Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention is applicable to a cash register used as a standalone device or incorporated in a POS system, etc., for storing money such as sales proceeds and change. The present invention relates to a coin storage device provided therein.

6. Prior art The money storage device in the conventional cash register
This will be explained based on the diagram. This cash register has a device main body 2 disposed in the second part of the money storage device 1. The Aij coin storage device l has a drawer l in the housing 1a.
b is arranged so as to be freely put in and taken out,
Further, the device main body 2 includes a customer display 2a, a cashier display 2b, a keyboard 2c, a printer 2d, and the like.

In such a cash register, the drawer 1b is normally housed inside the casing 1a, and is ejected when, for example, a resignation key is pressed after registering a product.

Then, the cashier stores the money deposited by the customer in the ejected drawer 1b, and after confirming the amount of change on the cashier display 2b, takes out the money equivalent to the amount of change from the drawer 1b and collects it. The task is to hand over the product to the customer.

In a cash register like 2, the display on the cashier display 2b and the ejecting operation of the drawer 1b are both performed in the vicinity of the cashier in the direction facing the cashier, so it is difficult to check the amount of change and take out coins. This can be done smoothly.

On the other hand, the 7th cash register is different from the one mentioned above.
There is something like the one shown in the figure. This is a device in which a currency storage device 3 and a device main body 4 are arranged at a predetermined distance. The money storage device 3 includes a drawer 3b inside the housing 3a.
The apparatus main body 4 is formed by a cashier display 4a, a keyboard 4b, a printer 40, etc.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a cash register, since the money storage device 3 and the device main body 4 are arranged apart from each other, the drawer 3b
The amount of change displayed on the cashier display 4a does not appear in the cashier's field of vision while taking out money from the cashier.

That is, if the cashier forgets the amount of change, he or she must turn toward the cashier display 4a.

For this reason, it is not possible to take out money smoothly, and it takes time to transfer money to and receive money from customers.As a result, customers are congested at checkout offices and the like where such cash registers are installed.

Additionally, since the cashier relies on his/her memory, there is a risk of making a mistake in the amount of change.

If the amount of change is incorrect, it causes inconvenience to the customer, and as a result, the credibility of the store is damaged.

Means to solve the problem Proceeds from sales of products that can be freely put in and taken out of the housing, or
In a money storage device for an electronic cash register having a money storage means for storing money such as change, a change amount display means for displaying the amount of change is provided in the vicinity of a money placement means provided in the money storage means. Ta.

Since the change amount display means for displaying the amount of change is disposed near the money placement means, the amount of change can be confirmed by the change amount display means and the money can be taken out from the money placement means at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required to exchange money with customers and to make the process smoother.As a result, customers are no longer stuck in traffic jams, and at the same time, customers who have received the wrong amount of change can This will eliminate the need to cause trouble to customers and damage the trust in the store.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the money storage device 5 in this cash register has a drawer 5b as a money storage means that holds a money tray 5a, a money placement means for placing money, and a casing 5. A cashier's display 5d as change amount display means is disposed at one end of the upper surface of the second drawer 5 on the cashier side.

The cache sister in which this drawer 5b is installed has a hardware configuration as shown in FIG. A microcomputer is formed, and a customer display 9 is connected to the CPU 6 via a display controller 9d, a keyboard 1 is connected via a keyboard controller loa, and a printer controller l
A printer II is connected through the terminal la, a drawer 5b is connected through a discharge controller J2, and a cashier display 5d is connected through a display controller 13.

However, in Aij t, p ONs 7, the CPU 6
control 17 the RA\18, the customer display 9, the keyboard 10, the printer 11 and the drawer;
) L) and the cashier's display 5d. When registering products in such a configuration, a program as shown in FIG. 3 is stored. As shown in the figure, the subtotal key (not shown) is pressed after the product data including the sales amount of the product is registered, and the close key (not shown) is pressed after the deposit amount is registered. At that time, the amount of change is calculated by subtracting the sales amount of the product from the deposited amount, and this calculation result is output to the display controller 13 and displayed on the cashier display 5.
After the display is displayed at d, an ejection signal is output to the ejection controller 2 to cause the drawer 5b to eject.

Furthermore, it is determined whether the drawer 5b is in the ejecting state,
If the drawer 5b is in the discharge state, the process moves to a registration disable routine that disables continued registration, and the drawer 5b
If b is in the stored state, a reset signal is output to the display controller 13 to change the display on the cashier display 5d from O to reset I.

In this way, the cashier display 5d or the drawer 5b
In other words, since it is disposed near the money tray 5a, it is possible to check the amount of change on the cashier display 5d and at the same time take out money from the money tray 5a.

For this reason, it is possible to shorten the time required to exchange money with customers and to make the process smoother, and as a result, customers are no longer stuck in traffic.
At the same time, customers will not be inconvenienced by giving the wrong amount of change, and the trust in the store will no longer be lost.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cashier display 5d is disposed at the cashier side end of the -L surface of the drawer 5b, but this is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. Indicator 5 for gear...
d is arranged on the side of the cashier side of the drawer 5b, and as shown in FIG.
It is possible to implement an arrangement in which d is disposed on the side surface of the housing 5C toward the cashier side. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide the cashier display 5d independently of the money storage device 5 and place it in a place that is easily visible to the cashier in the vicinity.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a money storage device for an electronic cash register having a money storage means which is provided in a housing so as to be freely put in and taken out and stores sales proceeds of products or money such as change. Since the change amount display means for displaying the amount of change is provided near the money placement means provided in the money storage means, when the amount of change is confirmed by the change amount display means, the money is removed from the money placement means.
