    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 dispensing machine is used to disperse plastic water bottles and the like, preferably of a size ranging from approximately one liter to approximately two liters or even larger. The machine can be used to dispense other products in containers as long as the containers are shaped to roll along a shelf. The machine has a vertical channel containing paddles where each paddle supports only some of the containers in the channel when the channel is filled with containers. The paddles move simultaneously to gently lower the containers one space at a time when the machine is activated.

    摘要: An automatic vending machine has a plurality of commodity storage chambers in a side-by-side arrangement that are divided from one another by thermally-insulating vertical dividers so that each chamber can be heated or refrigerated individually. Each chamber has a plurality of vertically spaced commodity shelves and an elevator bucket that is adapted to receive a commodity from a selected shelf. All of the elevator buckets are rigidly connected by laterally extending connecting members that are disposed through respective vertically extending slots in the dividers, so that a single unit of plural elevator buckets acts to fetch a selected commodity, heated or cooled. A pair of flexible heat-shielding sealing strips are securely fitted in each of the slots in a manner that each of the connecting members slides on and between the corresponding pair of the sealing strips to prevent communication between the adjacent chambers as the connecting member moves vertically.

    摘要: A vending machine rotor is provided which allows for the holding and subsequent dispensing of two or more bottles from a vending machine. The vending machine rotor provides a reservoir which comprises at least two bottle locations in which bottles may be loaded and then from which the bottles may be dispensed. While loaded in the rotor, cut-outs in the rotor enable the necks of at least two of the bottles to overlap by providing recesses in which the outer surfaces of at least two of the bottles may partially radiate outward from the axis of the vending machine rotor. Finally, a thickened portion of the rotor body may be provided to prevent bottles which exceed a maximum diameter from being used with the rotor of the present invention.

    摘要: The subject of the present invention are devices for the automatic dispensing of bottles, notably in flexible material.The technical sector of the invention is that of the manufacture of automatic vending machines of drinks in individual containers, of the bottle type, particularly of plastic and containing mineral water.According to the invention the following devices consist of a drum (8) capable of rotation, which receives bottles (6) rolling from a chute (4), fed by ramps (15) set alternately. At each command by the customer for dispensing bottle, a chain drive system (9) provides this drum with an exact turn of rotation and makes the bottle fall into a hatch (7) accessible to the customer. When it returns to its resting position, the drum is reloaded with a new bottle, previously held in a waiting position by a stop mechanism (11) and the bottom of the drum.

    摘要: An article dispensing apparatus, particularly for food products such as sandwiches, salads, dessert items, etc. and products such as canned drinks, particularly for on-location food and drink service, which is readily convertible from a self-service reach-in mode of use for a cafeteria-type operation to use as a vendor (i.e., a credit media controlled dispenser), whereby the apparatus may be used for cafeteria-type service during lunch or other peak periods, and as a vendor during off-peak periods. Articles are stocked on endless belt conveyors extending in rear-to-front direction in a cabinet having sliding glass doors at the front for merchandising display of the articles. The conveyors are arranged in tiers one above another and side-by-side in each tier. For the reach-in mode of use, the doors are unlocked. In the vending mode of use, a carrier movable laterally in front of the dispensers receives an article from any dispenser in any tier and moves to a delivery station at one side of the cabinet, and one door is completely locked and the other adapted only partially to be opened to open the delivery station.
