Product dispensing system |
(57) A pusher (2) is urged by a tensator spring (16) towards one end of a stack of packs
in order to dispense them. Movement of the pusher (2) in the opposite direction is
prevented. The pusher (2) is connected via a belt (15) to a drum (17) carrying magnets
(21) which actuate a reed switch (8) generating a signal representing the distance
through which the pusher (2) moves when one or more packs are dispensed, this distance
being proportional to the number of packs dispensed.
