Title: Improvements in or relating to machine for vending bottles
Inventor: ANDREWS BOLEY ADAM
IPC: G07F11/58
Filed: 1951-01-02
Abstract: 684.806. Coin-freed bottle-delivery apparatus VENDO CO. Jan 2. 1951 No 136/51. Class 27 [Also in Group XXX] A machine for vending bottles singly from crates comprises a cabinet with a delivery aperture closed by a series of gates corresponding to the number of bottles in a row, means for advancing and inclining the crates to bring each row of bottles in succession to rest opposite the delivery aperture, and means for opening the gates in succession to allow the bottles to slide one at a time from the crates on to a tray. Each crate 40, Fig. 4, is inserted in a carrier 38 and retained therein by a stop 52 and a hook 56 mounted on a spring 54. Each carrier is attached to a shaft 48 freely rotatable in bearings which are fixed to the links of two parallel endless chains 16 driven by a motor 36. The sprockets around which the chains pass are so disposed that as the bottom row of bottles approaches the sprocket 25, their stoppers come into contact with resilient members 60 and as, the shaft 48 approaches and passes over the sprocket, the bottom row of bottles passes off the members 60 into engagement with gates 62. These gates are pivotally mounted on a rod mounted in brackets 90 extending from a panel 64 of the casing and have extensions 98 which are engaged by a series of cams 94 fast on a shaft 92. Each cam has a notch 96 which co-operates with an extension 98 to allow the gates to open in succession. Since there are six gates in the construction shown, each cam is displaced 60 degrees with respect to its neighbours. The shaft 92 is driven by a motor 104 controlled by a switch 108, Fig. 7, which is actuated by a notched cam 110. Each gate has a switch 116, Fig. 8, which is normally closed when the gate is shut, but is opened as the gate opens by the engagement of the extension 98 with the arm 118. The last gate in the series carries a switch which is held open until the bottle released by the opening of the gate is within the tray 100. The closure of the switch causes the actuation of the motor 36 for a time sufficient to position the next row of bottles in vending position. Any undelivered bottles are retained in the crate by a pivoted member 68, Fig. 4, which is moved to the left by the engagement of a carrier with the extensions 74 and returned to its initial position by springs 72 when the engagement ceases. Guides 78, 84, 86 and 88 co-operate with rollers on the carriers to prevent collisions between ascending and descending carriers, The machine is set into operation when a switch (not shown) is actuated by any well-known type of coin-controlled assembly.

Title: Improvements in display apparatus
IPC: G09F11/06
Filed: 1925-01-03
Abstract: 246,291. McDonald, L. R. Jan. 3, 1925. Hinged elements, rotary apparatus with. -In display apparatus in which flexible placards are partly wound round a rotatable drum 11, and are released and allowed to unroll, one by one, to drop into view position, the placards 68 hang resting against a fixed slanting support 65, for viewing through a window 2, with the bottom of the rear placard bearing against a series of blocks 67 of rubber &c. on a cross-bar 66 of the support. The transference of the rear placard to the front position is effected by the intermittent rising and falling of the drum through a small arc, with simultaneously a partial rotation. This drags away the rear placard from the blocks 67 and, when the drum falls, brings its upper surface into contact with constantly rotating rubber or like rollers 63 which lift the placard by friction over the drum till it drops at the front bv gravity. The mechanism for moving the drum 11 consists of a constantly rotating cam 27 which acts on a roll 26 on an extension 24 of one of two swing links 9 by which the drum shaft 10 is suspended from a rod 7. Gravity and detent pawls 34, 20 engage teeth 21 on one of the drum flanges and effect step-by-step rotation of the drum as it swings up and down about the rod 7. The drum with its placards, links 9, and rod 7 mav be lifted bodily out of the casing 1 and replaced by another drum &c. The cam 27 and rollers 63 are driven by worm and pinion gearing from a motor 41, the speed of which can be regulated by a brake consisting of a disc 45, on the motor shaft, carrying downwardly-projecting masses 46 which tend to fly outward and bend the disc into dish form at high speeds, the bent disc bearing against an adjustable friction collar 44. The bearings for the cam 27 and the rollers 63 are eccentrically mounted for adjustment, and the shaft of the rollers 63 has a flexible connection with its driving gear. The placards are mounted on the drum by folding one end around flexible strips sprung into sockets in the drum end flanges.
