Description

La présente invention a pour objet un distributeur automatique de produits sur lesquels une pression ne peut être exercée et destinés à être vendus à l'unité ou en nombre déterminé, en particulier produits de boulangerie ou de pâtisserie.The subject of the present invention is an automatic distributor of products on which pressure cannot be exerted and intended to be sold individually or in a determined number, in particular bakery or pastry products.

On connaît déjà des distributeurs automatiques qui se répartissent en deux catégories, à savoir une première catégorie comprenant les distributeurs, utilisés pour délivrer des cigarettes, de la confiserie, etc., dans lesquels les produits sont empilés et soumis à une pression pour tomber, un à un, dans un tiroir dont l'ouverture est commandée par un dispositif de paiement et une seconde catégorie comprenant les distributeurs , utilisés pour délivrer des produits ne pouvant, d'une part, être empilés et, d'autre part, être soumis à une pression, tels que plats préparés, pâtisserie, etc..., dans lesquels chaque produit à distribuer est enfermé dans un compartiment, chaque compartiment du distributeur étant fermée par une porte dont l'ouverture est déclenchée par un dispositif de paiement.Automatic dispensers are already known which fall into two categories, namely a first category comprising the dispensers, used to deliver cigarettes, confectionery, etc., in which the products are stacked and subjected to pressure to fall, a to a, in a drawer whose opening is controlled by a payment device and a second category comprising the distributors, used to deliver products which cannot, on the one hand, be stacked and, on the other hand, be subjected to pressure, such as prepared meals, pastries, etc., in which each product to be dispensed is enclosed in a compartment, each compartment of the dispenser being closed by a door, the opening of which is triggered by a payment device.

Il est évident que les distributeurs faisant partie de la première catégorie susdite présentent l'inconvénient de ne pouvoir être utilisés pour distribuer des produits qui ne peuvent être ni empilés ni soumis à une pression, tandis que les distributeurs appartenant à la seconde catégorie présentent divers inconvénients, tels que : nécessité de disposer d'une grande surface pour mettre tous les compartiments à la disposition du public, nécessité de surveiller pratiquement constamment pour regarnir les compartiments vides, coût élevé de ces distributeurs du fait du système de fermeture de chaque compartiment, risques considérables de dégâts par effraction, etc...It is obvious that the distributors belonging to the first category mentioned above have the disadvantage of not being able to be used to distribute products which cannot be neither stacked nor subjected to pressure, while the distributors belonging to the second category have various disadvantages, such as: need to have a large area to make all the compartments available to the public, need to monitor almost constantly to replenish empty compartments, high cost of these dispensers due to the closure system of each compartment, considerable risk of break-in damage, etc.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et de procurer un distributeur à grande contenance dont la partie accessible au public est de superficie réduite, cette superficie correspondant à la dimension d'un compartiment contenant le produit à distribuer et à la dimension du dispositif de paiement. Ce distributeur, tout en permettant de voir le produit distribué, permet de réduire sensiblement les risques d'effraction puisque seul le produit exposé peut être enlevé. En outre, la capacité de chargement de ce distributeur permet d'espacer les opérations de remplissage.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to provide a large-capacity dispenser, the part of which is accessible to the public is of small area, this area corresponding to the size of a compartment containing the product to be dispensed and the size of the payment device. This dispenser, while allowing to see the dispensed product, significantly reduces the risk of break-in since only the exposed product can be removed. In addition, the loading capacity of this dispenser makes it possible to space out filling operations.

