Vending machine

Abstract

A vending machine includes an enclosure, a bracket, and two hangers. Each of the two brackets includes two rods and a plurality of cross bars connecting the two rods. Mounting slots for the hangers are defined in each of the two rods. The mounting portions of the two hangers are secured to the enclosure and to the rods, and provide locational and structural support for the brackets simply by virtue of gravity, avoiding the need for screws in assembling and disassembling the bracket.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vending machine comprising:
 an enclosure;   a bracket, comprising two rods and a plurality of cross bars connecting the two rods, and a mounting slot defined in each of the two rods; and   two hangers secured to the enclosure, each of the two hangers comprising a mounting portion,   wherein each of the two mounting portions is engaged with each of the two mounting slots to hang the bracket to the enclosure.   
     
     
         2 . The vending machine of  claim 1 , further comprising a seal cover located in the enclosure to support the bracket. 
     
     
         3 . The vending machine of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure comprises an outer sidewall and an inner sidewall, and each of the two hangers is mounted to the inner sidewall. 
     
     
         4 . The vending machine of  claim 3 , wherein each of the two hangers comprises a securing portion, and two securing slots are defined in the inner sidewall of the enclosure corresponding to the two securing portions. 
     
     
         5 . The vending machine of  claim 1 , wherein a cross section of each of the two hangers is substantially in shape of reverse “S”. 
     
     
         6 . The vending machine of  claim 1 , wherein a cross section of each of the two securing portions is substantially L-shaped, and each of the two securing portions extends through each of the two mounting slots and hooks each of the two rods. 
     
     
         7 . The vending machine of  claim 1 , wherein each of the two hangers is made of metal sheet. 
     
     
         8 . The vending machine of  claim 1 , wherein the two rods are substantially parallel, and the plurality of cross bars is substantially perpendicular to the two rods. 
     
     
         9 . A vending machine comprising:
 an enclosure comprising two outer sidewalls and two inner sidewalls, and each of the two inner sidewalls attached to each of the two outer sidewalls;   two brackets, separated to each other, each of the two brackets comprising two rods and a plurality of cross bars connecting the two rods, and a mounting slot defined in each of the two rods; and   two hangers detachably secured to each of the two inner sidewalls, and each of the two hangers comprising a mounting portion,   wherein each of the two mounting portions is engaged with each of the two mounting slots to hang each of the two brackets to the enclosure.   
     
     
         10 . The vending machine of  claim 9 , further comprising a seal cover located between the two inner sidewalls to support the two brackets. 
     
     
         11 . The vending machine of  claim 10 , wherein each of the two hangers comprises a securing portion, and two securing slots are defined in each of the two inner sidewalls corresponding to the two securing portions. 
     
     
         12 . The vending machine of  claim 9 , wherein a cross section of each of the two hangers is substantially in shape of reverse “S”. 
     
     
         13 . The vending machine of  claim 9 , wherein a cross section of each of the two securing portions is substantially L-shaped, and each of the two securing portions extends through each of the two mounting slots and hooks each of the two rods. 
     
     
         14 . The vending machine of  claim 9 , wherein each of the two hangers is made of metal sheet. 
     
     
         15 . The vending machine of  claim 9 , wherein the two rods are substantially parallel, and the plurality of cross bars is substantially perpendicular to the two rods. 
     
     
         16 . The vending machine of  claim 9 , wherein the two inner sidewalls and the two outer sidewalls are substantially parallel. 
     
     
         17 . The vending machine of  claim 16 , wherein the two brackets are substantially symmetrical to each other.
