CA 2175281

The invention provides a modular pedestal for a bank of vending machines, comprising a plurality of pedestal modules onto which each vending machine is mounted. Each pedestal module has a plurality of connecting posts disposed adjacent to edges of the top face at selected positions, so that when pedestal modules are placed side-by-side at least one post on the pedestal module is adjacent to at least one post on an adjacent pedestal module. A connecting member, havinga plurality of openings spaced apart a distance approximating the spacing between adjacent posts of the adjacent pedestal modules, is placed over the adjacent connecting posts to connect the modules together, and retained in position by the base of the vending machine. In a preferred embodiment the sides of the pedestalmodules converge slightly toward the top and the openings in the connecting elements are slightly larger than the posts, allowing adjacent pedestal modules to shift relative to one another and thus to accommodate an uneven floor surface.

L'invention a trait à un support modulaire pour une rangée de distributrices, comportant plusieurs modules sur lesquels chaque distributrice est montée. Chaque module comporte plusieurs poteaux de liaison adjacents aux bordures de la face supérieure dans des positions prédéterminées, de sorte que lorsque les modules du support sont placés côte à côte, au moins un poteau du module est adjacent à au moins un poteau d'un module adjacent. Un élément de liaison comportant plusieurs ouvertures, dont l'espacement correspond approximativement à l'espacement entre les poteaux adjacents des modules de support adjacents, est placé au-dessus des poteaux de liaison adjacents pour relier les modules les uns aux autres, et est maintenu en position par la base de la distributrice. Dans une application préférée, les côtés des modules du support convergent légèrement vers le haut, et les ouvertures pratiquées dans les éléments de liaison sont légèrement plus grandes que celles des poteaux, ce qui permet de déplacer les modules de support adjacents l'un par rapport à l'autre de manière à pouvoir les installer sur une surface irrégulière.
