Abstract

1438823 Dispensing apparatus ELECTROTECNICA MELIA SA 30 July 1973 [29 July 1972 2 Feb 1973] 36233/73 Heading A4T Apparatus for dispensing articles, e.g. drink and/ or foodstuffs, comprises an article containing zone, mechanical means for preventing removal of articles, and electrical means for detecting removal of an article and registering same. In one emodiment the apparatus Figs. 2 and 3 comprises a cooling system, a zone 1 for ice-cube manufacture, a chilled zone containing three rows of receptacles for bottles, a thermally insulating wall 7 and an unchilled zone containing one row of receptacles for bottles. Each receptacle is mechanically closed by a tiltable bar 13 and tilting of these bars is prevented by slidable elements 9 and bars 17. To remove a selected bottle from a receptacle the elements 9 are slid horizontally until there is no such element at the selected receptacle. A switch 10 is also rotated to a position corresponding to the row containing the selected receptacle and causes raising of the bar 17 by electromagnets 118. The selected bottle can then be removed by tilting the associated bar 13. An electrical detector is associated with each bar 13 and when operated sends a signal to a computer, the computer attaches a “weight” to the signal proportional to the value of the bottle removed and the weighted signal passes to a register where the total value of all bottles removed from the apparatus is stored. If the apparatus is one of several in use, e.g. in a hotel, a register for each apparatus may also be provided at a central site and the signals from all the apparatus may be fed to a further register for stock control. In a second embodiment the bars 13 are replaced by swingable plates, Fig. 12. In the event of a power failure the electromagnets 118, Fig. 3, allow all the bars 17 to drop to prevent removal of any article, and the electrical circuit includes a memory for storing any information in process of transmission to the register(s). The cabinet containing the receptacles may be closed by a door lockable and openable by a servant key. If a master key is used to unlock the door this key also causes cut-out of the electrical circuitry so that empty receptacles can be refilled without affecting the register. The detectors may be photo-electric devices, capacitive transducers, inductive detectors, switches or reed switches and magnets. The cooling system, when provided, may use absorption, compression, or the Peltier effect.
