A product data reader for inputting product data has been considered.

Problems to be solved by the invention Since the product taken out from the basket 1 is scanned by the shadow of the barcode scan scanner 51 from the customer's point of view, the anxiety of double scanning is not resolved for the customer and the settlement amount is correct. Question and go against the spirit of service. Moreover, since the operator 3 is forced to bend forward, there is a problem in that the waist is easily tired after a long work. In addition, checkout operations require multiple small and large shopping bags, waterproof bags for storing products containing water, sales certification tape, packaging tape, straws, spoons, etc., but the space for storing these is small. Also, the storage area is low, which makes it inconvenient to put in and take out.

Means for Solving the Problems A support base is provided on the operator-side side edge of a horizontally long sasker stand on which a basket for storing products is placed, and a bar having a reading window located on the customer side is provided on the support base. A code reader and a display for operators and customers for displaying the data input to the bar code reader and an operation unit for inputting data other than the bar code are provided, and the operator side of the support base and the electric soaker base is provided. Formed a storage box for storing equipment on the surface of the.

Since the operator can directly see the reading window and the product passing in front of it, it is possible to feel reassured by confirming whether or not the product is double-read. Also, the operator passes the product in front of the reading window arranged on the customer side of the barcode reader and inputs the product data, but at this time, the support base holding the barcode reader approaches the operator. ,
You can rest your weight on this support so that you can rest. Moreover, since the internal space of the support table can be included in the storage, the volume of the storage for storing the equipment necessary for checkout work can be increased upward, and more frequently used equipment can be stored in the storage. It can be stored in the upper part and can be taken out easily.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. The same parts as those described in FIGS. 6 to 8 will be described using the same reference numerals. As shown in the right side view of FIG. 1 and the left side view of FIG. 2, a support base 5 is integrally formed near the side edge of the sacker base 1 on the operator 3 side. A bar code scanner 4, which is a bar code reader, is held in the center of the support base 5, and a reading window 6 of the bar code scanner 4 is arranged in the center of the support base 5 toward the customer side. Further, as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 4, a display 7 for a customer located above the reading window 6 is embedded in the central portion of the supporting table 5, and the display 7 for the customer is provided on the upper surface orthogonal to the surface on the customer side. Is embedded with an indicator 8 for the operator. These indicators 7 and 8 are buried in the support base 5 up to the display surface thereof, and the protruding state is avoided. Further, the support base 5 has a base 9 located on the left side and a base 10 located on the right side as viewed from the operator 3. These stands 9 and 10 are also arranged close to the side edge of the sacker stand 2 on the operator 3 side. A mounting surface 11 is formed on the upper surface of the left platform 9 so as to be curved upward in a concave shape for temporarily mounting coins and commodities. The table 9 has a mounting surface 11 arranged below the central upper surface of the support table 5 holding the barcode scanner 4, and the customer side surface of the table 9 is slightly smaller than the central customer surface of the support table 5. Have been evacuated to. Further, a keyboard 12 and a card reader 13 which are operation units for inputting data other than barcodes are provided on the right platform 10. The keyboard 12 actually sees the product and inputs the product code and price, and the card reader 13 reads the data of the magnetic card of the contracted customer, for example. The keyboard 12 is also located below the central upper surface of the support base 5, and the customer side surface of the base 10 is substantially the same as the customer side surface of the central portion of the support base 5.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, a storage box 14 that opens to the operator 3 side is formed on the sacker table 2 and the support table 5. In this storage 14, a waterproof bag storage portion 17 having a window 15 for checking the presence or absence of a waterproof bag and a hole 16a for taking out the bag 16 is provided from the left side to the right side when viewed from the operator 3 side, and a shopping bag. A bag holder 19 for hanging the bag 18, a tape cutter 20 as a tape holding portion, and a bar 21 for hand towels for cleaning the sacker base 2 are sequentially arranged. Further, a small item container 22 for accommodating small items such as straws, spoons, and valuables of the operator is formed in the upper center part of the storage case 14.

