Abstract: A stir stick dispenser (30) and a method for dispensing stir sticks (2) in a beverage vending machine (A), whereby a stir stick (2) is extracted from a stack (4) of stir sticks (2) via an extractor (31) reciprocatingly movable between a retracted rest position and an advanced extraction position and is expelled by moving it away from the extractor (31) and exerting, through a rocker lever, an expulsion thrust during the movement of the extractor (31) towards its advanced position.

Abstract: A roll (1) for soil consolidation or stabilization including a reticular structure having: first elements (3) spaced from each other and having an elongated conformation according to a first trajectory (T1), second elements (4) spaced from each other and having an elongated conformation according to a second trajectory (T2) transverse to the first trajectory (T1), the first and second elements (3, 4) intersect at nodes (5) to form meshes (6), wherein the reticular structure (2) is wrapped around a winding axis (X) to define windings grouped as: a first group of initial windings defined between a first inner winding (21) of the reticular structure and to an intermediate winding, and a second group of end windings defined between a final outer winding (23) of the reticular structure (2) and the intermediate winding.

Abstract: Stir stick dispenser and method for dispensing stir sticks in a beverage vending machine, wherein a stir stick is extracted from a stack of stir sticks, is supplied into a drop chute towards a beverage cup and is temporarily stopped in an intermediate point of the drop chute and before the stir stick enters the beverage cup by means of a pendulum member freely oscillating about a reciprocating hinge axis.

Abstract: A cup dispenser for a beverage vending machine and comprising a cup storage designed to dispense individual cups, a cup holder designed to receive a cup by gravity from the cup storage and hold the cup in an upright position, and a cup guide device, which comprises a stationary slide and an cup intercepting device arranged along the slide and designed to interact with the cup during the descent of the cup along the slide so as to slow down, and possibly temporarily stop, the descent of the cup.

Abstract: A beverage vending machine (1) comprising a cup storage (3), a cup support device (9) in a cup filling station (7), and a stirrer dispenser (6) to feed a stirrer (6a) to a cup (4) in the cup support device (9). The cup support device (9) is defined by a body in the form of an open ring (11) with a vertical axis (12), a cup supporting surface (15), and a lateral opening (13) to allow the cup to be transversally extracted from the open ring body (11). The supporting surface (15) has at least one projecting area (19) configured to cause the planarity of the cup supporting surface (15) imperfect so as to cause the cup (4) to tilt, with respect to the cup support device (9), in response to the supply of a stirrer (6a) to the cup (4).
