  • Patent number: 9595151
    Abstract: It comprises reception means for enabling coins to access the coin mechanism; identification means for determining the acceptability, type and value of the accessing coins; a coin storage compartment for selectively housing and delivering the coins destined for being refunded to a user, where the coin storage compartment comprises a plurality of tubes, according to rows and columns; extraction means for selectively extracting the coins from the tubes; and raising means for selectively raising any of the tubes during extraction of the coins, in order to momentarily provide a space for each coin to exit without colliding with the adjacent tubes. It allows greater optimisation of the use of the space destined for the coin mechanism, particularly the coin storage compartment.

  • Patent number: 9380909
    Abstract: Water distributor comprising: a first hot water inlet pipe with two outlets; a second pipe with first inlets, each of them being connected to the corresponding first outlet by means of a third pipe, said second pipe further comprising several second outlets; a rod having at least one narrowing and sliding within said second pipe by action of some actuating means; and water tightness means situated on both sides of each of the second outlets. The positioning of the narrowing of the rod with respect of the water tightness means of each outlet determines whether water will be allowed to flow through said outlet or not. Advantage: guaranteeing that the opening and closure of the different water outlets correspond with the selection made by the user.

  • Patent number: 9330519
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic dispensing machine having an elevator for transporting the products from the tray area to the collection box, which increases the capacity of the products that can be dispensed, in addition to increasing the machine's capacity due to the fact that it can store a larger number of products for being subsequently dispensed, due to the fact that the elevator comprises a rotatable upper lid which allows the rotating shaft of the product collection door to be disposed at a greater height than the upper lid of the elevator, thereby increasing the capacity of the elevator and that of the products that can be dispensed, as well as the number of tray rows.

  • Publication number: 20160104336
    Abstract: It comprises reception means for enabling coins to access the coin mechanism; identification means for determining the acceptability, type and value of the accessing coins; a coin storage compartment (3) for selectively housing and delivering the coins destined for being refunded to a user, where the coin storage compartment (3) comprises a plurality of tubes (39, 40, 43, 44), according to rows (F1, F2) and columns (C1, C2, C3, C4); extraction means for selectively extracting the coins from the tubes (39, 40, 43, 44); and raising means for selectively raising any of the tubes (39, 40, 43, 44) during extraction of the coins, in order to momentarily provide a space for each coin to exit without colliding with the adjacent tubes (39, 40, 43, 44). It allows greater optimisation of the use of the space destined for the coin mechanism, particularly the coin storage compartment (3).

  • Patent number: 7819281
    Abstract: A unitary extractor system of products for vending machines, which products are to be found stored in compartments or ducts of different trays, includes a traction belt mounted in the open central part of the base of each compartment or duct, to which belt are joined a diversity of separator pieces for the products. The traction belt (5) incorporates a plurality of small pieces (6), with a slight inclination towards the rear part, joined to respective teeth, and a support body (7) for the last product (2) to dispense, with its support surface slightly inclined towards the rear part. The body (7) is secured to the teeth of the traction belt (5) as it advances, and in such a way that it is pulled on the lateral surfaces (4) making up the base of the compartment or duct (1).

  • Publication number: 20100200607
    Abstract: Extractor system for cans and bottles for dispensing machines, useful in all types of coin-operated can and bottle dispensing machines, wherein the cans or bottles are stored in a compartment in columns arranged in two rows in quincunxes and wherein the lowest can or bottle is supported on the extractor mechanism itself in the rest position thereof and which when rotated enables the exit of the can or bottle between the former and the lowest side of the lateral wall of the storage compartment, comprising a first stationary axle; a second axle with a polygonal cross-section and a number of cams fitted on the second polygonal axle and associated with each of the unitary extractor mechanisms through a housing.
