Further, since the depth adjusting plate is provided with the contact portion, when the depth adjusting plate is moved back and forth, the depth adjusting plate can be moved in contact with the partition plate, so that the product size is changed. It is possible to improve the operability of changing the setting at this time, and prevent a delivery failure due to an adjustment error. In addition, even if the partition plate may bend to reduce the width of the inside of the storage frame when the partition plate is long in the vertical direction, the contact portion is in contact with the partition plate, so the storage frame It is possible to regulate the width dimension and prevent defective delivery inside the storage frame.

Further, since the depth adjusting plate is provided with a plurality of insertion holes into which a plurality of fingers can be inserted, when the depth adjusting plate is moved back and forth, the depth adjusting plate is moved with the fingers or the like inserted. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability of the setting change when changing the size of the product, and prevent a delivery failure due to an adjustment error. In addition, you can insert multiple fingers into multiple insertion holes of the depth adjustment plate, and you can change the setting with the palm completely open, so you can reduce the size of the product even if the inside width of the storage frame is small. It is possible to improve the operability of setting change when changing, and it is possible to prevent a delivery failure due to an adjustment error.

Further, the depth adjusting plate is provided with a depth adjusting plate inclined rearward so that when the products are filled and stacked, the products above the lower product can be stored backward. It is possible to prevent the stacked products from dropping even if vibration or shock is applied during filling.
