Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide throwing-out device for automatic vending machine, with which a carry-out trouble of commodities can be prevented while eliminating sitting work on the outlet side of passage without lowering the efficiency of commodity storage inside a storage cabinet and not only cans but also PET bottles can be stored. SOLUTION: A fixed member is provided with two holding plates 18 and 19 and further, each of holding plates is provided with detecting members 50 and 51. The detecting members 50 and 51 can be oscillated with a shaft 52 as the center and a free end side is protruded on the side of an ejector 7 (the other wall side) ordinarily as shown in Figure 2. A lock piece 21 is provided on the back of the detecting members 50 and 51. A commodity 3 abuts on the upper holding plate 18 and the upper holding plate 18 is moved horizontally in a direction for spreading the width of the commodity passage with pressure. When the commodity 3 further falls, the commodity 3 passes the upper part of the upper holding plate 18 and presses the detecting member 50. Then, a restrict link 33 is rotated to the side of a fixed member 25 with a fixed rotary shaft 35 as the center until a restrict pawl 36 is made to abut from the upside of the lock piece 21, and the commodity passage width is set by restriction at the position of the upper holding plate 18.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intermediate size vending machine suitable for installing in an office or the like. SOLUTION: A partitioning wall 3, an inclined article-mounting rack 5, an elevation table 6, a sloped member 7 and the like are arranged inside a box 2 in this vending machine. When an article 85 is stored, an opening and closing door 11 provided in a front face is opened, the article-mounting table 5 is pulled out to this side, and the articles are arranged thereafter. When the article is purchased, the elevation table 6 is operated to move an engaging piece 75, up to a portion mounted with the desired article. The engaging piece 75 is made to project from the inside of an elevation member 61 toward the article mounting table 5 side, an operation piece 53 is pushed to thereby change the attitude of a flapper 40. The article 85 is mounted on the top panel of the elevation member 61 to be elevated, the article 85 is dropped from an opening part 28 to the cavity chamber 25 side, and is moved slidedly to the front face side along a slope on the sloped member 7 to reach to an article taking-out port 22 in the front face.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the number of articles which are stored from decreasing without forming a free space wherein an article can not be charged even when a top tray is set for small-diameter articles. SOLUTION: When the top tray 6 is switched in position from large-diameter articles to small-diameter articles, the top tray 6 moves backward by a prescribed operation stroke, but the operation strokes of a throw-in slot width restriction member b25 and a subordinate top tray 26 are much smaller than the operation stroke of the top tray 6, so only slight backward movement from the position when the storage of the large-diameter articles is set is needed, so a free space wherein an article is not charged is not generated and the number of articles which are stored is prevented from decreasing.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute an article conveyance device so that the depth of a vending machine main body is irrelevant to the depth of a taking-out opening by moving up and down a receiving pan where an article is mounted along a guide rail together with a bracket, and discharging the article to a taking-out opening at the lower part. SOLUTION: When the payout means of an article carrying-out device 3 where a selected article G is mounted and supported operates and only one article G is paid out, a shutter opening and closing device 30 opens a door at the same time. The paid-out article G is mounted on the article receiving pan 19, and when the article receiving pan 19 nearly reaches the lowest stop position, a roller B21 follows up a part which is almost in a Z shape when viewed from the flank of the guide rail B22, and then the article receiving pan 19 rotates downward around a rotary shaft 8 as the center of rotation by >=90 deg. through an arm 20 and when a push piece 24 pushes in the actuator 27 of a stop detecting device 26 backward, the article receiving pan 19 stops at the lowest stop position. As the article receiving pan 19 rotates downward, the article G mounted on the article receiving pan 19 slides down and is passed through an opening part 29 and carried out to the taking-out opening 31.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it easy to take out an article without lowering the storage efficiency by employing a carrying-out method by natural falling for articles stored at the upper part in a storage chamber and a carrying-out method which uses an elevation bucket for articles which are stored at the lower part. SOLUTION: An article which is paid out, from an article storage chamber 4 above an article slid plate 15 with a vending command falls in an article carry-out passage 14 and is guided from inside the carry-out passage 14 to an opposite article taking-out opening 3 along the frontward downward slope of the slide plate 15. An article 5 which is paid out from a storage chamber 4 below the slide plate 15, on the other hand, falls in the carry-out passage 14 and enters the article elevation bucket 10 which stands by below. Then, the elevation bucket 10 is elevated in the carry-out passage 14 while holding the article 5. As the elevation bucket 10 is elevated, the slide path 15 retracts and then the elevation bucket 10 moves up to the height where the slide path 15 was present and it faces the article taking-out opening 3 and sends out the article to the taking-out opening 3. Consequently, it is made easy to take out the article without increasing the size of a vending machine main body 1.
