AQUA VENDING MACHINE CASING Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G07F13/00 

FIELD: aqua vending machines.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aqua vending machines, i.e. to automatic water selling machines through automatically controlled water pouring from a common tank to the water buyer’s receptacle (container). The technical problem is the need to expand the range of aquavending devices, characterized by an increased level of their casing protection against vandalism. The body of the aquavending device is a hollow vertically elongated rectangular parallelepiped. Front panel 1 of the casing is made in the form of a door. The casing contains Support frame 7, which is a flat geometrically unchangeable stem system, including four elements (Items 8-11), which are the stems of this frame. Distance A between Side elements 9 and 10 of Support frame 7, taken along the outer contour of this frame, is less than Distance B between the planes of Side panels 3 and 4 of the casing. Distance C between Front 8 and Rear 11 elements of Support frame 7, taken along the outer contour of this frame, is less than Distance D between the plane of the closed door of Front panel 1 of the casing and the plane of Rear panel 5 of the casing. These conditions (A<B and C<D) provide a "suspension" of Weld 14 relative to the base plate, so that rain water flowing over a vertical panels of the casing (i.e., Panels 1, 3, 4, 5) down to specified Welds 14, is not retained on these welding joints that significantly slows down the process of the those seams’ rusting.

EFFECT: specified purpose realization by means of concealed mounting of the casing on the foundation plate, hidden location of the communication means, minimized negative impact of precipitation on the bottom welding seams that are, distanced from the edge of the foundation plate.
