SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is an automatic device that can be easily attached to a vending machine and does not spoil the beauty of the vending machine. Its purpose is to provide door lock fittings for vending machines.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an automatic vending machine for locking a door that opens and closes the front of the automatic vending machine in the form of an open door in a closed state. In the door lock metal fittings, a door-side metal fitting that is fixed to the end of the door bottom plate on the door tip side and that extends forward and outward from the gap between the lower end of the door and the door swallowing part of the vending machine body, and a door-side metal fitting. Corresponding to the door side metal fittings, it is fixed to the base plate of the vending machine main body and equipped with the main body side metal fittings that extend forward from the base plate. The feature is that each locking portion capable of being stopped is formed.

[0006]

According to the lock metal fitting of the present invention, the door-side metal fitting can be attached by opening the door by fixing the door-side metal fitting to the end of the door bottom plate on the door tip side. Similarly, by fixing the body side metal fittings to the base plate of the vending machine body, the body side metal fittings can be attached from the bottom of the vending machine body that is lifted by the legs or from the door swallowing part by opening the door. it can. That is, both metal fittings can be attached without disassembling a part of the vending machine body or a part of the door.

On the other hand, the door-side metal fitting extends outward and forward from a gap between the door-side drinking part of the vending machine body and the body-side fitting extends forward from the base plate. The external extension portion is located below the door end side of the door of the vending machine, and is provided at a position inconspicuous to the product purchaser. Then, by forming the locking portions that can be locked together by the lock on the externally extending portions of both fittings, the lock is provided so as to be easy to operate and inconspicuous,
This ensures that the vending machine body and the door can be locked.

FIG. 1 is an external view of a vending machine to which the door lock fitting is attached, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cut side view around the door lock fitting. As shown in both figures, the vending machine 1 is composed of a vending machine body 2 and a door 3 that opens and closes the front surface of the vending machine body 2. The door 3 is opened and closed in the form of a hinged door by a hinge (not shown) provided at the left end in the figure, and is closed and locked by a lever lock 4 at the right end in the figure. A door lock fitting 5 is attached to the lower right end of the vending machine 1 in the figure, and a padlock 6 is hooked on the door lock fitting 5. That is, in addition to the lock mechanism by the lever lock 4, the door 3 can be completely locked by the second door lock mechanism by the door lock fitting 5 and the padlock 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, the door lock fitting 5 is
The door side metal fitting 7 is attached to the door 3, and the main body side metal fitting 8 is attached to the vending machine body 2. The door-side metal fitting 7 is attached to the lower surface of the end of the bottom plate 9 of the door 3 on the door-end side, and the body-side metal fitting 8 is attached to the lower surface of the base plate 10 of the vending machine body 2 correspondingly. .

The door-side metal fitting 7 is made of a plate material such as stainless steel formed in an inverted "Z" shape so as to follow the shape of the lower surface of the bottom plate 9 in the front-rear direction. Is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 9. The bottom plate 9 is formed with a plurality of round holes 9a from the inside, while the base 22 of the door-side metal fitting 7 is formed with a plurality of fool holes 22a corresponding to the round holes 9a. The door side metal fitting 7 is fixed to the bottom plate 9 by tightening the nuts of the bolts 21 inserted into the holes 9a and the burred holes 22a from below.

The front end of the door side metal fitting 7 has a bottom plate 9
Extending outward from a gap 12 between the lower surface of the vending machine and the upper surface of the door swallowing portion 11 of the vending machine body 2, and a locking hole for locking the padlock 6 in the external extending portion 23. 23
a is formed.

Similarly, the main body side metal member 8 is made of a plate material such as stainless steel formed in a "Z" shape so as to follow the shape of the lower surface of the base plate 10 having the reinforcing channel portion 13 in the front-rear direction. The base portion 32 is fixed to the lower surface of the channel portion 13 of the base plate 10 by a plurality of bolts 31. A plurality of round holes 10a are formed in the base plate 10 through the channel portion 13 from the door swallowing portion 11 side, while a plurality of screw holes 32a are formed in the base portion 32 of the main body side metal fitting 8 in correspondence therewith. The bolt 31 that is formed and is inserted into the round hole 10a from above.
Is fastened to the screw hole 32a of the main body side metal fitting 8 applied from below, the main body side metal fitting 8 is fixed to the base plate 10.

The tip of the metal fitting 8 on the main body side is the base plate 1
From the gap 15 between the lower surface of 0 and the foundation 14, it rises to the position close to the door side metal fitting 7 and extends forward,
The outer extending portion 33 of the main body side metal fitting 8 is arranged so as to be aligned with the outer extending portion 23 of the door side metal fitting 7. Then, in the external extension portion 33, a locking hole 33a for locking the padlock 6 is fitted to the locking hole 23a of the door side metal fitting 7.
Are formed.

When the door 3 is closed, the locking hole 23a of the door-side metal fitting 7 and the locking hole 33a of the main-body-side metal fitting 8 are vertically aligned with each other, and the latch 6a of the padlock 6 is inserted through the locking hole 23a. The side metal fitting 7 and the main body side metal fitting 8 are locked together, and the door 3 is locked.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the door lock fitting 5 is attached to a two-door vending machine 101. In this vending machine 101, the front opening of the vending machine body 102 is configured to be opened and closed in two doors, a main door 103 and a sub-door 104, in a double door type. Both doors 1
03 and 104 are closed so that the front end of the main door 103 overlaps with the front end of the sub-door 104 from the front, so that the door lock fitting 5 and the padlock 6 are
It is attached to the lower position of 03.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the round hole 9a of the bottom plate 9 can be drilled from an empty space beside the sales chute inside the bottom plate 9, and the round hole 10a of the base plate 10 can be formed. Can be drilled from the door swallowing portion 11 side. Therefore, the door side metal fitting 7 and the main body side metal fitting 8 can be easily attached only by performing a simple process inside the vending machine 1. Further, the door side metal fitting 7 is attached using the gap 12 between the lower end of the door 3 and the vending machine body 2, and the main body side metal fitting 8 connects the lower surface of the vending machine body 2 and the foundation 14. Since the space 15 is used for mounting, it is not necessary to process or disassemble the components other than those described above, and it can be mounted at an inconspicuous position. Therefore, in addition to the existing vending machine 1, the vending machine 1 that particularly needs such a second lock mechanism is used.
On the other hand, the door side metal fitting 7 and the main body side metal fitting 8 can be easily attached later.

In the present embodiment, the door-side metal fitting and the main body-side metal fitting are made of a plate material, but the material and shape of both metal fittings are not limited to this. Also, the locking portions of both metal fittings to which the lock is attached can be appropriately changed according to the type of lock. Furthermore, the door-side metal fitting may be fixed to the lower end surface of the door and bent so as to extend to the outside from the gap, while the body-side metal fitting is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate, that is, the door swallowing portion. You can do it this way. Installation becomes easier.

[0018]
