[Disclosure of Invention]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, in the can stocker provided by the present invention, a pair of side panels having a long shape in one direction are arranged opposite to each other, and the peripheries of these side panels are connected at a predetermined location to form an inner part. A first support portion having a stocker body in which a space is set and supporting an end of a can holding drinking water or the like is provided on one side in the width direction of each of the side panels, and a second support portion is provided on one side in the width direction. An opening and a canister are provided at the other side so as to extend in the longitudinal direction, respectively, and at one end and the other end of the stocker main body, the can is movable between the internal space and the inner space. A can stocker provided with an outlet, wherein the opening is opened to allow movement of the can between the internal space and the outside, and the opening is closed to restrict movement of the can. To be selected and can be selected The opening and closing member is further provided, and the opening and closing member is connected to each of the side panels at, for example, one end of one side of each of the side panels. The opening / closing member is configured to be rotatable around the fulcrum so that the opening / closing state of the opening can be selected.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the stocker main body is capable of standing on one side edge of the side panel as a bottom and prone on the other side edge of the side panel as a bottom.

In a preferred embodiment, a handle member is further attached to the other end of each of the side panels so as to connect the other ends thereof. It is configured to be rotatable around a connection portion with each of the side panels.

In the above configuration, the opening / closing state of the opening can be selected by the opening / closing member. Therefore, if the state in which the opening is closed is selected, even if one end of the side panel is raised as the bottom, The can is not inadvertently discharged from the inside of the stocker body through the opening. That is, if the stocker body (can stocker itself) is configured to be self-supporting, it can be stored and used in a refrigerator or the like with the can stocker upright. Also, during transportation, the can stocker can be carried in a standing state in which the cans are housed without removing the cans housed therein.

[0011] Especially, if the handle member is attached to the other end of the side panel, the carrying of the can stocker is simplified and the usability is improved. In addition, if the handle member is rotatably mounted with the connection portion as a fulcrum, when the handle member is not used, the handle member can be selected and kept in a state where it does not interfere.

Of course, if the can stocker is configured to be prone, the can can be supported by the second support portion provided on each side panel in a state where the can stocker is prone, similarly to the conventional can stocker. Then, the can is accommodated in the inside, and the can is supported on the first support portion so that the can can be held on the top of the can stocker. When the opening is closed by the opening / closing member, the can can be placed on the opening / closing member.

In a preferred embodiment, the first support portion and the second support portion are inclined so that the distance from the other side edge of the side panel decreases toward the other end. .

[0014] In the above configuration, when the can is taken out from the inside of the can stocker through the can take-out port, when the can is taken out from the inside of the can stocker, the other cans contained therein can be used. Automatically moves to the exit side. At this time, the cans can be replenished inside the can stocker by the number of cans taken out. Therefore, the cans at the top of the can stocker supported by the first support portion are opened through the opening. Can be accommodated. In this case, since the first support portion is lowered toward the other end portion in the longitudinal direction, that is, as the distance from the opening increases, the can at the top of the can stocker is automatically stored inside the can stocker. Although it is not performed, the can can be accommodated in the can stocker simply by lightly pushing the can toward the opening.

[0015] The first support portion and the second support portion can be configured as a first guide rail and a second guide rail formed so as to project toward the other side panel.

In a preferred embodiment, a fitting portion to which an end of a connecting member for connecting the side panels is fitted is provided near the other end of the first guide rail. It is provided so as to hinder the movement of the can supported on one guide rail to the other end.

When the side panels are connected to each other by a connecting member formed as a separate member to form the main body of the can stocker, it is necessary to provide a fitting portion or the like for connecting the connecting member to the side panels. On the other hand, in a configuration in which the first support portion is lowered toward the other end, the can is moved to the vicinity of the other end of the first support so as not to move the can to the other end more than necessary. , It is necessary to provide a stopper. For this reason, if the fitting portion for the connecting member is provided near the other end of the first support portion so as to hinder the movement of the can to the other end, it is not necessary to newly provide a stopper portion. Such advantages can be obtained.

[0018] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
