Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a case for a vending machine that has a door at the front opening of the case body.

[Conventional technology]

A vending machine case generally consists of a case body with an open front and a door attached to the front of the case body and hinged on one side. The door is usually locked by a lock provided on the opposite side to the hinge (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-2775).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, vending machines are installed outdoors, etc.
They are often installed in environments that are conducive to mischief, and accidents have occurred where the doors are illegally forced open and stored goods and money are stolen. In that case, in conventional vending machine cases, the hinge of the door is exposed and visible from the outside due to its structure, so there are many cases of theft where the hinge is broken, for example by cutting the hinge pin with a hacksaw, and the door is opened from the hinge side. are doing.

Therefore, this idea was developed to suppress unauthorized opening of the door and increase the theft prevention effect by installing an anti-theft means inside the case so that even if the hinge is broken, the door cannot be opened immediately. The purpose is to provide a case.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention provides a case for a vending machine consisting of a case body with an open front and a door provided on the front side of the case body and hinged on one side. A lock plate is provided in which the locking surface on the tip side extends in the left-right direction within the case body when the door is closed, and the lock plate is provided in the case body so that the locking surface of the locking plate faces and overlaps the front side of the locking plate when the door is closed. An engagement plate located at the position is provided.

[Effect]

According to the vending machine case based on the above means, the locking surface of the locking plate provided on the door side enters into the case body when the door is closed and extends in the left and right direction, and the engaging plate provided on the main body case side The locking plate will get caught on the engaging plate and the door cannot be removed even if you try to open the door forward by breaking the hinge. Moreover, since both the lock plate and the engagement plate are inside the case and cannot be seen from the outside, it is almost impossible to destroy them.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a case of a vending machine. Reference numeral 2 denotes a case body with an open front surface, and 3 a door provided on the front side of the case body 2. The door 3 has hinge pins 4a on one side of the hinge 4, with pin holes formed at the upper and lower ends of the door fixed to the upper and lower ends of the case body 2, respectively.
It is supported by the case body 2 by being fitted into the case body 2. A locking device (not shown) is provided on the other side, and is configured to normally close and lock the front surface. A lock plate 6 is fixed to the side of the door 3 on the hinge side. This lock plate 6 protrudes toward the case body 2, and its tip is bent outward, that is, in the left-right direction, to form a hook-shaped lock surface. 7 is an engagement plate that is screwed to the side of the case body 2 on the hinge side and extends forward;
A lock hole 7a is provided into which the tip of the lock plate 6 fits when the lock plate 6 is closed. Further, the engagement plate 7 has a hook-shaped end bent outward, and the hook portion is provided so as to face and overlap the front of the locking surface of the locking plate 6. Furthermore, the locking plate 6 and the engaging plate 7 are hidden behind the front edge frame of the case body and cannot be seen from the outside.

In the above structure, the lock plate 6 moves in and out of the lock hole 7a as the door 3 is opened and closed, and the door 3 can be opened and closed without any trouble. When the door 3 is closed, the tip of the lock plate 6 is held in a state where it is fitted into the lock hole 7a, and the lock surface on the tip side of the lock plate 6 extends in the left-right direction to the rear of the hook portion of the engagement plate 7. They will face each other and overlap. Therefore, when an attempt is made to open the door 3 forward by cutting the hinge pin 4a, the lock plate 6 hits the engagement plate 7 and is locked in that position, making it impossible to pull out the door any further. Moreover, even in this state, both the lock plate 6 and the engagement plate 7 are inside the case, so it is almost impossible to destroy them.

Depending on the structure of the locking device (not shown) of the door 3, if the hinge 4 is destroyed, the door 3 may be able to move slightly to the left. Considering the locking plate 6 and the engaging plate 7
The design should be such that there is sufficient overlap between the two.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to this invention, in a vending machine case consisting of a case main body with an open front and a door provided on the front of the case main body and hinged at one side, the hinge of the door A lock plate is provided on the side of the case body, and the lock surface on the tip side extends in the left-right direction inside the case body when the door is closed. Since the engaging plates are provided so that they overlap and face each other in the front,
Even if the hinge is broken, the door cannot be opened immediately, thereby suppressing unauthorized opening of the door and providing a high theft prevention effect.
