Each of the active members 9 comprises a clasping element 91 which is a crook structure on a top end thereof for clasping the shoe opening 6 of the shoe cover 5 and a bearing 11 with a reset unit 12 such as spring provided on a lower end thereof.
When the active members 9 and the sliding members 10 are driven by the second drag element 212 to overcome the resilient force of the elastic members 14 and reserve an elastic energy and to move to the fixed members 8 along the racks 13, the bearings 11 with the reset units 12 of the active members 9 slide along the sliding guides 15 so as to render the active members 9 to move downwardly, wherein the clasping elements 91 move inwardly to enable the clasping elements, i.e. the crook structures, of the active members 9 to adequately contact and effectively pull out the shoe opening 6 of the respective shoe cover 5 to the open-up condition. According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the sliding guides 15 is mounted on the frame 1 through a sliding guide shaft 16 provided in the frame 1.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIGS. 8 to 10 of the drawings, the automatic shoe cover dispenser further comprises a buffer unit 30 provided in the frame 1. The buffer unit 30 comprises a driving arm 27 pivotally connected to the linkage shaft 31 so as to linked with the pedal 17, a buffer arm 38 having a buffer bearing 33 provided at an upper end thereof being pivotally mounted to the frame 1, and a resilient element 36 mounted on the buffer arm 38.
The driving arm 27 drives the buffer arm 38 rotating and displacing to a position that the buffer arm 38 with the buffer bearing 33 and the draw bar 26 are in a tangency manner. Therefore, the buffer unit 30 is adapted for making the draw bar 26 standing in a temporary stillness state so as to avoid the active members 9 timely draw back along the racks 13 under the force of the elastic members 14 so that the user will have enough time to remove his/her feet from the pedal 17 of the automatic shoe cover dispenser.
The auxiliary arm 28 has a linkage pin 29 provided thereon, wherein the driving arm 27 works with the linkage pin 29 when it is rotating so as to assist the auxiliary arm's rotation movement.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer unit further comprises a buffer pin 34 provided on the buffer arm 38, wherein the buffer arm 28 mounted on the frame 1 via a buffer shaft 35. Furthermore, a banking block 37 is mounted on the frame 1 adapted for limiting the overage shift of the buffer arm 38.
As a result, referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 of the drawings, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a working process of the automatic shoe cover dispenser is illustrated.
A plurality of shoe covers 5 is previously placed at the feeding rod 2, wherein the shoe opening 6 of the shoe cover 5 faces to the active member 9. Then, install the position plate 4 to the feeding rod 2 to place and push on top of the stack of shoe covers 5. Following a downward movement of the pedal 17 when a force applied thereon, as shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings, the linkage arms 20, the draw arm 26 and the driving arm 27 displace accordingly at the same time. Then, the driving arm 27 drives the auxiliary arm 28 to move upwards through the linkage pin 29 so as to pull the first drag element 211 to drive the first and second roller wheels 23, 24 to rotate, wherein through the second drag element 212, the first roller wheel 23 drives the sliding members 10 to move towards fixed members 8 along the racks 13, so that the active members 9 follow the sliding members 10 to move simultaneously to compress the elastic members 14.
When the pedal 17 is continuously stepped down, the active members 9 continuously move towards the fixed members 8 and, at the same time, the sliding guides 15 will be lifted up to compress the reset units 12 while the clasping elements 91 of the active members 9 are driven to move towards each other to form a close-up condition, wherein when the active members 9 are moved to a position behind the fixed members 8, the active members 9 enter the shoe opening 6 of one of the shoe covers 5.
During the downward movement of the pedal 17 which is continuously stepped downwardly to a lowest position, the active members continuously move and drive the bearings 11 to move to the ends of the sliding guides 15 until departing from the control of the sliding guides 15. At this moment, bearings 11 are driven downwardly to return to their original position by means of the reset units 12 and thus driving the active members 9 to move apart from each other to form an open-up condition, in which since the clasping elements 91 of the active members 9 enter the respective shoe cover 5 through the shoe opening 6 at this moment, the clasping elements 91 of the active members 9 clasp against the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 and open up the shoe opening 6 while the active members 9 moving apart from each other, as shown in FIG. 7.
