Abstract: A tile dispenser includes a tile chamber in which tiles are shuffleable and a gate element. The gate element is moveable between a closed position in which the gate element is loadable with one or more tiles coming from the tile chamber and an open position for dispensing any tiles that have been loaded into the gate element. A method of using the tile dispenser includes placing a plurality of tiles into the tile chamber in which the plurality of tiles are shuffleable and loading a predetermined number of the plurality of tiles into the gate element when the gate element is in the closed position. A method of manufacturing the tile dispenser includes providing the tile chamber, and providing the gate element in a location such that the gate element is loadable with one or more tiles coming from the tile chamber when in the closed position.

Abstract: The present application and the resultant patent provide a merchandiser. The merchandiser may include an ambient compartment with at least one ambient product therein, a temperature controlled compartment with at least one temperature controlled product therein, and a rotary internal transport system within the temperature controlled compartment so as to dispense a temperature controlled product in response to an ambient product being placed therein.

Abstract: The present application provides a merchandiser for dispensing a number of products. The merchandiser may include an a temperature controlled compartment with a number of concentric storage wheels for storing the number of products therein, an input system positioned about the temperature controlled compartment, and a vending system positioned about the temperature controlled compartment.

Abstract: The coin ejection unit comprises a case, a motor set, a plurality of ejecting plates, and coin storage canister. The case comprises a base, bottom cover and a rear plate, and a base portion comprising a plurality of coin hoppers. A motor set is attached on a side of the base portion. The motor rotates a dispensing axel, the biasing rollers presses against the corresponding buckling plates of the pulling plates to press the buckling plates inside the corresponding indented grooves of the sliding element, meanwhile the biasing roller of the motor case will make the connecting bar to move backward and forward pulling the sliding element and the pulling plate outwardly, as a result the blocking portion of the pulling plate will pull out a lower most coin stored in the coin magazines.

Abstract: A security device (10) to releasably secure articles in a queue, row or stack has a body (11, 12) to be clamped on one of the articles by a loop section (14) and lugs (17). A key (26) attached by a chain or cable to a second device (10) is received in a slot (30, 31) in the body and is releasably engaged by a peg (39) on a pivotally mounted operating arm (34), in a cavity (29) of the body entering a slot (27) in the key (26). The key (26) can only be released when a coin or token is received in a coin holder (47) in a pusher unit (48) which advances a tongue (40), the nose (41) of which engages a cam face (42) on the operating arm (34) to move the latter to release the key (26). The pusher unit (48) can only be moved to recover the coin or token from the coin holder (47) when the key (26) has been reinserted in the body and engaged by the operating arm (34).

Abstract: The invention relates to a deposit system installation for transport trolleys. This deposit system comprises a locking line constituted by a substantially horizontal bar and deposit system apparatuses which are connected to the trolleys, whereby there is cooperation of longitudinal sliding within the line. Each deposit system apparatus comprises a coin system arranged to permit the separation of the apparatus from the locking line by the introduction of a deposition such as a coin into the apparatus. This deposit may then be liberated by the passage of the apparatus over a decoding station which is part of the locking line.

Abstract: A trolley locking device of the type comprising two co-operating parts, one of which is attached to each of two trolleys and whereof one part is a lock unit and the other is a key unit. The key and lock units are adapted to be releasable locked together with a coin or token is introduced into a slot in the side of the lock unit which enables the key to move a plug inside the lock unit axially to free the plug for rotation between two terminal positions thereof. The key engages the coin or token which acts as the medium for creating axial movement of the plug which is biased against such movement. Co-operating formations on the plug and lock unit prevent rotation of the plug unless moved axially against the bias applied to the plug. The coin or token can only be removed while the key and lock unit are engaged and the key can only be removed from the lock unit when a coin or token is present in the latter.
