    摘要: A vending machine for bottled or canned beverages which includes a vending mechanism that is electrically operated to release the lowest container from a stack thereof onto a pivotable table for easing the further downward movement of the container to a place of access. The container in the vend position is held by a horizontal pivotable rod, which is held by a latching lever until the latching lever is moved by a solenoid-driven link. A ''''soldout'''' switch provides part of the control for the solenoid and includes a lever having a retention flange that projects through a slot in the frame of the machine.

    摘要: A METHOD OF BREWING COFFEE IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHICH FRESHLY GROUND COFFEE IS INFUSED WITH A PREDETERMINED AMOUNT OF HOT WATER IN A COFFEE EXTRACTOR MAINTAINED UNDER PRESSURE BY INERT GAS, SUCH AS CARBON DIOXIDE, TO PROVIDE A BREW OF "STRONG COFFEE" HAVING A SOLUBLE SOLIDS CONTENT OF FROM ABOUT 10 TO 15% BY WEIGHT, AND THEREFORE SO STRONG AS NOT TO BE PALATABLE FOR DRINKING PURPOSES. AT THE COMPLETION OF THE BREWING STEP WHICH REQUIRED ONLY A FEW MINUTES TIME, THE "STRONG COFFEE" LIQUID IS EXPELLED FROM THE COFFEE EXTRACTOR THROUGH THE LOWER PORTION THEREOF BY MEANS OF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS SO AS NOT TO CAUSE ANY DILUTION, AND IS TRANSFERRED INTO A PRESSURIZED CARBONATOR VESSEL, HELD AT ORDINARY OR ROOM TEMPERATURES, AND MAINTAINED UNDER GASEOUS PRESSURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE. CARBONATION OF THE "STRONG COFFEE" LIQUID IS EFFECTED IN THE CARBONATION VESSEL TO AN EXTENT SUCH THAT THE LIQUID CONTAINS FROM 2 TO 4 VOLUMES OF CARBON DIOXIDE FOR EACH UNIT VOLUME OF LIQUID. THE CARBONATED "STRONG COFFEE" LIQUID IS THEN TRANSFERRED TO A PRESSURIZE STORAGE TANK MAINTAINED UNDER SUFFICIENT PRESSURE OF CARBON DIOXIDE GAS TO PREVENT SUBSTANTIAL LOSS THEREOF FROM THE LIQUID. FROM THE PRESSURE STORAGE TANK THE CARBONATED "STRONG COFFEE" LIQUID IS TRANSFERRED AS NEEDED TO A DISPENSER MAINTAINED UNDER SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO FACILITATE THE DISCHARGE OF THE "STRONG COFFEE" THROUGH A MIXING VALVE, IN ADMIXTURE WITH THE PROPER AMOUNT OF HOT WATER TO BRING THE "STRONG COFFEE" LIQUID TO A SUITABLE TEMPERATURE AND DILUTION FOR IMMEDIATE CONSUMPTION FROM A DRINKING CUP INTO WHICH THE MIXING VALVE DISCHARGES. DUE TO THE RELATIVELY HIGH CONCENTRATION OF THE "STRONG COFFEE" A DILUTION OF APPROXIMATELY ONE PART OF THE "STRONG COFFEE" TO TEN PARTS OF FINISHED COFFEE BEVERAGE NOT ONLY READIES THE LIQUID COFFEE FOR CONSUMPTION BUT ALSO EFFECTS A RELEASE OF SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE DISSOLVED CARBON DIOXIDE GAS FROM THE LIQUID COFFEE SO THAT THE COFFEE IN THE DRINKING CUP IS SUBSTANTIALLY DECARBONATED, WITHOUT, HOWEVER, THE FORMATION OF ANY OBJECTIONABLE AMOUNT OF FOAM. THE FINAL COFFEE BEVERAGE AS PRODUCED BY OUT PROCESS, POSSESSES THE SAME TASTE ANS IS OF THE SAME QUALITY AS THAT OF FRESHLY MADE COFFEE FROM THE SAME COFFEE BEAN SOURCE, EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL WEEKS MAY HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE TIME OF BREWING THE "STRONG COFFEE" LIQUID AND THE TIME OF ITS CONSUMPTION IN DILUTED FORM AS A BEVERAGE.
