Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is intended to hold and open a bag by hand when bagging products or the like at a cash register of various stores such as supermarkets or at various work sites. The present invention relates to a bag holding device that can perform bag filling work without leaving.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In supermarket cash registers and the like, it is common for customers to refill items that have undergone accounting processing into carry-out shopping bags made of synthetic resin such as vinyl. This kind of self-service complains about the quick turnover of cashiers and the return of profits to customers by reducing labor costs, but it is bothersome for customers and lacks customer service at stores. .

On the other hand, a bag holding device 200 as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is provided, and it is trying to solve the above problems. This bag holding device 200 takes out shopping bags of two sizes, large and small, as needed, and is useful for bag packing. It is equipped with a large bag holding section 210 and a small bag holding section 220 corresponding to these large and small bags. There is.

This large bag holding portion 210 is provided with a holding piece 212 on the counter side plate 211, on which a large number of closed large-sized bags 90 before use are preliminarily stacked and locked, as shown in FIG. It is kept for easy packing. When using, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the frontmost bag 90
The suspension ring 91 on the front side of the opening a is pulled out and locked to the locking piece 230 fixedly provided at a position facing the holding piece 212 at an appropriate interval. In this way, the hanging ring portion 91 of the bag is locked by the holding piece 212 and the locking piece 230, so that the opening 90 of the bag 90a is locked. Therefore, instead of putting the accounted products into the shopping basket provided in the store, you can put them directly into this bag, and at this time, the place where the bag is held becomes the place to bag as it is. There is. Therefore, unlike the conventional case, the clerk does not have to take out the provided bag from the side each time,
Also, it is not necessary to hold the bag by hand during bag packing.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the pouch holding portion 220 is provided with a holding piece 222 above a base plate 221 which is vertically installed so as to slide, and a closed small bag 90 before use is attached to the holding piece 222. A large number of layers are locked in advance and held in preparation for necessary packing as described above. And since it can be used in the same way as when using the large bag holder, there is no need to support the bag by hand. A horizontal plate 223 is provided below the substrate 221 to support the bottom portion 93 of the bag. That is, the small-sized bag is supported without touching the bottom plate of the counter at its bottom portion 93, and therefore the bag does not become a closed state as shown in FIG. 15 due to the weight of the packed product. As shown in FIG. 14, a sufficient opening state is maintained, which is convenient for the work of packing products and the like.

The bag holding device 200 configured as described above
Normally, the pouch holding portion 220 faces the locking piece 230, so that a pouch of a small size can be packed. Further, when a large-sized bag is desired, such as when there are many products, the substrate 221 can be slid sideways as shown in FIG. 12 and retracted to the storage section 240, whereby the large bag holding section 210 appears. , And can be used facing the locking piece 230. In this way, the conventional bag holding device can selectively use two types of bags as needed.

[0007]

However, in the bag holding device described above, since the pouch holding portion is slid and retracted, a storage portion for storing the pouch holding portion is required, and therefore the vertical width of the counter (in FIG. 13). L) has become large, and arranging a large number of such counters has been a problem in that the floor space of the store is excessively used. Moreover, when changing the type of bag to be used, it is troublesome to slide the pouch holding part in and out for each time, and the storage part is far from the hands of the store clerk. It had to be extended and was even more annoying. Moreover, since this sliding direction is perpendicular to the protruding direction of the holding piece, the holding piece 222 plays the role of an axis, and the stacked bags are greatly swung left and right each time the pouch holding portion is taken in and out. The usability was very poor. Furthermore, since the sliding direction is the lateral direction of the bag, if the bag is a thin film-like shopping bag or the like, it will be messed up, which is very unsatisfactory. Also, the types of bags that can be handled are limited to two types, and when bags larger or smaller than these two types are required, there is the inconvenience of separately taking out the bags and packing them by a store clerk as usual. It was Furthermore, since the distance between the holding piece and the locking piece is fixed differently between the small bag holding portion and the large bag holding portion, either one is too wide or too narrow, or this distance and the opening of the bag. It was difficult to achieve the right spacing because the sizes of the two did not match. The bag that has been packed must be removed from the holding piece and the locking piece with both hands, and the hanging ring portion of the opened bag is difficult to remove, such as being caught by the locking piece. In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to reduce the size of the counter,
Since there are many types of bags that can be handled, the types of bags can be easily switched, and even if there are variations in the size of the bag opening, it can be locked according to each, and the bags after packing can be An object is to provide a bag holding device that can be easily removed.

