  • Patent number: 4531654
    Abstract: A drink dispensing device which simulates the appearance and operation of a drill rig comprising a base structure on which is mounted a model of a drill rig, control circuitry, and a plurality of drink dispensers. Each drink dispenser comprises a solenoid which, when actuated, releases a predetermined amount of liquid into a collection device leading to a receptacle. The control circuitry includes a selection switch for selecting a drink dispenser solenoid. The circuitry energizes a selected solenoid, and an arrangement for causing the drill rig to lower a block and attached kelly bar to a predetermined lower position while rotating the kelly bar when the selected solenoid is energized. Upon reaching the lower position, rotation of the kelly bar is stopped and then the block and attached kelly bar are raised back to the upper position and stopped until a selection switch is again actuated.
