SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vending machine which can reduce the trouble of adjusting a level adjusting bolt at the time of moving and can easily move and change directions. It is in.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is provided with a level adjusting bolt on the lower surface of the main body cabinet, the level adjusting bolt for abutting the head on the installation surface, and adjusting the level with the level adjusting bolt for installation. In the case of the main body cabinet, there is always a gap between the main body cabinet and a gap between the main body cabinet and the contact portion with the installation surface is shifted from the level adjustment bolt to the wheel when the main body cabinet is tilted backward. It is provided at the lower part of the back.
[0007]
When moving the vending machine according to the above configuration, by tilting the main body cabinet backward, the contact portion between the main body cabinet and the installation surface shifts from the level adjustment bolt to the caster, and the main body cabinet is put on the caster. Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of reducing the level adjustment bolt, and also, by returning the main body cabinet from the tilted state to the vertical state at the destination, the point of contact with the installation surface moves from the caster to the level adjustment bolt. If it is not necessary to adjust the level at that location, it is possible to save the trouble of adjusting the level adjustment bolt, and even if it is necessary to adjust the level, the trouble of adjusting the level adjustment bolt starts from the reduced state It is possible to reduce the number as compared with.
[0008]
Further, as in the invention according to claim 2, in the vending machine according to claim 1, a handle for facilitating the tilting of the main body cabinet on the upper rear surface of the main body cabinet and the movement of the main body cabinet with the casters after the tilting. Can be provided. With the above configuration, when the main body cabinet is tilted and moved, it can be operated with a handle, so that it is possible to easily tilt and move forward, stop, retreat, etc., and change direction. It is possible to prevent an accident in which the main body cabinet falls over by slipping and moving away from the cabinet.
[0009]
Further, as in the invention according to claim 3, in a vending machine provided with a level adjustment bolt for abutting a head on an installation surface on a lower surface of a main body cabinet and adjusting and leveling the level with the level adjustment bolt, A caster which is arranged close to a level adjustment bolt located on the back side of the main body cabinet, and which, when the level adjustment bolt is contracted, a wheel comes into contact with an installation surface to support the load of the main body cabinet and enable movement. In addition, a handle for facilitating the movement of the main body cabinet using the casters can be provided on the upper rear part of the main body cabinet.
[0010]
With the above configuration, the movement such as forward, stop, retreat, and direction change can be operated only at the handle, and the movement can be facilitated.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
1A and 1B show a configuration of a main part of an embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 1A is an external view of a vending machine viewed from behind, and FIG. 1B is a side view when the vending machine is installed on an installation surface. In FIG. 1, members denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the conventional example have approximately the same functions, and therefore, description thereof will be omitted. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body cabinet of a vending machine, 2 denotes a level adjusting bolt screwed to a lower surface of the main body cabinet 1 so that the horizontal level of the main body cabinet 1 can be adjusted, and 4 denotes a case where the main body cabinet 1 is tilted. The casters 5 transfer the load of the main body cabinet 1 from the level adjustment bolts 2 to the wheels and support and move the wheels. Reference numeral 5 denotes a handle provided on the upper rear surface of the main body cabinet 1.
[0012]
In the above configuration, when the vending machine is moved, the user holds the handle 5 provided on the upper rear surface of the main body cabinet 1 and pulls the main body cabinet 1 rearward to tilt the main body cabinet 1 so that the point of contact with the installation surface is level-adjusted. Then, the main cabinet 1 is supported by the casters 4 and the handle 5, and the handle 5 is pushed (or pulled) to move to the destination, and after positioning, the main cabinet 1 is returned to the vertical position. Then, the main body cabinet 1 is supported by the level adjusting bolts 2. After being placed on the installation surface of the moving destination, if necessary, the level of the main body cabinet 1 is adjusted by the level adjusting bolts 2.
[0013]
2A and 2B show a configuration of a main part of another embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 2A is a side view when installed on an installation surface, and FIG. 2B is a side view when moving in FIG. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body cabinet of a vending machine, 2 denotes a level adjusting bolt screwed to the lower surface of the main body cabinet 1 so that the horizontal level of the main body cabinet 1 can be adjusted, and 3 denotes a rear side of the main body cabinet 1. A caster 5 having wheels arranged close to the located level adjustment bolt 2 indicates a handle provided on the upper rear portion of the main body cabinet 1. In FIG. 2, the main body cabinet 1 of the vending machine is installed with its level adjusted on an installation surface by four level adjustment bolts 2 screwed to the lower surface. The level adjustment bolt 2 located on the side is retracted so that the casters 3 come into contact with the installation surface to support the load of the main body cabinet 1, and then push the handle 5 on the back of the main body cabinet 1 to move to the moving destination and position. After that, the level adjustment bolt 2 on the rear side is extended until the casters 3 are separated from the installation surface, and the horizontal movement of the main body cabinet 1 is adjusted to complete the movement.
