    摘要: A method and apparatus serving either as a retrofit kit or new sign front for beverage vending machines to allow the display of product contained in the machine by means of significantly larger product identification indicia than the existing product identification indicia and the display windows are specifically correlated to selection mechanisms associated with the larger windows and may also include numbers, letters, symbols, connecting lines and/or colors. The existing selection operatives are deactivated and a vandal panel corner is optionally applied to the machine to eliminate product selection switches. A circuit board is added that enables increasing the number of product selections and it is adapted to be used with different manufacturer's machines. Reinforcement bar means is optionally provided for the signage panel. A holder may be provided for flavor label cards that is exclusively attached to the rear of the signage. Alternatively, audio and/or visual effects are added to the machine. In a new vendor door the appearance of a center column machine may be established with the sign front and strengthening of the center column panel along with enhancing security of the machine.

    摘要: A lock with a handle assembly and a lock articulating assembly. The handle assembly has a handle member and a lock assembly. The handle member has a central bore and a locking plug groove. The lock assembly has a lock arm with a body positionable within the central bore. The body includes a central bore and a radial bore which is alignable with the locking plug groove. The lock assembly further has an outward locking plug configured to translate along the radial bore and selectively into the locking plug groove. The lock articulating assembly includes a slider (or a second cam), an actuator, a cam coupled to a motor. The cam is selectively engageable with the slider to rotate and/or translate the slider. The actuator is coupled to the slider, so that movement to the slider imparts movement of the actuator.

    摘要: A lock includes a housing assembly, an actuatable lock assembly and a latching assembly. The actuatable lock assembly is positionable in at least a closed orientation and an open orientation. The latching assembly further includes a latch, a cam and a motor. The latch, having a cam profile, is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the actuatable lock assembly is maintained in the closed orientation. In the unlocked position, the actuatable lock assembly is positionable into an open orientation. The cam is rotatably mounted and has a first follower configured to intermittently coact with the cam profile of the latch, to, in turn, move the latch between the locked position and the unlocked position. The motor is coupled to the cam. Actuation of the motor causes rotation of the cam, resulting in movement of the latch between the locked and unlocked positions.

    摘要: A cooler and freezer access control system locks a cooler or freezer when occurrence of an event is detected that requires limiting access to the inside of the cooler or freezer. Examples of such events include the loss of power to the cooler or freezer for a predetermined period of time, the opening of the cooler or freezer door for longer than an allowed time, the loss of functionality of a temperature probe and others. In an embodiment, a service mode is supported wherein the door is left unlocked despite the occurrence of such an event, to allow a stocker or other personnel to leave the cooler or freezer door open while stocking the cooler or freezer with product.
