Specifically, first, the reset prevention plate 21 is rotated upward from the vertical position to remove the recess 22 from the reset shaft 15.
is evacuated to enable upward movement of the reset shaft 15,
Then it was pulled up.

In this way, in the conventional example, the reset shaft 15 of the lock operation plate 13, etc. had to be lifted one by one and this was done for each product outlet door one by one, which was very troublesome and time consuming. It was something.

(C) Purpose of the invention The present invention replenishes the product, locks the product exit door in the closed state again, and returns to the original sales system, which is the so-called reset, which can be done all at once without having to do it for each product exit door. The purpose is to make it possible.

B) Structure of the invention The present invention is equipped with a reset slide lever that engages only the lowered lock operation plate and pulls them up all at once.It is convenient because it can be reset in a short time, and it is also easy to reset. I don't forget anything.
