PURPOSE:To provide the structure of an intermediate door of an automatic vending machine which never causes any gap at a joint part of a door nor causes any distortion in a production process and has the satisfactory rigidity by producing the intermediate door with a frame-shaped body including a ceiling member, a bottom member and a side member. CONSTITUTION:A frame-shaped body 42 includes a ceiling member 38, a bottom member 39, and a pair of side members 40 which are fixed with each other by the screws. Then a center member 41 is fixed to the body 42 by a screw. In such a constitution, the sizes, the shapes, the materials, the thickness, etc., of the members 38-41. are properly set in accordance with each space in an automatic vending machine. Thus the internal stress of each component member of the body 42 is equalized by the load of an equipment 11 held by an intermediate door 37 even if the space is limited in the automatic vending machine storing the door 37. So that each member is never bent. Furthermore each member has the satisfactory strength so as to prevent the bend of the door 37. As a result, the door 37 is never bent by the load of various types of internal equipments 11.
