Patent

CA 2148628

The application discloses a device (10) to retrofit into the cabinet (11) of newspaper vending machine racks to prevent the removal of more than one copy of the newspaper for each vend or door opening of the cabinet (11). The single vend device (10) consists of a front panel (12) with a T-slot (14). The arms (14a) of the T-slot (14) are normally closed off with a pivoted closure plate (16). Con- sumer access to the newspapers is provided through the leg of the T-slot (14b), but the newspaper must be slid through the gap between the closure plate (16) and the front panel (12). The thickness of the gap is adjustable to selectively allow for the variation in thickness between various edi- tions of the newspaper. The closure plate (16) is spring loaded to be biased to the closed position. Following removal of the paper, the closure of the plate (16) and a locking pin (32) prevents the plate (16) from re-opening. The locking pin (32) is disarmed upon closure of the cabinet (11) door (25a).

L'invention a trait à un dispositif (10) de modification du bâti d'une distributrice (11) de journaux afin d'empêcher qu'un acheteur puisse prendre plus d'un exemplaire d'un journal ou pour empêcher que la porte de la distributrice (11) ne s'ouvre. Le dispositif (10) comprend un panneau frontal (12) dans lequel est aménagée une fente en forme de T (14). Les bras (14a) de la fente en forme de T (14) sont normalement fermés au moyen d'une plaque de fermeture pivotante (16). L'acheteur a accès aux journaux par la jambe de la fente en forme de T (14b), mais le journal doit glisser à travers l ouverture aménagée entre la plaque de fermeture (16) et le panneau frontal (12). La largeur de l'ouverture est réglable en fonction de l'épaisseur des différentes éditions de journaux. La plaque de fermeture (16) est retenue par un ressort qui la ramène en position fermée. Après que l'acheteur ait pris son journal, la plaque de fermeture (16) se referme et un goujon de blocage (32) empêche la plaque (16) de rouvrir. Le goujon (32) n'est plus en position de blocage dès la fermeture de la porte (25a) de la distributrice.
