At that time, when the product holding body 40 on which the product A is placed descends to the lower end of the chain 30, the product holding body 40 is reversed and the product A is dropped and carried out of the product holding body 40. The product holder 40 inverted at the lower end of the chain 30 is supported in a state where it is suspended from the connecting pin 32 of the chain 30 only by the engaging portion 41. When the product holder 40 rises on the back side and rises to the upper end of the chain 30, it is reversed to the product passage 50 side. At that time, the product holding body 40 is held in a state inclined obliquely upward, and the product A can be placed.

ここで、商品保持体４０に載置する商品Ｂの全長が商品通路５０のスペースよりも大きい場合には、図７に示すように、隣り合う商品通路５０の間に位置する仕切板６０を後方に移動させることにより、隣り合う商品通路５０間が連通する。更に、商品保持体４０をそれぞれ同じ高さに取付けることにより、図８に示すように、複数の商品保持体４０に亘るように商品Ｂを載置することが可能となる。この状態で、複数の商品保持体４０に亘って商品Ｂを載置した複数のチェーン３０を同時に回動させることにより、前述と同様、商品Ｂが商品保持体４０から落下搬出される。   Here, when the total length of the product B placed on the product holding body 40 is larger than the space of the product passage 50, the partition plate 60 positioned between the adjacent product passages 50 is moved backward as shown in FIG. , The adjacent product passages 50 communicate with each other. Furthermore, by attaching the product holders 40 to the same height, the product B can be placed so as to extend over a plurality of product holders 40 as shown in FIG. In this state, by simultaneously rotating the plurality of chains 30 on which the product B is placed across the plurality of product holding bodies 40, the product B is dropped and carried out of the product holding body 40 as described above.

このように、本実施形態の商品収納コラムによれば、隣り合う商品通路５０の間を幅方向に仕切る仕切板６０を前後方向に移動自在に構成し、仕切板６０を後方へ移動させることにより隣り合う商品通路５０間を連通するようにしたので、仕切板６０を取外すことなく隣り合う商品通路５０間に亘って商品Ｂを載置することができ、一つの商品通路５０の幅方向に収納可能なスペースよりも全長が大きい商品Ｂを収納することができる。   Thus, according to the product storage column of the present embodiment, the partition plate 60 that partitions between the adjacent product passages 50 in the width direction is configured to be movable in the front-rear direction, and the partition plate 60 is moved rearward. Since the adjacent product passages 50 communicate with each other, the product B can be placed between the adjacent product passages 50 without removing the partition plate 60 and stored in the width direction of one product passage 50. A product B having a total length larger than the possible space can be stored.

図９乃至図１１は本発明の一実施形態を示すもので、図９は商品収納コラムの要部平面断面図、図１０は仕切板を収納した状態を示す商品収納コラムの要部平面断面図、図１１は仕切板の引き出し動作を示す要部平面断面図である。尚、前記前提技術と同等の構成部分には同一の符号を付して示す。 9 to 11 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a plan sectional view of the main part of the product storage column. FIG. 10 is a plan sectional view of the main part of the product storage column showing a state in which the partition plate is stored. FIG. 11 is a plan sectional view of an essential part showing the operation of pulling out the partition plate. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and shown to the component equivalent to the said premise technique.

本実施形態の商品収納コラムは、商品通路５０の間を幅方向に仕切る仕切板７０が前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２とから構成され、前端側部材７１の後端側及び後端側部材７２の前端側をそれぞれ断面コ字状に屈曲することによって、前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２が互いに係合する係合部７１ａ，７２ａが設けられている。   In the product storage column of the present embodiment, the partition plate 70 that partitions the product passages 50 in the width direction includes a front end side member 71 and a rear end side member 72, and the rear end side and the rear end side of the front end side member 71. By bending the front end side of the member 72 into a U-shaped cross section, engaging portions 71a and 72a are provided to engage the front end side member 71 and the rear end side member 72 with each other.

