- the flap 28 is pivoted about the pivot axis 27 and in this way the lower housing part 26 is covered with the flap 28.
- flap 28 and discharge table 29 are rigidly coupled, so that with closing the flap 28 of the discharge table 29 about the pivot axis 27 in Figure 4 is folded down, and - as best of the FIG. 6 results - the lid is ejected via a disposal opening 31 in the direction of arrow 32 and, for example, a collecting container is supplied.
- a lid is requested by the lid dispenser module 1 by a control device, not shown.
- the through-opening 13 of a single magazine 9 is initially - or already in preparation - arranged in alignment with the passage opening 20 of the chute 15.
- the squeegee 16 engages through the passage opening 20 upwards and sucks in the associated single magazine 9 in the removal direction foremost cover.
- the cover is pulled over the separating devices 14, so that they optionally brush off or restrain subsequent or slightly entangled further covers from the sucked-in cover 13.
- the flap 28 of the dispensing device 6 is opened at the same time and the removal table 29 is pivoted into the removal position.
- the negative pressure is deactivated, the squeegee 16 is lowered through the passage opening 20 under the chute 15 and the cover slides by gravity automatically on the chute 15 on the discharge table 29.
- the user now has the opportunity To remove the lid and then manually put on a cup containing a hot beverage.
- control technology can be provided that after a defined period of time, the flap 28 closes automatically, thus the discharge table 29 is guided to the disposal position and the lid not removed is disposed of via the disposal opening 31 in the direction of arrow 32. Also optionally, it can be provided that a disposal is carried out as soon as a new hot beverage is requested.
- FIG. 7 shows a hot beverage dispenser 33 with an integrated lid dispenser module 1 according to the preceding figures, of which, however, only the dispenser 6 can be seen in the installed state, since the other components of the lid dispenser module are installed in the closed housing of the hot beverage dispenser 33.
