COMMODITY DISCHARGING DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE FOR BOX-SHAPED COMMODITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the thickness of an automatic vending machine by using a simple and compact structure of a commodity lifter which lifts up a box- shaped commodity discharged from a commodity store rack and carries it to a commodity take-out port and also reducing the depth of a box-shaped commodity discharging device. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a lateral conveyer belt 31 which is laid at the bottom part of an inside box of an automatic vending machine and receives a box-shaped commodity 1 discharged from a commodity store rack 2 in its erected posture (the depth dir'ection face of the commodity 1 turned down) to laterally carry the commodity 1, a longitudinal conveyer belt 32 having a finger which lifts up the commodity 1 and carries it to a commodity take-out port 4 in liaison with the belt 31 and a commodity posture guide mechanism 6 which is placed at a corner of a carrier path where the belt 31 is shifted to the belt 32. Then the widths of both belts 31 and 32 are reduced in response to the thickness of the commodity 1.
