When the cup mechanism 30 is disposed at the replenishing position, the upper side of the cup storage 31 is opened, and thus the cup can be replenished to the cup storage 31.
As shown in fig. 3, the sales counter 40 is provided behind the ejection port 12c and in a region below the lower end opening 32a of the cup chute 32 of the cup mechanism 30 disposed in the storage position.
Fig. 6 and 7 show the sales counter shown in fig. 3, respectively, fig. 6 being a perspective view and fig. 7 being a plan view. The sales counter 40 has a bottom surface portion 41 and a support wall portion 42.
The bottom surface 41 is used for placing a cup and is gradually inclined downward toward the rear, that is, away from the ejection port 12 c.
The support wall portion 42 is provided upright (standing) on the bottom surface portion 41 so as to extend in the vertical direction of the upper surface of the bottom surface portion 41, supports a cup placed on the bottom surface portion 41, and has a rear wall portion 421, a left wall portion 422, and a right wall portion 423.
The rear wall 421 is a portion that is provided upright at the rear portion of the bottom surface 41, and is configured by integrally forming a center portion 421a whose front surface is curved, a left end portion 421b that is continuous with the left end portion of the center portion 421a and that gradually slopes straight forward as the front surface goes to the left, and a right end portion 421c that is continuous with the right end portion of the center portion 421a and that gradually slopes straight forward as the front surface goes to the right.
The left wall portion 422 is provided upright on the left side portion of the bottom surface portion 41, and is connected to the left end portion 421b of the rear wall portion 421. The right surface of the left wall portion 422 is continuous with the front surface of the left end portion 421b of the rear wall portion 421.
The right wall portion 423 is provided upright on the right side portion of the bottom portion 41, and is connected to the right end portion 421c of the rear wall portion 421. The right wall 423 is connected to the front surface of the right end 421c of the rear wall 421.
A guide cover 50 is provided above such a sales counter 40. The guide cover 50 is provided to cover an upper area of the sales counter 40, and a circular cup passage opening 51 is formed in an upper surface thereof. Guide rods 52 shaped like コ when viewed from above are provided on the front side and the right and left sides of the cup passage opening 51 on the upper surface so as to protrude upward. When the cup mechanism section 30 is disposed at the storage position, the guide rod 52 abuts against the lower end portion of the cup slide 32, and the lower end opening 32a of the cup slide 32 is disposed above the cup passage opening 51.
A supplemental opening 14 is formed in an upper side wall portion of the apparatus main body 10. The refill opening 14 is an opening opened or closed by the refill door 15, and is formed in a region capable of facing the cup storage portion 31 of the cup mechanism portion 30 disposed at the storage position.
In the cup vending apparatus having the above configuration, when a predetermined coin (money) is inserted through the coin insertion opening 11a and the operation button 12a is pressed in a state where the front opening 10a and the rear opening 10b of the apparatus main body 10 are closed, the cup discharged from the cup storage 31 is sent out to the vending table 40 through the cup chute 32. Thus, by opening the outlet 12c by swinging the outlet door 12d, the cup delivered to the sales counter 40 can be taken out through the outlet 12c, and the cup can be sold.
According to the cup selling apparatus, the bottom surface portion 41 of the selling base 40 is inclined downward as going rearward, and the support wall portion 42 provided upright on the bottom surface portion 41 supports the cup C (see fig. 6) placed on the bottom surface portion 41 in an upright posture such that the front surface of the left end portion 421b of the rear wall portion 421 and the front surface of the right end portion 421C of the rear wall portion 421 contact the side surface of the cup C, so that the cup C is maintained in an upright posture in which the upper surface opening C1 is inclined rearward. This allows the user to easily take out the cup C by gripping the side surface C2 of the cup C with fingers inserted from the outlet 12C. Therefore, the cup C delivered to the sales counter 40 can be taken out well.
Further, since the front surface of the left end 421b and the front surface of the right end 421C of the rear wall 421 of the support wall 42 contact the side surfaces of the cup C, the cups can be supported satisfactorily on the inclined surfaces inclined linearly.
According to the cup selling apparatus described above, since the space S is formed on the left side of the coin processing device 20 when the cup mechanism section 30 is disposed at the storage position, the manager or the like can open the coin storage section of the coin processing device 20 in a state where the rear opening 10b of the device main body 10 is opened, and can easily perform the operation of taking out the coins stored in the coin storage section.
According to the above cup dispensing apparatus, since the guide rod 52 of the guide cover 50 is in contact with the lower end portion of the cup slide 32 when the cup mechanism portion 30 is disposed at the storage position, and the lower end opening 32a of the cup slide 32 is disposed above the cup passage opening 51, the positioning of the cup slide 32 with respect to the dispensing table 40 can be easily performed, and the cup discharged from the cup mechanism portion 30 can be reliably delivered to the dispensing table 40.
According to the above cup selling apparatus, since the refill opening 14 is formed in a region which can be opposed to the cup housing portion 31 of the cup mechanism portion 30 disposed at the housing position of the upper side wall portion of the apparatus main body 10, the refill door 15 can be swung to open the refill opening 14, and thus, the cup can be easily refilled through the refill opening 14.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made.
In the above embodiment, the outlet 12c is provided in the front door 12, but in the present invention, the outlet is not necessarily provided in the front door as long as it is provided in the customer receiving surface of the cup sales apparatus. Therefore, the sales counter may not be provided behind the outlet.
