Means are provided also for giving an additional signal when the last column of cups has been exhausted. Hold, store, and dispense cups easily with 5 and 6 stack cup turrets. Both Cup Holder (CH) and Cup Aligner (CA) are confroUed by a single geared DC motor (GW). Referring now in detail to the present preferred embodiment of the invention Illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in accordance with one feature of the invention means are provided for automatically positioning a paper cup or the like C below the end of a beverage delivery nozzle or the like in position to receive liquid therefrom. 
When all the cups are dispensed, the ECU automatically reloads the next stack of nested cups from next channel with the help of cup detection and Channel position sensors. Cup Aligner (CA) mechanism in to the slot and also avoids jamming of cups. The Electronic Control Unit ECU manages complete operations of the machine. The advantage of this machine is, it offers automatic Cup Dispensing, auto reloading of nested cup stacks. Before dispensing the cups, ECU checks the availability of cups in each channel. The height of the slots can also be increased for supporting more cup storage capability. The pinion is adapted to be rotated by a large gear 105 mounted on a 4 vertical shaft similarly fixed to the base plate 915. 1 is a detailed fragmentary view in vertical section of a cup supply and dispensing mechanism of my invention; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail in elevation of the top part of the mechanism shown in Figs. Number of channels of Stacks of nested cups can be customized from One channel up to N channels depending on the requirements and size constraints. As embodied a feeler arm 975', similar in function to the arm 975 previously described, is pivotally mounted at 976' for swinging movement under the influence of the cup-release operating solenoid 906. 1; Fig. All rights reserved. The uniqueness of this machine is its Cup Storage capacity and Auto dispensing of Cups.
A cylindrical casing 920 is mounted to extend above the base plate 915 and to house four vertical columns of cups. As will be clear from the drawings when the last or fourth tooth 120 has rotated to be held by the prong of pawl 110, then the longer tooth 146 will be moved to contact with the actuating arm 147 of switch 145 thereby to close said switch and thus to turn on the signal light 140 and keep same lighted throughout the time that the last column of cups is being used.
The Released Cup (RC) is now accessible to the user at Cup Exit (CE). 
5. Claim: 5 is a view similar to Fig. Prior Art: When the solenoid is energized by the closing of its control circuit the armature 905 will move to the right pulling the rod 904 and lever 903 against the tension of spring 907 to actuate the mechanism in the casing 910 for ejection of the lowermost cup C in the stack. The opposite end of arm 975' is adapted to swing against the operating lever of micro-switch 970 so as to close said switch whenever absence of cups in the active column C permits such full swinging movement. Rotary Cup Container (RCC): As shown, a coin chute 1003 is provided at coin-arresting station 1020 with a switch arm 1022 adapted to be depressed by the weight of the coin. 33010002000092 In this form the actuating mechanism and controls for rotating the stacks of cups in the supply magazine are mounted at the bottom of the device, that is, between the platform 915 and the bottom plate 921 of the casing 920. However, when the cups have become depleted so that the uppermost cup in stack C lies below the surface of plate 915 when it will be possible for the arm 915 to travel inwardly for the full limit of its stroke and thereupon its upwardly extending terminal 981 will come into contact with the depending leaf spring 982 of the micro-switch, thereby to close said switch and momentarily energize solenoid 960. number of slots as required by the desired Vending Machine application. Supplying components to the food, beverage, vending, and medical device industries for over 40 years. The rear edges of said ratchet teeth are beveled so that on the return or counter-clockwise movement of the plate they will move past the prongs of the pawl.
Fully Automatic Cup Dispenser substantially as herein described and illustrated in When said solenoid is in its idle or non-energized condition the armature 905 is largely withdrawn therefrom by means of a spring 907 one end of which is fixed to the bar 908 on rod 904 and the opposite end to a pin 909 at the base of the cup extracting casing 910. | Showroom What I claim is: 1. | Country Search It will be clear that inward movement of the arm 975 will cease when same encounters the edge of any cup or cups C in the space between the plates 921 and 915. The Fig.l shows the drawing of Fully Automatic Cup Dispenser mechanism. We also have a & Terms of Use. Hence actuation of the cup release rod 904 causes the coin to fall from its station 1020 and thereby reopens the circuit which had been closed by the presence of the coin at switch 1022. Cup Control Mechanism (CCM) incorporates Cup Holder (CH), Cup Aligner (CA), Rack and Pinion Geared Motor mechanism (GW), Movable Base (MB), Fixed Base (FB). dispenser cup paper These vanes are attached to a square central axle 931 which extends vertically the length of the casing 920. The circuit for said light is in parallel with the circuit for the solenoid 960' and the light is normally out by means of the normally open switch 145. 3. controlled hardware supported feature which makes the nested cups to load fi"eely As embodied, a second signal light 150 is provided with a micro-switch 155 which also lies in the path of movement of the tooth 120 of the plate 106. As embodied, the bottom of the central shaft 931' of casing 920 is provided with two drive holes 100 which are adapted to fit over two drive pins 101 in a drive pinion 102. A cup-dispensing mechanism for beverage vending machines including in combination means for supporting a plurality of vertical stacks of cups, a rotatable member centrally-disposed with respect to said stacks and having radiallydisposed vanes for imparting rotary movement to said stacks, an opening in one sector of said support and means cooperating therewith for removing cups from the bottom of the stack of cups aligned with said opening, solenoid-operated means for actuating said cup removal means, switch-operated means for controlling the rotation of said vanes, a switch-operating member actuated by said solenoid for closing said switch to effect rotational feeding movement of the auxiliary stacks" of cups toward the cup-delivery opening, said switch-operating member being restrained from switch-closing movement by the presence of cups in the stack aligned with the cun delivery opening. nested cups. 5; and ig. Fully Automatic Cup Dispenser offers automatic Cup Dispensing with automatic B2-20120091-4. As shown in Fig. A cup-dispensing mechanism including in combination, means for delivering a cup from the bottom of a stack thereof, means for holding an auxiliary stack of cups, a member moved by said delivery means transversely toward the first-mentioned stack and into contact with the side walls of cups therein, said member being restrained from further movement by said side walls but being movable a greater distance in the absence of such cups, means for moving the auxiliary stack of cups into the delivery position heretofore occupied by said first-mentioned stack, means for normally restraining such movement of the auxiliary stack, electrically controlled means for releasing said restraining means to permit said movement of the auxiliary stack, said electrically controlled means being energized to operate upon movement of the cup-contacting member beyond the side walls of the first stack of cups. The invention is primarily directed to providing means for automatically maintaining a supply of such cups in position for dispensing and periodically replenishing such supply from auxiliary stacks of cups as the initial stack thereof is depleted. Means are provided for causing the solenoid 960' to be energized to operate the pawl and ratchet escapement mechanism when the stack of cups aligned with the cup-dispensing opening 75' 927 is below the required level. Momentary energization of the solenoid 960 retracts stop 954 permitting the plate 950 to rotate and carry the shaft 931 and vanes 930 with it. 1.
