A through hole (not shown) having the same diameter as the body portion of the stepped screw 55 is formed in the other piece of the fixed metal 54 that is bent. The stepped screw 55 is passed through the long hole 56 and the through hole and tightened by the tightening member 57, whereby the support portion 52 a is supported by the fixed metal 54 via the stepped screw 55. And the support part 52a is supported by the shape of the long hole 56 so that a slide movement is possible in the front-back direction. Thus, the metal member 52 is arranged so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, and is arranged so as to be movable forward and backward toward the magnet 51 (inner door 30).

  Here, the relationship between the forward / backward movement of the metal member 52 and the engaging means 40 will be described in detail. In the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the locking piece 41 and the engaging portion 42 are engaged, and the inner door 30 is in the engaged state with the outer door 20. In this state, the metal member 52 is located at a position where the metal member 52 is retracted forward (hereinafter also referred to as a retracted movement position), and the adhesion surface 52 c of the adhesion portion 52 b is adhered to the magnet 51 by the magnetic force of the magnet 51. ing. Although not shown in the drawing, when the metal member 52 is in a position where the metal member 52 has moved forward (hereinafter also referred to as an advanced movement position), the bonding surface 52 c of the bonding portion 52 b is caused by the magnetic force of the magnet 51. The engaging piece 41 and the engaging portion 42 are not engaged. That is, the magnetizing means 50 adheres the magnet 51 and the bonding surface 52c of the metal member 52 by magnetic force regardless of whether or not the inner door 30 and the outer door 20 are engaged by the engaging means 40. Thus, the inner door 30 is engaged with the outer door 20.

  In the magnetic attachment means 50 described above, the magnet 51 is disposed on the inner door 30 and the metal member 52 is disposed on the outer door 20, but this is not restrictive. For example, as the magnetizing means 50, a metal member 52 may be provided on the inner door 30 and a magnet 51 may be provided on the outer door 20. Further, although the magnet 51 is used as a component of the magnetizing means 50, an electromagnet or the like may be used in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the restricting means 70 includes an elastic sheet material 71 and a holding member 72. The elastic sheet material 71 is, for example, a resin material formed in a sheet shape and has a predetermined elasticity. The elastic sheet material 71 has a base end fixed to the rear surface of the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30, and a distal end that extends obliquely rearward from the free end portion 32 and bends to the side. It is provided in the existing posture. Further, one or more elastic sheet members 71 are provided in the direction (vertical direction) along the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30. When the inner door 30 swings toward the main body cabinet 1, the locking means is provided. It is provided at a position corresponding to the receiving member 46 so as to abut on the receiving member 46 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). The elastic sheet material 71 may be provided continuously in the longitudinal direction in the direction (vertical direction) along the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30.

  The holding member 72 has a plate-like shape, and a base end thereof is supported on the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30 by a support shaft 72a extending in the vertical direction. It extends to the direction. The holding member 72 has an inclined position where the tip is inclined obliquely rearward as shown by a solid line in FIG. 2, and the plate surface of the holding member 72 is an inner door with the tip turned sideward as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 30 oscillates between a rear surface 32B and a substantially flush surface. And the holding member 72 is urged | biased in the aspect which becomes an inclination position by the spring 72b. The holding member 72 is continuously provided in the longitudinal direction in the direction (vertical direction) along the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30. The holding member 72 is provided on the front side of the elastic sheet material 71, and when the inner door 30 opens the front opening 1a of the main body cabinet 1, the holding member 72 is tilted by the biasing force of the spring 72b. It contacts the elastic sheet material 71. That is, the holding member 72 is in contact with the receiving member 46 of the locking means 45, that is, the posture of the elastic sheet material 71 as described above, the posture of the elastic sheet material 71 being bent obliquely and extending sideways. It will be held in a posture.

  The holding member 72 does not contact the receiving member 46 of the locking means 45 when the inner door 30 swings toward the main body cabinet 1 side. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the holding member 72 swings the door body 10 (the outer door 20 and the inner door 30 are in an engaged state) to the main body cabinet 1 side, and the inner door 30 is moved to the main body cabinet 1. In a state where the front opening 1a is closed, it comes into contact with a gasket 1b provided around the front opening 1a and is flush with the other. The holding member 72 in contact with the gasket 1b presses the gasket 1b because the biasing force to the tilted position is applied by the spring 72b. Thereby, the outflow of the cool air or the warm air inside the main body cabinet 1 is reliably prevented. As described above, the holding member 72 also has an action of preventing cool air or warm air from flowing out inside the main body cabinet 1.

  In the vending machine having the above configuration, the door body 10 (the outer door 20 and the inner door 30) is opened with respect to the main body cabinet 1 as shown in FIG. And the rear side of the outer door 20 is opened. At this time, maintenance is performed from the rear side of the outer door 20. Then, after the maintenance work is performed, the inner door 30 is closed with respect to the outer door 20 by engaging the locking piece 41 with the engaging portion 42 (the engaged state). )become. At this time, the metal member 52 is in the retracted movement position, and the bonding surface 52c of the bonding portion 52b is bonded to the magnet 51 by the magnetic force of the magnet 51 (see FIG. 2). And when an operator closes the outer door 20, the door body 10 will be in a closed state with respect to the main body cabinet 1, as shown in FIG.

  By the way, after completion of the maintenance, as shown in FIG. 4, when the operator closes the outer door 20 without closing the inner door 30, that is, the inner door 30 is engaged with the outer door 20. If the outer door 20 is closed without leaving the free state, the vending machine is as follows.

