Further, when a force for moving the passage width setting member 18 forward acts on the product guide plate 17, the movement of the passage width setting member 18 is restricted by the slit 17c whose end is bent forward. That is, the end of the operation piece 18c bent forward is positioned below the front member of the slit 17c when the passage width setting member 18 is moved in the width direction of the insertion port passage 16, and therefore the product guide The members around the slit 17c of the plate 17 are not bent, so that the operation piece 18c is not detached from the slit 17c.

また、通路幅設定部材１８を投入口通路１６から取外す場合には、まず、操作片１８ｃを上方に押し上げながら通路幅設定部材１８を幅方向に移動させ、操作片１８ｃを着脱部１７ｄに移動させる。次に、通路幅設定部材１８の前端を上方に押し上げて連結部１８ａと商品案内板１７の筒部１７ａの連結を解除し、操作片１８ｃを着脱部１７ｄから抜くことにより、商品案内板１７から通路幅設定部材１８が取外される。   Further, when the passage width setting member 18 is removed from the inlet passage 16, first, the passage width setting member 18 is moved in the width direction while pushing up the operation piece 18c, and the operation piece 18c is moved to the attaching / detaching portion 17d. . Next, the front end of the passage width setting member 18 is pushed upward to release the connection between the connecting portion 18a and the cylindrical portion 17a of the product guide plate 17, and the operation piece 18c is removed from the attaching / detaching portion 17d. The passage width setting member 18 is removed.

このように、本実施形態の自動販売機の商品収納装置によれば、投入口通路１６の通路幅方向に延びるスリット１７ｃを商品案内板１７に設け、スリット１７ｃ内を投入口通路１６の通路幅方向に移動可能に設けられ、端部を商品投入口１５側に屈曲した操作片１８ｃを通路幅設定部材１８に設けたので、通路幅設定部材１８を投入口通路１６の通路幅方向に移動させるときに、操作片１８ｃによって商品案内板１７に対する通路幅設定部材１８の商品投入口１５側への移動を規制することができるとともに、商品案内板１７のスリット１７ｃの廻りの部材が撓むことによるスリット１７ｃからの操作片１８ｃの外れを防止することができ、商品案内板１７の板厚が小さい場合においても通路幅設定部材１８の引っ掛かりや脱落を防止することにより、投入口通路１６の通路幅の設定操作を容易に行うことが可能となる。   Thus, according to the product storage device of the vending machine of the present embodiment, the product guide plate 17 is provided with the slit 17c extending in the passage width direction of the input port passage 16, and the passage width of the input port passage 16 is within the slit 17c. Since the operation piece 18c which is provided so as to be movable in the direction and whose end is bent toward the product inlet 15 is provided in the passage width setting member 18, the passage width setting member 18 is moved in the passage width direction of the inlet passage 16. When the operation piece 18c can restrict the movement of the passage width setting member 18 toward the product insertion port 15 with respect to the product guide plate 17, the member around the slit 17c of the product guide plate 17 is bent. The operation piece 18c can be prevented from coming off from the slit 17c, and the passage width setting member 18 can be prevented from being caught or dropped even when the thickness of the product guide plate 17 is small. Accordingly, it is possible to easily perform the setting operation of the passage width of the inlet passageway 16.

また、通路幅設定部材１８の商品投入口１５側の端部を上方に移動させることにより、商品案内板１７の商品投入口１５側の筒部１７ａと連結部１８ａとの連結を解除可能に設けたので、商品収納装置１０から商品案内板１７を取外すことなく通路幅設定部材１８を取外すことができ、商品収納装置１０のメンテナンス性の向上を図ることが可能となる。   Further, by moving the end of the passage width setting member 18 on the product inlet 15 side upward, the connection between the cylindrical portion 17a on the product inlet 15 side of the product guide plate 17 and the connecting portion 18a can be released. Therefore, the passage width setting member 18 can be removed without removing the product guide plate 17 from the product storage device 10, and the maintainability of the product storage device 10 can be improved.
