Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vending machine used for selling products such as canned coffee and soft drinks, and more specifically, an exterior body composed of optional parts having various functions is installed on the peripheral surface of the body. The present invention relates to a vending machine that can be arbitrarily attached according to the requirements of each location.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Vending machines installed outdoors or indoors have various functions according to the requirements of each location of the installation site, including purchase willingness and convenience for buyers, and the surrounding landscape and environment. In order to achieve harmony, the exterior structure of the fuselage has been developed with various innovations.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional vending machine, if the aircraft is individually developed according to the requirements of each location, it becomes a small quantity and a variety of products, which not only increases the development cost but also lowers the productivity.
[0004]
In addition, since the aircraft is designed in consideration of being installed in an unspecified number of locations, the requirements of each location cannot be precisely reflected in the aircraft.
[0005]
In addition, there is a conventional design in which the color of the aircraft itself is colored and painted so that it can be harmonized with the surrounding landscape and environment of the installation site, but it is simply a design change only in appearance. , It is scarce to satisfy the development themes that will increase purchasing motivation and convenience for buyers and have various functions.
[0006]
Further, conventionally, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-287332 previously filed and published by the present applicant, an exterior panel is attached to the front surface of the door body that closes the front opening of the cabinet body so as to be openable and closable. However, it is merely a configuration in which an exterior body having a specific function and form can be simply attached only to a specific part of the machine body, that is, the front surface of the door body.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and enables an exterior body made of optional parts having various functions to be arbitrarily attached to the entire peripheral surface of the body according to the requirements of each location of the installation location. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vending machine that can have a wide variety of functions, including purchase willingness and convenience for buyers.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a cabinet body that forms a commodity storage chamber, a door body that closes a front opening of the cabinet body so as to be openable and closable, and the door. It consists of an airframe having a basic form with an operation panel assembled on the front surface of the main body, and an exterior body having various functions can be attached to a peripheral surface of the airframe at a desired selection position. .
[0009]
The invention according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of attachment portions on which the respective exterior bodies can be selectively attached at arbitrary positions are provided on the peripheral surface of the airframe. It is characterized by.
[0010]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the second aspect of the present invention, the mounting portion is provided so as to be uniformly aligned.
[0011]
The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that each of the attachment portions is detachably concealed by a cover member.
[0012]
That is, according to the vending machine according to the present invention, the exterior body made up of standard parts or optional parts having various functions is separated at a desired selection position on the entire peripheral surface excluding the shaded surface of the airframe having the basic form. In order to be able to be physically installed, it is possible to selectively attach the exterior body to the aircraft at any position according to the requirements of each location of the installation site, including purchase intention and convenience for the purchaser. This makes it easy to diversify the variations of the fuselage, and to provide various functions in harmony with the surrounding landscape and environment.
