PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a product rack storing products horizontally while a product falling posture is stabilized even when a product whose outer diameter becomes smaller toward a mouth, and a vending machine equipped with the product rack. SOLUTION: A movable flap 28 whose one end protrudes in a product path 24, and the other end is supported at a curved segment 25 side is configured so that the dimension projecting to the product path 24 side can be made equal to or shorter than a value calculated by subtracting the minimum outer diameter of the input product from the dimension between two guide rails 101. Thus, even when a product whose outer diameter is small is input, it is possible to improve the posture stability of the product, and to prevent the product path from getting clogged with the products. Therefore, it is possible to improve dispensing performance by eliminating any dispensing failure. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
