<Configuration of article storage device>
2 is a plan view of the article storage device 1, and FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view showing the interior of the article storage device 1 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when viewed from above, the article storage device 1 forms a rectangular storage space SP in which a case body 10, which is a main body, is slightly elongated in the front-rear direction. That is, the case main body 10 is covered with outer wall portions 10w on the front and rear sides, the left and right sides, and the bottom side, and is open on the upper side. An article placement portion 10b, which is a bottom portion for accommodating an article P, is provided at a position slightly spaced from an outer wall portion 10w (see FIG. 4) on the bottom side of the case body 10 to form an accommodation space SP. there is Articles P are stored in a stacked state in this storage space SP.

The material of the case body 10 is not particularly limited, but for example, it is made of plastic. For example, an information providing area 60 (see FIG. 1) made of a light-transmitting member is provided on the upper side of the housing so that the articles P stored therein can be viewed. The article P here means a relatively thin flat plate or sheet such as a sheet-like printed matter, a card, a thin case, etc., which can be sent out by the rotational force of a roller described later and can be stacked and stored. It targets what is possible.

Here, in the storage space SP, as shown in FIG. 3, a pair of left and right guides 11 are positioned toward the front of the space, and a rear guide 12 is positioned toward the rear of the space so as to rise from the article placement portion 10b. is provided. Further, on the front side of the left and right guides 11, a pressing portion 20 is provided that can press the articles P downward in a state in which the articles P are accommodated and stacked. The pressing portion 20 is a parallelepiped weight elongated in the left-right direction. The pressing portion 20 is held vertically movably by rails 30 (one side rail 30R, the other side rail 30L) which are holding portions erected on the front side of the left and right guides 11 . Although the details will be described later, the rail 30 is a pair of a right side rail 30R and a left side rail 30L. keep it possible.

The left and right guides 11 are provided so as to be movable in the horizontal direction on the article placement portion 10b, and the rear guides 12 are provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction on the article placement portion 10b. That is, by moving the left and right guides 11 and the rear guide 12, the articles P of different sizes can be accommodated.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a portion along the AA line of the article storage device 1 shown in FIG.
A front end guide portion 14 involved in delivering articles is provided along the discharge port 50 on the front side of the pressing portion 20 . As shown in FIG. 4, the front end guide portion 14 is disposed between the discharge port 50 and the article placement portion 10b, and is located immediately behind the shutter 15 which is swingably provided to open and close the discharge port 50. are placed in The front end guide portion 14 guides the articles P to be discharged one by one when the articles P are discharged, and is configured so that the height from the article placement portion 10b can be adjusted according to the articles P. there is

A discharge roller 16 is provided at a position facing the pressing portion 20 on the lower side of the article placing portion 10b. As shown in FIG. 4, the discharge roller 16 has a circular hole-shaped arcuate outer surface 16a and a non-arctic outer surface 16b having a smaller diameter than the arcuate outer surface 16b in a side view. Therefore, when the article P is rotated about the rotating shaft 16c, the arcuate outer surface 16a contacts the lower surface of the article P pressed downward by the pressing portion 20, and the article P can be sent forward. That is, the arcuate outer surface 16a abuts the lower surface of the article P when it rotates so as to follow the arcuate recess 20wc (see FIG. 9) formed in the lower surface of the pressing portion 20 so as to protrude slightly upward from the placement portion opening 10bh. can contact. The discharge roller 16 is connected to the operating portion 104 via a shaft member and a gear member (not shown), and is rotationally driven by the operating portion 104 that is operable by inserting a coin, as described above.

FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view showing a state where the article P is pressed by the pressing portion 20 (first state (1D)).
As shown in FIG. 5, a pair of rails 30 erected on both left and right sides of the front portion of the article placement portion 10b (arranged so as to extend in a direction perpendicular to the article placement portion 10b) pushes the pressing portion 20. It is held so as to be vertically slidable. The pair of rails 30 has grooves 31R of the right rail 30R and grooves 31L of the other rail 30L on the left side. It is Projections (third projections 23 and the like), which will be described later, protrude from the outer surfaces of the left and right ends of the pressing portion 20 and are engaged with the grooves 31 so as to be fitted therein. Therefore, the pressing portion 20 is held so as to be vertically slidable between the lower end portion 30d, which is one end portion of the rail 30, and the upper end portion 30u, which is the other end portion thereof. The holding of the pressing portion 20 by the groove portion 31 only restricts the position of the pressing portion 20 in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction, and allows the pressing portion 20 to slide freely in the vertical direction.

The pressing part 20 held so as to be able to move vertically is slidable toward the article placement part 10b by its own weight when the article storage device 1 is attached to the article supply device 100. The articles P stacked and placed on the article placement portion 10b are pressed downward by the weight of the pressing portion 20 (f). In this manner, the pressing portion 20 is set to the first state (1D) in the first direction in which the pressing portion 20 can move in the vertical direction, and to the second state (1D) different from the first state (1D) in the second direction described later. It can take the second state (2D) (see FIG. 9).

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the pressing portion 20 shown in FIG. 5 as viewed in the horizontal direction.
As shown in FIG. 6, the pressing portion 20 has a horizontally long rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the projections described above are the first projections on the right side shown in FIG.

