Definitions

  • the present patent application for industrial invention relates to a product dispensing machine.
  • Said product dispensing machines comprise a box-shaped frame with a front wall, which is usually transparent, a back wall, two side edges and one compartment defined by the front wall, the back wall and the side edges.
  • the machine comprises a storage compartment disposed inside the compartment.
  • the storage compartment comprises a plurality of support surfaces, disposed one above the other and suitable for supporting the products.
  • Each support surface comprises a free front edge.
  • the frame comprises partitions in parallel position to the side edges and disposed on the support surfaces in such a way to divide the support surface into channels.
  • the products are disposed on the support surfaces in rows defined by the partitions.
  • the first product is disposed near the free front edge of each support surface.
  • the frame comprises an outlet for dispensing the products from the machine.
  • the outlet is obtained on the front wall and is disposed under the support surfaces.
  • the support surfaces have a lower width than the side edges, in such a way that a conduit is formed between the free front edge of the support surfaces and the front wall to let the products pass beyond the free front edge of the support surfaces.
  • the conduit ends in the outlet.
  • the dispensing machine comprises movement means suitable for pushing the products beyond the free front edge of the support surfaces.
  • the dispensing machine comprises one movement means for each row of products.
  • the most common movement means consist in a spiral that is revolvingly mounted in one of the channels.
  • the spiral has the same length as the channel and comprises a first end, which is connected to actuation means disposed on the back wall of the frame, and a second end, which is disposed on the free front edge of the support surface.
  • the products are disposed between the turns of the spiral. By rotating the spiral, the products are pushed forward in the channel until the first product of the row passes beyond the free edge and falls into the conduit.
  • the products are stored in the storage compartment in columns disposed on a support surface and laterally contained by a pair of side edges.
  • Each movement means comprises a jack for each column.
  • Each jack is suitable for pushing the product disposed in the lowest position of the column beyond the free edge of the support surface.
  • a first drawback is experienced when the first product of a row or of a column of products is not ejected correctly following to the action performed by the movement means; in some instances, said product is jammed in said spiral or between the free front edge and the front wall of the frame. In such a case, the product cannot fall into the conduit, preventing all products in the row or in the column from being ejected.
  • the product becomes a sort of "plug" that prevents the movement means from moving the other products in the row or in the column.
  • a second drawback consists in the fact that it is necessary to provide one movement means for every row of products. Consequently, the production of said dispensing machines is time-consuming and expensive because of the high number of movement means that needs to be provided.
  • a third drawback occurs when one of the products disposed in said row or in said column of products is jammed, blocking the entire row or the entire column.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art by disclosing a product dispensing machine that is capable of dispensing the products also when a product of a row is jammed.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to disclose a product dispensing machine that comprises a dispensing device that allows for dispensing multiple rows of products; in particular, reference is made to the case in which identical products are to be stored in several rows in the storage compartment; in such a case, according to the prior art, a number of movement means equal to the number of rows is to be provided, it being evident that each of said movement means is affected by the aforesaid drawbacks.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to disclose a product dispensing machine that is efficient, practical, inexpensive and simple to make.
  • a product dispensing machine comprises a storage compartment comprising one lower support surface and at least one upper support surface. Each support surface is intended to support a row of products and comprises a free front edge.
  • the product dispensing machine comprises a partition disposed in frontal position with respect to the free front edges of the support surfaces, as well as two side edges disposed in frontal position with respect to the storage compartment.