以上のように構成された商品収納コラムにおいて、商品保持体４０に載置する商品Ｃの全長が商品通路５０のスペースよりも大きい場合には、図９に示すように、隣り合う商品通路５０の間に位置する仕切板７０の前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２を後方に移動させることにより、複数の商品通路５０間が連通する。更に、商品保持体４０をそれぞれ同じ高さに取付けることによって、図１０に示すように、複数の商品保持体４０に亘るように商品Ｃを載置することが可能となる。この状態で、複数の商品保持体４０に亘って商品Ｃを載置した複数のチェーン３０を同時に回動させることにより、商品Ｃが商品保持体４０から落下搬出される。   In the commodity storage column configured as described above, when the total length of the commodity C placed on the commodity holder 40 is larger than the space of the commodity passage 50, as shown in FIG. By moving the front end side member 71 and the rear end side member 72 of the partition plate 70 located therebetween to the rear, the plurality of product passages 50 communicate with each other. Furthermore, by attaching the product holders 40 to the same height, the product C can be placed across a plurality of product holders 40 as shown in FIG. In this state, the product C is dropped and carried out of the product holder 40 by simultaneously rotating the plurality of chains 30 on which the product C is placed across the plurality of product holders 40.

また、仕切板７０を収納した状態から再び商品通路５０を仕切る場合には、図１１に示すように、前端側部材７１の前端側を引き出すことにより、係合部７１ａ，７２ａが互いに係合して前端側部材７１と共に後端側部材７２が引き出される。   Further, when the product passage 50 is partitioned again from the state in which the partition plate 70 is stored, the engaging portions 71a and 72a are engaged with each other by pulling out the front end side of the front end side member 71 as shown in FIG. Then, the rear end side member 72 is pulled out together with the front end side member 71.

このように、本実施形態の商品収納コラムによれば、隣り合う商品通路５０の間を幅方向に仕切る仕切板７０を前後方向に移動可能な前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２から構成し、前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２をそれぞれ後方へ移動させることにより隣り合う商品通路５０を一体に形成するようにしたので、収納した仕切板７０が商品通路５０内に突出することなく隣り合う商品通路５０を一体に形成することができ、隣り合う商品通路５０のスペースを更に有効に利用することができる。   Thus, according to the product storage column of the present embodiment, the partition plate 70 that partitions between the adjacent product passages 50 in the width direction is configured by the front end side member 71 and the rear end side member 72 that are movable in the front-rear direction. Since the adjacent product passages 50 are integrally formed by moving the front end side member 71 and the rear end side member 72 rearward, the stored partition plates 70 are adjacent to each other without protruding into the product passage 50. The matching product passages 50 can be formed integrally, and the space between the adjacent product passages 50 can be used more effectively.

また、前端側部材７１の後端側及び後端側部材７２の前端側に互いに係合する係合部７１ａ，７２ａを設けたので、前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２を各係合部７１ａ，７２ａによって連結することができ、例えば仕切板７０が収納された状態から商品通路５０を仕切る際に、前端側部材７１のみを引き出すことにより商品通路５０を仕切ることができるという利点がある。   Further, since the engaging portions 71a and 72a that engage with each other are provided on the rear end side of the front end side member 71 and the front end side of the rear end side member 72, the front end side member 71 and the rear end side member 72 are connected to the respective engagement portions. For example, when the product passage 50 is partitioned from the state in which the partition plate 70 is accommodated, there is an advantage that the product passage 50 can be partitioned by pulling out only the front end side member 71.

また、係合部７１ａ，７２ａを断面コ字状に形成したので、前端側部材７１及び後端側部材７２の端部を屈曲させることにより容易に各係合部７１ａ，７２ａを形成することができ、生産性の向上を図ることができる。   Further, since the engaging portions 71a and 72a are formed in a U-shaped cross section, the engaging portions 71a and 72a can be easily formed by bending the end portions of the front end side member 71 and the rear end side member 72. And productivity can be improved.
