Japanese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Vending Machine
Japanese term or phrase: 投入口
This word refers to the opening/s where you insert products when replenishing a vending machine. I made the mistake of referring to this as "dispensing outlet" because obviously, it's not for dispensing products. Any help will be appreciated. :)

Explanation:
When you said vending machine, I automatically thought of the drink vending units that you see everywhere in Japan that have feeder slots that are access by opening the front panel.
