The product outlet 51 c is an opening for taking out a newspaper, and is formed so as to penetrate the frame portion 51 a and the convex portion 51 b of the decorative frame 51, that is, the decorative frame 51. The product outlet 51c is formed in a rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and its opening width is formed to be substantially the same as the length in the longitudinal direction of the newspaper so that the newspaper can pass through.

図4に示すように、商品取出口51cは、奥方が低く手前側が高くなるように形成した階段状の天井面51c1を有しており、その境界部分には、新聞の取出方向と交差するように、下方に突出した凸条51c2が形成してある。凸条51c2は、外扉2を伝った雨水などの伝い水を滴下させるためのもので、天井面51c1の最下位置となるように形成してある。   As shown in FIG. 4, the product take-out port 51c has a stepped ceiling surface 51c1 formed so that the depth is low and the front side is high, and the boundary portion intersects the newspaper take-out direction. In addition, a protruding line 51c2 protruding downward is formed. The ridges 51c2 are for dripping water such as rainwater that has traveled through the outer door 2, and are formed to be at the lowest position of the ceiling surface 51c1.

また、図4に示すように、商品取出口51cは、曲面51c3と平面51c4とが連設された底面を有している。曲面51c3は、新聞の先端をスムーズに導くためのもので、奥方から手前側(平面端部)に向けて漸次高くなるように形成してある。平面51c4は、水切り性の向上を意図したもので、奥方(曲面端部)から手前側に向けて漸次低くなるように、傾斜している。   As shown in FIG. 4, the product outlet 51c has a bottom surface in which a curved surface 51c3 and a flat surface 51c4 are connected. The curved surface 51c3 is for guiding the front end of the newspaper smoothly, and is formed so as to gradually increase from the back toward the near side (plane end). The flat surface 51c4 is intended to improve drainage, and is inclined so as to gradually become lower from the back (curved surface end) toward the near side.

また、図4に示すように、商品取出口51cの奥方上方部には、フラッパ52が支承してある。フラッパ52は、奥方から手前側に向けて漸次低くなるように傾斜した状態で商品取出口51cを閉塞するもので、フラッパ52が商品取出口51cを閉塞した状態で、フラッパ52の手前側端部が化粧枠51の凸部51bから突出するようになっている。フラッパ52は、透明な合成樹脂の板状体で構成してある。図4及び図5に示すように、フラッパ52は、後縁部が厚く形成してあり、図5に示すように、両端に側縁から突出する軸部52aが形成してある。両端に形成した軸部52aは、商品取出口51cの奥方上方部にフラッパ52が支承されるように、商品取出口51cの側面にそれぞれ設けた軸受部(図示せず)にそれぞれ支承されている。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the flapper 52 is supported in the back upper part of the goods take-out port 51c. The flapper 52 closes the product outlet 51c while being inclined so as to gradually become lower from the back toward the front side. The flapper 52 closes the product outlet 51c, while the flapper 52 closes the product outlet 51c. Protrudes from the convex portion 51 b of the decorative frame 51. The flapper 52 is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the flapper 52 has a thick trailing edge, and as shown in FIG. 5, shafts 52a projecting from the side edges are formed at both ends. The shaft portions 52a formed at both ends are supported by bearings (not shown) provided on the side surfaces of the product outlet 51c so that the flapper 52 is supported at the rear upper part of the product outlet 51c. .

また、図4及び図5に示すように、フラッパ52は、幅方向中央部となる後縁部に凹部52bを有している。凹部52bは、フラッパ52を支えるためのもので、断面視半円筒形に形成してある。図4に示すように、フラッパ52は、一端53aが凹部52bに収容され、他端53bが化粧枠51に取り付けられた支持金具53によって支持されている。支持金具53は、板状体をLの字状に折り曲げることにより、形成したもので、図6に示すように、他端53bは、ねじ54によって化粧枠51に取り付けられている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the flapper 52 has a recess 52 b at the rear edge that is the central portion in the width direction. The recess 52b is for supporting the flapper 52, and is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape in cross section. As shown in FIG. 4, the flapper 52 has one end 53 a accommodated in the recess 52 b and the other end 53 b supported by a support metal fitting 53 attached to the decorative frame 51. The support fitting 53 is formed by bending a plate-like body into an L shape, and the other end 53 b is attached to the decorative frame 51 with a screw 54 as shown in FIG. 6.

上述した自動販売機の商品取出口装置5は、販売待機時に、図4に示すように、フラッパ52が奥方から手前側に傾斜した状態で商品取出口51cを閉塞している。そして、硬貨投入口22等から対価が収受され、新聞が選択されると、自動販売機は、選択された新聞が収納されている新聞収納ラック3に販売指令が出力され、新聞収納ラック3は、新聞を繰り出し、搬出する。   As shown in FIG. 4, the above-described product outlet device 5 of the vending machine closes the product outlet 51 c in a state where the flapper 52 is inclined from the back to the front side as shown in FIG. 4. When the consideration is received from the coin insertion slot 22 or the like and a newspaper is selected, the vending machine outputs a sales command to the newspaper storage rack 3 in which the selected newspaper is stored. , Pay out newspapers and carry them out.

