Vertical interactive amusement system for mechanical dispensing machines

Abstract

A vertical and interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines of the type that dispenses spherical or oval gift products. The system includes a vertical game panel that is configured for entertainment using the product, and that has at least one outlet that guides said product towards a delivery receptacle where it is delivered when the entertainment is successfully completed (game won). The system also includes positioning means designed to guide the product to a lower collection area when the game is not won, and mechanical means for manual activation configured to lift the product from the lower collection area towards the upper part of the vertical game panel, allowing the game to be restarted repeatedly until the game is successfully completed.

1 . A vertical and interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines of the type that dispenses spherical or oval packaged products prior to insertion of the appropriate coin(s), said system comprises:
 a vertical panel and at least one control wheel designed to transmit rotary movement to a group of pulleys over the vertical, rotating panel and means of positioning which are designed to start a game repeatedly until the game is won, upon which the product is dispensed, to repeatedly collect the product from the lower collection area and lift it to the upper part of the vertical game panel, allowing the game to be started or restarted repeatedly until the game is won;   the positioning means have a collection platform designed to direct the product to the lower collection area when the game is won, including a first inclined straight section connected with a second concave section where the two sections are arranged across the width of the rotary panel at the bottom thereof and independent of it, defining the point of attachment of both sections in the lower collection area.   
     
     
         2 . The vertical, interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines according to  claim 1  wherein the means for positioning are configured to receive the product at the beginning of the game by means of a game start port communicating with a device and directing the product to the lower collection area. 
     
     
         3 . The vertical, interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines according to  claim 1 , wherein the vertical game panel is configured for entertainment using the product, and having at least one outlet that guides said product towards a delivery receptacle where it is delivered when the entertainment is successfully completed (game won). 
     
     
         4 . The vertical, interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines according to  claim 1 , wherein the rotating panel includes several lanes to different levels of height through which the product moves via interaction with the control wheel, allowing the product to reach the opening of the outlet or fall to the collection platform, according to the skill with which the wheel is managed. 
     
     
         5 . The vertical, interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines comprising a static, vertical panel which has an inclined ramp which is placed across the width of the static panel designed to direct the product to the lower collection area, enabling starting and restarting of the game repeatedly by manually activating the rotor until the game is won by inserting the product in the outlet which guides the product to a delivery receptacle where it is, thus, finally dispensed. 
     
     
         6 . The vertical, interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines according to  claim 5 , further comprising a convex ramp in the upper part of the static panel that provides a parabolic trajectory for the product launched by the rotor. 
     
     
         7 . The vertical, interactive entertainment system for mechanical vending machines according to  claim 5  wherein the static panel includes at least one targeting element connected to the outlet. 
     
     
         8 . The mechanical vending machine characterized in that it includes a vertical and interactive entertainment system according to  claim 1 .
