Manually rotatable machine for order processing

Abstract

Manually rotatable machine, comprising a fixed base ( 1 ) and a rotor ( 2 ) assembled on it and characterised by a plurality of arms ( 3 ) arranged to form rays. Present on each of said arms is at least one numbered hook ( 9 ), for fixing the orders as they are taken, as well as for requesting and serving the same following the same sequence they were gathered in. The operation of the mechanism in question is characterised in that the rotor can rotate on the fixed base following one direction of rotation, due to the arrangement, on said base, of a unidirectional automatic blocking system made up of spring bars ( 10 ) tilted towards the direction of rotation.

1 . Manually rotatable machine, for managing the correct chronology of orders, comprising:
 a fixed base ( 1 );   a rotor ( 2 ) for gathering the orders, said rotor being assembled on the fixed base using elements which allow the rotation of the same, said rotor comprises a plurality of arms ( 3 ), each arm includes at least one numbered hook ( 9 ) for holding the orders;   a device which allows the unidirectional rotation of the rotor, mounted on the fixed base, comprising spring bars ( 10 ) tilted towards the preset direction of rotation, said spring bars interfere with said rotor, preventing said rotor from rotating towards the opposite direction.   
   
   
       2 . Method of using the machine as described by  claim 1 , comprising the following steps:
 a. Attaching the orders one after the other on the numbered hooks of the first available arm following the numerical order indicated;   b. Rotating the rotor manually towards the only direction allowed, in such a manner that additional orders can be attached on the subsequent numbered hooks of the next available arm;   c. Fulfilling the orders following the same chronological/numerical sequence of taking.
