Automat with single ejector mechanism for all goods columns - has conveyor unit with ejector lugs motor driven to control delivery of cartons

摘要

The transfer of cartons from a vertical magazine into a delivery chute is achieved by a conveyor belt loop with a pair of ejector lugs that contacts the bottom carton in the stack. The back edge of the lugs has a curved profile that maintains the stack at a tilted angle until the carton being ejected has cleared the unit. As the carton delivery is completed the tip of the ejector lug engages a pivoted link which has an L-shaped profile. The other end of the link is in contact with the actuator of an electrical switch. When tripped the switch is used to shut off power to the motor that drives the conveyor. The system remains at stead-still until coins are entered fro the next delivery.
