Abstract

The device allows cups to be stored and to be dispensed on request. It is formed of a cylinder 1 having an opening 3 into which the cups 12 are inserted; the first cup 12 is held by its rim by stops 7 mounted on leaf springs 8 and hidden from sight to the users by the support 9. The lower part of the cup 12 is outside the opening 5; by gripping the cup 12 by its visible part and by exerting a pressure by pulling downwards, the stops 7 are forced apart to allow the cup 12 to pass. Two lugs 10 welded to the support 9 have perforations 11 allowing the cylinder 1 to be fixed to a wall. A lid 4 closes the opening 3 by engaging with the rim 2. The device according to the invention is particularly designed for the dispensing of disposable cups.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet a titre de produit industriel nouveau un dispositif pour distribuer des gobelets a jeter. The subject of the present invention is, as a new industrial product, a device for dispensing disposable cups.

Que se soit dans les maisons, fast-fccds,usines,etc,les gobelets se trouvent n'importe où et sont soumis à toutes les poussières. Whether in homes, fast-fccds, factories, etc., the cups are located anywhere and are subject to all dust.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet le stockage des gobelets dans un même endroit, fermé, aidant a une quasi pro-. The device according to the invention allows the storage of the cups in one and the same place, closed, helping a quasi-pro-.

preste et de les distribuer à la demande. performs and distribute them on demand.

Le cylindre dont le diametre intérieur est légèrement su périeur a celui des gobelets, comporte deux orifices, un pour 1'introduction des dits sobelets et l'autre pour la distribu-tion. A sa base deux ouvertures diamétralement opposées, ou sont insérées deux butées légèrement obliques comme présenté sur les figures. Ces butées sont soudées a des ressorts lamelles. qui sont eux memes soudés par un de leurs extrémités sur l'extérieur du cylindre. Introduit dans le cylindre par l'orificç supérieur le premier sobelet est bloqué et soutenu par les butées à son listeau. Toute la partie inférieure du dit gobelet se trouve alors hors du cylindre, ce qui permet de la saisir et de la tirer vers le bas, obliseant les butées a s'écarter pour libérer le sobelet; le suivant est bloqué a son tour avant qu'il ne sorte. The cylinder, the inner diameter of which is slightly greater than that of the cups, has two openings, one for the introduction of the said cups and the other for the distribution. At its base two diametrically opposite openings, where two slightly oblique stops are inserted as shown in the figures. These stops are welded to leaf springs. which are themselves welded by one of their ends to the outside of the cylinder. Introduced into the cylinder by the upper orifice the first sobelet is blocked and supported by the stops at its strip. The entire lower part of said cup is then outside the cylinder, which allows it to be grasped and pulled down, obliterating the stops to move aside to release the sobelet; the next one is blocked in turn before it leaves.

Selon l'invention, le procédé de fabrication du cylindre est obtenu à partir d'une bande de metal"senre fer-blanc" auquel on fait prendre la forme demandée. According to the invention, the cylinder manufacturing process is obtained from a metal strip "tin plate" which is made to take the requested form.

La figure I représente en coupe, le dispositif selon I tinvention. Figure I shows in section, the device according to I tinvention.

La figure 2 représente en coupe, une variante de ce dispositif. Figure 2 shows in section, a variant of this device.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 1 comporte un cyl indri(1) ayant un diametre intérieur légèrement supérieur aux diamètres des gobelets(12), la hauteur n'est nullement limitative, un listeau(2) est soudé sur l'extérieur de l'orifice(3) pour permettre l'emboitement du couvercle(4) en plastique. A la base de l'orifice(5) deux ouvertures(6 > opposées sont pratiquées dans le cylindre(1) insérées dans les dites ouvertures(6) deux butées(?) obliques qui permet de retenir le premier gobelet(12) par son listeau. Les butées(7) sont soudées b deux ressorts lamelles(8). Ces ressorts lamelles(8) sont eux mêmes soudés sur l'extérieur du cylindre(1) par un de leurs extrémités. Un support(9) englobe la partie inférieure du cylindre(1) formant cache et soude au dit cylindre(I). Au dessus des ressorts lamelles(8) le support(9) est légèrement bombé permettant aux ressorts lamelles (8) de travailler normalement. Deux Pattes(10) sont soudées sur le suPport(9), des perforations(11) sont pratiquées dans les dites pattes(l0) permettant la fixation du dit cylindre(1) sur un mur. The device represented in FIG. 1 comprises an indri cylinder (1) having an internal diameter slightly greater than the diameters of the cups (12), the height is in no way limiting, a strip (2) is welded on the outside of the orifice (3) to allow the fitting of the plastic cover (4). At the base of the orifice (5) two openings (6> opposite are made in the cylinder (1) inserted in said openings (6) two stops (?) Oblique which allows to retain the first cup (12) by its The stops (7) are welded to two leaf springs (8). These leaf springs (8) are themselves welded to the outside of the cylinder (1) by one of their ends. A support (9) encompasses the part lower of the cylinder (1) forming a cover and weld to the said cylinder (I). Above the leaf springs (8) the support (9) is slightly curved allowing the leaf springs (8) to work normally. welded to the support (9), perforations (11) are made in the said legs (10) allowing the fixing of the said cylinder (1) on a wall.

Il est bien entendu que la presente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et réprésenté qui constitue seulement un exempie auquel de nombreuse modifications peuvent être apportées sans qu'on s'écarte de la présente invention. It is understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown which is only an example to which numerous modifications can be made without departing from the present invention.
