7 Claims.
My present invention relates to dispensers for ice cream cones and other cup pastry, and it particularly seeks to provide an improved'dispenser, one which will occupy a minimum of counter space, one which can be easily and arrangement of parts, all of which will be first i fully described in the following detailed description, and then be particularly pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. l is a side elevation of the dispenser.
Fig. 2 is an inside View of the removable cylinder unit.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a detail elevation of a portion of the apparatus later again referred to.
Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 9.
Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the parts shown in Fig. 9.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail elevation and part vertical section of a cone guides lower end.
Fig. 8 is a detail view on a smaller scale of the upper ends of Ytwo cone guides, showing how they are united.
Fig. 9 is a section on a larger scale, on the line 8 9 of Fig. 6.
Fig. 10 is a plan View of the apparatus, the ref movable cylinder unit of the magazine case being omitted.
Fig. l1 is a detail view of a lower connection used between two cone guides or cages and which cooperates with the holding clips 2|).
In the drawings, in which like numbers of ref erence indicate like parts in all the figures, I is a suitable base on which is a post or standard 2 "I carrying a bracket 3 that is welded or otherwise attached to the under side of the table 4. The table has a skirt 5 and a central raised disclike portion 6 apertured for the tubular screw 'I which is secured in place by nuts 8, the screw passing through washers 9 and the apertured end of the spring arm 23, later again referred to.- y
A lamp socket 35 is secured to the upper end of the screw 'I'he skirt 5 has an elongated L- slot I0 through which the magazine turning E or otherwise secured to the under side of the A table 4 and provided with three pairs of triangularly disposed hook-lugs I3 around which a resilient band I4 is passed to serveV as a cone stack support. A gate I5, pivotedv and operated by manipulating a knob I6, is mounted beneaththe table 4 to close the opening II.Y (In this Vapplication I-make no claim to the parts I2 to I6 inclusiveY as they constitute a part of the subject matter of my application Ser. No. 225,447, filed August 17, 1938.)
The cone magazine includes a bottom and a removable ltransparent (preferably) cylinder to which is fixed a top, the cylinder and top comprising a unit separate from thebottom of the magazine.
The bottom of the magazine consists of a rotatable plate I8 and a rim I'I rigidly connected to the plate I8. The plate I8 may have radial V, strengthening ribs I9 and it is provided with latch 22 and L-slot ID, as will later more fully' cone"guidecage` clips 2U, and a series of conepassing holes 2| symmetrically arranged about the axis of the magazine. Therim I'I has spaced notches 24, one for each hole 2|. 'Ihese notches cooperate with the magazine turning handleappear. The plate I8 is centrally apertured to fit over the central 'disc-like guide 6 and is held down on the tablev 4 by gravity 'and by a ring 25 removably secured toY the table and overlapping the joint between I8 and '6,"as clearly shown'in Figs. 9 and 10.
Removably mounted as a single unit on the bottom plate I8 of the magazine, is a cone guide cage. This cage is composed of a number of distinct units` 26, one for each hole 2|. Each unit 26 comprises a cage for a single stack of cones and consists of a lower tubular collar or base 21 formed by a sheet of metal bent back upon itself at 28, and over the lower portions of a set of wire rods 29. The rods 29 have notches 39 into which portions 3| kof the collar part 23 are pressed to lock the rods to the collar rigidly.
At the tcp the rods'29 are capped by a metal ring v32 bent back upon itself and secured by portions 3| pressed into notches 39 in the Yupper ends of the rods 29 (see Fig, 8)
AEach cone stack guide unit 26 is rigidly secured to those adjacent by means of upper and lower bridge pieces 33 and 34, respectively, so that all units 26 are united into a single cage which is placeable and'removable as a unit. The lower bridge members or connectors 34 (see Fig. 11) are H-shape to fit the clips 2|), and thus center the units 26 over the respective holes 2| with which they cooperate.
The magazine includes a cylinder36 (prefer- 31 to which a knob 38 is secured by a nut and bolt 39. The bolt 39 also serves to secure to the under side of the top 3'I a ioraminous cup 40 in which is a foraminous basket 4I containing a moisture absorber 42 of suitable material, and beside the basket is a cake 43 of iavoring material which gradually gives oi a suitable substance, such as vanilla for instance, which permeates the atmosphere within the magazine and keeps the cones from losing their natural iiavor and odor.
The cylinder 3B, when made of Cellophane or the like, preferably has its lower end reinforced by a metal band or ring 44.
Current is conveyed from an external source, through an on-off switch 46 on the base I via wires 45, to the lamp socket 35 in which a light bulb (not shown) is placed to illuminate the insideof the magazine.
It will be seen by reference to Figs. 1 and 4 that the slot I has a notch at one end only and is of a length to extend from one notch 24 to the next adjacent one. The notches 24 extend above the straight-way vpart of the slot I0. When it is desired to turn the magazine, handlelatch 22 is moved down and then to the left end (Fig. l) of slot I0 where it springs up into notch 24 at the left. By moving handle-,latch 22 from left to right the magazine II-3Ii-3'I and contents are carried one step to the right to bring another Stack of cones into dispensing position over hole H.
With the cages 26 lled with cones, the attendant opens the gate I5, whereupon the cones in the cage immediately above opening II drop until the stack rests on the band I4. They may then be removed, one at a time, by the Vattendant in the usual way. When the cage that is over hole I I is empty, the next one is brought into register by turning the magazine as heretofore described.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought that the complete construction operation and advantages of the invention will be clear to those skilled in the art to which it relates.
