Automated sales system mounted on a personal vehicle

Abstract

A passenger car on which at least one vending machine is permanently installed, located at the rear or on the right side of the vehicle, making it possible to purchase goods from outside the vehicle, the vending machine being powered by its own battery power source.

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of private means of transport and in particular to a passenger car or a leased vehicle equipped with a permanently installed vending machine. This device makes it possible to use the vehicle as a mobile system with an automated sales function, while fully retaining its original transport function. 2. State of the art

[0002] Vending machines are currently predominantly installed in stationary locations at public or commercial sites. Specially designed sales vehicles (e.g., so-called "food trucks") also exist, but these are intended exclusively for commercial use and cannot be used as conventional private or leased vehicles. To date, no technical solution is known that allows an autonomously operated vending machine to be integrated into a standard private or leased vehicle without affecting its mobility, electrical systems, or original purpose. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to create a vehicle system that makes it possible to expand the functionality and utility of a private or leased vehicle by integrating a compact, energy-autonomous vending machine that operates independently of the vehicle's electrical system and does not require any structural changes to the vehicle. 4. Solution

[0004] To solve this problem, a passenger car or a leased vehicle is proposed, equipped with at least one permanently installed vending machine at the rear or on the right side of the vehicle. The vending machine is powered by its own battery and is designed so that goods can be purchased from outside the vehicle, particularly from the sidewalk side, when the vehicle is properly parked.

[0005] The vending machine can contain small consumer items such as drinks, snacks, or personal belongings. The device has a modular design, is easy to install and remove, and can be retrofitted to existing vehicles without altering the vehicle's body structure or safety systems. This allows the vehicle to be used temporarily as a mobile sales station while retaining all its original technical characteristics.

[0006] Furthermore, the modular integration of the system into leased vehicles makes it possible to increase the technical usability and flexibility of vehicle use without affecting the electrical infrastructure or the approval regulations. 5. Advantages of the invention 1. Extension of the technical function of a vehicle to include an automated sales unit. 2. Energy-autonomous operation via its own battery power source - no connection to the vehicle's electrical system is required. 3. Easy installation and maintenance, even on existing vehicles. 4. Maintaining the vehicle's full mobility and roadworthiness. 5. Modular design that allows for adaptation or replacement of the vending machine. 6. Applicable to private and leased vehicles without altering their main function.

Claims

[1] Passenger car on which at least one vending machine is permanently installed, located at the rear or on the right side of the vehicle and enabling the purchase of goods from outside the vehicle, the vending machine being powered by its own battery power source.
