Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a product storage shelf for a vending machine and a manufacturing method thereof.

First, the inventor formed a left shelf wall having a left passageway for guiding the left end of the product on the inner surface thereof, and a right shelf wall having a right passageway for guiding the right end of the product on the inner surface thereof. , has invented a product storage shelf for a vending machine which is obtained by arranging these facing each other and fixing them with a fixing member.

However, as shown in FIG. 1, in this product storage shelf, the left shelf wall 1 and the right shelf wall 2 are only connected by a fixing member such as a bolt or two nuts, and there is no space between them. Since there was no such thing as a back wall, an inner box 4 was always required when placing this vending machine inside the outer box 3 of the vending machine.

Note that 5 is a front panel. Furthermore, in the product storage shelf, the left side shelf wall 1 and the right side shelf wall 2 are molded separately, and the two formed in this way must be connected by a fixing member. It was inconvenient to manufacture.

This invention improves the previously invented product storage rack for vending machines and its manufacturing method, which has the above-mentioned drawbacks, and eliminates the need for an inner box when it is placed inside a vending machine. The purpose is to facilitate molding and assembly.

One of the features of this invention is a left shelf wall 12 having a left side passage 11 formed on its inner surface for guiding the left end of a product, for example, canned juice;
A right shelf wall 14 that is disposed opposite to the left shelf wall 12 and has a right passage 13 formed on its inner surface for guiding the right end of the product.
, a rear wall 15 that connects the rear ends of the left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14, and a fixing member 16 such as a bolt or nut that connects and fixes the left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14. This is a product storage shelf for a vending machine, characterized in that the left side shelf wall, the right side shelf wall, and the back wall are integrally molded.

In the above configuration, the material of the product storage shelf is preferably synthetic resin, but is not limited to this.

Next, the number, shape, etc. of the aisles through which products are guided can be changed as desired.

According to the product storage shelf for a vending machine of the present invention, as shown in FIG. When it is placed in the outer box 17 of the present invention, it is no longer necessary to use an inner box as in the past.

Since the left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14 are connected by the rear wall 15, only the front portions need to be connected and fixed, making assembly easy.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a product storage shelf for a vending machine, in which first a left side passage 11 for guiding the left end of the product to the inner surface in an assembly line as shown in FIG.
a left shelf wall 12 formed with a left shelf wall 12, a rear wall 15 connected to the left shelf wall 12, and a right shelf wall 1 connected to the rear wall 15 with a right passage formed on the inner surface for guiding the right end of the product during assembly.
4, and then, as shown in FIG. 4, the left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14 are bent at right angles to the rear wall 15 through the bending grooves 18 and 19, respectively. The left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14 are finally fixed by fixing members 16 such as bolts and nuts.

According to the manufacturing method of the vending machine product storage shelf of the present invention, the left shelf wall 12, the back wall 15, and the right shelf wall 14 are integrally molded into the shape shown in FIG. Of course, only one mold is required and the manufacturing cost is low, and molding is easy and the manufacturing cost is also low.

Next, in order to assemble the integrally molded product as shown in FIG. 3 into the state shown in FIG. 4,
Just by bending the left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14 at right angles to the rear wall 15 through the bending grooves 18 and 19, they can be disposed to face each other, unlike the conventional method. This eliminates the effort required to accurately oppose the left shelf wall and the right shelf wall.

Furthermore, since the left shelf wall 12 and the right shelf wall 14 are connected by the rear wall 15, it is only necessary to connect and fix the front parts of these, and the fixing by the fixing member 16 is easy. It becomes easy to manufacture shelves.

In particular, when a synthetic resin product storage shelf manufactured using this manufacturing method is placed inside a vending machine, an inner box is not required, resulting in a very lightweight vending machine. It is.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a vending machine using the previously invented storage shelf, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a vending machine using the product storage shelf of this invention, and Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of this vending machine. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the first step in the manufacturing method of the product storage shelf of the invention, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the last step. In the drawing, 11 is the left passage, 12 is the left shelf wall, 13
14 is a right side passage, 15 is a rear wall, 16 is a fixing member, and 18 and 19 are bending grooves.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claims] 1.
