Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9000784A1] An automatic distributor of drinks in individual bottle-type packages, in particular made of plastic and containing mineral water, comprises a rotary trough (8) which receives bottles (6), rotates on a support (4) and is supplied by ramps (15) arranged in zig-zag fashion. At each request for distribution of a bottle by a consumer client, a chain drive system (8) turns the trough through exactly one revolution, allowing the bottle to drop into a hatch (7) accessible to the client. When the trough returns to its standby position, a new bottle held in readiness by a stopping means (11) and by the bottom of the trough is loaded into the latter.