It is composed of More specifically, the first projection 21 and the second projection 22, which are projections on one side (right side) in the longitudinal direction of the pressing portion 20, are arranged vertically. The first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 22 are engaged with the one side groove 31R (see FIG. 5). In addition, the third protrusion 23 and the fourth protrusion 24, which are the other protrusions on the other side (left side), are aligned vertically and engage with the other side groove 31L (see FIG. 5) in the same configuration.

Furthermore, the fifth protrusion 25 protrudes rightward from the rear wall 20wr of the pressing section 20 at a position different from the position where the first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 22 are provided. Similarly to the fifth protrusion 25, the sixth protrusion 26 is also provided with the rear wall 20wr and protrudes leftward. Therefore, the fifth protrusion 25 is configured to be able to come into face-to-face contact with the rear side portion 30Rr (see FIG. 5) that is the first side portion on which the groove portion 31 is not formed with respect to the rail 30. The portion 26 is configured to be able to come into face-to-face contact with the rear side portion 30Lr, which is the second side portion.

Further, the pressing portion 20 is provided with a gripping portion 28 that is gripped when the pressing portion 20 is operated by hand, near the center in the longitudinal direction. A projecting rib 29 is formed on the lower side of the grip portion 28 so as to project rearward, having left and right walls 29a and a lower surface wall 29b. The protruding rib 29 is provided at a position corresponding to the detecting portion 19 which is provided so as to protrude from the article placing portion 10b in order to detect the presence or absence of the article P. As shown in FIG. For example, the protruding rib 29 pushes the article P from directly above the detection unit 19 when the article P is present. As a result, even the last one of the relatively soft articles P can be reliably detected. In addition, the protruding rib 29 has an arc-shaped notch 29k formed in the lower surface wall 29b. 19 is surrounded to protect the detection part 19 .

The engagement state between the groove portion 31 and the projection portion in the first orientation (first state (1D)) of the pressing portion 20 will be described below.
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB shown in FIG. Since the engagement state between the groove 31 and the protrusion is the same on the left and right sides, the engagement state on the left side shown in FIG. 7 will be explained, and the explanation on the engagement state on the right side will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 7, the cross-sectional shape of the other side groove portion 31L provided in the other side rail 30L has a small width portion 31a with a minimum width W1 formed with a small groove width and a maximum width W2 formed with a large groove width. It has a widened structure with a wide portion 31b. On the other hand, the third projecting portion 23 is configured to have a width (d1) narrower than that of the narrow portion 31a. The fourth projecting portion 24 is composed of a small diameter portion 24a on the projecting base side and a large diameter portion 24b on the distal end side, and the diameter (minimum diameter) d2 of the small diameter portion 24a is smaller than the minimum width W1 of the small width portion 31a. , the diameter (maximum diameter) d3 of the large-diameter portion 24b is larger than the minimum width W1 and smaller than the maximum width W2 of the large-diameter portion 31b. By engaging with the rail 30 in this manner, the pressing portion 20 is held so as to be vertically movable.

FIG. 8 is a cross section taken along line CC in FIG. 7, and is a schematic view of the engagement state between the protrusions of the pressing portion 20 and the groove portion 31 as viewed from the center side of the pressing portion 20. As shown in FIG. In this case also, the engagement state of the right side (the first protrusion 21, the second protrusion 22, and the fifth protrusion 25) is the same as that of the left side, so the description thereof is omitted.

When the pressing portion 20 is in the first orientation (first state (1D)), the first protrusion 23 and the fourth protrusion 24 are positioned inside the groove 31L as shown in FIG. there is When the pressing portion 20 is pushed upward, the third projecting portion 23 comes out above the upper end surface 30t of the rail 30 and comes out of the groove portion 31, but the fourth projecting portion 24 comes out of the groove portion 31. never. Specifically, the large portion 31b of the groove portion 31 is provided with a groove upper end wall 31w so as not to open to the upper end surface 30t. That is, since the uppermost end portion of the groove portion 31 is the opening of the narrow portion 31a, the third projection portion 23 is separated from the groove portion 31, but the fourth projection portion 24 is not removed from the groove portion 31. As a result, the pressing portion 20 has a structure that cannot be removed from the rail 30 .

Here, the case of attaching the pressing portion 20 to the rail 30 will be described. Although the mounting of the pressing portion 20 is not particularly specified, for example, in the structure shown in FIG. A groove portion 31 which is open to a portion is formed. Then, the projections 23 and 24 are inserted and assembled from the upper end surface 30t side. After that, a fitting member forming the upper end wall 31w of the groove is fitted and fixed by welding, adhesion, screw fastening, or the like. This prevents the pressing portion 20 from being removed from the rail 30 . In this case, the rail 30 may be assembled with the mounting surface 30j at its upper end attached to the case main body 10 with a screw 80 or the like (see FIGS. 2 and 8).

As for the method of assembling the pressing portion 20, in the case of the groove portion 31 in which the portion corresponding to the groove upper end wall 31w is provided from the beginning (integrally molded), for example, the pressing portion 20 is attached to the rail 30. It is configured such that it can be mounted from the lower end portion 30d side. In this case, the pressing portion 20 and the rails 30 are pre-assembled as a unit, and by attaching this unit to the case body 10, the lower end side of the groove portion 31 is closed by the article placing portion 10b, and the pressing portion 20 is connected to the rails 30. cannot be removed from the