A cet effet, suivant l'invention, le dis- tabuteur comprend uncodoir fixe ouvert à ses deux extrémités, une de celles-ci étant accessible au public tandis que l'autre est inaccessible à ce dernier, un portillon mobile agencé dans le couloir à proximité de son extrémité accessible au public, des moyens de commande du portillon pour le déplacer entre deux positions extrêmes, une position de fermeture et une position d'ouverture dudit couloir, une série de compartiments mobiles réunis entre eux, régulièrement espacés et renfermant chacun le produit ou le nombre déterminé de produits à distribuer, ces compartiments étant agencés et guidés pour se présenter un à un à l'extrémité ouverte du couloir opposée à celle présentant le portillon, des moyens pour déplacer pas à pas et suivant une direction déterminée les compartiments, un pas correspondant soit à la distance que doit parcourir le compartiment situé en amont du compartiment placé en regard de l'extrémité susdite du couloir pour occuper la position de ce dernier compartiment, soit à un multiple de cette distance, un dispositif de paiement associé aux moyens de commande du portillon et aux moyens déplaçant pas à pas les compartiments susdits, pour que l'introduction d'au moins une pièce de monnaie provoque, dans l'ordre, l'ouverture du portillon, la fermeture de celui-ci et le déplacement d'un pas des compartiments et des moyens de détection de produit à distribuer associés au dispositif de paiement pour rendre ce dernier inopérant quand le compartiment situé en regard de l'extrémité susdite du couloir ne contient pas de produit à distribuer.To this end, according to the invention, the dispenser comprises a fixed codoir open at its two ends, one of these being accessible to the public while the other is inaccessible to the latter, a movable gate arranged in the corridor to proximity of its publicly accessible end, means for controlling the gate to move it between two extreme positions, a closed position and an open position of said passage, a series of mobile compartments joined together, regularly spaced apart and each containing the product or the determined number of products to be distributed, these compartments being arranged and guided so as to be presented one by one at the open end of the corridor opposite to that presenting the gate, means for moving step by step and in a determined direction the compartments, a step corresponding either to the distance that the compartment located upstream of the compartment must face over the aforementioned end of the corridor to occupy the position of the latter compartment, or to a multiple of this distance , a payment device associated with the gate control means and the means moving the above-mentioned compartments step by step, so that the introduction of at least one coin causes, in order, the opening of the gate, the closing of the latter and movement of the compartments and of the means for detecting the product to be dispensed associated with the payment device by one step in order to render the latter in operating when the compartment located opposite the above-mentioned end of the corridor does not contain any product to be dispensed.

Suivant une forme de réalisation de l'invention, le distributeur comprend des moyens de détection d'un corps étranger présent entre l'extrémité du couloir où est située le portillon et le compartiment précité, ces moyens étant associés aux moyens de commande du portillon pour retarder la fermeture de ce dernier jusqu'à la disparition du corps étranger.According to one embodiment of the invention, the dispenser comprises means for detecting a foreign body present between the end of the corridor where the gate is located and the aforementioned compartment, these means being associated with the gate control means for delay closing the latter until the foreign body disappears.

Suivant un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, le distributeur comprend des moyens de détection du produit à distribuer agencés pour détecter la présence dudit produit dans un nombre de compartiments consécutifs déterminé situés directement en amont du couloir précité en considérant le sens de déplacement des compartiments, ces moyens étant associés à un dispositif avertisseur destiné à prévenir du moment où les compartiments du distributeur doivent être regarnis.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the dispenser comprises means for detecting the product to be dispensed arranged to detect the presence of said product in a determined number of consecutive compartments located directly upstream from the aforementioned corridor by considering the direction of movement of the compartments, these means being associated with a warning device intended to prevent the dispenser compartments must be refilled.

Suivant une forme de réalisation particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, seule la face des compartiments se présentant à l'extrémité du couloir susdite est ouverte, de sorte que l'on ne peut accéder, à travers le couloir et le compartiment situé à l'extrémité de celui-ci, aux compartiments voisins de ce dernier compartiment.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, only the face of the compartments appearing at the end of the aforementioned corridor is open, so that one cannot access, through the corridor and the compartment located at the end of the latter, to the compartments adjacent to the latter compartment.

Le distributeur automatique suivant l'invention et représenté aux dessins est destiné à délivrer des produits ne pouvant être ni empilés, ni subir une pression et en particulier des produits de boulangerie ou de pâtisserie.The automatic dispenser according to the invention and shown in the drawings is intended to deliver products which cannot be stacked or subjected to pressure, and in particular bakery or pastry products.

