摘要:
An automatic vending machine for delivering stackable containers having edible product therein. A container discharge station--especially for cones--is provided with at least one stack of containers disposed in a position vertically above an arm for clampingly engaging the containers and movement of the containers below a product dispensing nozzle and into a delivery chamber. The cones are dropped one at a time from the one or more stacks through an opening in a plate into operative engagement with the arm. A guide structure is located vertically between the at least one container stack and the arm, guiding the dropping of the containers into association with the arm so that the containers will not be misaligned or inverted during dropping and will be positively guided into operative association with the arm. The guide structure includes a generally tubular member disposed below the plate and a chute disposed vertically below the tubular member and having a primary container-guiding portion thereof extending downwardly from the tubular member at an obtuse angle with respect to the vertical.
摘要:
An automatic vending machine for delivering soft ice cream or the like to ice cream cones or other containers. A pivotally mounted arm receives a cone and then moves to a product-dispensing station. The product is dispensed into the cone until a weight-responsive structure associated with the arm senses the predetermined weight of the product and stops delivery of the product to the cone. Then the arm is moved so that it deposits the cone in a delivery chamber and then is moved out of the delivery chamber back to a position to receive another cone. Mechanical latch structures are provided for latching the door to the delivery chamber in closed position until the arm has been completely withdrawn from the delivery chamber and a rod connects the arm to the latch for effecting unlatching of the door in response to movement of the arm so that the door is unlatched after the movement of the arm out of the delivery chamber. The door includes a structure for resetting the latch to latch the door after opening movement of the door and removal of the product-filled container from the delivery chamber so that the door is latched shut and remains latched until the next movement of the arm out of the delivery chamber after disposing a product-filled container therein.

A mounting for a digital service line repeater comprises a housing having a base and a removable cover, electrical components for electrically connecting the line repeater to signal wires, and a fastening device for removably attaching the base of another mounting to the removable cover. The fastening device includes a threaded hole in the cover for receiving a fastener, and the base includes an aperture aligned with the threaded hole for receiving a fastener. The mounting can be stacked on and mounted to a second similar mounting by a fastener passing through the aperture in the base for receipt in the threaded hole in the cover of the second mounting. The cover is removably attached to the base by accessible fasteners at the side walls, and the base includes a slot for receiving the line repeater. The electrical components include an electrical connector at one end of the slot for electrically connecting with the line repeater, and an easy connect wire connector having clamping terminals for electrically and mechanically connecting with signal wires.
