難がある。By the way, the conventional adjusting device typified by the above has the following problems in terms of adjusting operation. That is, in the method (1), it is extremely troublesome to change the width of the product passage by inserting the hand into the narrow space in the refrigerator and confirming the adjustment position. In addition, the method (2) has the advantage that the switching operation and the adjustment position can be confirmed easily because the adjustment step can be switched by lever operation, but the movable plate is moved up and down relative to the product pressing plate by the cam operation. In addition, since the movable plate is configured to move forward and backward along the stepped guide groove by this vertical movement, the movement of the adjusting mechanism is not smooth and a large operating force is required to switch the adjusting position. Operability is poor.

い。In this case, at the adjustment position where the spacer is retracted from the product passage and stored in the window of the product pressing plate, the operation slider is moved to a position where it does not interfere with the convex portion protruding to the rear surface side of the spacer. . On the other hand, when the operation slider is slid from this adjustment position to the opposite adjustment position, the convex portion rides on the plate surface of the operation slider, whereby the spacer moves from the window of the product holding plate to the product passage side through the connecting plate. The connecting plate also protrudes in parallel, and the connecting plate also projects obliquely to form a gentle product guide surface between the plate surface of the product pressing plate and the spacer. Moreover, the spacer itself simply hangs down by its own weight so that the spacer can be projected by applying a slight force to the operating slider.
It can be moved to the retracted position. Since the operation slider is locked and held at each adjustment position by the stopper, the adjustment position will not be accidentally switched during use.
