Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stop and hold an icemaking tray at an origin position without locking a gear by constituting to hold a switch operated by a switch operating cam on a cam gear for rotating the tray in a section for maintaining an OFF signal when the tray is disposed at the origin position becoming horizontal. SOLUTION: In a driver for rotating a cam gear for rotating an icemaking tray by a drive gear engaged with the cam gear to rotate the tray and releasing an ice at an ice releasing position, a switch operating cam 121a is formed on a lower surface of the cam gear, and a switch 119 is closed by the cam 121a through a switch lever 120. A protrusion for changing an output signal of the switch 119 from an ON signal to an OFF signal, maintaining the Off signal and again changing to the ON signal is formed at the cam 121a. When the tray is disposed at an origin position becoming horizontal, the switch 119 is operated and held in a section for maintaining the OFF signal of the protrusion by the protrusion.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control opening and closing of two flaps without provision of position detection means in a damper device for opening and closing the two flaps. SOLUTION: The apparatus is adapted such that it drives a second flap through a second driven gear 113 and a first drive gear 110 for driving a first flap through a first driven gear 11. Herein, the two flaps are opened and closed by controlling on the basis of a rotation direction and a rotation time of a motor the second driven gear 111 that does not engage with the second driven gear 113 when the first driven gear 112 is rotated, and that can engage with the second driven gear 113 after the first driven gear 112 is rotated a predetermined angle.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a state of uncertainty that an ice detection signal is generated or not generated according to the excess or deficiency of ice in a process of returning an ice making tray after release of the ice, without controlling an ice detecting lever, and further to simplify a structure. SOLUTION: Construction is so made that a switch 119 is made to output an Hi signal continuously by a first switch operating means during the time when an ice making tray is at -20 deg. to +30 deg. to the position of the origin as a reference at the time when ice in a prescribed quantity or more is present in an ice storage box and that the switch 119 is made to output the Hi signal continuously by first and second switch operating means during the time when the ice making tray is at -20 deg. to +84 deg. at the time when the ice in the prescribed quantity or more is not present in the ice storage box. By this construction, a switch signal is inverted by the same number of times invariably irrespective of excess or deficiency of the ice in a process wherein the ice making tray returns, without controlling an ice detecting lever. By using as a reference the position where the signal is inverted, therefore, the position of the origin can be detected without fail.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize the improvement of article storage efficiency and the improvement of workability in an article ejection device of an automatic motor- driven vending machine. SOLUTION: This device is provided with the geared motor which is composed of a cylinder 19 rotating with an output shaft 18 transmitting rotational force to the outside and performing the reciprocating movement in an axial direction by making the output shaft 18 as a guide bar and first switch means 25 to 27 operating by the horizontal plate 19c springing out in the perpendicular direction the center axis from the outer periphery of the cylinder 19. Further, when a second switch means 33 is arranged in the interior of the geared motor, operation members 31 (31a, 31b) operating a second switch means 33 are projected to the side of an article storage shelf, articles are stored in the article storage shelf and the articles are arranged, the operation member 31 are moved into the geared motor 10 and the second switch means 33 is made to be operated. Thus, the place, labor and time for installing the switch means at the outside of the geared motor is unnecessitated.