5 and 6. Fig.2 represents the Cup Confrol Mechanism (CCM). Hence, the maximum tension of said spring is exerted when the maximum weight of cups is to be moved and as the spare stacks of cups are used, the tension in the spring diminishes proportionately with the weight of the cups to be moved. This system is ideally suited for Beverages/water/juice/aerated drinks/soup/Ice Cream/Noodles and other Fried Food Vending Machines. In accordance with the invention means are provided for maintaining multiple auxiliary columns of cups to be dispensed into the chute 901 and cooperating therewith automatic mechanism for advancing an auxiliary column of cups into operative relation with the cup ejecting mechanism when the column previously in that position has been depleted to a predetermined level. available cups in the slot and the confirmation of Cup dispense. In that operation it will be clear that there will be a remainder of a plurality of cups in the original stack C at the time that the new stack C1 is brought into position thereabove. This invention relates generally to Automatic Cup Dispensers. 1 with a diagrammatic showing of the operating circuits therefor; Fig. As embodied, the cup ejecting mechanism 910 comprises a cylindrical casing through which extend the cups forming the lower end of the column C being dispensed. As indicated in the drawing, spring 978 is without tension in the normal or inactive position of arm 975-that is, when the solenoid 906 is de-energized; while the tension on spring 980 is just sufficient to hold arm 975 out of contact with the cups. 
As will be clear from the foregoing, the exhaustion of the final stack of cups will cause the last tooth 120 to move past the pawl prongs and thus the plate 106 will undergo a slight additional rotation until the final longer tooth 146 encounters the prong of the pawl, thus stopping further rotation of plate 106. | The parts of said cup-release mechanism are substantially the same in this form as in that previously described and are similarly numbered and need not be described here in detail except insofar as they differ materially from the form previously shown. 12. Sensors and Rotary Cup Container Tilt feature. A cup-dispensing mechanism including in combination, means for holding a plurality of stacks of cups, means for removing and delivering cups from the bottom of one of said stacks, an electrical switch, means controlled by said switch for moving said stacks successively toward the cup removal and delivery means, and a member movable to actuate said switch, said member being restrained from reaching said switch by the presence of cups above a predetermined level in one stack being dispensed. Said design lends itself to cooperation with signalling means for indicating the condition of supply as :'' to the various stacks of cups in the magazine as hereinbefore described. The free end of bell crank arm 955 is connected to tension spring 961, the one end of which is fixed to the top plate 926 of the casing by bracket 962. When all the cups are dispensed, the ECU automatically reloads the next stack of nested cups from next channel with the help of cup detection and Channel position sensors. The present application is a continuation-inpart of my copending application Serial No. Rotary Cup Container (RCC) consists of Several Slots for Holding Cups (CS). 3) is automatically imparted thereto by actuation of the solenoid 906, that is simultaneously with actuation of the cup-release lever 903. The number of Slots (Channels) for Cups (CS) in Automatic Cup Dispenser depends on Cup Storage Capacity and Vending Machine Design Requirements. Thus when all the stacks of cups are exhausted said coin diverting mechanism is actuated to prevent coins from falling into the coin box and machine operating devices, the coins being diverted to return to the customer who, by virtue of the signal light 150, is informed that there are no more cups available. 1 and 2; Fig. As will be clear from the drawings, actuation of the cup-dispensing mechanism by means of the solenoid 906 will cause feeler arm 975' to swing toward the stack of cups C in the active column. Coin control means are provided for energizing the solenoid 906, said particular means, however, constituting no necessary part of the present invention. The Cup Dispenser is designed to hold several channels of Stacks of nested Cups. 3 of a modified form of the invention; Fig. Because of the fact thit the .inward movement of arm 975 is itself only momentary, it returns to its original position upon each stroke of the solenoid armature 905. Means for closing said switch to energize the light 140 comprises the final tooth 146 on plate 106, said tooth being longer than any of the four teeth 120. Cup Holder (CH) holds the cup firmly and Cup Aligner (CA) aligns the stacks of remaining nested cups when one single cup is dispensed. No problem! The closing edge of the door portion 924 is provided with a latch 925 to cooperate with the adjoining edge of the fixed part 920 (Figs. It is an electronic circuit board comprising a controller Chip, Currency/Coin input signal validators.
