US Patent:

56718675, Sep 30, 1997

Filed:

Sep 12, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/527220

Inventors:

Daniel Cardenas - Marietta GA

International Classification:

G07F 1158

US Classification:

221 72

Abstract:

An article packaging system for an automated article dispensing mechanism includes a plurality of clamshell-like containers attached together by side support rails. Each clamshell includes two semi-cylindrical halves pivotably mounted together and pivotable between open and closed positions. Resilient elongated bands bias the cylindrical halves in the direction of closure. When two adjacent pairs of rails are pivoted in one direction with respect to one another, the clamshells are maintained closed. Conversely, when two pairs of side support rails are pivoted in another direction with respect to one another, the cylindrical halves pivot with respect to one another to open a clamshell. The dispensing mechanism may be guided through the use of a sprocket or sprockets or, alternatively, side supports with guide slots receiving pins extending laterally from the side support rails may be employed.

Abstract:

A ball-type hitch half is mounted on a towing vehicle, and a socket is mounted on a pivotable arm attached to the towed vehicle. The socket includes a shoulder surrounding the socket including a plurality of radially spaced pins. The ball has a neck that extends downward. Surrounding the neck is a peripheral collar on which a plurality of arcuately extending electrical contacts are provided. The pins surrounding the socket on its peripheral shoulder are spring biased in the downward direction such that they are forced into engagement with the arcuate contacts on the collar which is spring biased upward. When the socket is installed and locked over the ball, the contact pins are spring biased into contact with the arcuate electrical contact areas such that for any rotative or pivoted position of the towed vehicle with respect to the towing vehicle, the pins maintain contact with the arcuate contacts.
