Thereby, when replacing the display, the opening can be held open without holding the cover plate by hand, and the display replacement work is further facilitated. Further, even if the cover plate is pulled out due to mischief or the like, since the cover plate does not come off the mounting frame, it is possible to prevent the cover plate from being stolen.

Further, in the above, there is further provided a panel having a flat portion having a display mounted on the front surface and a folded portion which is folded forward from an upper end of the flat plate portion. It extends along the front surface of the front door to the other vertical frame portion, and the folded portion of the panel is disposed in the groove of the upper horizontal frame portion so as to sandwich the upper end portion of the cover plate between the flat plate portion and the folded portion. Is preferred.

According to the display device of the vending machine, when the cover plate closes the opening of the mounting frame, the folded portion of the panel sandwiches the upper end of the cover plate with the flat plate portion. Accordingly, the display is covered in the upward direction and the front-back direction by the cover plate and the panel. This allows
For example, even when rainwater flows down from above the display along the front door, the display can be reliably prevented from getting wet, and the display can be reliably prevented from being stained by rainwater.

[0015] Further, in the above, it is preferable to further comprise a lock mechanism for fixing the cover plate at a closed position in which the opening is closed.

According to the display device of the vending machine, the display can be held in a state of being shut off from the outside by the lock mechanism and the cover plate, and the display can be reliably prevented from being stained or stolen by mischief or the like. .

Furthermore, in the above, it is preferable that the lock mechanism fixes the cover plate to the closed position in conjunction with the closing operation of the front door.

According to the display device of the vending machine, the cover plate can be automatically fixed to the closed position in accordance with the operation of closing the front door, and it is necessary to separately perform the locking operation of the cover plate. Since there is no lock operation, there is no need to worry about forgetting the lock operation of the cover plate, and the lock operation itself becomes easy.
