DOOR FIXING DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC VENDING MACHINE

PURPOSE:To hold a door at a prescribed open angle only by an operation of opening the door by opening the door to a prescribed position, and automatically guiding the sliding pin of a connecting rod to the fixing part of a sliding groove in order to control the movement of the door. CONSTITUTION:A connecting part 61 is moved according as a door 2 is opened, a sliding pin 62 moves a guiding groove 51, and the sliding pin 62 is naturally guided to a fixing part 51b when it gets to a branching point. A connecting rod 6 whose sliding pin 62 is guided to the branching part 51b, is fixed at the position, and the door 2 is fixed at the open angle in a state in which the sliding pin 62 is moved to the fixing part 51b, that is, a prescribed half-opened state. When the sliding pin 62 is got back from the fixing part 51b to the straight line part of the guiding groove 51 by applying a power to the connecting rod 6, the door 2 is further rotated to an open direction and guided to a bending part 51a in an full-opened state, the connecting rod 6 is fixed at the position, and the door 2 is fixed in the full-opened state. Thus, the door can be fixed at the desired open angle by the simple operation.
