Abstract

924,704. Vending equipment. SOLARTRON ELECTRONIC GROUP Ltd. April 28, 1961 [May 2, 1960], No. 15425/60. Class 116. Vending equipment for installation in a supermarket comprises display units 11 for a sample, dummy, illustration, or description of each of a number of different goods to be sold, a printing device associated with each representation and having a slot 12 into which the customer inserts an order card taken from a holder 13, and presses a button (not shown) to initiate the printing on the card of a plainlanguage and coded description, e.g. binary decimal, of the article and its unit price. The card is printed in one or more of the slots 12 as required, and is then inserted in a slot 20 in a reader 21, e.g. a machine as described in Specification 850,582, to generate electrical signals which are applied to a computer-programmer 22. The latter calculates the total price of the goods indicated on the card and feeds it back to the reader 21 where it is displayed visually to the cashier and the customer. The latter pays to coin-receiving means in the computer or to the cashier who transmits an appropriate electrical signal to the computer. When the customer has paid the cashier prints a receipt mark and a serial number on the card. Electrical signals representing the serial number and the type and quantity of goods are then fed from the reader 21 via the computer programmer 22, a display device 24, and a line 25 to the input mechanism 26 of an automatic warehouse, as described in Specification 924,703. The signals effect the transfer of the appropriate goods to conveyers 30 leading to a dispatch area 31. A supervisor at the display unit 24 may operate over-ride controls, e.g. to prevent overloading of the installation, and may operate " no stock " signals at the display units 11. The printing device in a unit 11 includes means for cutting or punching the card during printing so that it may be inserted to different extents in the different slots 12 so that the orders may be printed one beneath the other. The card may be marked visually and/or magnetically. Magnetic marking may be effected in an iron oxide layer deposited on the card, or by using ferromagnetic ink.
