しているのが現状である。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In recent years, vending machines for soft drinks and the like have rapidly become popular in our country. For the sale of products through vending machines, a manufacturer or wholesaler of products such as beverages develops a vending machine, sells or lends the vending machine to a user, and then sells the product using the vending machine. Alternatively, wholesalers have a system in place to sell their products to users, and manufacturers in particular develop vending machines that allow them to sell their products in larger quantities, safely, and at lower costs, making efforts to improve them over and over again. Currently, they are selling or lending these to users at low prices for their own product sales.
また有名ブランド商品にあつては、そのブラン

売機にもそのブランドを表示し、自己の商品販売
を消費者にアピールせんとしている。 In addition, in the case of famous brand products, the brand itself has built up trust and has the power to attract customers, and the manufacturers of the brand products also display the brand on vending machines and sell their products to consumers. I'm trying to appeal to people.

現象が生じる。 Under these circumstances, if a famous brand product manufacturer develops and manufactures products and sells products manufactured by other companies using vending machines displaying that brand, it is considered a violation of the so-called reputation of the famous brand and the use of vending machine development technology. "Free rider"
A phenomenon occurs.

という問題があつた。 However, in conventional vending machines, the product samples in the display shelves are only held in place by the holding springs as mentioned above, so they can be easily replaced, and the branding on the exterior of the vending machine can be easily replaced. It is possible to sell products in exchange for product samples from different manufacturers, which poses the problem of the above-mentioned "free rider" easily occurring.

ことができる。(Function) This vending machine can open the circuit by replacing the sales product sample on the display shelf with a product that does not have conductive material in the circuit, or can open the circuit by removing one circuit component from the circuit and replacing it with another part. When a conductive material is made conductive or a conductive material with a different resistance value is connected to that part, the overall resistance value changes, and if this value falls outside a predetermined range, it is detected by the discrimination circuit and output. With this, for example, it is possible to prevent a vending machine from performing a predetermined function.