With such a configuration, the customer can directly see the reading window 6 and the product passing in front of it, so that it is possible to check whether or not the product is double-read and feel at ease. By locating the customer display 7 on the reading window 6, it is possible to confirm the display state of the customer display 7 within the visual field of viewing the reading window 6 and the product for the customer. it can.

Further, since the display 7 for the customer is located above the reading window 6 and the display 8 for the operator is embedded on the upper surface of the support base 5, the operator 3 faces the reading window 6 with the product. At this time, the display state of the operator's display 8 can be seen within the field of view of this product. In addition, since the indicators 7 and 8 do not protrude from the support base 5, hands and products do not come into contact during skinning, which facilitates skiing operation and protects the indicators 7 and 8. it can. Further, the surface of the table 10 on the customer side and the surface of the support table 5 on which the barcode scanner 4 is located on the central customer side are the same surface. Since the customer side is slightly retracted, the data can be read by moving the product along a straight path.

Further, since the keyboard 12 and the card reader 13 are arranged on the upstream side in the product transport direction, the product is passed from the upstream hand to the downstream hand, and the keyboard is opened with the empty upstream hand.
12 can be operated and a magnetic card can be passed through the card reader 13, and these keyboard 12 and card reader
Since 13 is located below the upper surface of the central portion of the support base 5 on which the barcode scanner 4 is located, it is difficult for the operator's 3 arm to touch the product when the product is moved.
There is no input mistake from. Further, the operability can be improved. The fact that the keyboard 12 is inclined downward toward the operator 3 means that the keyboard 12 and the card reader 13
The operability of can be further improved. Further, arranging the keyboard 12 and the card reader 13 on the right side when viewed from the operator 3 improves the operability for the right-handed operator 3.

Further, although the finished products are stored in the basket 1 on the downstream side, the products whose shape is likely to lose their shape are temporarily placed on the placing surface 11 in order to be stored in the basket 1 after the skining of all the products. This mounting surface 11 is a support base 5 on which the barcode scanner 4 is located.
Since it is located lower than the upper surface of the center of the operator, even if the skinning operation is performed with the product placed on the placing surface 11, the operator 3
The arm or the like does not come into contact with the product on the placement surface 11, and thus the operability of skinning is not impaired.
Then, after all the commodities have been transferred to the basket 1, the banknotes and coins deposited by the customer are also placed on the placing surface 11, but the goods and coins are placed on the common placing surface.
Since it can be temporarily placed using 11, the space for the temporary storage can be reduced. Moreover, since the mounting surface 11 is curved upward in a concave shape,
Goods and coins are hard to drop, and many coins stacked on the placing surface 11 can be easily grasped at once without spilling.

Further, since the internal space of the support base 5 can be included in the storage case 14, the volume of the storage case 14 for storing the equipment necessary for the checkout work can be increased upward, and further, the frequently used equipment can be stored. It can be stored in the upper part of the storage to facilitate the taking-out work. In this case, the largest shopping bag 18 can be accommodated in the highest height portion of the support base 5 with a margin.

Further, when a sales proof tape or a packaging tape is required, the tape cutter 20 is provided on the right side of the support base 5, so that the tape can be easily cut with the right hand, which is generally the dominant hand. it can.

Further, when storing a product containing water in the waterproof bag 16, the waterproof bag storage portion 17 is located on the left side of the support base 5,
The product which has moved the front surface of the reading window 6 with the right hand can be stored in the bag 16 taken out from the hole 16a with the left hand by a natural operation.

Further, although the operator 3 is forced to lean forward slightly during skiing, the operator can rest his / her posture by resting his / her weight on the support 5 because he / she can lean on the support 5.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is configured as described above, since the customer can directly see the reading window and the product passing in front of it,
You can rest assured that double-reading of the product is confirmed, and the operator will pass the product in front of the reading window arranged on the customer side of the barcode reader and enter the product data. At this time, since the support base holding the bar code reader approaches the operator, it is possible to put weight on the support base, which makes it possible to rest and to store the internal space of the support base in the storage cabinet. Since it can be included in the above, it is possible to increase the volume of the storage cabinet for storing the equipment necessary for the checkout work, and further,
This has the effect that the frequently used equipment can be stored in the upper part of the storage to facilitate the taking-out work.
