ることにより取出が容易となっている。(G) Effects of the Invention As described above, among the product conveyance shelf devices arranged vertically in multiple stages, for the one half on the road, a pair of product receiving shelves that are moved up and down by an elevator device are provided. The upper product shelf receives the selected product and moves down to the central product outlet position, while the lower product shelf similarly receives the selected product and lowers the selected product to the central product outlet position. It is configured to rise to the outlet position. Therefore, the stroke distance of the product shelf is shortened, and the sales time is shortened, compared to the conventional configuration in which there is only one product shelf that moves up and down, and the product outlet is located at the lower position. In addition, since the product is brought to the central takeout port for removal, the slanted product removal chute that is placed at the bottom of the conventional system is no longer required, and the product is transported to the space where it was installed. Since the number of types can be increased by providing a shelf device, the efficiency of storing products can be improved. Moreover, by placing the outlet for taking out the product in the center, it is easy to take out the product.