新聞収納ラック3から搬出された新聞は、自動販売機の商品取出口装置5において、フラッパ52を押し開け、商品取出口51cから商品の一部が現れる。この状態になると、新聞は利用者によって取り出し可能である。ここで、利用者が新聞を取り出すと、フラッパ52は自重によって商品取出口51cを閉塞し、待機状態となる。   The newspaper carried out from the newspaper storage rack 3 pushes open the flapper 52 in the product outlet device 5 of the vending machine, and a part of the product appears from the product outlet 51c. In this state, the newspaper can be taken out by the user. Here, when the user takes out the newspaper, the flapper 52 closes the product outlet 51c by its own weight and enters a standby state.

上述した自動販売機の商品取出口装置5によれば、商品取出口51cが形成された化粧枠51と、商品取出口51cの奥方上方部に支承され、奥方から手前側に向けて漸次低くなるように傾斜した状態で商品取出口51cを閉塞するフラッパ52とを備えたので、商品取出口51cからの雨水の浸入を阻止し、販売する新聞が水に濡れる事態を回避できる。   According to the product outlet device 5 of the vending machine described above, the decorative frame 51 in which the product outlet 51c is formed and the rear of the product outlet 51c are supported on the back and gradually lower from the back toward the front. Since the flapper 52 that closes the product outlet 51c in the inclined state is provided, the intrusion of rainwater from the product outlet 51c can be prevented, and the situation where the newspaper to be sold gets wet can be avoided.

また、商品取出口51cの天井面51c1に商品の取出方向と交差するように下方に突出した凸条51c2を形成したので、自動販売機の前面から伝った水が凸条51c2において滴下され、商品取出口51cからの雨水の浸入を阻止し、販売する新聞が水に濡れる事態を回避できる。   Moreover, since the protruding item | line 51c2 which protruded below is formed in the ceiling surface 51c1 of the goods outlet 51c so that it may intersect with the taking-out direction of goods, the water transmitted from the front of the vending machine is dripped in the protruding item | line 51c2, It is possible to prevent rainwater from entering from the take-out port 51c, and avoid a situation in which a newspaper to be sold gets wet.

さらに、フラッパ52が、幅方向中央となる後縁部に凹部52bを有し、一端53aが凹部52bに収容され、他端53bが化粧枠51に取り付けられた支持金具53によって支持されているので、商品取出口51cの幅が広い場合であっても、フラッパ52の幅方向中央の撓みを抑制できる。   Further, since the flapper 52 has a recess 52 b at the rear edge portion which is the center in the width direction, one end 53 a is accommodated in the recess 52 b, and the other end 53 b is supported by a support fitting 53 attached to the decorative frame 51. Even if the width of the product outlet 51c is wide, it is possible to suppress the bending of the flapper 52 in the center in the width direction.

ところで、上述した自動販売機の商品取出口装置5において、化粧枠51に形成した商品取出口51cの階段状の天井面51c1の境界部分に凸条51c2を設けるものとしたが、図7に示すように、天井面151c1を平面とし、任意の位置(例えば、図7に示すように、化粧枠の前面に沿う位置)に凸条151c2を設けてもよい。   By the way, in the commodity outlet device 5 of the vending machine described above, the protrusions 51c2 are provided at the boundary portion of the stepped ceiling surface 51c1 of the commodity outlet 51c formed in the decorative frame 51, as shown in FIG. As described above, the ceiling surface 151c1 may be a flat surface, and the protrusion 151c2 may be provided at an arbitrary position (for example, a position along the front surface of the decorative frame as shown in FIG. 7).

また、上述した自動販売機の商品取出口装置5において、フラッパ52が商品取出口51cを閉塞した状態で、フラッパ52の手前側端部が化粧枠51の凸部51bから突出するようにしたが、図7に示すように、フラッパ152が商品取出口151cを閉塞した状態で、フラッパ152の手前側端部が化粧枠151の内部に収められるようにしてもよい。この場合に、商品取出口151cの底面は、図7に示すように、フラッパ152を閉塞した状態でフラッパ152と当接する当接面151c5と、当接面151c5の手前側に連設され、当接面151c5よりも傾斜が緩やかな保護面151c6とを有することが好ましい。当接面151c5の手前側に当接面151c5よりも傾斜が緩やかな保護面151c6を有すれば、フラッパ152が閉塞した状態でフラッパ152の前縁部に指が掛かりにくくなり、いたずら等の被害を受けにくくなる。   In addition, in the product outlet device 5 of the vending machine described above, the front end of the flapper 52 protrudes from the convex portion 51b of the decorative frame 51 with the flapper 52 closing the product outlet 51c. As shown in FIG. 7, the front end of the flapper 152 may be housed inside the decorative frame 151 in a state where the flapper 152 closes the commodity outlet 151 c. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the bottom surface of the product outlet 151c is connected to the abutment surface 151c5 that abuts against the flapper 152 with the flapper 152 closed, and the front side of the abutment surface 151c5. It is preferable to have a protective surface 151c6 whose inclination is gentler than that of the contact surface 151c5. If the front surface of the contact surface 151c5 is provided with a protective surface 151c6 whose inclination is gentler than that of the contact surface 151c5, it becomes difficult for a finger to get caught on the front edge of the flapper 152 in a state where the flapper 152 is closed, and damage such as mischief is caused. It becomes difficult to receive.
