Definitions
- the present invention relates to an autographic register, in particular for the establishment of invoices or purchase orders.
- autographic registers are frequently used, each of which has a flat case. , substantially parallelepiped, in the upper face of which is cut a window, which allows the inscriptions on the sheets or strips of paper inserted in said housing; in most known embodiments, this registration window is surrounded by a relatively large frame, on one side of which the user can in particular press his hand or his forearm when he wants to make inscriptions through said window.
- Such an autographic register is described in FR-A-2,058,033, and devices of this type are commonly used in particular in so-called "local" retail businesses, the relatively low turnover of which does not justify employment.
- an electronic or electric cash register possibly with a printer.
- the same person often has to carry out various tasks: customer advice, weighing, packaging, invoicing, and therefore needs a light device that can easily be carried with one hand. from one point of the store to another.
- DE-A-2,716,938 describes a holding device for calculator, which comprises a support frame consisting of a plate provided with slides between which a calculator can be fixed in a removable manner, this frame being integral with '' a clamp capable of clamping the vertical edge of a trolley or a basket for transporting goods, as found in large-scale shops.
- a support frame consisting of a plate provided with slides between which a calculator can be fixed in a removable manner, this frame being integral with '' a clamp capable of clamping the vertical edge of a trolley or a basket for transporting goods, as found in large-scale shops.
- Such a device does not provide a perfect solution to the problem described above, since the user does not have at all at his disposal a vertical wall such as the edge of a basket, rack or the like, for fixing this support nearby. from the autographic register.
- this device can place this device on the register itself because it, by its function, necessarily has the general shape of a rectangular plate which must be placed horizontally or slightly inclined for its use
- the dimensions of the usual autographic registers, and in particular those of their upper frame, are such that it is possible to use, for the application considered, only a "pocket" calculator, having a few centimeters on the side; it is therefore not possible to avoid the drawback inherent in these pocket calculators, namely that the display device has an unsatisfactory readability, not only because of small dimensions, but also because of the need to constitute a liquid crystal panel, capable only of a low-contrast display.
- the object of the invention is to provide a system which allows the simultaneous use and transport of an autographic register and a calculator, without appreciable increase in the size of the register and without harming the aesthetic appearance of the '' together, this use can be done even when the available space is limited and irregular or even totally lacking, said instruments being then held with one hand and actuated with the other, and transport can be done using '' with one hand and / or carrying a parcel at the same time.
- the object of the invention is also to provide such a system which allows two people facing each other in front and behind the register to learn at the same time, easily, the result of the operations performed by the calculator.
- the invention provides an autographic register, in particular for the manual preparation of invoices or purchase orders, comprising a flat substantially parallelepiped box, in the upper face of which is cut a window which allows the inscriptions. on the sheets or strips of paper, inserted in said housing, and which is surrounded by a relatively large frame, and characterized in that it comprises a calculator, of which at least the keys and the display device are mounted on the housing , in particular on the frame surrounding the registration window, so as to be easily accessible to the user, and a device for displaying in large characters the result of the calculations carried out with the calculator, this display device being independent of said calculator, and being arranged so as to be clearly visible to the client facing the user, and so as not to hinder the execution of registrations and calculations by said user .
- the display device Being independent of the calculator, the display device can then be dimensioned much more widely than that of a pocket calculator; in particular, it becomes possible to use for this purpose a display panel with light-emitting diodes, of the type used in particular in larger calculators, cash registers, etc., that is to say a device allowing very contrasting displays, in large characters, for example on a line up to ten centimeters in length.
- the calculator is mounted flat on the side of the upper rectangular frame of the housing, which is normally turned towards the user, while the independent display device is mounted on the opposite side of said rectangular frame, so to present the display to the client.
- the display device is arranged so as to present two identical displays, one towards the client and the other towards the user.
- At least the face of the display device, facing the customer makes an angle between 0 and 60 degrees, and preferably close to 45 degrees, with the plane, substantially horizontal, of the upper case frame.
- the calculator also has its own display device, arranged so as to be clearly visible to the user.
- the reference 1 designates the flat, substantially parallelepipedic case, of an autographic register of known type.
