Dispenser of rented objects with electronic charging meter

摘要

The present invention relates to a dispenser of objects to be hired with charging meter, especially for snooker balls, characterised by an electronic device with microcontroller and by the software which drives it: The box (1) acts as receptacle for the rented objects. The objects are accessible after opening a door (4) which can be shut by a lock (5). The opening of the door (4) triggers a charge proportional to the time of use. The closing of this door and the presence of all the hired objects, halts the charge. The hourly rate and cost of rental are displayed respectively on digital displays (2) and (3). The charge parameters can be modified from an external control box (6), or from the computerised communication interface inside the box. <IMAGE>
