DEVICE FOR PREVENTING ERRONEOUS CHARGE OF GOODS IN AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To positively prevent the advance of cylindrical goods into a charging port when the goods advance in the erroneous longitudinal posture toward the charging port by accurately restricting the goods on the front side of the charging port while allowing the goods to smoothly advance into a column through the charging port when the goods advance in a regular oblong posture.;SOLUTION: This device is provided with a charging rail 5 extending from a goods supply part toward the charging port 4 of the column 1, and a rotating body 8 for preventing the erroneous charge of goods, provided at an upper part of the charging port 4 of the column 1. A locking part 13 is formed at the tip edge part of a second guide part 11 of the rotating body 8. When a small-diameter can A advances in a longitudinal attitude into the rotating body 8 and moves along the inner surface of the second guide part 11, the tip edge of the small-diameter can A is fitted and locked to the locking part 13 according to the motion. In this locked state, the small-diameter can A is restricted being clamped by the tip edge part of the charging rail 5 and the first and second guide parts 10, 11 of the rotating body 8.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
