The number 00 is displayed, and when two are removed, it is 1000
Number is 1500 when one more is taken out after that
Is displayed like a number.

The operation panel H is provided with a beverage display section (lamp) M for displaying whether or not each of the nine container compartments E contains the beverage container 3. The beverage display unit M is turned on when the beverage cooling device A stores the beverage-containing container 3 and is turned off when the beverage cooling device A is empty.

[0043]

[Example of Use of Beverage Cooling Device] When the container 3 containing the beverage is placed in the container container E of the beverage cooling device A, the open / close button J of the operation panel H of FIG. 7 is pressed to open the opening / closing door F of FIG. It is rotated upward and left open (open), and in that state, the beverage-containing containers 3 are inserted one by one into the respective container insertion portions E. When the insertion is completed, the open / close button J is pressed to close the opening / closing door F. At this time, all the lamps of the beverage display section M are turned off.

When the passenger desires to purchase the beverage, the driver pushes the door open button I of the operation panel H shown in FIG. As a result, the opening / closing door F opens, and automatically closes after a predetermined time has elapsed. While the opening / closing door F is open, the passenger pulls out the beverage container 3 from the container container E. At this time, the number of extracted pieces × the amount of money per one is additionally displayed on the charge display portion L of the operation panel H. Further, the lamp of the beverage display portion M at a position corresponding to the container container E from which the beverage container 3 has been removed turns off, and it can be confirmed that the beverage container 3 has been extracted.

When the driver pushes the reset button K on the operation panel H after the passenger has paid the beverage fee, the fee displayed on the fee display section L is erased and reset.
