Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic vending machine for drinks containing cans, which can be added directly to the cans containing drinks by rolling them directly from a case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to refill a canned beverage vending machine with a canned beverage, the canned beverage was picked up and put into a replenishing port one by one.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the vending machine for canned beverages, it was necessary to replenish canned beverages one by one. Therefore, when the number is small, it does not take time, but when the number becomes large, I took several canned beverages and put them into the refilling mouth one by one, or several canned beverages and put them into the refilling mouth one by one. , It took time and effort to put it in. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the time and effort of taking a canned beverage from a canned beverage case, and to easily refill the canned beverage vending machine with the canned beverage. Is.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] It was thought that it would save time if the canned beverage could be directly rolled from the canned beverage case and placed in the canned beverage vending machine. The present invention is as follows, from the width of the canned beverage case, the tip becomes narrower, triangular, polygonal, fan-shaped plate or the like, or a rod-shaped one is assembled into a plate-shaped, The can spill prevention (1), (1) is formed, and a plate or a can-inducing member (2) formed by assembling a rod-shaped member into a plate is required between the can spill prevention (1) and (1). It is located at the position, but when the canned beverage case is tilted horizontally, it may be mounted horizontally without a step with the bottom surface, or may be mounted below the bottom surface. It is attached to a plate, a frame assembled with a rod-like object, or an attaching member (3) for attaching to a canned beverage case.

Further, it is possible to integrally form the can spill prevention (1), (1) can guide member (2) and mounting member (3) in the form of a plate or a rod.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Opening the upper lid of a canned beverage case,
The vending machine canned beverage replenisher is attached to the canned beverage case by covering the mounting member (3) from above. Since the mounting member (3) is intended to fix the spill prevention (1) and (1) and the can guiding member (2) to the canned beverage case, various shapes and methods can be considered. With the upper lid of the canned beverage case with the canned beverage replenisher attached, turn up with both hands and place the tip of the can guide member (2) on the bottom of the refill port of the canned beverage vending machine. ,
Draw a circle around the tip of the canister (2),
If you lift the bottom of the canned beverage case and exceed about 45 degrees,
The center of gravity of canned drinks has been facing the bottom of the case until now, but it is facing the opening and the lid is open, so the canned drinks can collapse while overlapping, preventing can spillage (1) ,
Roll out between (1). The canned beverage rolls along the can bottom spill prevention (1) and (1) along with the can bottom and lid, and the can bottom spill prevention (1) and (1) functions as a guide and rolls in a certain direction. The canned beverages that rolled out while overlapping,
While rolling the can guiding member (2), it rolls in a line and rolls into the refilling port from the tip of the can guiding member (2). The canned beverage that did not enter the vending machine,
Gently lower the canned beverage case and it will roll back into the canned beverage case.

【Example】

First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a first embodiment. The can spill prevention (1) and (1) are formed of plates, and a can guide member (2) formed of a plate is attached to the lower part between them. A plate having such a shape and size that it can be placed on a canned beverage case and attached thereto is attached to the framed attachment member (3).
Further, a plate corresponding to the thickness of the corrugated cardboard of the canned beverage case is formed inside the canned spill prevention (1) and (1), and when the plate is attached to the tip, the rolling direction of the canned beverage is further stabilized. In addition, at the tip of the can guiding member (2),
Attaching a hook for hooking the replenishment port allows more stable replenishment. Further, the can spill prevention (1), (1) can guiding member (2) mounting member (3) may be formed by bending one plate.

Second Embodiment FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment. In the first embodiment, it is formed of a plate, but in the second embodiment, the can spill prevention (1), (1), the can guiding member (2), the mounting member (3), and the rod-shaped object are framed. I am making it. The material of the second embodiment can be made lighter by using less material.

Third Embodiment FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment. In the examples 1 and 2, the canned beverage could not be used when the size thereof changed, but in the example 3, the mounting members were the right upper surface and the right side surface, the upper left surface and the left side surface, and the right bottom surface. Mounting members (3), (3), (3), and (3) are made separately on the right side surface, the left bottom surface, and the left side surface, and the projection (4) is provided on each surface and the slit (5) is opened. A plate (6) is attached to each of the protrusions (4) and a retainer (7) is attached to the protrusions (4). Further, the can guiding members (2) and (2) are separately manufactured and attached to the can spill prevention (1) and (1). In the third embodiment, the protrusion (4) moves in the slit (5), so that the mounting members (3), (3), (3),
The size of (3) can be easily changed according to the canned beverage case.

[0010]
