摘要： A vending machine has a housing or casing supporting one or more interior shelves or trays upon which beverage containers can be placed in a position to be viewed by a customer through a window in the front of the machine. The window is located in a door on the front of the machine that is used to stock the machine with fresh product from the front. Product containers are urged toward a vending channel at the rear of the machine and away from the stocking door, thus assuring a first-in first-out movement of each product container to assure freshness. The containers can be urged toward the vending channel by a spring, by gravity (as by placing them on an inclined tray surface and allowing them to slide toward the vending channel at the rear of the machine), or by means of a conveyor, e.g., a vibratory or belt conveyor. Each container in turn upon reaching the vending channel is released by a dispensing means into the vending channel through which it falls toward the product retrieval outlet at the front of the machine. An improved dispensing mechanism that acts positively to eject each container into the vending channel is also described.

摘要： A foldable, adjustable-height, canopy support which can support up to four independent rectangular canopy-segments. The segments are cantilevered from a single mast. All support elements remain interconnected and fold parallel for storing and ease of portage. The support may include integral canopy-segments which retract onto elongated rollers when not in use. A demountable foot having clamps for attaching the bottom end of the mast to a solid object is also disclosed.

摘要： An apparatus for visually displaying music notes on a note display panel mounted on an electronic piano with a support arm. The electronic piano has a keyboard electrically coupled to an electronic circuit operable to produce an audio output in accordance with the depression of one or more keys. The arm is rotatably in a mount attached to the piano for movement about a first upright axis. A first motion limiting unit attached to the mount and arm limits the rotation of the arm about the piano. A second motion limiting unit attached to the panel and arm limits rotation of the panel about an upright axis relative to the arm. A modified structure has the arm fixed to the piano. The panel has a grand staff indicia coordinated with vertically disposed first light means corresponding to chord note information and second light means diagonally corresponding to an ascending note scale information. A keyboard representation is located below the staff indicia. Third light means associated with the piano key indicia of the keyboard representation is coordinated with the second light means to provide visual information as to the keys depressed on the electronic piano. An electric circuit means having on-off switches electrically couples the electronic piano with the first, second, and third lights so that the lights can be selectively operated. The electronic circuit has a switch assembly having a plurality of key signature switches operable to coordinate the first, second, and third lights with the piano keyboard in accordance with the key signature of the music that is played.
