Description

  The present invention relates to a decorative cover used for vending machines, showcases, and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vending machine that is detachably mounted on the front, side, or top surface of a front door of a vending machine, showcase, etc. The present invention also relates to a vending machine decorative cover that can protect a showcase and the like and can increase the degree of freedom of decoration of a vending machine and a showcase.

  In general, vending machines and showcases (hereinafter referred to as “vending machines”) are transported using a hand-carrying tool called a “cat” for installation or collection. At this time, it is general that the vending machine or the like is placed on a transporter with the front side facing down and transported to an installation location or the like in this state.

  For this reason, it has been pointed out that vending machines and the like have a problem in that it is impossible to manufacture impactful vending machines with high decorativeness due to restrictions on the shape of the front side.

  That is, in order to make an impact vending machine or the like, it is desirable to provide a conspicuous decoration on the front side. For this purpose, for example, a product advertisement having unevenness on the front surface is formed, or the front surface is placed on the front side. For example, if the front surface is uneven, or if the front surface is curved toward the front, the portion where the unevenness is formed during transportation, Alternatively, since the curved portion is on the lower side, it is fully conceivable that the uneven surface and the curved surface are damaged by vibration during transportation.

  In addition, when installing and collecting vending machines, cranes and lifts may be used. For example, when a crane is used, a rope is attached to the vending machine and the tip of the crane is hooked on this rope. In this case, the crane moves and installs the vending machine while suspending the vending machine. At this time, if the front surface is uneven, or the front surface is curved toward the front, the uneven portion, etc. If a rope is caught on the surface, the uneven surface may be broken. Furthermore, the worker may touch the vending machine to stop the swinging of the vending machine while it is suspended by the crane, but again, the vending machine generally has a weight of 400 kg or more. If the front surface is curved, or if the front surface is curved toward the front side and the operator touches the uneven surface, the uneven surface may break. Conceivable.

  For this reason, in conventional vending machines, etc., the front surface is made as flat as possible for the purpose of minimizing damage during transportation. The degree of production was limited, and there was a limit to the production of impact vending machines.

  In vending machines, etc., product advertisements are generally displayed on the front door. Conventionally, product advertisements are displayed on the front door by painting, etc. When changing to another advertisement, at least the entire front door had to be repainted, which was troublesome and costly.

  Furthermore, conventionally, when a vending machine that has already been installed is renewed, the vending machine to be renewed is lifted from the place where it is installed to the maintenance shop, and the renewal work is completed at the factory. The process of carrying the renewed vending machine to a new installation location and re-installing it was necessary, which was laborious and costly.

  On the other hand, even when such a renewal work is performed, the latest vending machine style will not be changed by renewal, it will only be cleaned in the style at the time it was manufactured, and the appearance will be something fresh There was a problem that it was not a vending machine.

  Therefore, in the past, the present inventor can increase the degree of freedom of decoration on the front surface of a vending machine or the like to make an impact vending machine and facilitate renewal or the like. The company proposed a front cover for use in vending machines.
