DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotation display device for a cash register, and more particularly, to a rotation display device for stopping rotation of a display unit at an arbitrary angle with a click feeling.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some cash registers are provided with a display unit for indicating the amount of money to a customer in addition to a display unit for an operator. The display unit for the customer needs to be rotated so that the display surface is oriented most easily to the customer from the relationship between the installation position of the cash register and the position of the customer, and is generally rotatable. . However, when the display unit is rotated, it is not necessary to stop the rotation at a desired angle. In addition, it is desired that the user can sense that rotation has stopped.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, according to the present invention, when a customer display provided at the top of a cash register body is rotated, the rotation can be stopped in a desired direction with a click feeling. Is to do so.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In a cash register rotating display device according to the present invention, a display portion for displaying an amount of money and the like mainly for a customer is supported by a cylindrical support shaft integrally provided,
In the upper part of the cash register main body, a hole for rotatably supporting the support shaft is formed, and a plurality of projecting pieces formed of an elastic member around the hole are erected downward at required intervals in a downward direction. At the lower end of the support shaft, a projection whose tip is sandwiched in the gap between the projecting pieces is provided. With the rotation of the support shaft, the projection at the lower end of the support shaft is sandwiched between two adjacent projecting pieces, and the rotation is performed. Stop so that the orientation of the display unit is maintained.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a cash register rotation display device according to the present invention;
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of one embodiment of a cash register rotation display device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a main part. FIG.
1 is a cash register main body, 2 is a customer display section, 3
Is a support shaft, and the customer display unit 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper portion of the cash register main body 1 by the support shaft 3. 4 is a display section for the operator, 5 is a category of products sold by the operator,
This is a key group for inputting an amount or the like.

2A is a perspective view of the lower end of the support shaft 3 as viewed from below, FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view of a main part of the support shaft mounting portion of the cash register body 1, and FIG. 11 is a lower end portion of the support shaft 3, 12 is a projection, 13 is a shaft support hole formed in the upper surface portion of the cash register body 1, 14
Reference numeral 15 denotes a protruding piece formed of an elastic member which stands vertically downward on the lower surface side around the support hole 13, and 15 is a cutout for passing the projection 12 when the support shaft 3 is inserted into the support hole 13. It is missing.

The customer display unit 2 inserts a lower end 11 of a cylindrical support shaft 3 provided integrally with a hole 13 formed in an upper part of the cash register main body 1, and is rotatable by the hole 13. Be pivoted. The lower end 11 of the support shaft 3 is provided with a semicircular protrusion 12 that protrudes outward. Then, on the lower edge of the hole 13,
For example, columnar projections 14 formed of an elastic member such as a synthetic resin are erected downward at substantially equal intervals. And
The length of the projecting piece 14 is set so that the tip of the projecting piece 14 is located at a position corresponding to the projection 12 of the lower end 11 of the support shaft 3. The projection 12 at the lower end 11 of the support shaft 3 is made of the material of the support shaft 3.
When the housing of the cash register main body 1 is formed of a synthetic resin or the like, the protruding piece 14 is formed by integrally forming the housing material.

Thus, the support shaft 3, that is, the display unit 2
When the support shaft 3 is rotated, the support shaft 3 rotates while the protrusion 12 at the lower end contacts the protruding piece 14 and pushes the protruding piece 14 outward at the tip end, and the protrusion 12 is sandwiched between the two protruding pieces 14. Since the projection 12 temporarily stops at the set position, that is, the position where the projection 12 meshes with the two adjacent projections 14, the rotation operation may be continued until the direction of the display unit 2 becomes a desired direction. By appropriately setting the thickness and length of the protruding piece 14 to have a required elasticity, and appropriately setting the interval between the protruding pieces 14, the protrusion 12 enters the middle of the two protruding pieces. It is possible to stop without rattling, and to obtain a click feeling at this time.

In the above description, the projection 12 is formed in a semicircular shape and the projecting piece 14 is formed in a cylindrical shape. However, the projection 12 is formed in a triangular shape having an acute end, and the projecting piece 14 is oriented in one direction. May be formed in a quadrangular prism shape facing the center of the hole 13.

[0011]

As described above, according to the cash register rotating display device according to the present invention, the customer display unit can be rotated by rotating the projection of the support shaft and the edge of the hole supporting the support shaft. Since the projections are engaged with each other and the rotation stops with a click feeling, it is useful that the display unit can be intuitively received when the display unit is held in a desired direction. In addition, the projection of the support shaft and the projection of the rim of the shaft support hole can be formed integrally with the respective components, so that there is no need to use a special member and the configuration can be made relatively inexpensively.
