Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an automatic vending machine arranged on a desk from being dropped simply without applying specific workmanship on an installation board by using structure for locking one short piece of each of a pair of fixing metal fittings to the front edge of the roof of the board and locking the other short piece to the rear edge on both the right and left sides of a body. SOLUTION: Each fixing metal fitting 14 is installed by penetrating a leg 12 into its longitudinal hole. On each of the right and left sides of the body 10 for an automatic vending machine e.g. two metal fittings 14 are fixed on front and rear legs 12 by turning their short pieces 14b downward and the male twister parts 12a of the legs 12 are clamped so that one short piece 14b is locked on the front edge 13b of a roof 13a and the other short piece 14b is locked on the rear edge 13c. Since the short piece 14b of each fixing metal fitting 14 is locked by hanging the piece 14b on the board 13 and a hole for penetrating the leg 12 is formed as a longitudinal hole 14c, the drop of the body 10 in the front and back direction of the board 13 can be prevented by four fixing metal fittings 14 of the same sort within a certain range of the size of the board 13.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a fall prevention device for a vending machine according to the present invention comprises a main body, a base having a rectangular top plate on which the main body is placed, A female screw provided in a corner, four legs having a male screw part detachably fitted to the female screw and a ground part having a larger diameter than the screw part; Two long holes that penetrate the male screw portions of the front and rear two legs on the left or right side of the leg, respectively, or straddle the male screw portions of the two legs and have a length equal to or longer than the distance between the two legs. A pair of fixing brackets having a long piece having one long hole and a pair of short pieces bent at right angles to this long piece, and male screw portions of the legs using a pair of fixing metal fittings on both the left and right sides of the main body. Into the long hole of the bracket, tighten the leg, and connect one short piece to the front edge of the tabletop and the other short piece to the rear edge. To.

Alternatively, a main body, a base having a rectangular top plate on which the main body is placed, female screws provided at four corners of the lower surface of the main body, and male screws detachably fitted to the female screws. And four legs having a ground portion having a diameter larger than that of the screw portion thereof, a long piece having a substantially L-shape and having a long hole passing through the male screw portion of each of the four legs, and this long piece. And a plurality of fixing brackets each having a short piece bent at a right angle, and the short pieces are respectively locked to any edge of the top plate of the base.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention locks short pieces of metal fittings on the front and rear edges of a rectangular top surface of a stand on which a vending machine is mounted, so that a force acts to push the vending machine from the front. Even if it falls, it is intended to prevent it from falling.

[0015]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment 1) FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and 4 show a fall prevention device for a vending machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a main body of the vending machine. Reference numeral 11 denotes female screws provided at four corners on the lower surface of the main body 10.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a leg which is fitted to the female screw 11 and comprises a male screw portion 12a and a grounding portion 12b. Reference numeral 13 denotes a table on which a vending machine is mounted, and has a front edge 13b and a rear edge 13c on a rectangular top surface 13a. , 14 are substantially L-shaped fixing brackets having a long piece 14a and a short piece 14b, and a long hole 14c is provided in the long piece 14a.

A fall prevention device for a vending machine according to the first embodiment of the present invention, constructed as described above, will be described below with reference to FIGS.
The operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. FIG.

The fixing bracket 14 is attached to the elongated hole 14c by penetrating the leg 12. For example, in the case of the left or right side of the main body 10 of the vending machine, two metal fittings 14 are attached to the front and rear legs 12 in both cases.
With its short piece 14b facing downward and one short piece 1
4b is locked to the front edge 13b of the top surface 13a and the other short piece 14b is locked to the rear edge 13c.
The fixing screw is fixed by tightening the male screw portion 12a.

As described above, the fixing bracket 14 attached to the leg of the vending machine is locked by hooking the short 14b piece on the base 13. In the fixing bracket 13, the hole through which the leg 12 is inserted is elongated. Therefore, if the size of the base 13 is within a certain range, four bases 14 of one type can prevent the base 13 from falling in the front-rear direction.

(Embodiment 2) Next, a fall prevention device for a vending machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6 show a fall prevention device for a vending machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The same numbers are assigned and the description is omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a fixing bracket,
a, a short piece 15b and a modified hole 15c.
In c, the warp diameter A is slightly larger than the diameter of the male screw portion 12a. Reference numeral 16 denotes a leg, which is composed of a male screw portion 16a, a ground portion 16b, and an intermediate portion 16c. The diameter of the intermediate portion is intermediate between the male screw portion 16a and the ground portion 16b, and the height B of the intermediate portion is The thickness of the fixing bracket 15 is two sheets or more.

The operation of the apparatus for preventing a vending machine from overturning according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, but the description of the same structure as that of the first embodiment will be omitted. .

The fixing bracket 15 has a leg 16 in its deformed hole 15c.
For example, a plurality of metal fittings 15 are fixed to one of the edges of the top surface 13a with the short pieces 15b facing downward on the legs 16 at the front and rear of the main body 10 of the vending machine. Then, the fixing bracket 15 is locked by engaging with the intermediate portion 16c of the leg 16.

As described above, the short piece 1 of the fixing bracket 15 is attached to one of the edges of the top plate 13 using one kind of the fixing bracket 15.
5b can be locked, so that the installation location of the vending machine is not restricted by the positional relationship between the installation base 13 and the surrounding wall, etc., and can be safely fixed. Even if the fixing bracket 15 is used for one leg 16, the height of the leg 16 can be the same, so that occurrence of rattling can be prevented.

[0027]

As described above, the fall prevention device for a vending machine according to the present invention uses a pair of fixing brackets on both the left and right sides of the main body to connect one short piece to the front edge of the top plate of the table and the other short piece. Or a plurality of fixing brackets having a substantially L-shaped long piece and a short piece bent at right angles to the long piece, and the short piece is attached to one of the edges of the top plate of the table. By using a structure in which the vending machine is arranged on the table, it is possible to easily prevent the vending machine from dropping without special work on the base to be installed.

Further, since the metal fitting can be attached only in the direction opposite to the direction in which the vending machine may fall, the stability can be easily improved.
