Base with Inflating Mechanism for Dispensing Machine for Deflated Balls

Abstract

This invention refers to a base with inflated mechanism for vending machine of deflated balls integrated by an exterior pedal connected to two pneumatic pistons joined in its superior part to a manometer, of which a hose joins connected to a T form connection which in its inferior part includes a pulley wheel to which two springs attached join to the internal walls of the vending machine that allows the hose with valve that is located in the exterior of the machine to inject the air to the ball. The T connection, joins another hose that in its final part has one relief valve covered in the exterior of the machine by a lever that releases the flow of air injected to the ball.

1 . (canceled) 
   
   
       2 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the metal ears used for fixing or anchoring the springs can be substituted by hoops or eyebolts, and these can be located in any other internal point of the case. 
   
   
       3 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the hoses used can be substituted by any other type of hose or pipe. 
   
   
       4 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the elbow joint and the T used can be of any material, or in its case any or both may not be used depending on the type of connection of the pistons' pump. 
   
   
       5 . An apparatus as defined, in  claim 11  wherein the lever and its respective valve of relief used may be substituted by any other type of sensor, among which we could find the distance sensors, pressure sensors, proximity sensors and the volume sensors, among others; or they can be located in another angle or position of the base with inflated mechanism for vending machine. 
   
   
       6 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the number of pneumatic pistons used can be increased or decreased. 
   
   
       7 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the springs used can vary in their number and they can be substituted by any type of elastic bands or flexible tensors; or in its case eliminated totally within the mechanism and avoid in this manner that the inflated systems is retractable. 
   
   
       8 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the base with inflated mechanism instead of being located in the inferior part of the vending machine it may be located in any other position in regards to the vending machine. 
   
   
       9 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the pistons used to inflate the ball can be substituted by at least an electric or mechanic compressor, or at least any type of mechanic or electric bellows that provides air at pressure to inflate the ball. 
   
   
       10 . An apparatus as defined in  claim 11  wherein the pedal used can be substituted by at least one crank, or by at least one lever, or by at least any other activation moved in an electric or mechanic manner. 
   
   
       11 . A ball inflating apparatus comprising:
 a case;   a pedal accessible at a front exterior side of the case;   a pneumatic piston-cylinder assembly located inside the case and linked to the pedal to be actuated by the pedal;   an outlet hose extending from the piston-cylinder assembly;   a manometer on the outlet hose;   a T-connector on the outlet hose;   an elbow joint on the T-connector;   a ball inflating valve accessible at the front exterior side of the case;   an inflating hose extending from the elbow joint to the ball inflating valve;   a pulley wheel on the T-connector;   a pair of ears at an upper rear interior portion of the case;   a pair of springs connecting the pulley wheel to the cars;   a relief valve at the front exterior side of the case;   a relief hose extending from the I-connector to the relief valve; and   a lever covering the relief valve.
