Definitions

  • This invention relates to an automatic dispenser for drinks stored in containers, and particularly in cans, comprising a refrigerated cabinet containing suitable holders for said containers and controlled dispensing devices for these containers.
  • Automatic dispensers for drinks in containers are available, of which the smaller ones are mainly suitable for dispensing drinks in cans and include a refrigerated cabinet containing holders formed from spiral channels, into which the cans are loaded in line to be fed by gravity to the dispensing devices consisting of star-shaped wheels or rotary drums.
  • the refrigerated cabinet is formed from box sheet metal walls filled with a foamed polyurethane sponge material.
  • the box sheet metal walls have a structural function, whereas the foamed polyurethane serves as acoustic and thermal insulation.
  • a structure of this type is relatively complicated and involves laborious construction which negatively affects the dispenser production cost.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerated cabinet with a structure of simplified design and construction, and having an efficiency at least equal to that of known types.
  • a drink dispenser characterised by comprising a refrigerated cabinet formed with integral walls constructed of a suitable plastic material with selected strength and thermal insulation characteristics.
  • said cabinet also comprises a lid with integral walls constructed of suitable plastic material with selected strength and thermal insulation characteristics, and is advantageously formed from a one-piece structure plus a lid, their walls being of high-density polyurethane of selected porosity, such as that known commercially as "BAYDUR No. 1681", into which the necessary inserts are incorporated for connecting determined components.
  • a lid with integral walls constructed of suitable plastic material with selected strength and thermal insulation characteristics, and is advantageously formed from a one-piece structure plus a lid, their walls being of high-density polyurethane of selected porosity, such as that known commercially as "BAYDUR No. 1681", into which the necessary inserts are incorporated for connecting determined components.
  • the reference numeral 10 indicates overall a refrigerated cabinet for a drink dispenser, the drinks being preferably contained in cans.
  • the refrigeration system for the cabinet 10 and the spiral holders contained in its interior, into which the cans are loaded, are not shown as they are of known type.
  • the cabinet 10 comprises a one-piece structure 11 with integral base wall 12 and perimetral walls 13, and a lid 14 also with integral walls 15, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • Inserts such as 16 for connecting determined components of the drink dispenser are incorporated into the walls 12, 13, 15.
  • the exit ports 18 for the cans are formed in the front wall 13 of the cabinet 10.
  • the walls of the one-piece structure 11 and lid 14 are formed of a suitable plastic material with selected strength and thermal insulation characteristics, and in this particular case high-density polyurethane of selected porosity, such as that known commercially as "BAYDUR No. 1681".
  • the one-piece structure 11 and lid 14 of the cabinet 10 are formed by an injection moulding process at atmospheric pressure, with the inserts cast-in. This process enables walls to be obtained which are formed of a sufficiently porous material to ensure the desired strength and thermal insulation characteristics.
  • the walls of the one-piece structure 11 and lid 14 are formed with their outer surfaces covered with a compact smooth film, suitable for painting.
  • the refrigerated cabinet 10 has the advantage of a substantial reduction in construction and assembly time and cost compared with conventional devices of the same performance.