Ce distributeur 1, dont seule la partie comprise dans le rectangle 2 représenté en traits interrompus à la figure 1 est accessible au public, comprend un couloir 3 fixe et ouvert à ses extrémités 4 et 5, l'extrémité 4 étant accessible au public tandis que l'extrémité 5 est inaccessible à ce dernier, sauf bien entendu si le prix du produit est acquitté ; un portillon mobile 6 agencé dans le couloir 3 à proximité de son extrémité 4 ; des moyens de commande 7 du portillon 6 pour le déplacer entre deux positions extrêmes, c'est-à-dire une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture dudit couloir 3 ; une série de compartiments 8 mobiles qui sont réunis entre eux et régulièrement espacés les uns des autres, ces compartiments, qui renferment chacun le produit ou le nombre déterminé de produits 9 à distribuer, étant agencés et guidés pour se présenter un à un à l'extrémité 5 du couloir opposée à celle présentant le portillon 6 ; des moyens 10 pour déplacer pas à pas et suivant la flèche 10' les compartiments 8, un pas correspondant soit à la distance que doit parcourir le compartiment immédiatement voisin et situé en amont du compartiment placé en regard de l'extrémité 5 du couloir pour occuper la position de ce dernier compartiment, un . dispositif de paiement 11 associé aux moyens de commande 7 du portillon et aux moyens 10 déplaçant pas à pas les compartiments 8, pour que l'introduction d'au moins une pièce de monnaie provoque, dans l'ordre, l'ouverture du portillon 6, la fermeture de celui-ci et le déplacement d'un pas des compartiments ; le distributeur comprenant encore des moyens de détection 12 de produit à distribuer associés au dispositif de paiement 11 pour rendre ce dernier inopérant quand le compartiment 8 situé en regard de l'extrémité 5 du couloir 3 ne contient pas de produit à distribuer.This dispenser 1, of which only the part included in the rectangle 2 shown in broken lines in FIG. 1 is accessible to the public, comprises a corridor 3 fixed and open at its ends 4 and 5, the end 4 being accessible to the public while the end 5 is inaccessible to the latter, except of course if the price of the product is paid; a movable gate 6 arranged in the corridor 3 near its end 4; control means 7 of the gate 6 for moving it between two extreme positions, that is to say an open position and a closed position of said passage 3; a series of movable compartments 8 which are joined together and regularly spaced from each other, these compartments, which each contain the product or the determined number of products 9 to be distributed, being arranged and guided so as to be presented one by one to the end 5 of the corridor opposite to that having the gate 6; means 10 for moving the compartments 8 step by step and along the arrow 10 ′, a step corresponding either to the distance that the immediately adjacent compartment must travel and located upstream of the compartment placed opposite the end 5 of the corridor to occupy the position of the latter compartment, a. payment device 11 associated with the control means 7 of the door and means 10 moving the compartments 8 step by step, so that the introduction of at least one coin causes, in order, the opening of the door 6, the closing thereof and the displacement of 'one step from the compartments; the distributor further comprising means 12 for detecting product to be distributed associated with the payment device 11 to render the latter inoperative when the compartment 8 located opposite the end 5 of the corridor 3 does not contain any product to be distributed.

Pour enlever le produit contenu dans le compartiment 8, après l'ouverture du portillon 6, il est nécessaire d'engager la main et l'avant- bras dans le couloir 3. Pour éviter tout accident, pouvant résulter de la fermeture dudit portillon, le distributeur comprend des moyens de détection 13 d'un corps étranger présent entre l'extrémité 4 du couloir où est située le portillon 6 et le compartiment 8 précité, ces moyens 13 étant associés aux moyens de commande 7 du portillon pour retarder la fermeture de ce dernier jusqu'à la disparition du corps étranger. En d'autres termes, le portillon ne se fermera que lorsque le produit 9 et la main qui le tient auront été dégagés du couloir 3.To remove the product contained in compartment 8, after opening the door 6, it is necessary to engage the hand and forearm in the corridor 3. To avoid any accident, which may result from the closing of said door, the dispenser comprises means 13 for detecting a foreign body present between the end 4 of the corridor where the door 6 and the aforementioned compartment 8 are located, these means 13 being associated with the control means 7 of the door to delay the closing of the latter until the disappearance of the foreign body. In other words, the gate will only close when the product 9 and the hand holding it have been released from the corridor 3.

