Description

  The present invention relates to a vending machine for soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, sweets and the like, and more particularly to a trash can holder for a vending machine.

  Vending machines can be purchased regardless of time because most items can be purchased regardless of time, so there are many users. In recent years, it has been installed everywhere regardless of whether inside or outside the metropolitan area, and the number of installations is said to be over 5 million in Japan alone.

In this way, vending machines are very popular because of their convenience, but on the other hand, there are voices questioning the existence of vending machines themselves. The reason is often as shown in the following (1) and (2).
(1) The installation place of the vending machine is not necessarily a stable place on a flat surface, and therefore there may be no trash box installed. In such a case, when the object of sale is drinking water, empty cans and empty plastic bottles are placed around or thrown away, and there are very many complaints from the neighborhood.
(2) The trash can easily falls down due to strong winds, earthquakes, etc., and the trash inside is scattered in the vicinity, and the trash can be scattered not only in the vicinity of the vending machine but also in a considerably distant place.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, companies have proposed a vending machine having a trash box (for example, Patent Document 1). However, in this embodiment, the structure of the vending machine becomes large and high. Due to the cost, the number of installations and installation locations were limited.

  In addition, it was difficult to attach a new trash can to an existing vending machine so as not to accidentally fall down, and even if it could, it would have to look bad.

Therefore, in the industry that handles vending machines, the installation of trash cans is not large and expensive, and can be installed without falling down under any road surface condition. We are looking forward to the development of a structure for attaching trash cans to vending machines that can be installed relatively easily.
