Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a product sales registration device used as a PO8 terminal having a built-in product sales reading device.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. That is, a drawer 2 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1, and a display section 3 is provided at the rear of the top of the casing 1. In the center of the housing 1, a reading window 5 of a product data reading device 4 and a keyboard 6 are provided on the right side, and a receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side.

Further, a receipt issuing port 9 for issuing the receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer is arranged on the front side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional devices, the floor projected area of the drawer 2 and the floor projected area of the casing 1 are approximately the same. protrudes slightly forward. This makes it easier to perform operations such as raising the internal banknote holder when the drawer 2 is opened.

However, since the operator must be in a position where only the protruding portion of the drawer of the drawer 2 is retreated, the operator must reach out from a distance to use the reading window 5 and the keyboard 6 formed in the housing 1. First, there is the problem of poor workability. Of course, when the drawer 2 is not opened, the user can approach the housing 1, but the user must change the position of his or her body each time the drawer 2 is opened, making it impossible to perform stable work.

Means for Solving the Problem In a product sales registration device that has a housing that has a built-in barcode scanner in the upper part of the drawer and a reading window and a keyboard on the upper surface, a lower surface is mounted on the front of the housing. has a concave surface to form a protrusion that protrudes toward the front side.

Even when the working drawer is opened, the amount of drawer protrusion from the tip of the protruding part of the case is small, so the operator can always work while standing close to the case, which makes it easy to access the reading window and keyboard. It is easy to use, and since the lower surface of the protrusion has a concave surface, there is enough space at the top of the open drawer to operate the bill holder, making it easy to put in and take out bills. It has no effect on operation at all.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 and 2. First, a drawer 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10. The drawer 11 has a drawer 15 that can be freely taken out and put in and out, and includes a bill storage section 13 in which a bill presser 12 is provided and a coin storage section 14 . Next, the housing 10 has a substantially planar upper surface 16, and the drawer 11 is disposed on the front side thereof.
A protrusion 17 is formed that protrudes further forward. A concave surface 18 is formed at the bottom of the protrusion 17 to form a large space above the drawer 11.

Next, a product data reading device 19 having a built-in barcode scanner is disposed in the upper center of the housing 10, and a reading window 20 of this product data reading device 19 is provided facing upward. Further, a reading confirmation lamp 21 is provided at the upper right of the reading window 20. This reading confirmation lamp 2
1 is displayed in blue when it is readable, and when data is read, the display changes to red to confirm the reading.

Next, a keyboard 22 is provided in front of the reading window 20.
A bill and coin tray 23 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 22.

The keyboard 22 and the coin receiver 23 are substantially located on the upper surface 16 of the protrusion 17. Furthermore, a PLU keyboard 24 is provided behind the reading window 20.

Two pillars 25 that protrude upward are integrally provided at the rear upper part of the housing 10, and a display section 26 for customers is provided on the right side of the upper part of the pillars 25, and a receipt is displayed on the left side. A printing printer 27 is provided. A receipt issuing port 29 for issuing a receipt 28 of this receipt issuing printer 27 is located at the upper part of the front side, and a normal receipt 28 is located within the scanning area of the reading window 20 of the product data reading device 19. It is positioned so that it will not interfere with the That is, the receipt issuing port 29 is provided at a position that is higher than the reading window 20 by a predetermined height and deviated toward the back by a predetermined distance. Furthermore, the scanning area here refers to the area that is the sum of the readable area where the barcode of the label attached to the product can be read and the product movement area where the product can be moved from side to side.

The pillars 25 are formed relatively thin, and the space between these pillars 25, that is, the product data reading device 19 and the receipt issuing printer 27, is
A space portion 30 is formed between the display portion 26 and the display portion 26 .

In such a configuration, a barcode that can be read by the product data reading device 19 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, when reading the product data, the product is scanned over the reading window 20.

As a result, data is captured, and when the data is read, the reading confirmation lamp 21 changes to red, so that the reading status can be confirmed.

When scanning this product, the product data reading device 19
Since it is formed singly in the width direction of the housing 10, its width dimension is small, so that the scanning distance of the product is short, the burden on the operator is light, and the scanning time is also short.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result, a receipt 28 is issued from the receipt issuing port 29. If this receipt 28 is of normal length, it will not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 20 of the product data reading device 19, as described above, and will be located in a position where the operator will not interfere with it. ing. Therefore, there is no risk that the receipt 28 will be damaged by the operator.

Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 28 is such that the operator can easily take it.

Therefore, in the case of face-to-face sales where the operator and the customer face each other, the customer can check the operator's keyboard operations and scanning operations from the space 30, thereby eliminating the feeling of anxiety. It is also possible to prevent fraud by the operator.

Therefore, during such a registration operation, the drawer 11 is opened in order to transfer cash, but the tip of the opened drawer 15 may protrude more than the tip of the protrusion 17 of the housing 10. This allows the operator to work while always standing close to the housing 10, making it easy to scan products on the reading window 20 and operate the keyboard 22. Therefore, there is less fatigue. Further, the upper surface of the opened drawer 15 also has a lower surface of the protrusion 17 which is concave 18.
Therefore, the space is large, and therefore, the bill presser 12
operations etc. can be performed without any hindrance, and the presence of the protrusion 17 does not impair the operability of the drawer 11.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a product sales registration device in which a housing has a built-in barcode scanner in the upper part of the drawer and a reading window and a keyboard are arranged on the upper surface.
Since a protrusion with a concave lower surface and a protrusion protruding toward the front side is formed in the front part of the casing, even if the trolley is opened, the amount of protrusion of the drawer from the tip of the protrusion of the casing is small;
The operator can always work while standing close to the housing, which makes it easier to use the reading window and keyboard.Furthermore, the lower surface of the protrusion has a concave surface, making it easy to use the open Sufficient space is formed in the upper part of the drawer to operate the banknote holder, which has the effect of not affecting the operation of inserting and removing banknotes at all.
