Abstract
A dispenser for disc-shaped car-park tickets which makes it possible on a permanent basis for the car-park tickets provided for issuing to be made available reliably, as required, from a supply of car-park tickets, and which is of simple design. The dispenser separates car-park tickets coming from a supply container and moves them, in a pushed group, through a transporting duct which bridges a spatial distance between the supply container and the issuing apparatus. In addition to the spatial distance bridged, a vertical ascent is also surmounted, in order that the car-park tickets can be moved into the issuing apparatus and issued from the same under the action of gravity. Further configurations of the invention can be gathered from the claims and from the following description.

A dispenser for disc-shaped car-park tickets, in particular for installation in an entrance-control station of a multi-storey car park or of an open-air car park, comprising a supply container for car-park tickets, an issuing apparatus for car-park-ticket removal, and a conveying device running between the supply container and the issuing apparatus, the conveying device comprising a pushing device, with supply container positioned thereon, and a transporting duct, which guides the car-park tickets and an outlet of which adjoins the issuing apparatus, and at least one ascending section of the transporting ducts adjoins an outlet of the pushing device for receiving a group of car-park tickets which are located one above the other under the action of gravity, the pushing device receiving car-park tickets and exerting a pushing movement on the lowermost car-park ticket in the group, which lowermost car-park ticket is conveyed through the transporting duct by means of a car-park-ticket stream, the pushing device being activated depending on a fill level in said issuing device which is provided with a fill-level monitor being connected to a control device actuating the pushing device.
The dispenser as in 1, wherein the guide path is curved so as to follow the rotary movement of the perforated disc, and the guide path being formed by a partially circular path from which the outlet of the pushing device extends tangentially.
