专利汇可以提供Ejecting dispenser for articles in apertured envelopes专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且This invention provides a coin-operated dispenser comprising a cabinet including a storage compartment for receiving a stack of individual envelopes carrying an article to be dispensed, a support wall inside the cabinet against which the envelopes are stacked, a dispensing opening in the cabinet located in general alignment with the support wall, and a coin acceptor mechanism supported from the cabinet and having a member which is movable relative to the support wall and the stacked envelopes in a direction away from and toward the dispensing slot. The coin acceptor mechanism member is selectively connectable to the envelope nearest the support wall to move this envelope along the support wall and through the dispensing opening as the coin acceptor mechanism member is moved from a position remote from the dispensing opening towards the dispensing opening. With this arrangement, relatively flimsy articles, such as folded road maps, can be stored in their own envelope which envelope also cooperates in individually dispensing one article upon each operation of the coin acceptor mechanism.,下面是Ejecting dispenser for articles in apertured envelopes专利的具体信息内容。

3. A device according to claim 2 wherein each of said panels are generally rectangular with one longitudinal side and the ends of facing panels being joined and the remaining longitudinal sides being unconnected to define said pocket and the opening thereinto, and wherein said envelope means are arranged with one of the ends thereof directed toward said dispensing opening.
4. The device according to claim 2 wherein each of said panels are generally rectangular with the two longitudinal sides and one end of each of the facing panels being joined with the remaining ends being unconnected to define said pocket and the opening thereinto, and wherein said envelope means are arranged with the closed ends thereof directed toward said dispensing opening.
5. A device according to claim 2 wherein each of said panels are generally elongated having opposite ends one of which is directed toward said dispensing opening, and each of said apertures include oppositely arranged edges extending transversely of the longitudinal axis of the respective panel and each of said aperture edges are bowed generally outwardly toward a respective one of said panel ends.
6. A device according to claim 5 wherein said aperture edges are generally arcuate.
7. A device according to claim 5 wherein said aperture edges each comprise first and second linear portions arranged at an angle to each other.
8. A device according to claim 2 wherein said means for connecting said coin acceptor mechanism member to said envelope means comprises a bracket connected to said coin acceptor mechanism member which bracket extends through said support wall opening and fits into said aperture of said nearest envelope means during movement of said coin acceptor member from the operating position toward the dispensing position to thereby move said nearest envelope means through said dispensing opening.
9. A device according to claim 8 including means for biasing said stacked envelope means against said support wall.
10. A device according to claim 9 wherein said coin acceptor mechanism member, after insertion of a coin in said coin acceptor mechanism, is movable past a coin accepting position during movement towards the operating position; and said biasing means comprises a plate adapted to engage said envelope means located farthest from said support wall, said plate including means which, when all of said envelope means have been dispensed, extends into said support wall opening and is engaged by said bracket to limit movement of said coin acceptor mechanism member toward the operating position and thereby prevent a coin from being accepted by said coin acceptor mechanism.
11. A device acCording to claim 2 including means engageable, when said storage compartment is emptied of envelope means, by said dispenser means for movement in response to coin acceptor movement toward said dispensing position into a position extending through said dispensing opening.
12. A device according to claim 2 including a plate adapted to engage said envelope means located farthest from said support wall, an indicator member, and support means connecting said indicator member to said plate for sliding movement on said plate while exposing a portion of said indicator member toward said support wall, said support means positioning said indicator member at said support wall opening when said storage compartment is emptied of envelope means for engagement and movement, in response to coin acceptor movement toward said dispensing position, with said dispensing means into a position extending through said dispensing opening.
