Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a new improved vending machines for solid products, formed by a vending unit for solid products such as snacks and objects of a similar nature, which also provides space for the resting of the appropriate receptacles, containers of food, beakers of water, deposits for solid and liquid waste, and a vending machine for coffee and hot drinks which can be located in the upper part or on top of the vending machine of solid products the subject of the present invention.
  • the hot drinks machines have been used in which the upper body constitutes the machine itself, with its selection panel, cash input slot, drinks outlet, etc., while the lower body is merely a stand, as a form of support to the drinks machine, for the purpose of fifting it to the desired height.
  • this stand annexed to the machine houses the containers for the supply of liquids and receptacles for the removal of waste, both liquid and solid, the two units being connected through the corresponding pipes or connection conduits.
  • This tray although it is a convenience for the user, involves an inconvenience for the manufacturer or operator of this machine, given that it means another part to manufacture, transport and assemble, which increases the costs and the time of manufacture, service and assembly.
  • the intention is to palliate or avoid all these inconveniences.
  • This is based on the utilisation of one machine, divided into two principal bodies, the upper one where there is a vending machine for hot drinks and the other, lower body, where there is a vending machine for other solid products such as snacks, confectionery, etc.
  • this lower body serves, on the one hand, to house these receptacles, and on the other, serves as a support or stand for the hot drinks vending machine, and as a principle function it is destined to house a vending machines for solid products, placing the receptacles referred to in the posterior part where they are operational with respect to the upper machine, while hidden from the view of the user and separated physically from the area of display and sale of the solid products.
  • the advantage is maximum, taking into account that the same selector and information panel of choices can be used for both vending machines, eliminating elements accepting cash and notes for the consumption of the services, with the consequent saving of materials, time and maintenance.
  • the part which projects from the machine to form a tray can also be eliminated, since by configuring the upper surface of the lower unit somewhat larger than the base of the upper machine, this excess surface can be adapted to the purpose of supporting small objects, carrying out the same functions as a tray, in this way eliminating an extra part, with the corresponding saving in materials, time and costs in general.
  • Figure 1 A breakdown in perspective of a practical construction of the improved vending machine for solid products the subject of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 Seen in elevation, a front view of the vending machine for solid products with the coffee vending machine.
  • two machine bodies can be essentially distinguished, one below (2) vending solid products and another above (1), normally for hot drinks, with its corresponding selection panel (3), cash input slot (4), forming a support tray (5).
  • the lower vending machine for solid products (2) in spite of forming an assembly with the upper hot drinks machine (1), can operate independently, in the sense that the hot drinks machine (1) has available a choice selector (3) with its cash input slot (4), which can be shared with the machine vending solid products, the means for the delivery of the drink (6) and the normal mechanisms for this type of machine, although the coffee and hot drinks vending machine (1) has a relationship of dependence on the solid products machine (2) with regard to supply and drainage.
  • the vending machine (2) has available in its posterior part the housing and compartments (9) necessary for this purpose, with the openings (10) of connection between these receptacles and the hot drinks machine (1) above. Therefore this upper machine (1) is able to be mounted on top of the lower solid products vending machine (2).
  • a vending machine (2) of solid products preferably for articles associated with the hot drinks served by the upper machine (1), such as a display (11) of the products available, a drawer (12) for collection of the product selected, with the possibility of using a single cash input slot and general selector (3) of products in common for both machines.
  • the product selector (3) can be used independently for one single machine or for both, as can the cash input slot (4), and when these are used in common for both machines then only one set is needed, thus lowering costs and making the use of the machine easier.
  • the vending machine (1) for hot drinks is placed on top of the lower vending machine unit for solid products (2), and in the posterior part of this there is a volume (9) which houses the receptacles (7 and 8) as mentioned. With this arrangement of the machine, the solid products are displayed in the lower front part (11), and can be collected from the drawer (12) in the usual way.
  • the upper surface (5) of the solid products machine is used as a tray, without the need for different pieces, since the configuration of the lower unit forms this tray or table.
  • a combination machine comprising two vending machines, in which the upper part makes hot drinks available (1), and the lower part solid products (2), in addition to providing the housing of all the utensils and receptacles for the use and service of the hot drinks machine, obtaining in this way a greater usage of the available space and the means employed.
