OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

the

The present invention relates to a device for the occupation of products in vending machines, specifically intended to conceal certain products intended for adults and which are obviously prohibited or not recommended for viewing and consumption by minors.

fifteen

The object of the invention is to prevent certain products in vending machines from being seen by minors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

twenty

As is known, there are vending machines for products capable of providing products of different types in a single machine.

25

However, there are vending machines whose products are specifically intended for adults, that is, adults, such as erotic products, alcohol, tobacco, among others, so that these products must be hidden from view. of minors and therefore avoid the temptation of consumption by these people.

30

There is no known system or means that reacts precisely to the occupation of products intended only for adults.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

35

He device that be advocates he has been conceived for solve the problematic

previously exposed, that is to say to empty the vacuum that involves occupying certain products provided in a vending machine, during a specific period of time

or during a certain time.

More specifically, the device of the invention is based on the fact that the trays destined to contain the products destined for adults are concealed by the shadow of the front part of the glass that incorporates the machine and after whose glass are the trays carrying the products.

That is to say, those trays destined to products that must be used in the sight of minors, have the particularity that their products can be hidden from the vision of the exterior, due to the shadowiness of the areas facing these trays, of so that this overshadowing can be done in many different ways, either by means of a mechanical element such as a rail or motorized blind that allows the product to be hidden and therefore its vision, or be a system in which the product is not lets see unless the tray is illuminated inside.

Likewise, the device can be materialized in an ectonic way to darken the tray or trays in question by special electromagnetically controlled crystals.

On the other hand, it is foreseen that the device is complemented with means that allow viewing of the trays containing the product intended for adults by means of the corresponding electronic ONI, since when introducing this, the processing means allow to check if the ONI introduced they correspond to an adult or a minor, so that in the first case it will allow the vision of the products due to the elimination of the darkening of the corresponding trays, and in the second case it will prevent the person who has entered the ONI from seeing the products of the trays for keeping the darkening.

Obviously, the darkening of the products contained in the corresponding trays may correspond to a certain strip or area, or even a permanent darkening by means that allow eliminating that darkening in accordance with the aforementioned medles.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will then be made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, in accordance with a preferred example of practical implementation thereof, a single sheet of said description is attached as an integral part of said description. planes where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented:

The unique figure represented in that sheet of plans corresponds to a schematic representation of what can be considered as a vending machine whose front has a glass through which a plurality of product-containing trays are shown.

PREFERRED REALIZATION OF THE NINVENTION

As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, the device of the invention is intended for application in product vending machines (1), with its classic keyboard (4) for product selection and purse (5), whose front has a glass (2) through which the products contained in a plurality of trays (3) and (3 ') are shown, the trays (3) corresponding to products that can be seen and consumed by people of any age, while in the trays (3 ') will correspond to products only visible and consumable by adults or adults.

In the scheme shown, two trays (3 ') containing adult products and four trays (3) for products for any consumer are shown.

Well, depending on the device, the trays (3 ') containing the products intended only for adults will present a darkening frontally to prevent the vision of those products contained in the trays (3'), allowing to see the vision of the products contained in the tray (3), in such a way that the device can be materialized by means of a simple motorized blind, that is to say of rise and fall and that it can be operated in a programmed way during a certain time, etc., being able to be

5 also constituted by a film of tinting of moons that in normal situation hides the products contained in the trays (3 '), while when the interior of those trays (3') is illuminated, the product of the same can be seen.

It is also possible that the products contained in these trays (3 ') can be hidden, that is to say obscured by an appropriate electronic system, which can also be programmable in a certain section.

In any case, the device can be complemented with an electronic ID reader (6) so that it is inserted through a slot or located by a dephant of these means

15 allow to establish the DNI of an adult or not, in the first case allowing the elimination of the darkening of the trays (3 ') containing adult products, and in the second case making it impossible to eliminate that obscuration and preventing therefore the vision of the products contained in those trays (3 ').

20 In this way it is achieved that the automatic vending machines of products are more versatile, since they will prevent the vision of certain products to those minors, whose products can be tobacco, alcohol, erotic, etc.
