Convention date, March 14, 1934. [Classes 27 and 116] Coin action, mechanical - connection; coindischarging mechanism.-A coin-freed device for dispensing measured quantities of a beverage directly from the containing bottle comprises a pump barrel 1, Fig. 1, insertable into the neck 40 of the bottle, and a cylindrical plunger 5 operating in the barrel 1 to discharge liquid drawn into the lower part of the barrel through a fixed central tube 4 communicating with a delivery spout 8, non-return valves being provided at the entry 14 to the barrel 1, and at the entry 15 to the tube 4. In operation, a coin is passed down a shoot 11, and comes to rest at 16 against a fixed abutment where it serves to transmit the thrust of a push-member 18 to the plunger 5 which ojects the liquid in the lower part of the barrel 1 through the central tube 4. The push-member 18, when released, returns quickly under the action of a spring 12, but the plunger 5 returns slowly under the action of springs 7 so that the coin is disengaged and falls into a receptacle 20. The device shown in Fig. 3 is adapted to be mounted on the mouth of an inverted bottle, or a side orifice 32, Fig. 4, of the bottle. It comprises a rotary tap-member 22 provided with a measuring-out cavity 41 in its periphery. An inserted coin is received by adjacent apertures 27 in a pair of discs 24, 25 connected respectively with an operating handle 21 and the member 22. The rotation of the handle 21 is thus transmitted by the coin to the member 22, which moves to bring the cavity 41 from the bottle outlet to a delivery spout 28 through which the liquid in the cavity is discharged. When the coin passes beyond an abutment 19, it is discharged by the outward thrust due to the action of a return spring 30 on the member 22. The handle is returned when released by a spring 29. In Fig. 4 supports 37 for glasses are provided on a base member 36.
