Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a fall prevention device for a vending machine.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, in vending machines and the like, operations such as opening the front door, pulling out the product storage shelves in the main body, or installed equipment such as banknote processing devices at the time of product replenishment or maintenance etc. Then, the center of gravity moves to the front surface of the main body and the main body becomes unstable, and there is a risk of falling forward in some cases.

For this reason, it is known that the vending machine main body is fixed to anchor bolts embedded in the installation floor surface, and is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-195481.

(C) Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of such a conventional technique, although the vending machine main body can be prevented from tipping over, anchor bolts or the like are installed by embedding it on the floor surface where the vending machine is installed. Since the construction is required, there is a problem that it is often installed without construction.

In addition, places installed in offices and the like tend to dislike anchor bolts and the like embedded in the floor surface, and there has been a problem that the fall prevention measures for vending machines are incomplete.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a fall prevention device for a vending machine that does not require construction such as anchor bolts on the floor surface at the site and can easily perform fall prevention measures when assembling the vending machine. To do.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a vending machine provided with a front door that can be opened and closed on the front of the main body, and a device installed inside the main body that can be pulled out forward when the front door is opened. For a heavy goods storage room with a mounting opening on the back of the bottom of the machine body, multiple heavy goods that can be detachably stacked in this heavy goods storage room, and heavy goods that are stacked and stored in the heavy goods storage room. It is provided with a holding member that locks to prevent floating and an opening / closing lid that detachably closes the mounting opening.

(E) Operation The present invention having such a configuration is configured to store a plurality of heavy objects in a heavy-weight storage chamber at the bottom of the vending machine body by stacking the plurality of heavy objects from the mounting opening, and prevent the lifting of the heavy objects by the holding member and to open / close the mounting opening. It is detachably closed by a lid, and the center of gravity is formed on the bottom of the vending machine to prevent it from falling.

(F) Embodiments Each drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a vending machine body, and a front door 2 that can be opened and closed is provided on the front surface. On the front surface of the front door 2, there are provided a coin insertion slot 3, a bill insertion slot 4, a product selection button 5, a sales port 6 for sending out a meal ticket as a product, and the like.

Further, the main body 1 which is opened by opening the front door 2
Inside, a coin processing device 7 for inspecting coins inserted from the coin insertion port 3 and sending out change and the like, a banknote processing device 8 for inspecting banknotes inserted from the banknote insertion port 4, and the like. And the selected product is printed on ticket paper and sold 6.
The meal ticket issuing device 9 and the like to be sent to each are provided so as to be pulled out to the front of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a heavy article storage chamber provided at the bottom of the main body 1, and a mounting port 11 is opened on the back surface of the main body 1 so that the heavy items 12 can be detachably stacked and accommodated from the mounting port 11.
Further, in the heavy load storage chamber 10, elastic members made of urethane foam are attached and attached to the inner wall surfaces, respectively, and the front wall surface 10A has an interval corresponding to the thickness of the heavy load 12 vertically, and A pair of slits 14 are provided in upper and lower stages.

The heavy object 12 is a rectangular parallelepiped made of steel,
Even when the coin processing device 7, the banknote processing device 8, the meal ticket issuing device 9 and the like are pulled out to the front of the main body 1 by stacking and placing a plurality of sheets from the mounting opening 11 on the bottom surface of the heavy goods storage chamber 10, The attachment / detachment is adjusted so that the unstable state such as the inclination of 1 is not generated.

15 is a locking piece 16 protruding from the lower end of the heavy load storage chamber
It is an opening / closing lid that can be inserted and locked in the locking hole 17 opened on the bottom surface of 10 and the upper end is screwed to the mounting piece 18 provided on the upper part of the mounting port 11 so that the mounting port 11 can be opened and closed. Is blocked.

The opening / closing lid 15 has an elastic member 13 made of urethane foam attached and attached to the inner surface of the heavy load storage chamber 10, and the front wall surface.
Similar to 10A, a pair of left and right slits 19 are provided in a plurality of upper and lower steps, with an interval corresponding to the thickness of the heavy object 12 being vertically provided.

Then, the heavy load 12 stored in the heavy load storage chamber 10 is
When the mounting port 11 is closed by the opening / closing lid 15, the front wall surface
Elastic member 13 provided on 10A and elastic member 13 provided on opening / closing lid 15
It is elastically held so as to be held by and is prevented from moving due to vibration or the like.

20 is the top heavy object 12 stored in the heavy object storage chamber 10.
A holding member that abuts and locks on the upper surface to prevent lifting of the heavy load 12, and is provided from the outside of the heavy load storage chamber 10 to the front wall surface 10.
The heavy load storage chamber 1 is formed by inserting the restriction portions 20A into the slits 14 opened in A and the slits 19 opened in the opening / closing lid 15, respectively.
It is made to project into 0 and is brought into contact with and locked to the upper surface of the uppermost heavy object 12, and the fixing portion 20B is detachably fixed to the front wall surface 10A or the opening / closing lid 15 with a screw 21. Therefore, the holding member 20 is used for the heavy load 12 that is stacked and stored in the heavy load storage chamber 10.
Depending on the number of sheets, the regulation section 20A is inserted into the slits 14 and 19 corresponding to the upper surface of the uppermost heavy object 12, and the fixing section 20B is screwed in.
It is fixed detachably at 1.

(G) Effect of the Invention Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to take a fall prevention measure in the manufacturing process of the vending machine, and it is not necessary to construct anchor bolts or the like on the installation floor surface at the site. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the vending machine from tipping over even in a place where construction on the installation floor is disliked.
