Apparatus And Method For Loading Ice Into A Storage Bin

US Patent:
5884502, Mar 23, 1999
Filed:
Sep 25, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/924606
Inventors:
Brian Carter Jones - Collinsville CT
Richard Norman Chasse - Morris CT
Jeffrey Alan Rutchik - North Easton MA
Robert Allen Crosby - Marshfield MA
David George Kmetz - Douglas MA
Assignee:
IMI Wilshire Inc. - Anoka MN
International Classification:
F25C 518
US Classification:
62344
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a combination ice chute and ice bin covering door for directing ice into the ice storage area of an ice or beverage dispenser. The ice chute cover is pivotally secured to a top surface of the beverage dispenser so that it can move from a closed position to an ice directing/loading position. In the closed position the ice chute cover serves to cover an opening to the ice storage area of the dispenser. A handle on the chute cover can be grasped to manually swing it between both positions. In the ice loading position a portion of the chute extends outward of the perimeter of the beverage dispenser. In operation, the handle is used to move the chute cover from the closed position to the loading position. A bucket of ice can then be lifted so that the open end thereof rests on the lip of the chute cover. The bucket can then be tipped upward so as to empty its ice contents onto the bottom surface of the chute cover.

Beverage Dispenser Having Improved Actuator Mechanism

US Patent:
5881917, Mar 16, 1999
Filed:
Sep 5, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/924366
Inventors:
Brian Carter Jones - Collinsville CT
Jeffrey Alan Rutchik - North Easton MA
Robert Allen Crosby - Scituate MA
David George Kmetz - Douglas MA
Assignee:
IMI Wilshire Inc. - Anoka MN
International Classification:
B67D 556, B67D 552, H01H 3538
US Classification:
222129
Abstract:
A dispenser includes a plurality of beverage dispensing valves mounted thereto along a front end thereof Each valve includes an air switch that is pneumatically operable to turn its associated valve on and off. An equal plurality of air actuators are secured to an elongate panel hingedly secured to the dispenser front surface. Each air actuator includes a pressurized chamber and a pliable front surface. Flexible tubes extend between the air switches and the air actuators for communicating pneumatic pressure there between. The air actuators include a graphics layer secured to the front surfaces thereof. In operation, a front surface an air actuator is depressed manually whereby pneumatic pressure created thereby in the pressurized chamber is communicated by the tube thereof to its particular air switch. The air switch then serves to operate a solenoid of the valve with which it is associated, resulting in dispensing of the beverage. Release of pressure on the actuator front surface breaks the electrical connection stopping dispensing.
