BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an assembling structure of left and right partition plates and upper and lower partition plates of an article storage shelf for storing at least one article in a vending machine or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of article storage shelf generally has an appearance shown in the front view of FIG. In the figure, a plurality of sheets (two sheets in the figure) are provided inside the outer frame 1.
The vertical left and right partition plates 2 and a plurality of (seven in the diagram) horizontal upper and lower partition plates 3 form a plurality (24 in the diagram).
6), the left and right partition plates 2 have a certain width for stopping the upper and lower partition plates 3 and the adjacent 2a, 2a for partitioning, as shown in the top view of FIG.
2b2 sheets are required. Also, as shown in the top view (a) and the side view (b) of FIG. 7, the upper and lower partition plates 3 have a bent portion 3a having a screw hole 3b on the front surface and a rear end portion 3A of the main body 3. The hook portion 3c was provided.

[0003]

However, in the article storage shelf configured as described above, the upper and lower partition plates 3 are fixed by screws or partition fittings on the left and right partition plates 2 as a method for fixing the upper and lower partition plates 3. These operations are troublesome, and in the case of screwing, the partitioning position is adjusted, so that the structure of the partitioning plate becomes complicated, and the rear panel 3A and the like are required. In addition, when a metal plate is used to attach the upper and lower partition plates 3 to the left and right partition plates 2, there is a disadvantage that the weight is increased because the width is increased or the entire surface is formed as a plate. Furthermore, since the width of the article storage section is constant, if the width of the storage section is smaller than the article, the article is stored obliquely or laterally displaced. There is also the problem of being appropriate. Furthermore,
When the space between the upper and lower partition plates is small, the upper and lower partition plates are in the way, making it difficult to store articles.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such problems of the conventional technology. In this invention, a large number of upper and lower partition plate mounting grooves are arranged at regular intervals on the left and right partition plates. It is an object of the present invention to provide an article storage structure in which upper and lower partition plates are provided with stoppers to eliminate the need for screws.

[0005]

The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIG. 1 corresponding to the embodiment. A left and right partition plate 12 having a groove 12a to be attached and a hook-shaped stopper 12c having an inclined head at the front end of the groove 12a is formed by molding resin or the like.
Is a bent portion 13a at the front end and cutout portions 13 on both left and right sides near the bent portion 13a which engage with the retaining members 12c of the left and right partition plates 12.
b, 13b. And FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), by providing the bent portion 13a by diagonally cutting the rear corner of the upper and lower partition plate 13, the article storage position can be held at the center. . If the inclination angle of the bent portion 13a is selected, the narrow upper and lower partition plates can be stored. Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, the same effect can be obtained by forming the left and right partition plates 12 into a Y-shaped cross section. And FIG.
If the rear portions of the left and right partition plates 24 extend at right angles to both sides and are formed in a T-shaped cross section as in (b), the rear panel becomes unnecessary. Further, another invention 2 which is an improvement of the invention 1 is shown in FIG.
To explain, the left and right partition plates 32 are provided in front of the retaining pieces (corresponding to the lock pieces 32a for pulling out the article in the present invention 2) provided in the grooves of the first invention, and the lock pieces 32b for storing the articles. Corresponding to this, a notch 34 for engaging with the lock piece 32b for storing articles and a notch 35 for engaging with the lock piece for pulling out are provided in the upper and lower partition plate 33 in series. I have.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the configuration is as described above.
The height between the upper and lower partition plates 13 can be freely changed by selecting and inserting the opposing grooves 12a of the two left and right partition plates 12. The upper and lower partitions 13 are grooved 12
When it is inserted into a, it comes into contact with the inclined surface 121 of the stopper 12c. For this reason, the stopper 12c is pushed up to open the groove 12a, and the upper and lower partition plate 13 moves rearward along the groove 12a, and the stopper 12c
Is restored, and the hooks 122 lock the upper and lower partition plates 13. When pulling out the upper and lower partitioning plates 13, it is necessary to push up the stoppers 12 c of the left and right partitioning plates 12 from below and pull them forward. Further, the configuration in which the upper and lower partitioning plates 23 having the bent corners 23c formed by cutting the rear corners are mounted on the left and right partitioning plates 12, for example, when a disk-shaped article such as a CD (compact disk) is stored. It comes into contact with the inclined bent portion 23c and is corrected and stored in the center of the upper and lower partition plates 23 by itself. A similar effect can be obtained even if the left and right partition plates 22 are formed in a Y-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. further,
If the left and right partition plates 24 are formed with a rear end extending to both sides and formed in a T-shaped cross section, the same operation as when the left and right partition plates 12 are fixed to the rear panel can be obtained. Further, according to the improved invention 2 of the invention 1, when the upper and lower partitioning plates 33 are inserted into the grooves 32c of the left and right partitioning plates 32, the tip portions 33a first come into contact with the lock pieces 32b for article storage of the left and right partitioning plates 32. Touching,
It rises to the right due to elasticity, the groove 32c is opened, and the next pull-out lock piece 32a is pushed up to move to the rear. However, in the next notch 34, the lock piece 32 for article storage is used.
b is restored, and it descends and engages with the notch 34 to lock the upper and lower partition plates 33. When the upper and lower partition plates 33 are pulled out, the lock 32a for pulling out is engaged with the rear notch portion 34 and locked. For this reason, since the upper and lower partition plates 33 are pulled out halfway, the pulling out of the article is performed smoothly.
