    The installation case A is, for example, a vending machine, a display case, a locker, a figurine, a simple warehouse, a ticket vending machine, various installation type shelves, and the like. In the embodiment, the support device X supports the vending machine A in a stable state via a pair of left and right support bases 1 and 1A via a total of four leg members B.

    The support device X keeps the posture of the vending machine A in a horizontal state by inserting the seat plate portions of a total of four reverse bolt-shaped (reverse T-shaped bolt) leg members B into the left and right support bases 1 and 1A, respectively. Accordingly, the pair of left and right support bases 1 and 1A constituting the support device X have a required interval on the floor surface or the flat ground G in consideration of the positions of the seat plate portions of the four reverse bolt-shaped leg members B. Are arranged in parallel. Since the pair of left and right support bases 1 and 1A have the same configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the configuration of one support base 1 will be described here, and the description of the other support base 1A will be cited.

    Now, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the reverse bolt-shaped leg member B has a slightly thick circular seat plate portion (screw head) a and a vertical position from the center of the seat plate portion a. It consists of an extending leg portion (screw portion) b and an adjusting nut c screwed onto the leg portion b. The adjustment nut c is not necessarily a component of the leg member B.

    In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 7, etc., the base 2 constituting the support base 1 is made of a suitable material such as wood, concrete, hard metal, etc., and has a prismatic shape (a rectangular cross section) and a long shape. Made. In the embodiment, a long square member is formed of a metal such as iron. As described above, the support device X is for installing the installation case horizontally and stably on the ground G. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the length L in the front-rear direction of the base 2 is the vending machine A. It is preferable that it is longer than the depth L1.

    Moreover, the left-right width of the base 2 is set in consideration of the outer diameter of the seat plate portion a of the reverse bolt-shaped leg member B. In addition, the seat plate portion a is surrounded by a pair of left and right support pieces 3 and 3 that are supported by the upper surface 2a of the base 2 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the width of the base 2 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the seat plate portion a. Of course, it is conceivable to set the left and right width of the base 2 slightly with respect to the outer diameter of the seat plate portion a. 3 need to be fitted from the front opening 4a or the rear opening 4b.

    Further, the pair of left and right support pieces 3 and 3 constituting the support base 1 is a long plate member formed by bending a rail-shaped steel plate material into an L shape, and for example, as shown in FIG. When the plate part is integrally fixed to the left and right side walls of the base 2 using fixing means such as welding and fixing, the left and right vertical support walls 3a and 3a and the left and right horizontal support walls 3b and 3b are formed. .

    Accordingly, the support base 3 extends from the left and right side walls 2b and 2b of the long base to the upper surface 2a of the long base 2 at a substantially right angle. Left and right vertical support walls 3a, 3a and left and right horizontal support walls 3b, 3b bent inward from the upper ends of the vertical support walls 3a, 3a, respectively. The support base 3 includes a wide space portion (region) 4 surrounded by a pair of left and right support pieces 3 and 3, and opposite end surfaces of the left and right horizontal support walls 3b and 3b communicating with the wide space portion (region) 4. The long guide groove 5 guides the leg portion b of the leg member B.

Further, one or a plurality of support holes 7 are formed at both ends of the left and right vertical support walls 3a, 3a or at portions near both ends. The positions of the pair of left and right support holes 7 are determined in consideration of the fixing positions of the seat plate portion a and the leg portion b of the leg member B. The diameters of the pair of left and right support holes 7 are determined in consideration of the outer diameter of the locking rod 9 shown in FIG. That is, in the embodiment, the positions of the pair of left and right support holes 7 are so-called tangential places where the outer peripheral surface of the locking rod 9 is substantially in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the seat plate portion a of the leg member B. The dimensional difference between the inner diameters of the pair of support holes 7 and the outer diameters of the locking bars is such that the locking bars 9 can be inserted into and removed from the support holes 7 in the horizontal direction. Is set to the normal state.

    Next, the locking rod 9 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the locking bar 9 is fitted from one of the pair of left and right support holes 7 and is horizontally mounted so as to contact the outer peripheral surface of the seat plate portion a of the leg member B. In the embodiment, since the length of the locking bar 9 is longer than the lateral width W of the support base 1 including the left and right support pieces 3, the lock rod 9 is horizontally mounted on the support base 1 while penetrating the left and right support pieces 3. Both end portions 9a, 9a protrude evenly from the left and right vertical support walls 3a, 3a, respectively. Preferably, a pair of left and right peripheral grooves (male engaging portions) 10 are formed in portions near the both ends 9a and 9a of the locking rod 9, and a pair of left and right support holes (female engaging portions) 7 of these peripheral grooves 10 are provided. Since the locking rod 9 cannot be pulled out of the support hole 7 as it is, the one end portion 9a of the locking rod 9 will not be detached from the support hole 7 due to vibration or the like.

    With the above configuration, a part (central portion) of the intermediate portion 9b of the locking bar 9 located in the wide space portion (region) 4 of the left and right support pieces 3 is the seat plate of the leg member B as shown in FIG. Since the contact with the outer peripheral surface of the portion a, the locking bar 9 prevents the leg member B from sliding in the direction of the elongated guide groove 5. Further, a groove 10 that engages with the pair of left and right support holes 7 is formed in either of the both end portions 9a of the locking rod 9 or a portion near the both end portions, and when the locking rod 9 is pulled out in the horizontal direction as it is, The stop rod 9 cannot be easily removed due to the engagement relationship of the edge portion between the groove 10 and the support hole 7, while the dimensional difference between the inner diameter of the support hole 7 and the outer diameter of the locking rod 9 is Since the locking rod 9 is set in a loosely fitted state so that it can be inserted into and removed from the support hole 7, the vending machine A can be replaced for reasons such as replacement and repair of the vending machine A. Can be removed from the support device X, the engagement rod 9 can be lifted up by hand to release the engagement relationship and can be easily detached from the left and right vertical support walls 3a, 3a.

    In the first embodiment, it has been described that the locking bar 9 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the seat plate portion a of the leg member B. However, depending on the embodiment, the adjustment nut c is located on the seat plate portion a. Alternatively, when a nut portion is continuously formed on the seat plate portion a, the outer peripheral surface of the locking rod 9 may be brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the adjusting nut c or the nut portion. Therefore, the formation positions of the left and right support holes 7 can be set within a range in which the leg member B does not slide.