- a rectangular window, 2, which clears the writing areas of a sheet of paper, of a strip of paper, or of the upper sheet of a bundle with several sheets, 3, which has been inserted into the housing 1, and which is kept applied against its upper face, in particular at the level of the window 2, by a plate, not visible in the figure.
- the uncut portion of the upper face of the housing 1 forms a frame 4 around the registration window 2; in the illustrated embodiment, at least three sides of this frame 4 have a relatively large width.
- the fourth side of this frame is a little narrower due to a depression, 5, which is arranged at this end of the parallelepipedic housing 1, so as to release a slot, 5a, through which the sheet or the bundle inscribed can exit of the housing 1, in the direction of the arrow F, as indicated by the representation in dashed lines of the front edge of the sheet 3; the partial extraction of the sheet 3 from the housing 1 through the slot 5a can be controlled manually by the user of the autographic register, placed near its front side, 4c, using a known device, which it is not necessary to describe in detail, and that said user can actuate by means of an operating member 6.
- the whole of this device is well known, so that it is not necessary to describe it in detail.
- a particular embodiment of such an autographic register is described in document FR-A-2,058,033, but it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, being on the contrary applicable to all the types of autographic registers currently known.
- the autographic register comprises a calculator 7, which is fixed by any appropriate means on the front side, 4c, of its upper frame, so that the control members of the calculator, that is to say say in particular set numeric keys and its function keys, 7A1, as well as for example that the activation switch, 7 ′, of said calculator are easily accessible to the user, placed near the front side 4c.
- a display device, 13, independent of the display device 7A2 of the calculator, is arranged on another zone of the upper face of the housing 1, in particular on the rear side, 4d, of its frame 4;
- the display device comprises a first display panel, P1, of a known type, for example with light-emitting diodes, which makes it possible to display numbers, or possibly letters, of a height several millimeters, juxtaposed on a line which can reach a length of ten centimeters;
- the use of a display panel with light-emitting diodes, or a display device of an equivalent type offers the advantage of allowing a highly contrasted display, which, joined to the relatively large dimensions of the numbers or letters displayed, allows the customer, placed several tens of centimeters from the rear side 4d, to read the display with great ease.
- the display panel P1 is placed behind a window 15a arranged in one face of a protective cover, 15, which projects on said rear side 4d;
- the protective cover 15 is preferably molded with the housing 1, or at least its upper part, but it could be a component independent of the housing 1, and mechanically fixed, by any appropriate means, to the rear side 4d, so as to establish the necessary electrical contacts between the display panel P1 and the electronic circuits, not shown, of the calculator.
- the electrical connections between the display panel P1 and the calculator 7 are made by known means, which therefore need not be described in detail; of course, the calculator must be provided with appropriate electrical outputs, which are connected to the panel P1, by conductors passing through the housing 1, for example conductors printed on the underside of its upper frame 4, and passing through electrically its front and rear sides, 4c and 4d.
- a second window - not visible in the drawing - can be arranged in the wall of the protective cover 15, which is opposite to said first window 15a, and a second panel display (not visible in the drawing), possibly identical to P1, can be placed behind this second window, in said cover 15, so as to always have the same display as the first panel P1, in the direction of the arrow f; this second display device is thus clearly visible to the user of the autographic register.
- the display device 7A2 of the calculator may not exist.
- the first display panel P1, and possibly also the second forms an angle between 0 and 60 degrees, and preferably close to 45 degrees, with the plane, substantially horizontal, of the upper frame 4 of the housing.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated in the appended drawing and described above. It encompasses all their variants. Liquid crystal display panels could also be used, although they offer less good contrast.
- the control members of the calculator, 7A1, 7 ' could be arranged on the front part of the lateral side 4a, while its electronic circuits are integrated in the housing 1, the position of said electronic circuits of the calculator being optional subject; to reduce the lengths of the connections, which would generally be made in the form of printed circuits, it would however be preferable to have the corresponding integrated solid circuit, either near the control members, 7A1, 7 ′ of the calculator, or near one of the display devices, 7A2 and P1, ie in the intermediate zone.
- the components 7A1, 7 'and 7A2 of the calculator with which the autographic register according to the present invention is provided could also possibly be mounted on other faces of its casing 1, for example on its front face, certain provisions being however to be discarded because they could give rise to poor accessibility of the control members and poor visibility of the display device.

