Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for vending vision enhancing equipment, preferably binoculars, in spectator facilities.
  • Figure 33 is a side sectional view of the security cable device shown in Figure 31;
  • the seat 104 to the which the mounting plate 130 is attached is a pivotal facility seat which is spring biased such that it will rise to an upright position when no one is sitting on the seat.
  • the mounting plate 130 may also be attached to the back side of a seat or other structure (not shown) and will preferably have the same features as the housing interface surface 131 of the plate 130 showing Fig. 9. The other features, particularly those related to the interface with the structure will be varied from structure to structure as required.
  • the binoculars 102 are preferably good binoculars which provide the patron or spectator with a good view of the events taking place in the respective facility, race track, sports center or the like.
  • the binoculars preferably are 7 power X 50 mm (7 X 50). It will be appreciated that any other binoculars can be provided, for instance, 5 X 25, or 8 X 55 can also be used. Low power binoculars are often ideal for the opera, concerts, speaking events and the like. Additionally, the binoculars are preferably of a rugged construction which enables the binoculars to withstand use at outdoor facilities and use and abuse by spectators.
  • the mounting plate 130 includes an edge portion 134 with a projecting angled portion 144.
  • the mounting plate edge portion 134 is also tapered to accept the mounting member edge 136.
  • the edge portion 144 of the mounting plate engages the edge portion 142 of the mounting member.
  • the mounting member 132 slides onto the mounting plate 130 so that the edge surfaces 142 and 144 engage to retain the vending apparatus 100 against the seat bottom 106.
  • the mounting member 132 includes a spring-loaded restraining pin 140 extending upward from the surface of the mounting member.
  • Figs. 11 and 16 there is shown the door lock and release mechanism 150 for door 114.
  • the door 114 In its closed position, the door 114 is retained by restraining members 156 extending on either side of the door which engage tabs 158 on the door.
  • the door 114 is normally urged toward its open position by a spring 152 connecting the door to the housing but is prevented from opening by the restraining members 156.
  • the restraining members 156 are urged upward by a spring 160 pressing against washers 162.
  • Each restraining member 156 inserts through and is aligned by a mounting member 154 attached to the frame 120.
  • end member 192 which includes a groove 194 formed therein with inner and outer annular walls.
  • a recoil stop device 196 mounts over the end of member 192.
  • the recoil stop device 196 includes a pivoting weight 198 connecting to cover member 200 and a guide member 202 which inserts into the groove 194, as shown in Figs. 27 and 28.
  • the clips retain the spool end plates 188 and the slotted portions of the axle 172 extend through end members 180 and 192.
  • a guide member 206 inserts into orifice 210 through the recoil housing 204 to engage the grooves of the spool 186.
  • An orifice 212 is formed in the outer housing 204 to allow cable to feed therethrough.
  • the sizing member 234 When the token 218 is inserted into the slot 118 of the token-actuator mechanism 230, the sizing member 234 is positioned so that the sidewalls 274 of the channel 272 are disposed substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the slot 118.
  • the channel 272 is dimensioned such that the sidewalls 274 contact and retain the raised position 222 of the token 218 when the token is inserted in the slot 118. More particularly, the raised portion 222 of the token 218 is dimensioned to have a particular height (H), width (W) and angled edge ( ⁇ ) so that the sidewalls 274 of the channel 272 contact the angled edge 224 of the raised portion 222 when the token is inserted in the slot 118.
  • H height
  • W width
  • ⁇ angled edge
  • a lock cylinder 306 is provided to release the retainer member from the second locked position.
  • the lock cylinder 306 having an arm 308 is rotatably disposed adjacent the retainer lock mechanism 290.
  • the lock cylinder 306 is designed for use with a key (not shown) which engages the lock cylinder 306 to rotate the arm 308.
  • the key engages the lock cylinder to rotate the arm in a counter-clockwise position toward the retainer lock mechanism.
  • the eyepiece portions of binoculars 102 never physically contact the eyes or face of a user as the raised eyepiece portions 324 cover the rims around the binocular eyepieces. This prevents dirt and oil from building up on the binoculars 102 and eliminates extensive cleaning of the binoculars. It can be further appreciated that the binocular body does not retain grease or oils from either the face or hands as the portions are not gripped, as they are also covered by the sleeve 320.

Abstract

On décrit un distributeur de jumelles destiné à être fixé à une structure, de préférence une assise ou un dossier de siège ou un piédestal. Ce distributeur comprend des jumelles, un boîtier renfermant ces jumelles de façon à pouvoir les libérer, un mécanisme de rappel fixé au boîtier, un câble permettant d'attacher ces jumelles au mécanisme de rappel, un dispositif à jetons qui actionne ce distributeur, et une plaque de montage fixée à la structure, le boîtier ne pouvant se monter sur la plaque de montage que quand cette dernière est fixée à la structure. Le mécanisme de rappel comporte de préférence un poids pivotant qui bloque et libère un mécanisme d'interruption de rappel. Le câble d'attache est construit de préférence en acier inoxydable trempé et il est fixé aux jumelles à une extrémité et au mécanisme de rappel à l'autre extrémité. Le dispositif à jetons est commandé de préférence par des jetons biseautés comportant une base en forme de disque et une partie surélevée à bord incliné. Une gaine souple destinée à recouvrir les jumelles est également fournie.
