Abstract
Description
[0001] Currently, only honey coin machines that are powered by electricity are available.
[0002] The problem with these machines is that they require a power connection (mains or battery operation).
[0003] Battery operation is problematic in winter, and a power supply via cable is not possible or cumbersome in all locations. For example, allotment gardens, rural areas
[0004] The Sewamat is a honey dispenser that dispenses honey mechanically via a rondel in exchange for a preset amount of coins. ( Fig. 6)
[0005] The Sewamat can be set up anywhere because it works without electricity.
[0006] It corresponds to the magazine dimensions and can be placed on an existing beehive. ( Fig. 7)
[0007] Hive lids can be used as roofs.
[0008] It holds 8 honey jars.
[0009] It only accepts 2 euro coins and can be set to 2, 4, or 6 euros. ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2)
[0010] The coin slot is designed to accept only 2-euro coins. Other euro coins fall into the output compartment. ( Fig. 1)
[0011] The machine only activates when the required number of coins has been inserted. ( Fig. 4)
[0012] In the Fig. 1 to 8 explains how the mechanical honey machine works. Fig. 1: Coin slot with dispensing compartment for coins that are too small. Fig. 2: Coin collector with adjustable release lever for setting the required number of coins. Fig. 3: Push button with push rod mechanism for checking the number of coins. Fig. 4: Release latch with a rondel release, which only releases the honey compartment when the push button is released. The gripper of the release latch (6) only slides over the nose of the rondel release (7) when the push button is released, which then releases the rondel (8) and locks it again after each compartment. Fig. 5: Overview of the entire coin release mechanism and arrangement of the stabilizing ball bearings. Fig. 6: Complete vending machine mechanism with coin release, honey rondel and winding spool. Fig. 7: Housing in magazine hive size to ensure that old hives and hive lids can be used as a base and roof. List of reference symbols

Claims
[1] The honey machine is characterized by that the coin slot (1) is designed by its shape and dimensions in such a way that only 2 euro coins are passed into the mechanism and smaller coins are ejected again. [2] The honey machine is characterized by that the coin collector (2) can be set to one, two or three 2-euro coins using an adjustable release lever (3). [3] The honey machine is characterized by that the push button (4) checks via a push rod mechanism (5) whether the selected amount of coins is in the coin collector and does not eject any honey if there are no coins. [4] The honey machine is characterized by that the release snap (6) and rondel release (7) are designed in such a way that it is avoided that the push button can be held and thus the rondel releases all the honey. [5] The honey machine is characterized bythat the honey rondel (8) has recesses (9) on the lowest plate, which actuate the release lever (3) to release the coins. [6] The honey machine is characterized by that the honey rondel rotates stably on three vertically mounted ball bearings (10). [7] The honey machine is characterized by that the honey rondel can be wound up using a conventional roller blind winder (11). [8] The honey machine is characterized by that it has the magazine size (12) of beehives.