Description
La présente invention concerne un registre autographique, notamment pour l'établissement de factures ou de bons de commande.The present invention relates to an autographic register, in particular for the establishment of invoices or purchase orders.
Pour faciliter l'établissement manuel de factures ou de bons de commande, notamment sur des liasses à plusieurs feuillets entre lesquels sont insérées des couches d'une matière pour le transfert des inscriptions, on utilise fréquemment des registres autographiques, dont chacun comporte un boîtier plat, sensiblement parallélépipédique, dans la face supérieure duquel est découpée une fenêtre, qui permet les inscriptions sur les feuilles ou les bandes de papier insérées dans ledit boîtier; dans la plupart des réalisations connues, cette fenêtre d'inscription est entourée par un cadre relativement large, sur l'un des côtés duquel l'utilisateur peut notamment appuyer sa main ou son avant-bras lorsqu'il veut effectuer des inscriptions à travers ladite fenêtre.To facilitate the manual preparation of invoices or purchase orders, in particular on bundles with several sheets between which layers of material are inserted for the transfer of inscriptions, autographic registers are frequently used, each of which has a flat case. , substantially parallelepiped, in the upper face of which is cut a window, which allows the inscriptions on the sheets or strips of paper inserted in said housing; in most known embodiments, this registration window is surrounded by a relatively large frame, on one side of which the user can in particular press his hand or his forearm when he wants to make inscriptions through said window.
Un tel registre autographique est décrit dans FR-A-2.058.033, et des appareils de ce type sont couramment utilisés notamment dans les commerces de détail dits "de proximité", dont le chiffre d'affaires relativement faible ne justifie pas l'emploi d'une caisse enregistreuse électronique ou électrique, dotée éventuellement d'une imprimante. Dans de tels commerces de proximité, la même personne doit souvent assurer des tâches diverses : conseils à la clientèle, pesée, emballage, facturation, et elle a donc besoin d'un appareil léger et qui puisse facilement être porté d'une seule main d'un point du magasin à un autre.Such an autographic register is described in FR-A-2,058,033, and devices of this type are commonly used in particular in so-called "local" retail businesses, the relatively low turnover of which does not justify employment. an electronic or electric cash register, possibly with a printer. In such local shops, the same person often has to carry out various tasks: customer advice, weighing, packaging, invoicing, and therefore needs a light device that can easily be carried with one hand. from one point of the store to another.
D'un autre côté, l'usage des calculettes s'est largement répandu dans le même commerce de proximité. L'utilisateur, lorsqu'il se déplace d'un endroit à l'autre du magasin, se trouve dès lors avec deux objets à transporter, le registre autographique et la calculette, ce qui est impratique lorsqu'on n'a pas les mains libres. En outre, il ne trouve pas partout un espace dégagé où il puisse poser à la fois le registre et la calculette de façon à pouvoir utiliser commodément ces deux instruments. En particulier, il faut se souvenir que la plupart des calculettes ont un système d'affichage à cristaux liquides qui exige un bon éclairement. L'utilisateur doit donc tenir d'une main, alternativement, le registre ou la calculette pendant que, de l'autre main, il écrit ou actionne les touches.On the other hand, the use of calculators has spread widely in the same convenience store. The user, when moving from one place to another of the store, is therefore left with two objects to transport, the autographic register and the calculator, which is impractical when you do not have your hands free. In addition, he does not find everywhere a clear space where he can put both the register and the calculator so that he can use these two instruments conveniently. In particular, it should be remembered that most calculators have a liquid crystal display system which requires good lighting. The user must therefore alternately hold the register or the calculator with one hand while, with the other hand, he writes or actuates the keys.
Il pourrait évidemment fixer la calculette sur le bord du registre avec un ruban adhésif, mais l'effet est disgracieux et risque d'impressionner défavorablement la clientèle.He could obviously fix the calculator on the edge of the register with an adhesive tape, but the effect is unsightly and is likely to impress customers.
