Objects (1) to be stored are fed between two rollers (9, 10) to a belt (2) taken off from a belt coil (5) of a belt reel (6) and wound up therewith (2), forming a storage coil (7), onto a storage reel (3). For the delivery of previously stored objects (1a), the belt (2) is taken off therewith (1a) from the storage coil (7), the objects separate from the belt (2) upon leaving the roller pair (9, 10), the belt (2) being rewound onto the belt coil (b 5). The reels (3, 6) are displaceably mounted; their coils (5, 7) are each supported on a fixedly mounted backing roller (12, 13). For driving the device, the backing rollers (12, 13) can be rotated at coincident peripheral speeds, or respectively one backing roller (12, 13) can be rotated by pulling off the belt (2) from the coil (5, 7) carrying same and the rotation of that backing roller can be transmitted to the other backing roller, or respectively one of the reels (3, 6) can be rotated by pulling off the belt (2) from its coil (5, 7) and the rotation of such reel can be transmitted to the other reel by means of an infinitely variable gear system (42, 43, 46, 47, 51-54, 57-60) in such a way that the peripheral speeds of both coils coincide. In this way, a belt, storage, and delivery speed at constant belt speed is attained which is independent of the respective diameters of the coils.

A system for scanning and dispensing postage stamps from a roll of stamps, including a scanning circuit for optically scanning each individual stamp on a stamp roll as the stamp passes thereby in order to detect the degree of opacity of such stamp and to produce a scanning output signal representative of the degree of opacity, an examination circuit including a first circuit portion operable to determine if an individual stamp boundary has been encountered and to produce a boundary detection signal in such event, and a second circuit portion responsive to such scanning output signal to determine if the degree of opacity detected identifies a non-blank stamp and to produce a non-blank status detection signal in such event, and a dispensing control circuit responsive to an externally generated dispense request signal and to the production of one or more boundary detection signals and non-blank status detection signals to control the operation of stamp movement and detaching devices. The first circuit portion is preferably responsive to the scanning output signal to determine if an individual stamp boundary has been encountered and the stamp movement device preferably includes friction roller members.

This invention relates to an apparatus for distributing products by packaging them in individual containers connected together to form a strip, and cutting each individual product unit from the strip which is fed stepwise to being each terminal product unit into a cutting position during each distributing cycle. The apparatus comprises a coin box, a cutting mechanism arranged to separate the terminal product unit from the strip when a token or coin is inserted into the coin box, and a feed mechanism arranged to cause advancing of the strip by one step when the cutting mechanism returns to a rest position.
摘要:
A drug dispensing apparatus for automatically dispensing one or more individual drug doses to a common collection area in accordance with input information which represents the unique medicinal needs of a patient. Each of the three embodiments disclosed includes a locked cabinet which houses a plurality of removable and refillable cartridges. Each cartridge stores a plurality of individual identical drug doses and includes means for sequentially dispensing the drug doses on a demand basis. The dispensing apparatus further includes means for receiving the input information and control means which responds to the received input information and selectively operates the cartridges to dispense an individual drug dose or doses according to the patient''s unique medicinal needs.