[0008]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 states: "First bag holding means for holding a large number of closed bags in advance before use. And the bag holding means is installed facing the bag holding means at an appropriate interval, and the hanging ring part on the front side of the bag held by the bag holding means is sequentially pulled out to temporarily suspend the hanging ring part of the opened bag. A second bag holder that holds a large number of closed bags before use, which are arranged to face the locking piece in front of the first bag holding means and the locking piece to be locked. And a second bag holding means provided so as to be able to retract from the front of the first bag holding means by being rotated substantially horizontally. " To do. The central axis of rotation may be provided anywhere, but if it is provided on the side of the counter at the clerk, the clerk can easily operate the bag holding means provided near the axis.

By moving and retracting from the front of the first bag holding means, the first bag holding means can be arranged facing the locking piece. That is, it is possible to select either the first bag holding means or the second bag holding means to face the locking piece. Further, since the turning direction of the holding piece is substantially perpendicular to the left-right direction of the held bag, the bag does not rise up when turning, and the bag swings in the left-right direction of the bag around the holding piece as an axis. Nothing.
Furthermore, in the case where the bag is packed with the bag held by the second bag holding means, the second bag holding means should be rotated to approach the locking piece when the bag is removed. You can Therefore, the suspension ring portions on both sides are close to each other, and both suspension ring portions can be grasped and removed with one hand.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the third bag holding means can be arranged so as to face the locking piece, and the third bag holding means can be rotated to hold the second bag. By retracting from the front of the means, the second bag holding means can be arranged facing the locking piece. That is, it is possible to select any one of the first bag holding means, the second bag holding means and the third holding means and arrange them so as to face the locking piece.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the distance between each bag holding means and the locking piece can be adjusted.

EXAMPLES Examples of the invention described in claims 1 to 3 will be shown below as a so-called cashier counter incorporating the present invention. The entire counter 100 has an elongated rectangular desk shape, and one side of the long side of the counter 100 is a clerk side 101 and the other side is a customer side 102 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).
reference). Further, one of the longitudinal sides of the counter is a cashier table 110 for accounting processing of goods, and the other of the counters is a working table 120 for various purposes, which is used for the convenience of customers. As shown in FIG. 1, the cash register table 110 and the work table 120 are connected to each other with only the bottom plate 130 therebetween so that the bag holding device 1 of the present invention is configured so that both side plates 111 and 121 of the cash register table 110 and the work table 120 are connected. It is sandwiched between. And, this bag holding device 1 has three sizes of oversized, large, and medium.
It can hold a size shopping bag.

First, above the workbench side plate 121, a holding piece 10 which can be fitted into the hanging ring portion 91 of the shopping bag is provided as a first bag holding means. As shown in FIG. 5, this holding piece 10 is formed by bending a slender iron bar material, and a horizontal portion 10a having a length of about 5 cm, which can hang a large number of stacked shopping bags before use, and is bent upward at its tip. It is composed of a slip-out preventing portion 10b. Then, the bag bottom portion 93 is provided at such a height that it can be placed on the bottom plate upper surface 131 of the counter when the oversized shopping bag is hung, and the bottom plate upper surface 131 supports the bag bottom portion 93.

Next, the cash register 110 and the work table 120 have side plates 111 and 121 facing each other at an interval of about 49 cm, and the cash register side plate 111 has a locking piece for locking the hanging ring portion of the shopping bag. 40 is provided. This locking piece 40
Like the holding piece 10, the thin piece is formed by bending a thin iron bar material, and the shape thereof is almost the same as that of the holding piece 10, but the horizontal portion 40a is elongated. Then, such a locking piece 40 is installed so as to face the extension of the horizontal portion of the holding piece 10, and is provided so as to be pulled out to the holding piece 10 side by the long horizontal portion 40a.

