PRODUCT ACCOMMODATING DEVICE
An automatic vending machine is provided with a storage compartment or the like having a thermally insulating construction in which a number of product columns for accommodating products aligned side-by-side in one column are provided in different levels in such a way that the most downstream products in each product column are aligned side-by-side in a vertical direction, and an in-compartment fan for cooling an internal atmosphere of the storage compartment or the like by blowing air that has been cooled by means of an evaporator disposed in the storage compartment or the like, wherein the automatic vending machine is also provided with a control unit which drives the in-compartment fan for a predefined time if the internal temperature of the storage compartment or the like reaches to or above a predefined reference temperature in a state in which driving of a freezer and of the in-compartment fan are stopped.
Device for offloading capped vials useful in system and method for dispensing prescriptions
An offloading unit for an automated pharmaceutical machine that dispenses filled, capped pharmaceutical vials includes at least one offload location; at least one tote to receive the vials at each offload location, the tote assigned for distribution to a remote pharmacy location; at least one sensor to detect the presence or absence of the tote; and at least one sensor to detect a fill level of the vials in the tote.

SOLAR POWERED VENDING MACHINE
A vending device is portable and employs a solar powered system for use in cooling and dispensing water sold in cans. The device includes a rotomolded insulated housing with an internal stand for receipt of cartridges used in storing and dispensing of the canned water. Dispensing of a can is by use of a cashless payment system accepting phone app, credit/debit cards for interacting with a controller for operating of a linear actuator for releasing a can. Angled cartridges and a ramped bottom panel employ gravity for movement to minimize power consumption. A low profile allows the device to be easily camouflaged.
STORAGE RACK STRUCTURE AND STORAGE PANEL MODULE THEREOF
A storage rack structure and a storage panel module thereof are disclosed. The storage panel module includes an inclined carrying panel, a rolling unit and a plurality of storage boxes. The inclined carrying panel has an inclined top wall and a first lateral side and a second lateral side arranged at two sides of the inclined top wall, and a height of the inclined top wall is gradually reduced from the first lateral side to the second lateral side. The rolling unit is disposed on the inclined top wall and crossly arranged between the first lateral side and the second lateral side. The storage boxes are disposed on the inclined top wall and the rolling unit and adjacently arranged between the first lateral side and the second lateral side. Accordingly advantages of easily taking out medicines and efficiently managing expire dates of the medicines are provided.

TRANSPORT SHUTTLE FOR A GOODS STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
A shuttle for handling and transporting goods, including: a receiving base suitable for receiving a removable support for goods; a gripper suitable for cooperating with the removable support, the gripper being movable relative to the receiving base; and an extension system connected to the gripper, for moving the removable support on the receiving base. The extension system moves the gripper along a transverse axis while remaining parallel to itself, between retracted position, a first protruding position, and a second protruding position opposite the first protruding position with respect to the retracted position.
Product dispenser with an s-shaped down chute
A serpentine product dispenser has a substantially S-shaped down chute between a cartridge containing rolling products, an exit port, and a lower feed channel leading to a product selection area. Jam-free feeding of cans from the cartridge is accomplished by forming the down chute in three arcuate sections. An upper arcuate section causes a first can falling through the exit port to impact a second can still in the dispenser, delaying motion of the second can, such that a third can follows the first can. A central arcuate section causes the first can to maintain rolling contact with a second can still in the cartridge, further facilitating the movement of the third can toward and into the down chute. A lower arcuate section directs cans toward the dispenser lower feed ramp and product selection area after they traverse the down chute upper and central arcuate sections.
