Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute commodity charging work on a lower position and to easily replenish commodities by moving a commodity storing unit to the lower part of an automatic vending machine(AVM) body by a driving mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A driving mechanism 20 for a commodity storing unit 10 corresponding to commodities to be replenished is driven by an operation part and the unit 10 is moved to the lower position of a commodity stock part 4. An inner door 6 is opened, the unit 10 is drawn out to the front part of the AVM body 1 and new commodities A are charged from the aperture part 10a of the unit 10 to complete the replenishment of the commodities A. Since the commodity replenishing position is arranged on the lower part of the body 1, the charging work of the commodities A is executed at the low position. Namely the commodity charging position can be lowered by moving the unit 10 to the low part of the body 1, so that commodity replenishing work can be extremely easily executed. Since the unit 10 is formed as a box shape opened at its upper face, many commodities can be charged at a time.