On the clerk side of the counter bottom plate 130, a rotatable support column 21 is erected at a distance of about 6 cm from the work bench side plate 121, and the base end of a horizontal arm 22 is attached to the upper end of the support column. As shown in FIG. 6, an upright portion 23 is provided upright on the tip side of the rotating arm 22, and the holding piece 20 provided on this is used as a second bag holding means. This holding piece 20 is also made of a thin iron bar.
It has a substantially same shape as the above and is arranged so as to face the locking piece 40 on the extension line of the horizontal portion of the holding piece 10. And
As shown in FIG. 1, a latch 24 is provided at the base end portion of the support column 21 so as not to rotate from the above position by a slight force during work. In addition, a handle 25 is provided on the upper end of the column 21 to facilitate the turning operation described later.
Further, a horizontal plate 26 attached to the support column 21 is provided below the holding piece 20, and is provided at a height such that the bag bottom 93 is placed on the horizontal plate when a large-sized shopping bag is hung. It is a saucer.

Further, the holding piece 30 is arranged in front of the holding piece 20, and the arm 32 and the pillar 31 of the holding piece 20 are constructed almost the same as the arm 22 and the pillar 21 of the holding piece 20. However,
The position at which the support 31 is set up is different from that of the support 21.
As shown in FIG. 7, the workbench side plate 121 is provided at a distance of about 12 cm, and is also about 6 cm in front of the support column 21 (to the clerk side 101) and at an angle of about 45 degrees with the longitudinal direction of the arm 32. Are erected on the line (X in FIG. 7). Then, the arm 32 is lengthened forward by an amount corresponding to the position closer to the front, and this holding piece 30 also faces the locking piece 40 on the extension line of the horizontal portion of the holding pieces 10 and 20 described above. It is located at. Since the holding piece 30 is for a medium-sized shopping bag, the horizontal plate 36 is the horizontal plate 26 described above.
It is installed at a slightly higher position than.

The cashier counter 100 having the bag holding device 1 of the present invention constructed as described above is used as follows. First, a large number of unused closed shopping bags are stacked in advance for each size (extra large, large, medium), and the hanging ring portion 91 is attached to the holding pieces 10, 20, 30 as shown in FIG.
Insert it into each and hold it. Then, each holding piece is aligned with the position shown in FIG.
In 2, the size is kept from right to middle, large, and extra large.

First, when packing a medium-sized shopping bag, the hanging ring portion 91 on the front side of the topmost bag hung on the holding piece 30 is pulled out, as shown in FIG. Then, the hanging ring portion 91 of the opened bag is locked to the locking piece 40.
At this time, the column 31 is lightly stopped by the latch 34, and even if the suspension ring portion 91 is pulled out, the arm 32 is not caught and attached. Then, the other suspension ring portion 91 remains on the holding piece 30 side, and thus the holding piece 30 and the locking piece 4 are
The opening 92 opens in the shopping bag which is hung on 0 and locked,
Also, it is not necessary to hold it by hand. Then, at the cash register 110, the product in the shopping basket brought by the customer can be directly put into the bag 90 as it is after the accounting process is completed, and at this time, the bag bottom 93 is supported by the horizontal plate 36. Therefore, the bag does not tend to close as shown in FIG. 15 due to the weight of the put product, and the opened state of the opening 92 is as shown in FIG.
It is kept as shown in FIG. If such an operation is carried out for each of the products in the shopping basket one after another, the accounting process ends, the bag filling ends, and the shopping bag can be removed and handed to the customer. When removing the bag, one hand is hung on the suspension ring portion on the side of the holding piece and pulled, and the retaining piece 30 is rotated to approach the locking piece 40, so that the suspension ring portions on both sides come close to each other. Therefore, it is possible to grasp and remove both of these suspension rings with one hand. The holding piece 30 after the removal may be returned to the original position, or may be rotated to be retracted to move to the next work.

