PRODUCT VENDING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To deal an article of relatively heavy weight. SOLUTION: Products are supported between the first substantially upright-extended wall and the second substantially upright wall opposed separately therefrom, and are layered each other in an accumulation chute 45. The first tongue 57 and the second tongue 59 separated vertical-downwards are provided in a lower portion of the chute 45. A product support surface is communicated with a discharge opening of the second wall, across a bottom part of the chute 45. The product is supported by the support surface and the first tongue 57 in the chute 45, and is provided by retracting the first tongue 57 to drop the lowermost product onto the second tongue 59. The first tongue 57 is advanced to come to an under side of the next uppermost product in the chute 45. The second tongue 59 is retracted, and the lowermost product drops onto the support surface to pass through the discharge opening 55. The remainder of product is then supported by the support surface and the first tongue 57. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
