Description

Improved interconnecting device for interchangeable LED lights for vending tobacco vending machines

The present specification refers to an improved device for interconnection of interchangeable LED lights for vending tobacco vending machines, characterized in that it allows the lighting, in the tobacco vending machine, of one or more of the tobacco brand signage labels , by means of a connector that takes the current from the machine itself, a device that includes a multi-connection medium, to which one or several Led-type lights are connected, which are interchangeable, allowing different illumination of the labels after classification of the brand that It is intended to illuminate.

At present, in the vending machine sector, various devices are used to provide luminescence to the labels in order to enhance their visibility. On some occasions to allow a product to differentiate itself from the other products exposed in the vending machine, in others to visualize the cast of products in low visibility or light deficiency environments. This type of devices is not exclusive to vending machines, it is also applied in the advertising sector, in the security signaling devices, in the decoration, games, or automotive sectors, among others.

These types of devices or labels can usually come from the factory within the machine itself. But these devices do not allow the illumination of some transparency labels that we previously defined with the consequent discrimination of others, neither a choice in the color of the lighting, nor the possibility of making lighting sequences or leaving said lighting fixed. so that some transparency labels would be illuminated and others not. The adhesion of these devices means that their replacement is more difficult, not being the LED lights of the machine itself, which have the ease of being interchangeable or replaceable with others at any time.

In the same way in the case that the machine carried factory LED lights, the device also presents the novelty of providing more brightness to the labels illuminated with the present device, since these labels would be illuminated by the LEDS of the machine itself and also by those of the present device. Therefore the labels become more visible, with the consequent gain in visibility, thus demonstrating their novelty and usefulness in the device object of the present invention.

There is also the problem of being able to access to illuminate the labels by choosing the degree of luminosity, the color or the intensity of the light, especially in tobacco vending machines, where the environment in which the machine is located can be fully illuminated, by which is not enough with a normal fluorescence light. A degree of illumination greater than 100 cd per square meter would be necessary.

In order to solve the current problem regarding the problem of the use of a luminescence device in the sector of tobacco vending machines, the interconnection device of interchangeable LED lights has been devised, object of the present invention, which it consists of a device equipped with several LEDS connection stations, a lighting sequence switch button, the lighting or color sequence controller and a power connection station of the male connector type device to which a cable is connected of power supply to take energy from the tobacco vending machine. This power cable terminates in several connectors compatible with any of the types of tobacco vending machine operating in the market, which allows to obtain the energy of the tobacco vending machine itself.

The multi-connection device consists of several connection points for Led lights, which are male or female connectors compatible with the label connectors of vending machines of the vending type of tobacco, with LED lights of a specific size to be used in the Tobacco vending machine, must be very small measures to be coupled to the vending machine.

The multi-connection device is coupled to a lighting, intensity or / and color sequence controller that is a device that can allow intermittent lighting, even with different intermittency rates. You can also make color changes in the LED lights, and in turn can be placed in a fixed light position and you can choose the LED lighting color. The lighting sequences can be selected by means of a switching button allowing to choose a greater or lesser degree of luminosity or intensity of light, thus being able to regulate the final appearance that the transparency label will have with the tobacco brand that it illuminates. This controller is small in size, allowing greater versatility to be able to locate it in any available space inside the tobacco vending machine.

This improved device for multi-connection of interchangeable LED lights for vending vending machines of tobacco that is presented, provides multiple advantages over the devices currently available, being an important novelty that allows very quickly the exchange of said LEDs, which illuminate the corresponding tobacco brand, also reducing the difficulty of exchanging said labels as well as the controller that achieves the luminescence of said LED lights, also achieving greater savings or optimization of consumption by obtaining the energy of the tobacco vending machine itself, and do not need alternative sources or additional batteries or batteries, also achieving a saving in the space required inside the machine to hook the device due to its small size, both of the multi-connection device or the connection points of the LED lights and the controller that provides the luminescence to each label

Another important advantage is that, being equipped with independent and different current connection devices, the multi-connection device can be used in any tobacco vending machine, of all those operating in the market as vending machines for tobacco product type vending, even in the oldest ones, thus renewing their technology, optimizing their behavior and extending the years of use of said machine.

Another advantage of the present invention is that its manufacture is very simple and economical, in addition to having an easy and simple installation and replacement of the LED lights, allowing to easily choose at any time the brand of tobacco that the luminescence will use.

To better understand the object of the present invention, a preferred practical embodiment of an interchangeable tag interconnection device has been shown in the attached drawing.

In this plan, the first figure shows an example of a multi-connection device of interchangeable LED lights, showing the different component parts and the LED light.

Finally, the second figure corresponds to an example of a multi-connection device of interchangeable LED lights, showing the different component parts and three LED lights.
