制するアームを扉と本体間に渡って取り付けている。The front door is rotatably supported on one side by a main body, and is used to open the front door when replenishing products or performing maintenance. When the front door is turned, the operation becomes difficult and dangerous. For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 1-150782 (E05C17 / 28), an arm for controlling the rotation of the door is referred to as a door. Installed across the body.

うにしていた。In this publication, one end of the arm is rotatably supported by the door, and the other end is slidably engaged with a guide groove formed in a groove frame attached to the main body. ing. A plurality of holes are formed at predetermined intervals in the guide groove, and another groove frame is constantly pressed against the other end of the arm by a spring, and the other end of the arm (the cylindrical portion) is placed in any of the holes. ), The door can be stopped at a plurality of rotation angles according to the installation state of the vending machine.

うになり、危険なものとなるため、バネ力の調整が難し
くなる。However, in such a configuration, since the other end of the arm is always pressed by the two groove frames, if the spring force is too strong, the arm cannot be moved smoothly, so that the opening and closing of the door is not possible. If the spring force is low and the spring force is weak, the other end of the arm can easily come off from the hole, which is dangerous, and it is difficult to adjust the spring force.

In a vending machine having a door rotatably supported on one side of the main body and covering a front opening of the main body, an arm member rotatably supported at one end of the door is provided on the door, and the main body is provided on the main body. A base plate member is provided, and a groove is formed in the base plate member so that the other end of the arm member pivotally and movably engages in the longitudinal direction thereof. A plurality of locking portions are formed at a predetermined interval and have a dimension that allows the other end of the arm member to enter, and a base plate member is formed corresponding to any of these locking portions. A biasing member is provided that is detachably provided and presses the other end of the arm member into the corresponding locking portion. With the biasing member attached, the door is automatically rotated at the target rotation angle only by rotating the door. The other end of the arm member is locked enters the locking portion, the door is to rest.

Since the biasing member presses the other end of the arm member into the locking portion from the main body side, when the door is opened and the other end of the arm member reaches the biasing member, the other end of the arm member is biased by the biasing member. To rotate around the center of rotation of the arm member, and smoothly move into the locking portion. Also, when removing the other end of the arm member from the locking portion when closing the door, simply press the arm member against the main body side against the urging force of the urging member, the other end of the arm member is locked. You will be separated from your department.

る。As described above in detail, according to the present invention, there is provided an automatic vending machine having a main body for accommodating goods and a door rotatably supported on one side by the main body and covering a front opening of the main body. In the machine, an arm member pivotally supported at one end is provided on the door, a base plate member is provided on the main body, and the other end of the arm member is turned on the base plate member over its longitudinal direction. And a plurality of grooves which are movably engaged with each other, are continuously branched from the grooves, are formed at a predetermined interval from each other, and have a dimension at which the other end of the arm member can enter. Since an engaging portion is formed, and an urging member which is provided detachably on the base plate member corresponding to any of these engaging portions and presses the other end of the arm member into the corresponding engaging portion is provided. A biasing member must be attached and placed in advance corresponding to a predetermined locking portion where the door has a target rotation angle. More at only operation of rotating the door, the other end of the arm member is locked enters the locking portion at the turning angle of the automatic target, the door is to rest.
