Abstract

Abstract 337,239. Weidner, E. Dec. 12, 1928, [Convention date]. Delivery of articles stored in piles; delivery of liquids.-In a machine for delivering, after a single coin insertion, a piece of soap, a towel, and a liquid such as eau-de-cologne, disinfectant or the like, a handle 2, Figs. 1 and 2, is pulled, after prepayment, to actuate a slide 13 having an ejector 14 to push out a piece of soap 15 from a tube 16 to a dish 7, and a spring plate 18 to deliver a towel through an opening 9. The towels 10 guided by rods 19 have short under-folds 11 in which the plate 18 engages. They are downwardly inclined and rest at their rear ends on a cross bar 20. The opening 9 is normally closed by a shutter 46 opened by levers 47 which are actuated by projections 49 on the slide. A slotted arm 26 on a vertical arm 23 of the slide actuates the crank arm 28 of a three-way cock 29. At the end of the forward movement of the slide, the cook is turned to close the passage 31 between a tank 30 and a measuring tube 32, and establish communication between the tube 32 and a discharge pipe 33 leading to a tiltable bowl 5. When the slide is returned by springs 22, the pipe 33 is closed and the passage 31 opened. Coin action, weight.-A coin, having passed through the usual tester 51, drops down a shoot 52 and tilts a balanced beam 41 which engages one end 40 of a doubly cranked wire 38 and rocks this so that, its other end raises a pivoted toothed pawl 34 out of the path of a pin 35 on the slide. The coin is drawn along the beam 41 by the slide and rolls down a bevelled portion 45 to the money box 44.
