1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a supporting apparatus for supporting a vending machine.
2. Description of Related Art
Vending machines are often equipped with a supporting apparatus to support devices and goods in the vending machine. Usually a vending machine stores a lot of devices and goods, the supporting apparatus should have a high strength to support a weight of a fully loaded vending machine. To reinforce the strength of the supporting apparatus, the supporting apparatus is manufactured to be heavy.
Therefore, there is room for improvement in art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
The supporting apparatus includes a frame 10 and four supporting assemblies 20.
The second pole 12 includes a second side piece 120, a second bottom piece 122 perpendicularly connected to a bottom edge of the second side piece 120, and a second top piece 124 perpendicularly connected to a top edge of the second side piece 120.
Each end of the connecting pole 13 can be received in the receiving space 116 of the first pole 11.
The supporting assembly 20 includes a supporting pillar 21 and two fasteners 25. The supporting pillar 21 includes a map portion 22 and a shaft portion 23 connected to the map portion 22. The shaft portion 23 includes a plurality of external screw threads 230. The fastener 25 defines a securing hole 250. The fastener 25 includes a plurality of inner screw threads 252 in the securing hole 250.
Referring to
In the above supporting apparatus, the screw structure is used to support the frame 10 and the vending machine, which is light and has enough strength to support the vending machine.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the present disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