Next, when there are many products to be packed in a bag, a large-sized shopping bag may be used. At that time, the arm 32 may be rotated by about 90 degrees toward the locking piece side with the handle 35 and retracted from the front of the holding piece 20. Since the handle 35 is on the clerk side 101 of the counter 100, it is handy and easy to operate. Further, since the rotating direction of the holding piece 30 is substantially perpendicular to the left-right direction of the shopping bag, the bag 90 does not rise up when rotating, and further, the bag moves right and left around the holding piece 30 as an axis. It does not interfere with the operation by shaking. By retracting the medium-sized holding piece 30 in this manner, the large-sized holding piece 20 can be newly faced with the locking piece 40. Subsequent operations are the same as those for the medium-sized bag, and the hanging ring portion 91 on the front side of the first bag hanging on the holding piece 20 is pulled out, and the hanging ring portion 91 of the opened bag is pulled out. Can be locked to the locking piece 40 and packed together with the accounting process.

Further, when there are many products to be packed in a bag, an oversized shopping bag may be used. At this time, the large-sized arm 22 may be rotated by about 90 degrees toward the locking piece side with the handle 25 and retracted from the front of the holding piece in the same manner as described above.
Since the medium-sized support column 31 is located closer to the clerk than the large-size support column 21, it does not interfere with the rotation of the large-size arm 22 as shown in FIG. 7. In this way, the oversized holding piece 10 can be newly faced with the locking piece 40. Further, although the holding piece 10 for the extra-large size is farthest from the locking piece 40, the hanging ring portion 91
If the distance is such that it is difficult to cross over, the locking piece 40 can be pulled out and adjusted to have an appropriate distance. On the contrary, when switching the bag to the smaller one, the above procedure may be reversed.

As described above, the bag holding device 1 of the present invention
According to the above, the entire size of the counter 100 is smaller than that of the counter 200 using the conventional bag holding device,
There are many types of bags that can be handled. Further, even when the type of bag is switched, the operation can be performed at hand, and the bag can be stored in a good condition during the operation. Also, the bag 90
Even if the depths are the same, the size of the opening depends on the shape of the bag, but the bag can be locked without difficulty due to such variations in the opening. Moreover, the bag can be easily removed with one hand.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but may be as follows. First, the number of holding pieces is 3
The number is not limited to one and may be increased or decreased as needed. Further, the rotating holding piece may be installed in any manner, and not limited to the arm, any supporting piece may be used. In addition, there are various types even if they are provided on the arm, and as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of arms may be attached to one column, or as shown in FIG. 9, they may be attached to a support arm provided on the counter side plate. Of course, it may be directly attached to the side plate as shown in FIG.
Further, the shape of the holding piece is not limited to the above, and may be a plate shape or a rod shape.
If it is bent at an acute angle, the effect of preventing falling can be enhanced. Unlike the above embodiment, the horizontal plate may be one whose height can be changed, and may be eliminated if unnecessary. In the above, the application has been described by exemplifying a store, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be used anywhere as long as it is packed in a bag, for example, when packing at a distribution center. May be used for.

[0025]

As described above, in the bag holding device according to the first aspect of the present invention, there is no need to specially provide a place such as a storage portion for the holding means, and thus the device is incorporated. The counter can be smaller than a conventional bag holding device. Further, it becomes possible to use the two bag holding means by easy switching, whereby two kinds of bags can be handled at one time. Furthermore, when changing the type of bag, it is easy to handle because there is no clogging or shaking of the bag, and when removing the bag, it can be grasped and removed with one hand. Further, in the bag holding device according to the second aspect, it is possible to switch and use the three bag holding means, and thereby, three types of bags can be handled at one time. Furthermore, in the bag holding device according to the third aspect, since the locking piece can be pulled out, the variation in the distance between the bag holding means and the locking piece caused by the switching of the bag holding means and the size of the bag opening. Even if there are variations, it is possible to adjust the interval appropriately.
