Abstract:
1. UNITARY EXTRACTOR SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTS IN DISPENSING MACHINES, being of the type of dispensing machine which works by means of the introduction of coins, bank notes and/or cards and which can dispense food products, refrigerated or otherwise, and drinks, wherein the products are stored in corresponding compartments of a series of trays, said compartments comprising a center opened laminar base, with a belt provided with a plurality of toothed projections being fitted in relation to the opened central part of the laminar base, a pair of lateral strips disposed in their forward part being arranged in a transverse position and converging towards the center of said compartments, the pair of lateral strips being capable of clutching products of any shape for securing them, and wherein, upon the advance of the belt for the extraction of a product, said pair of lateral strips give way to the first product that is released towards an extraction tray, while the product positioned in second place is halted by the pair of lateral strips at the same time as the belt is detained, wherein the unitary extractor system further comprises a single pusher secured to the belt, this securing being materialized by means of a rotary arm of the pusher restrained by a spring, wherein the lower end of the rotary arm is positioned between two toothed projections of the belt and the pusher remains leaned against the product that is most internal of all the products lined up in the corresponding compartment of a tray, and wherein the center opened laminar base comprises a retainer in its forward part which stops the forward movement of the pusher, even when the belt is advanced, when the last product but one has been dispensed with one remaining undispensed although a user requests the one remaining undispensed product owing to the fact that the belt continues its advance overcoming the action of the spring restraining the rotary arm of the pusher, thus configuring the dispensing machine as a lost sales counter.
