摘要： Heating devices and methods which are particularly useful in vending machines for hot products. Products such as beverages contained in individual containers such as cans are rapidly heated to serving temperature by induction heating for delivery to a customer. Various types of products with different heating characteristics are rapidly heated without deleterious effects on the product by varying the power and timing of the inductive heating. The type of product is identified by indicia on the container which are automatically scanned prior to heating. The product containers may be agitated before, during and/or after heating to mix the contents and distribute heat evenly. The containers are heated in a manner to safely heat the product without overheating or causing damage to the container. A power management protocol turns off non-essential components of the vending machine while the inductive heater is energized to permit the vending machine to operate on a standard 120 VAC, 15 A electrical circuit without overload.

摘要： A beverage and ice dispenser that dispenses both beverages and cubed or crushed ice. Beverages are dispensed from dispensing heads. Cubed ice is stored in a bin. A duct leads from the bin. The duct has first and second outlet openings. A chute leads from the outlet openings. The chute has a single discharge opening from which ice from both duct outlet openings is discharged. An ice crusher is between a first outlet opening and the chute. A gate opens and blocks the flow path from the second opening into the chute. When cubed ice is desired, the gate is spaced from the second opening so that cubed ice is discharged from the duct and chute. When crushed ice is desired, the gate closes the second opening. Ice flows out of the first opening, is crushed by the ice crusher and discharged through the chute.

摘要： A system is provided for producing at least two beverages having different percentages of water. The system comprises: (a) a first container containing a first water-soluble compound and a second container containing a second water-soluble compound; (b) a valve assembly associated with the first and second containers for selectively receiving the first and second water-soluble compounds, the valve assembly including a valve having a first position for receiving the first water-soluble compound and a second position for receiving the second water-soluble compound; (c) a pump associated with the valve assembly adapted to be associated with a water source, the pump adapted to pump the first water-soluble compound from the valve assembly for mixing with water when the valve is in the first position and to pump the second water-soluble compound from the valve assembly for mixing with water when the valve is in the second position; and (d) a processor for signaling the pump to operate at a first speed when the valve is in the first position and a second speed when the valve is in the second position to selectively product the first beverage and the second beverage. The first pump speed desirably is different from the second pump speed. The system may comprise a housing containing the valve assembly, the pump and the processor, and the first and second containers desirably are spaced from the housing. The system may be able to produce additional beverages having different percentages of water, and thus may further include additional containers, valve assemblies, pumps and dispense valves.
