Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (-1') Field of the Invention The present invention provides a cylindrical product in which a head having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the body is formed between a pair of vertically facing side plates. Store the items in a staggered manner in a horizontal position, and place the items at the bottom one by one.
Storage of products in vending machines that dispense items one by one (related to 11).

(b) Conventional technology and its problems Conventionally, the product storage shelves of such vending machines have been stocked with canned beverage products and bottled beverage products whose entire bodies have approximately the same diameter and whose heads have a small diameter. The cylindrical products such as these were stacked and stored in a staggered manner and sent out for sale.

However, in recent years, the shapes of small bottled beverage products have diversified, and we have come to see many round-shaped beverage products, such as bottled beverage products that are shaped like ■1 from the body to the head. . If these products are stacked and stored in a staggered manner between a pair of left and right side panels, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the products stored between left and right side panels (3) and (4) (10) is larger than the top (11) compared to the bottom (12).
) is thin, resulting in an unstable condition, and the head (11) of the product <10) stacked above is tilted downward, and the product <10> is placed behind the side plate (3) (/I>). This has the drawback that the product tends to fall between the rear plate (5) and the lower-order products (10), resulting in product jamming, which in turn causes failures in product delivery and sales by the product delivery device.

(c) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above points, the present invention has an object that can store cylindrical products in an orderly manner and ensure reliable delivery of the products, especially when the shape is narrow from the torso to the head. It provides product storage shelves for vending machines.

(d) Examples of the invention The present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.

Note that the same reference numerals as those in the conventional example indicate the same or similar items.

(1) is a product storage shelf, and a plurality of product storage shelves are arranged in parallel inside the vending machine main body (not shown). This product storage shelf (1) 1. A side plate (3) and a side plate (4) with a flange part (2) formed on the front part of the L to prevent the product (10) from falling off are superimposed in parallel. There is a rear board (5) at the rear of the
has been established. The rear plate (5) G;L has locking pieces (6) on the top and bottom of both left and right ends, and the locking pieces (6) are formed at the rear of the side plates (3) and (4), respectively. The support hole (8) has a plurality of locking portions (7) and is removably locked and supported. Therefore, the rear plate (5) has 11 pieces (
6).

It is movable back and forth depending on the locking position of the locking part (7) that locks it, and the distance from the flange part (2) can be changed according to the length of the product to be stored. Further, a recess (9) extending vertically is formed in the center of the rear plate (5), into which the head (11) of the product rack 10) is inserted and abutted. That is, by inserting and abutting the heads (11) of the products (10) stacked in a staggered manner between the side plates (3) and (4) into the recesses (9), the heads (11) are brought into contact with the side plates (3). )
Side plates (3) (
The products (10) between 4> are stored in a substantially horizontal state. In this way, the product storage shelf (1) has side panels (3) (
4) and a rear plate (5) which is supported so as to be movable back and forth between the side plates (3) and (4), and extends vertically to hold the product (10) in a horizontal position. A product storage room (13) is formed in which the products are stacked and stored in a staggered manner. Therefore, the product (10) to be stored in the product storage chamber (13) has its head (11) inserted into and in contact with the recess (9) of the rear plate (5), and its bottom (12) brought into contact with the side plate (3). ) or the flange portion (2) of the side plate (4) to prevent it from falling forward. (14) is a product delivery device installed at the bottom of the product storage shelf (1), which is connected to the product storage room (13).
Disconnect from the lowest product (10) and sequentially 111LI
=J", and is provided so as to protrude from the side plate (4) side toward the side plate (3).The product storage device The intervals between the chambers (13) are gradually narrowed, and the products (10) are arranged in - rows in the product storage chamber (13) formed between the product delivery device ff (14) and the side plate 3) facing it. Also, the product delivery device (14)
A recess (9) formed in the rear plate (5) extending nearby
) is placed close to the product delivery device (14) 7', and the product <10
) is configured such that the head (11) of the product (10) is close to the product delivery device (14), and the side surface of the body of the product (10) is close to the product delivery device (14).
4), and is configured to be located approximately parallel to the product delivery device (1).
4) to ensure sufficient locking of the product (10).

In addition, when storing and selling products 16) that are in a state of conflict, such as canned beverage products, the rear plate 5) is inverted as shown in Fig. 8, that is, the concave part (9) b<product kl'<Delivery room (
13) This is achieved by storing the product (16) by attaching the rear plate (5) upside down so that it extends inward as a convex portion.

(E) Effects of the Invention The present invention provides four parts that face the head of the product and that insert and abut the head of the product to guide it, extending vertically parallel to the stacking direction of the product. -I'' The head of the products stacked and stored in a crow-shaped manner is arranged close to the medium heat between the side panels, so the contact point between the products is from the bottom with a large diameter to the head. It is capable of moving in the direction to bring the products stacked in a staggered manner into a substantially horizontal state.Therefore, products can be delivered reliably without causing product jams in the product storage guide. It is.
