock 410 is locked so that its magnet 414 activates the sensor 414a which emits a consent signal for operation of the dispenser;
  • the slider 220 is displaced inwards to the end-of-travel position (Fig. 6a) where it rotationally operates the first lever 240, thus moving the associated magnet 243 outside of the range of the sensor 243a, resulting in the absence of a signal corresponding to the slider regularly closed and ready for dispensing;
  • the front cover 250 is rotated inwards, in which position it acts on the second lever 260 which, rotating about its pin 261, moves the associated magnet 263 outside of the detection range of the sensor 263a, generating the final consent signal for regular operation of the dispenser;
  • the user pulls the slider 220 outwards (Fig. 6b) by means of the grip handle 221, the slider draws along with it the product 1 causing the cover 250 to rotate into the open position so as to allow the product to be taken by the user; at the same time the first lever 240 and the second lever 260 are rotated by means of gravity in the opposite direction and move the respective magnets 243,253 opposite the respective sensors 243a, 253a which cause the emission of a logic signal which activates a timer (not shown) so that subsequent dispensing may be performed only after a programmed time interval;
  • the slider is recalled inside by the coil spring 226 so as to restore the initial condition of the levers 240,260 for subsequent dispensing once the programmed time interval has lapsed;
  • the rocker arm 230 rotates by means of gravity until the magnet 233 is positioned opposite the associated sensor 233a, causing the generation of a logic signal indicating that there is no product;
  • the signals generated may be transmitted by means of the transceiver device of the control board 335 to a remote control and management station which, on the basis of the information received, may intervene and restore normal operation of the dispenser.
  • a display 510 designed to display information relating to the product, such as price, contents, etc., may be associated with the shaped surface 500.
  • the dispenser according to the invention has data transmission cables 600, the opposite ends of which have connectors 601 which can be coupled to the connector 134a of the rear wall 130; it is thus possible to connect several dispensers in parallel for the transmission of signals and/or data relating to the presence/absence of the product 1 to be dispensed and/or to break-in attempts which have occurred.
  • the dispensers may be combined in preferred configurations opposite each other and/or on top of each other by means of the side teeth 111, bottom teeth 211 and the corresponding seats 121,311 so as to form multiple dispensers of products 1 which are the same and/or different.
  • the dispenser device provides a simultaneous check as to the presence of the product and the regular dispensing condition on the basis of these checks it allows controlled dispensing designed to limit the simultaneous multiple removal of products, automatically and without the need for elements external to the device itself, it also allows management from a remote station by an authorized operator who, with the aid of remote control devices and/or by means of manual operations, may manage the different conditions where malfunctioning, jamming or an attempt to remove the products without purchasing them occur.
