Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a POS (Point Of Sale)
s) It relates to a product sales data processing device such as a terminal and an ECR (Electronic Cash Register).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional product sales data processing apparatus, a keyboard is provided on the front side of a main body case and a display section is provided on the back side. Further, roll-shaped receipt paper or journal paper is stored on the upper side or the back side of the keyboard, and a discharge port for issuing a receipt is formed on the upper side or the back side of the keyboard.

[0003]

In the product sales data processing device in which the discharge port is formed on the side of the keyboard, it is necessary to secure a space for forming the discharge port on the side of the keyboard. Due to the large size, it is difficult to reduce the size and weight of the product sales data processing device.

On the other hand, in a product sales data processing apparatus having a discharge port formed on the upper back side of the keyboard, when the receipt extends long due to the large number of sales points, the receipt touches the keyboard and the keyboard is operated. Will cause problems. Further, since the print head and the like are arranged at a higher position and the height of the main body case is increased, it is difficult to reduce the size and weight of the product sales data processing device. It should be noted that if the issued receipt is extended upwards, the receipt will not be applied to the keyboard, but a long extended receipt will be applied to the display, so the width of the display is increased. Is difficult.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In a product sales data processing device for registering input product data, printing it on a roll-shaped receipt sheet, and then issuing it as a receipt, a keyboard section is provided on the front side of the main body case. A display unit is provided on the back side, and a discharge port for issuing the receipt toward the front side is formed below the keyboard unit of the main body case.

[0006]

[Operation] Since the receipt is issued from the discharge port formed on the lower side of the keyboard part toward the front side, it is not necessary to secure a space for forming the discharge port on the side of the keyboard part and the receipt is issued. The receipt does not get stuck on the keyboard or display.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, the drawing shows the overall structure of a product sales data processing apparatus according to the present invention. A keyboard 2 which is a keyboard unit is provided on the front upper surface of a main body case 1. A cover 3 is provided to open and close the cover. A display unit 4 is provided on the back side of the cover 3 for displaying product data and the like input by the keyboard 2 and a hand scanner (not shown), and the cover 3 is opened as shown in the drawing. At this time, the display unit 4 comes to be positioned on the back side of the keyboard 2.

Below the keyboard 2 in the main body case 1, receipt paper 5 and journal paper (not shown) wound in a roll are stored. In addition, the keyboard 2 in the main body case 1
On the lower side, there is formed a discharge port 7 for issuing the receipt 6 cut toward the front side after the product data and the like are printed on the receipt paper 5. Further, in the main body case 1, a pair of upper and lower transport rollers 8, 9, a print head 10, a platen 11, and a receipt are provided along a transport path along which the receipt paper 5 is transported toward the discharge port 7. A cutter 12 for stub cutting the paper 5 is provided.

In such a configuration, the product data and the like input by the keyboard 2 and the hand scanner are displayed on the display unit 4 and printed on the receipt paper 5 and the journal paper by the print head 10, and the receipt paper 5 is ejected. The cutter 12 is conveyed to the outlet 7.
And is issued from the discharge port 7 as a receipt 6. On the other hand, the journal paper printed by the print head 10 is taken up by a take-up roller (not shown) provided inside the case body 1.

Here, since the receipt 6 is issued from the discharge port 7 formed on the lower side of the keyboard 2 toward the front side, in order to form the discharge port on the side of the keyboard 2 as in the conventional example. It is no longer necessary to secure the space, and the lateral width dimension of the main body case 1 can be reduced to reduce the size and weight. Further, even if the receipt 6 becomes long, the receipt 6 does not hang on the keyboard 2 or the display unit 4, which does not hinder the operation of the keyboard 2 or the viewing of the display unit 4. Furthermore, since the print head 10 and the like are located below the keyboard 2, the height of the main body case 1 can be reduced to reduce the size and weight.

Next, since the display unit 4 is provided on the back surface side of the openable / closable cover 3, the display unit 4 is prevented from protruding upward by closing the cover 3 and packaging and transportation are facilitated. Become. Further, after the sales operation is completed or when the sales operation is interrupted for a long time, the cover 3 is closed to prevent dust and dirt from adhering to the keyboard 2 and the display unit 4.

In the present embodiment, the keyboard 2
Although the product sales data processing device in which the display unit 4 is provided on the back surface side of the cover 3 for opening and closing is described as an example, the present invention is also applicable to a general product sales data processing device having a fixed display unit. Can be applied.

[0013]

As described above, the present invention is a product sales data processing device for registering input product data, printing it on a roll-shaped receipt sheet, and then issuing it as a receipt. Since a discharge section for issuing the receipt is formed toward the front side below the keyboard section of the main body case, the space for forming the discharge section is provided in the keyboard section. Since it is not necessary to secure it laterally, the width dimension of the main body case can be reduced, the product sales data processing device can be made smaller and lighter, and the print head for printing on receipt paper, etc. Since the installation position is also below the keyboard, the height of the main body case can be reduced and the product sales data processing device can be installed. It is possible to further reduce the size and weight, and even if the receipt extends long, the receipt does not interfere with the keyboard part or the display part, and the keyboard part can be operated without any trouble and the main body case It is possible to provide a large-sized display section that utilizes the entire width of the display.
