Description

The present invention relates to an apparatus for preventing various devices such as vending machines standing on an installation floor from falling down due to strong external vibration such as an earthquake.

In general, the vending machine is erected on the installation floor via four support legs, front, rear, left, and right, which are attached to the bottom four corners of the vending machine main body. These supporting legs are composed of a level adjusting shaft portion screwed into the female screw portions at the bottom four corners of the vending machine main body, and a circular seat base portion connected to the hexagonal portion at the lower end of the shaft portion, The level of the vending machine is adjusted by appropriately rotating the shaft portion with a wrench fitted to the hexagonal portion.

Various improvements have been made to prevent the vending machine from falling forward, and one of them uses a fall prevention plate (see Patent Document 1).
The fall prevention plate includes a portion on which the seat base portion of the support leg is placed, a portion extended so as to protrude forward from the lower surface area of the vending machine main body, and the seat base portion placing portion. The holding portion extends upward and is fixed to the side surface of the vending machine main body by bolting.

However, in such a fall-preventing plate, not only the protruding extension part that protrudes largely on the road surface becomes an obstacle when the pedestrian passes, but also the side of the fixing target side surface when the holding part is bolted and fixed. It is necessary to secure a sufficient working space for this, so it can be applied when other vending machines are already installed on the side or when there are buildings or structures that cannot be removed. There wasn't.

Further, even when a sufficient working space can be secured, the fall prevention plate is applied only to the front support leg of the two front and rear support legs and around the rear support leg. There is no means to prevent falling, so if excessive external vibration is applied to the vending machine, the rear support legs will rise from the installation floor and the vending machine may fall There was sex.

Place the fall prevention plate on the rear side of the vending machine, secure the lower horizontal plate part of the fall prevention plate to the installation floor with anchor bolts, and place the upper horizontal plate part of the fall prevention plate in the side recess of the vending machine There has also been proposed a fall prevention device for a vending machine that is inserted into the vending machine and bolted and fixed to the side of the vending machine with an intermediate vertical plate portion of the fall prevention plate (Patent Document 2).

However, also in this overturn prevention device, it is necessary to secure a sufficient working space on the side of the side surface to be fixed when fixing the bolts of the lower horizontal plate portion and the intermediate vertical plate portion to the side. It could not be applied when other vending machines were already installed, or when there were buildings or structures that could not be removed.