Pour éviter qu'un utilisateur du distributeur puisse enlever, pour le prix d'un seul produit et par ouverture du portillon 6, plusieurs produits, seule la face des compartiments 8 se présentant à l'extrémité 5 du couloir est ouverte, de sorte que l'on ne peut accéder, à travers le couloir 3 et le compartiment 8 situé à l'extrémité de celui-ci, au:: compartiments voisins de ce dernier compartiment.To prevent a user of the dispenser from being able to remove, for the price of a single product and by opening the door 6, several products, only the face of the compartments 8 at the end 5 of the corridor is open, so that you cannot access, through corridor 3 and compartment 8 located at the end of this one, at :: neighboring compartments of this last compartment.

Pour réduire au minimum la surveillance à exercer sur le distributeur, celui-ci comprend avantageusement des moyens de détection 14 du produit à distribuer agencés pour détecter la présence dudit produit dans un nombre de compartiments 8 consécutifs déterminé situés directement en amont du couloir précité, en considérant le sens de déplacement des compartiments, ces moyens 14 étant associés à un dispositif avertisseur sonore ou lumineux, non représenté, destiné à prévenir du moment où les compartiments du distributeur doivent être regarnis.To minimize the monitoring to be carried out on the dispenser, the latter advantageously comprises means 14 for detecting the product to be dispensed arranged to detect the presence of said product in a determined number of consecutive compartments 8 located directly upstream from the aforementioned corridor, considering the direction of movement of the compartments, these means 14 being associated with a sound or light warning device, not shown, intended to warn of when the distributor compartments must be refilled.

Les compartiments 8 sont avantageusement constitués par des balancelles 15, en forme de U, suspendues et articulées en 18, par les ailes 16 du U, à deux chaînes sans fin parallèles 17, supportées par des roues dentées 19, 19' et 19" agencées sur des arbres 20 dont les axes sont horizontaux, pour que le plateau 21 des balancelles, correspondant à la base du U et sur lequel est déposé le produit 9 à distribuer, reste en position sensiblement horizontale. Un moteur-réducteur 22, commandé à partir du dispositif de paiement 11, entraîne pas à pas les chaînes sans fin 17, le couloir 3, de section carrée ou rectangulaire, étant horizontal tandis que les brins 23 des chaînes sans fin amenant les balancelles en regard de l'ouverture 5 de ce couloir sont verticaux. Pour assurer un entraînement régulier des chaînes 17 par le moteur 22, les roues dentées 19 et 19" sont montées par paire, sur un arbre unique 20, 20" et sont calées,par paire, sur ces arbres 20 et 20", tandis que chacune des roues dentées de renvoi 19 sont montées folles sur les bouts d'arbre 20 afin de ne pas entraver le passage des balancelles 15.The compartments 8 are advantageously constituted by swings 15, U- shaped, suspended and articulated at 18, by the wings 16 of the U, with two parallel endless chains 17, supported by toothed wheels 19, 19 'and 19 "arranged on shafts 20 whose axes are horizontal, so that the plate 21 of the swings, corresponding to the base of the U and on which the product 9 to be dispensed is deposited, remains in a substantially horizontal position. of the payment device 11, drives the endless chains 17 step by step, the corridor 3, of square or rectangular section, being horizontal while the strands 23 of the endless chains bringing the swings facing the opening 5 of this corridor are vertical. To ensure regular drive of the chains 17 by the motor 22, the toothed wheels 19 and 19 "are mounted in pairs, on a single shaft 20, 20 "and are braced, in pairs, on these shafts 20 and 2 0" while each of the toothed wheels 19 for reference are mounted idle on the shaft ends 20 so as not to hinder the passage of cradles 15.