At this moment, since the pedal 17 is stepped to a lowest position, the auxiliary arm 28 is driven accordingly to a highest position, during the upward rotating movement of the auxiliary arm 28, the buffer arm 38 moves upwards simultaneously through the resilient element 36. When the auxiliary arm 28 is upwardly moved to the highest position, the buffer arm 38 moves, at the same time, to the banking block 37 while the buffer bearing 33 in contact with a lower side of the auxiliary arm 28, so that the buffer arm 38 presses against the auxiliary arm 28 so as to support the auxiliary arm 28 from moving downwards to its original position simultaneously when the downward force applied to the pedal 17 is released, as shown in FIG. 9.
After the stepping down process of the pedal 17 as described above is completed, lift up the user's foot which previously applied the downward force to the pedal 17, the downward force applied to the pedal 17 is released and the pedal 17 will moves upwards to its original upper position due to the spring action of the linkage resilient element 40. At the same time, the linkage arms 20, the draw bar 26 and the driving arm 27 start to rotate back to their original positions while the buffer bearing 38 pushing against the auxiliary arm 28 so as to support the auxiliary arm 28 from being rotated downwardly simultaneously. Thus, there is also no displacement for the first drag element 211 so that during the pedal 17 starts to be lifting up of the pedal 17 to its original position, the first and second roller wheels 23, 24 and the active members 9 will remain in their still condition. Therefore, the user may easily lift his or her foot from the pedal 17.
When the pedal 17 moves to its highest position, the draw bar 26 rotates downwardly to its lowest position and hits the buffer pin 34. Since the buffer pin 34 and the buffer arm 38 are affixed to the buffer shaft 35, the buffer pin 34 overcomes the pulling force of the resilient element 36 and rotates downwardly due to the impact of the draw bar 26 so that the contact condition between the auxiliary arm 28 and the buffer arm 38 and the buffer bearing 33 will change accordingly and return to their original condition. Also, the limitation of the auxiliary arm 28 by the buffer bearing 33 is released and the auxiliary arm 28 starts to rotate downwardly by means of the elastic members 14, as shown in FIG. 10. At the same time, the first and second roller wheels 23, 24 start to rotate to their original position simultaneously and the active members 9 starts to move backwards to their original position under the spring action of the elastic members 14.
At this moment, since the clasping elements 91 of the active members 9 are clasped with the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 of the respective shoe cover 5, the active members 9 will drive the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 of the shoe cover 5 to move backwards. During such motion, since the fixed members 8 are located at a middle portion of the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 when the shoe opening 6 is which is enlarged by the active members 9 in the open-up condition, the fixed members 8 will hook on the upper side of the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 so as to render the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 separates from the clasping of the clasping elements 91 of the active members 9 while the lower side of the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 remains clasping by the clasping elements 91 of the active members 9 to move backwards, so that the shoe opening 6 is pulled to open accordingly.
Moreover, the sliding guides 15 are movably mounted on the frame 1 by means of the sliding guide shafts 16 to provide a one-way guiding ability so that, during the backward movement of the active members 9, the bearings 11 will not be limited by the sliding guides 15. In order words, during the backward pulling and opening procedures of the shoe opening 6 as described above, the active members 9 is ensured to remain in the open-up condition under the spring effect of the reset units 12 until they are return to their original position, as shown in FIG. 8, and thus the shoe opening 6 is completely opened up.
Since the pedal 17 is positioned below the shoe cover 5 with its shoe opening being opened, when the user place and step on the pedal 17 again, the stepping down of the shoe cover 5 will drive the elastic peripheral edge 61 of the shoe opening 6 downwards to separate from the active members 9 and the fixed members 8 while the holding member 39 is pressed to separate from the feeding rod 2 at the same time. Thus the shoe cover 5 will wrap over the user's shoe stepped on the pedal 17 to complete the wearing process of the shoe cover 5. Also, in this stepping process, the repeated downward stepping actions of the pedal 17 will drive the active members 9, the linkage arms 20, draw arm 26, the driving arm 27, the auxiliary arm 28, the first and second roller wheels 23, 24, the first and second drag elements 211, 212, and the buffer arm 38 will process the above actions repeatedly so as to accomplish the wearing of the shoe cover 5 on the user's shoe repeatedly simply by stepping on the pedal 17.
One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.
It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. It embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
