Description

Cash receipt device for cash registers or checkouts

The invention relates to a money receiving device for cash registers or cash desks with an in cash drawer embedded in the tabletop. Such money accepting devices were developed to the obstruction of the cashing person by the up to then in the cash register or also next to the same stored ^ moving out cash drawer to eliminate. (DE-PS 31 40 529).

The solution to this problem was, however, only incomplete because the cash drawer is covered by laterally displaceable locking bars so that when the cash register's sum key is pressed, the cash register must be moved sideways and move under the table top in order to release the cash drawer Disadvantages connected that the closing plates are below the level of the flow of goods which is interrupted and that when liquid goods leak during passage due to damage to the packaging * the liquid passes through the parting line between the two closing plates and contaminates the means of payment stored in the cash drawer. - It is also disadvantageous that if the locking plates are jammed by sticky goods such as _; B. Obstj are contaminated, the passage of the locking plates is endangered. Another disadvantage of the known money collecting device is the complicated drive of the two closing plates JH>, which can be displaced in opposite directions.

The invention is based on the object; to create a money receiving device of the type described above, the upper end of which lies in the level of the flow of goods.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a special cash box that has a swiveling, has spring-loaded lid in the opening direction, which is in the front side wall of the cash box engages, whereby the locking is normally via one of the sum key or a special key the assigned cash register controlled motor and in the event of a power failure via a manual one Switch is canceled.

The lid of the cash box is no longer moved sideways under the table top, but rather it is opened up and can therefore lie exactly in the level of the flow of goods.

Since it can be carried out in undivided form, j can be approximately expired Liquids no longer enter the cash drawer proper; Any contamination of the Lid surface is completely harmless; the function of the cash register cover is not affected in the least impaired.

Since to open the money receiving device only a simple detent has to be lifted and the drive consists of simple torsion springs to open the lid, the lid can also be opened in the simplest way open manually .; All that is needed is the locking tongue

the locking device moved to by a manual switch via a simple lever mechanism will.

So it is no longer a special one, as with the money-receiving device that has become known Drive required to release the actual cash drawer, but within the cash receiving device according to the invention a low-performance motor is used, with an operating voltage between 8 and Can work 50 volts, to accommodate the latching of the lid in the front side wall of the money receiving device .

A further development of the invention is in the money collecting device an exchangeable cash drawer used. The opening for the exchangeable money The drawer can be made so large that it can be easily exchanged, because ultimately the only by a certain amount flipped up lid of the money receiving device an undesirable to the buyer was unable to reach into the cash drawer.

In the case of the cash receiving device that has become known, however, the receiving opening for the cash drawer had to be be made smaller than this disc, because after the side moving apart of the Schileßplatten Cash drawer has been released for unhindered access by buyers.

In a further development of the invention is within the money receiving device a stop element that can be adjusted to various angles of inclination for the temporary Determination of the opening angle of the lid provided, which is overcome by the closing pressure of the lid will. This is achieved; that the cashier doesn't have the fully open Cover must grip, but only perform an arbitrarily adjustable small access movement to the cash drawer Has.

Further features of the invention are specified in claims 4 to 6.

The money receiving device designed according to the invention can be, as explained, without difficulty Position so that the surface of the lid is flush with the surface of the conveyor belt and the flow of goods is not impaired.

The adjustable catch, which can be canceled by simply pressing on the cover, allows on the one hand to close this lid and on the other hand due to the filter load in the opposite In the direction of the set inclination.

Finally, the lid can be swiveled into the fully open position by hand pressure, so that the as lockable cash register trained Geldiade can be exchanged;

The one equipped with adjustable opening inclinations

Lid not only prevents unauthorized access to cash register contents, but also for some Buyers "tempting" sight of the means of payment.

The invention is described below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown schematically in the drawing of details of the same explained in more detail. Show it :

According to Figure 1 sits on the pivot axis 1 of the cover 2, a conventional torsion spring 3, one end 4 on the ceiling! 2 and the other bears against a fixed part (not shown) of the container 5 containing the cash register (not shown). 3y the bias this Torsionsfedsr the characterizing also be arranged more than once, is chosen so that the lid 2 according to its weight from the closed position nu ^r slowly rises up to the locked position quickly migrates upwards and is pivoted by manual operation as quickly in the full open position that an optimal movement characteristic is guaranteed. This characteristic of the lid

pivoting movement therefore inevitably results from the assignment according to the invention to one or more conventional torsion springs 3 and the catch still to be described, which is shown in FIG.

The stop bracket 6 is then in different positions by means of the easily detachable and lockable screw 7 Angles to the ceiling! 2 adjustable.

In its end face, the stop block 6 contains a Well 8 into which the spring-loaded stop pin 9 engages liftable when the positions are identical.

The cashier can thus snap the cover 2 into an open position that is her personal Accessibility.

Should the cash register (not shown), e.g. in the event of a change in personnel, be replaced, the cover 2 can easily be pushed in by hand the vertical open position can be pivoted, but then the locking by means of a stop block 6 and stop pin 9 is canceled. This last pivoting movement then takes place because of the greatly reduced lever arm of the center of gravity of the cover 2 and the resulting reduced restoring torque very quickly.