Pour empêcher, à travers le couloir 3, d'avoir accès à d'autres balancelles que celle dans laquelle se trouve le produit dont on a acquitté le prix, une paroi verticale 24 est prévue du coté des balancelles opposé à l'ouverture 5 du couloir 3 pour former le compartiment 8 précité, la distance séparant les balancelles et les dimensions de ces dernières étant telles que lorsque le plateau 21 d'une balancelle est dans le prolongement d'une des parois horizontales 25 du couloir 3, le plateau 21 d'une balancelle immédiatement voisine est dans le prolongement de l'autre paroi horizontale dudit couloir 3, la distance séparant les ailes 16 du U formé par les balancelles étant sensiblement égale à la distance séparant les parois verticales 26.To prevent, through the corridor 3, from having access to other swings than that in which is the product for which the price has been paid, a vertical wall 24 is provided on the side of the swings opposite to the opening 5 of the corridor 3 to form the aforementioned compartment 8, the distance separating the swings and the dimensions of the latter being such that when the platform 21 of a swing is in the extension of one of the horizontal walls 25 of the corridor 3, the platform 21 d an immediately adjacent swing is in line with the other horizontal wall of said corridor 3, the distance separating the wings 16 from the U formed by the swings being substantially equal to the distance separating the vertical walls 26.

Le portillon 6 a une superficie légèrement inférieure à celle de la section du couloir 3, ce portillon étant articulé le long d'une des parois 25 de ce dernier, l'articulation étant agencée, de manière à ce que, d'une part, le portillon soit situé entièrement dans le couloir 3 quelle que soit la position qu'il occupe et, d'autre part, que ledit portillon se rabatte, en position d'ouverture, sensiblement parallèlement à la paroi 25 sur laquelle il est articulé, les moyens de commande 7 du portillon 6 comprenant un moteur 27, connu en soi, qui, à l'arrêt, constitue un frein empêchant, la manoeuvre manuelle du portillon. Ce moteur 27 entraîne une tringlerie 2S déplaçant le portillon suivant la flèche 29 pour son ouverture.The gate 6 has an area slightly smaller than that of the section of the corridor 3, this gate being articulated along one of the walls 25 of the latter, the articulation being arranged, so that, on the one hand, the gate is located entirely in the corridor 3 whatever the position it occupies and, on the other hand, that said gate folds down, in the open position, substantially parallel to the wall 25 on which it is articulated, the control means 7 of the door 6 comprising a motor 27, known per se, which, when stationary, constitutes a brake preventing the manual operation of the door.

C'est ainsi que l'on pourrait notamment prévoir un distributeur permettant de vendre des produits différents. Dans ce cas, suivant l'invention, ce distributeur comprendrait, associé au dispositif de paiement;un sélecteur permettant de déterminer, en nombre de pas, le déplacement des compartiments qui est nécessaire pour amener en regard du couloir 3 le compartiment 8 contenant le produit désiré. Dans ce cas, les produits devront être régulièrement répartis dans les compartiments 8 pour qu'un produit soit toujours distant d'un produit de même nature d'un même nombre de compartiments.This is how we could in particular provide a distributor to sell different products. In this case, according to the invention, this distributor would include, associated with the payment device ; a selector making it possible to determine, in number of steps, the displacement of the compartments which is necessary to bring the compartment 8 containing the desired product opposite the corridor 3. In this case, the products must be regularly distributed in compartments 8 so that a product is always distant from a product of the same kind by the same number of compartments.

On pourrait encore prévoir d'associer aux commandes décrites ci-dessus des commandes manuelles permettant l'ouverture et la fermeture du portillon 6 ainsi que l'avance des balancelles 15.Provision could also be made to associate the commands described above with manual commands allowing the gate 6 to be opened and closed as well as the advance of the swings 15.
