  • Patent number: 4586633
    Abstract: This dispensing machine rack assembly is formed from a pair of complementary, individually molded rack portions interconnected in face-to-face relation to define a plurality of generally vertical container-receiving compartments. Each rack portion includes a plurality of vertically spaced ramps extending beyond the connection face of the racks and disposed in staggered, overlapping relation to the ramps of the other rack portion to provide a serpentine path for the containers. A container entry opening is provided at the upper end of the rack assembly and a container dispensing opening is provided at the lower end of the rack assembly. Each lower end opening is provided with a door having a container-receiving bin and a control means associated with the door to control movement of a container from the lower ramp into the bin.

  • Patent number: 4577780
    Abstract: An article-dispensing assembly including a door movably mounted on a plate for opening and closing an opening provided in the plate, the door including a shelf extending inwardly of the opening and providing a bin for holding an article to be dispensed. A control mechanism is movable to a first position to allow transfer of an article from a feed mechanism to the bin, and movable to a second position to block transfer of an article from the feed unit to the bin. An operating unit interconnects the control unit and door to allow loading of the bin when the door is in its closed position and to preclude loading of the bin when the door is moved from the closed position. A slide bar is slidably mounted and extends transversely of the bin. An interlock unit is movably mounted at one side of the opening to a first position that blocks sliding movement of the slide bar, and to a second position allowing sliding movement of the slide bar to an extended position.

  • Patent number: 4570821
    Abstract: An article-dispensing assembly including a door movably mounted on a plate for selectively opening and closing an opening provided in the plate, the door including a shelf extending inwardly of the opening and providing a bin for holding an article to be dispensed. A control mechanism is movable to a first position to allow transfer of an article from a feed mechanism to the bin, and movable to a second position to block transfer of an article from the feed unit to the bin. An operating unit selectively interconnects the control unit and door to allow loading of the bin when the door is in its closed position and to preclude loading of the bin when the door is moved from the closed position.

  • Patent number: 4337823
    Abstract: A rectangular enclosed electric furnace cabinet, for mobile and modular homes, has a downward blower which draws air downward from an upper wall duct inlet over electric resistance heaters and out through a lower wall duct outlet to the underfloor ducts of the home. A rectangular open frame member, mounting a louvered door, is secured to the cabinet upper wall at its forward end. After closet installation of the cabinet, final wall trim, adjacent to the cabinet sides and the open frame member, may be added. In use exclusively as an electric furnace, a furnace filter is secured beneath the upper furnace inlet by a pair of diagonally-crossed elongated clips. The cabinet is adaptable for use as the indoor unit of a central air conditioner or heat pump by the addition of an A-coil over the upper air inlet; then filters are provided instead on the upper sloping sides of the coil and the elongated clips are utilized to secure insulation sheet to the interior of the cabinet.

  • Patent number: 4097721
    Abstract: An electrical baseboard heater having multiple elongated electrical heating units aligned parallel to each other may be field wired at either of its ends. A preassembled heating assembly, when secured onto the base of the baseboard heater cabinet, forms a wiring raceway for return wiring from the nonadjacent terminals of the heating units and for secondary power supply wiring to the other end of the cabinet.
