ILLUMINATION STRUCTURE FOR AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the need for a light source for illuminating a coin deposit slot and to reduce the load of a maintenance management job and to reduce power consumption by installing a screen board formed with a material having translucency around the coin deposit slot and installing a reflection member introducing the light of a light source to the screen board. SOLUTION: A tabular reflection board 25 is positioned at the back side of the translucent part 8 of a product display panel 6 and below one end part of a fluorescent lamp 24 and it is fitted to a door 3 inclined by an angleαto a horizontal plane via a bracket. In this reflection board both side parts 25a which are bent/formed inward in an almost right angle are formed at both side ends and upper/lower parts 25b and 25c which are bent inward in an obtuse angle at upper/lower ends are formed. Incident light 26a from the fluorescent lamp 24 is reflected by the reflection board 25 and reflected light 26b is introduced to the translucent part 9 of the product display panel 6. Thus, the translucent part 9 is illuminated and the periphery of the coin deposit slot port and a coin return lever is illuminated.
