Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of distribution of flexible media, such as postcards, envelopes, or the like, and relates to a device for distributing and selling such sup ⁇ ports.
- flexible media such as postcards, envelopes, and the like
- the distribution and sale of flexible media generally requires the presence of at least one person.
- postcards are arranged on rotating or fixed displays allowing customers to use and pay for their purchases by simply passing through the cash register.
- Such a distribution method also has the disadvantage of requiring constant vigilance by the service personnel against the theft of said cards, or the like.
- the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks. It has, in fact, for its object a device characterized in that it is essentially constituted by a piece of furniture shaped closed on three sides comprising a juxtaposition and a superposition of racks each containing a pack of flexible supports and a distribution means individual supports, by a selection and payment set for flexible supports, and by a device for closing the front face of the element provided, at the upper part of each rack, with a distribution opening, and under this opening of a housing for receiving a model of the flexible support contained in the corresponding locker.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view, on a larger scale of a rack
- Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 2 of an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- the device essentially consists of an element 1 in the form of a piece of furniture closed on three sides and which includes compartments 2 juxtaposed and superimposed, these lockers 2 each containing a pack of flexible supports and a means of individual distribution of said supports.
- the device according to the invention further comprises a set 3 for selecting and paying for flexible supports and a device 4 for closing the front face of the element 1 provided, at the level of the upper part of each rack 2 - A distribution opening 5, and under this opening 5 of a housing 6 for receiving a model 7 of the flexible support contained in the corresponding locker 2.
- each rack 2 is provided with a movable bottom 8 receiving the flexible supports 9 and loaded by springs 10, with an individual distribution means 11 in the form of a floating drive roller, an anterior inclined plate 12 pivotally mounted on the base of the rack 2 and bearing, in the service position, against the base of an outlet funnel spout 13 connected to the dispensing opening 5 of the closing device 4 , a movable access plate 14 also mounted on the base of the compartment 2, now in the closed position, ia inclined plate 12 in the operating position, and a posterior thrust plate 15 loaded by a spring 16 ⁇ and s pressing the support package 9.
- the drive roller 11 is mounted on the end of an arm 17, the other end of which is articulated in the upper part of the rack 2, is actuated by means of a coaxial stepping motor (not shown ) integral with the arm 17, and is provided with a coating 18 with a high coefficient of adhesion.
- This coating may be in the form of a layer of rubber, synthetic material, or the like, and is intended to allow movement of the support 9 located at the top of the package in direction of the outlet funnel spout 13 and therefore of the dispensing opening 5.
- the closing device 4 is in the form of a door hinged to an edge of the element 1 and is provided under each opening 5 with a transparent plate 20 closing the housing 6 for exposure of the support model 7, this housing 6 being constituted in the form of a receiving rail 21 applied against the internal face of the device 4, and each housing 6 is provided, preferably in a corner of the plate 20, with a reference number 22.
- the compartments 2 have, either all of an identical width allows the housing of identical supports, or 'different widths according to different sizes of supports.
- this assembly 3 can be completed by a money changer 24 'and by a obliterator 25, and being mounted in the element 1 according to a space corresponding to an alignment or to a grouping racks 2, the corresponding front surface being cut out in the closing device 4.
- the selection and payment set 3 can be arranged either on a lateral face of the element 1, or on a separate console.
- the assembly 3 can be completed, in addition, by a power-on indicator light 26 and by a user manual 27 on the front.
- each compartment 2 is provided with a counter 28 connected to an audible or luminous warning device at the end of the support package 9.
- the device according to the invention operates as follows:
- the number corresponding to the chosen medium can be dialed on the keyboard 24 which sends a control pulse to the motor of the drive roller 11 of the corresponding compartment 2, so that the support 9 is transported out of said compartment 2 through the opening 5 by rotation of one step of the motor, and is counted by the corresponding counter 28.
- the support 9 requires obliteration, it will then be introduced into the obliterator 25.
- the device can also be equipped with additional compartments with separate or simultaneous control for the distribution of means for receiving and dispatching the
- each locker 2 is provided with a drawer
- the roller 11 in the direction of the opening 5.
- the " parallel plates 19 'for guiding the outlet from the support are formed by a plate secured to the drawer 29 and by a plate secured to the front face of the element 1 , the closing device 4 being only provided with the opening 5.
- the micro-contact 32 detects any change in level, so that the output of the support 9 through the opening 5 causes an action of said micro-contact 32 and thus stopping the motor of the roller 11.
- Element 1 can be mounted on a base or on a console or suspended from a wall or other support. In addition, it is also possible to mount two elements 1 one against the other by their rear face.
- the element 1 can be mounted on a piece of furniture with lockable closure or attached to such a piece of furniture intended for the storage of supports 9 for restocking lockers 2.