  When the outer door 20 and the inner door 30 open the front opening 1a of the main body cabinet 1 and the inner door 30 opens the rear surface side of the outer door 20, the outer door 20 approaches the inner door 30 and the inner door 30 When abutting on the door 30, the bonding surface 52 c of the metal member 52 (bonding portion 52 b) is bonded to the magnet 51 by magnetic force even if the locking piece 41 and the engaging portion 42 are not engaged. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner door 30 is engaged with the outer door 20. For this reason, before the operator closes the outer door 20 and the door body 10 is in a closed state with respect to the main body cabinet 1, the outer door 20 comes into contact with the inner door 30 to cause the inner door 30 to be magnetized. Since it can be engaged with the outer door 20, the abutment does not cause the inner door 30 to swing toward the main body cabinet 1 regardless of the outer door 20. Accordingly, the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30 does not enter the inner edge portion 1aa of the front opening 1a in the main body cabinet 1.

  Further, even when the outer door 20 is closed while the inner door 30 is left in a free state, or when the door 10 is in a closed state with respect to the main body cabinet 1, the outer door 20 contacts the inner door 30. At that time, the inner door 30 can be engaged with the outer door 20 by magnetic force, so that the free end 32 of the inner door 30 does not enter the inner edge 1aa of the front opening 1a in the main body cabinet 1.

  On the other hand, when the outer door 20 does not contact the inner door 30 and the inner door 30 cannot be engaged with the outer door 20 by magnetic force, the vending machine is as follows.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30 tries to enter the inside of the receiving member 46 of the locking means 45 in the front opening 1a in the main body cabinet 1, that is, the inner edge 1aa of the front opening 1a. Sometimes, the elastic sheet material 71 of the restricting means 70 comes into contact with the tip of the receiving member 46 and is interposed between the free end 32 of the inner door 30 and the receiving member 46. Thereby, the inner door 30 is restricted from further swinging in the door closing direction. As a result, entry of the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30 into the inner edge portion 1aa of the front opening 1a is prevented. At this time, as described above, the holding member 72 holds the elastic sheet material 71 in a posture in which the tip end is bent obliquely and extends laterally, that is, in a posture in contact with the receiving member 46. Therefore, the regulating action by the elastic sheet material 71 is assisted.

  When the inner door 30 is in a fully closed state (engaged state) with respect to the outer door 20 or when the inner door 30 is engaged with the outer door 20 by the magnetizing means 50, the door body 10 is used. When the door is closed with respect to the main body cabinet 1, the vending machine is as follows.

  In this case, the elastic sheet material 71 of the regulating means 70 is bent and deformed against its own elastic force as shown in FIG. 1 and is accommodated on the inner edge 1aa side of the front opening 1a in the main body cabinet 1. That is, the elastic sheet material 71 does not hinder the closing of the door body 10 when the door body 10 (the outer door 20 and the inner door 30) is closed.

  Therefore, in the vending machine in the above-described embodiment, when the outer door 20 and the inner door 30 open the front opening 1a of the main body cabinet 1 and the inner door 30 opens the rear surface side of the outer door 20, When the door 20 does not come into contact with the inner door 30 and the inner door 30 cannot be engaged with the outer door 20 by a magnetic force, the elastic sheet material 71 of the restricting means 70 is formed on the receiving member 46 of the locking means 45. It abuts on the tip and is interposed between the free end 32 of the inner door 30 and the receiving member 46. Thereby, the inner door 30 is restricted from further swinging in the door closing direction. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30 from entering the inner edge portion 1aa of the front opening 1a. As a result, when the inner door 30 opens the rear side of the outer door 20, the outer door 20 is closed and the outer door 20 is opened before the door 10 is closed with respect to the main body cabinet 1. Even in this case, the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30 is not caught by the inner edge portion 1aa of the front opening 1a in the main body cabinet 1.

  Further, since the holding member 72 holds the posture of the elastic sheet material 71, it is possible to assist the regulating action by the elastic sheet material 71.

  In the embodiment described above, the restricting means 70 may use a holding member 72 ′ shown in FIG. 8 in addition to the holding member 72. The holding member 72 ′ is made of a hard sheet material having a higher elastic force than the elastic sheet material 71, and is attached to the rear surface 32 B of the inner door 30, and the tip thereof extends laterally from the free end portion 32 of the inner door 30. It is provided in the existing cantilever shape. The holding member 72 'is integrally provided with an elastic sheet material 71 at the tip. Further, the holding member 72 ′ may be provided only in a portion where the elastic sheet material 71 is provided. Even in the holding member 72 ′ configured for this purpose, the posture of the elastic sheet material 71 is bent as the tip extends obliquely rearward as described above, that is, the posture that extends sideward, that is, the locking means 45. It will hold | maintain in the attitude | position which contacts the receiving member 46 of this. Further, as described above, the elastic sheet material 71 itself maintains a posture in which the tip end is bent obliquely and extends sideward, that is, a posture in contact with the receiving member 46 of the locking means 45. If possible, the holding means 72, 72 'need not be used.

  Further, the restricting means 70 may be provided in such a manner that the elastic sheet material 71 abuts against the edge of the front opening 1 a in the main body cabinet 1 in addition to abutting the elastic sheet material 71 against the receiving member 46 of the locking means 45. That is, the elastic sheet material 71 may be in contact with the edge side of the front opening 1 a including the receiving member 46.

  Further, in addition to being provided at the free end 32 of the inner door 30, the restricting means 70 is on the main body cabinet 1 side, extends forward from the receiving member 46, and contacts the free end 32 of the inner door 30. The structure which provides said control means 70 in the aspect may be sufficient.

  As described above, the vending machine according to the present invention is useful for the configuration including the first door body and the second door body for opening and closing the front opening of the vending machine body. It is suitable for preventing a situation where the free end portion of the second door body enters the inner edge portion of the front opening in the vending machine body when the door body and the second door body are not engaged. .
