[0007]

However, in the above-described conventional product direct-loading type vending machine, since the fall prevention member 17 must be attached with the screw 18 between the partition side walls 6, the attachment of the fall prevention member 17 is required. There was a problem that it took time and effort to work.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a direct-loading type vending machine in which a fall prevention member can be attached without trouble and time.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first means of the present invention is to form a plurality of recesses in the front part of both partition side walls in the height direction, and to form one of these recesses in one of these recesses. A fall prevention member is provided astride the front portions of the partition walls in a posture in which the engagement protrusions are engaged, and prevents a directly stacked product from falling to the front opening side.

The second means of the present invention is such that a plurality of convex portions are formed at the front portions of both partitioning side walls in the height direction, and the engaging concave portion is engaged with one of these convex portions. And a fall prevention member that is attached across the front portions of both partitioning side walls and prevents the directly stacked products from falling to the front opening side.

[0011]

According to the first or second means, a plurality of concave portions or convex portions formed on the front portions of both partitioning side walls are engaged with the engaging convex portions or concave portions of the overturn preventing member, whereby the overturning member is overturned. The prevention member can be attached to the entire partition side wall without trouble.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, since it differs from the conventional vending machine only in the structure for preventing the product from falling over, the same function is denoted by the same reference numeral, and the description of the payout device is omitted.

In FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, reference numeral 31 denotes a fall prevention member made of an elastic plate material, and a U-shaped portion 31a having a U-shape in plan view sandwiching the front ends of the two partitioning side walls 6. Plate surface 3 extending to both sides from both ends of this U-shaped portion 31a
1b. On both sides of the U-shaped portion 31a, engagement projections 31 projecting inward toward the front end sides of both partitioning side walls 6 are provided.
c are formed, and correspondingly, the front end portions of both partitioning side walls 6 are each provided with a hole 6a as an example of a concave portion.
Are formed. Further, a name tag holder 32 is attached to each of the plate surfaces 31b of the fall prevention member 31, and a product name tag representing a product name in the product storage path 7 can be inserted into the name tag holder 32.

With the above configuration, when the fall prevention member 31 is attached to the partitioning side wall 6, the U-shaped portion 31 a of the fall prevention member 31 is opened slightly while the fall prevention member 31 is opened.
Can be easily attached simply by engaging the engaging projections 31c with the holes 6a of both partitioning side walls 6, and the fall prevention member 31 prevents the commodity X from falling when supplying the commodity. Since the engaging projections 31c of the overturn prevention member 31 are engaged with the holes 6a of both partitioning side walls 6, the product X in the product storage path 7 comes into contact with the plate surface 31b of the overturn prevention member 31. Also, the fall prevention member 31 does not come off from the partition side wall 6, and the fall of the product X can be reliably prevented. In addition, when the product X is directly stacked, only the bottom portion can be seen, and it is difficult to determine the type of the product. However, by inserting the product name tag into the name tag holder 32 attached to the fall prevention member 31, the product storage can be performed. The type of the product X in the route 7 can be easily determined.

In the above embodiment, both partitioning side walls 6 are used.
Although the hole 6a is formed at the front end of the above, a concave portion may be formed by a concave portion. In addition, the engagement protrusion 3 of the fall prevention member 31
The shape of 1c may be hook-shaped, inserted into the hole 6a from above, and hooked. Further, contrary to the above-described embodiment, a projection protruding outward is formed at the front end of each of the partitioning side walls 6, and the fall prevention member 3 is correspondingly formed.
1 may be provided with an engagement concave portion so as to engage with each other.

A plurality of recesses or protrusions may be provided at the front end of the partition side wall 6 in the vertical direction so that the locking position of the overturn prevention member 31 can be adjusted up and down. Also,
When replenishing the commodity X that hardly falls, the fall prevention member 31 may be removed, and in this case, the replenishment of the commodity X is efficiently performed because the fall prevention member 31 does not hinder the supply. I can do it. In addition, at times other than the time of product supply, the closed door body 15 prevents the directly stacked products X from falling over.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, the roll-over prevention member for preventing the directly stacked products from falling to the front opening side is engaged with the concave portion or the convex portion respectively formed at the front portions of both partitioning side walls. Since the engaging projections or the engaging recesses are provided so as to be engaged with each other and attached, the tipping prevention member can be easily attached to the front part of the partition side wall, and the working efficiency is improved and the manufacturing efficiency is improved. Costs can be reduced,
In addition, since the engaging protrusion or the engaging recess of the fall prevention member is configured to engage with the recess or the protrusion of the partition side wall, even if the directly stacked product abuts on the fall prevention member, the fall prevention member is moved from the partition side wall. It does not come off and can surely prevent the product from falling. Furthermore, in this type of product direct-loading type vending machine, the center of gravity of the stacked product group when it falls over depends on the shape and weight of each product, the state of contact between the products, etc. However, a plurality of recesses or protrusions are formed at the front portions of both partitioning side walls in the height direction, and one of these recesses or protrusions is selected to provide a fall prevention member. In order to engage, the mounting height of the fall prevention member can be freely adjusted, and even in a commodity direct stacking type vending machine having this kind of unique action, the fall prevention member can be arranged at a position corresponding to the stacked state. Therefore, even when the door is opened, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent falling. In addition, it is possible to arrange a plurality of overturn prevention members in the height direction, so that it is possible to satisfactorily cope with a group of products that easily overturn.