On a décrit, dans DE-A-2.716.938, un dispositif de maintien pour calculette, qui comprend un châssis-support constitué d'une plaque munie de glissières entre lesquelles on peut fixer une calculette de façon amovible, ce châssis étant solidaire d'une pince capable de serrer le bord vertical d'un chariot ou d'un panier de transport des marchandises, tel qu'on en trouve dans les commerces de grande surface. Un tel dispositif n'apporte pas une solution parfaite au problème décrit plus haut, car l'utilisateur n'a pas par tout à sa disposition une paroi verticale telle que bord de panier, de casier ou autre, pour y fixer ce support à proximité du registre autographique. Il ne peut pas non plus poser ce dispositif sur le registre lui-même car celui-ci, de par sa fonction, présente nécessairement la forme générale d'une plaque rectangulaire qui doit être placée horizontalement ou faiblement inclinée pour son utilisation. Si on place le registre verticalement, on pourra fixer sur son bord supérieur ou inférieur la calculette et l'utiliser comme indiqué dans DE-A-2.716.938, mais il sera pratiquement impossible d'utiliser le registre à moins de l'incliner à peu près jusqu'à l'horizontale, mais la calculette sera alors dans un plan vertical et par suite à peu près inutilisable. D'un autre côté, le support augmenterait l'encombrement du registre, ce qui est à éviter car l'espace est généralement restreint. Par ailleurs, la calculette doit avoir des dimensions assez restreintes pour pouvoir être assujettie à l'extérieur du boîtier dans une position où non seulement ses touches sont aisément accessibles à l'utilisateur, mais aussi son dispositif d'affichage est bien visible pour lui. Or, les dimensions des registres autographiques usuels, et notamment celles de leur cadre supérieur sont telles qu'il n'est possible d'utiliser, pour l'application considérée, qu'une calculette "de poche", ayant quelques centimètres de côté ; il n'est donc pas possible d'éviter l'inconvénient inhérent à ces calculettes de poche, à savoir que le dispositif d'affichage présente une lisibilité peu satisfaisante, non seulement en raison de faibles dimensions, mais aussi du fait de la nécessité de le constituer d'un panneau de cristaux liquides, susceptibles seulement d'un affichage à faible contraste.DE-A-2,716,938 describes a holding device for calculator, which comprises a support frame consisting of a plate provided with slides between which a calculator can be fixed in a removable manner, this frame being integral with '' a clamp capable of clamping the vertical edge of a trolley or a basket for transporting goods, as found in large-scale shops. Such a device does not provide a perfect solution to the problem described above, since the user does not have at all at his disposal a vertical wall such as the edge of a basket, rack or the like, for fixing this support nearby. from the autographic register. Nor can it place this device on the register itself because it, by its function, necessarily has the general shape of a rectangular plate which must be placed horizontally or slightly inclined for its use. If you place the register vertically, you can fix the calculator on its upper or lower edge and use it as indicated in DE-A-2.716.938, but it will be practically impossible to use the register unless you tilt it to almost to the horizontal, but the calculator will then be in a vertical plane and therefore almost unusable. On the other hand, the support would increase the size of the register, which is to be avoided because the space is generally limited. Furthermore, the calculator must have sufficiently small dimensions to be able to be secured outside the housing in a position where not only its keys are easily accessible to the user, but also its display device is clearly visible to him. However, the dimensions of the usual autographic registers, and in particular those of their upper frame, are such that it is possible to use, for the application considered, only a "pocket" calculator, having a few centimeters on the side; it is therefore not possible to avoid the drawback inherent in these pocket calculators, namely that the display device has an unsatisfactory readability, not only because of small dimensions, but also because of the need to constitute a liquid crystal panel, capable only of a low-contrast display.
Le but de l'invention est de fournir un système qui permette l'utilisation et le transport simultanés d'un registre autographique et d'une calculette, sans augmentation sensible de l'encombrement du registre et sans nuire à l'aspect esthétique de l'ensemble, cette utilisation pouvant se faire même lorsque l'espace disponible est limité et irrégulier ou encore manque totalement, lesdits instruments étant alors tenus d'une main et actionnés de l'autre, et le transport pouvant se faire à l'aide d'une seule main et/ou en portant en même temps un colis. Le but de l'invention est également de fournir un tel système qui permette à deux personnes se faisant face en avant et en arrière du registre de prendre connaissance en même temps, de façon aisée, du résultat des opérations effectuées par la calculette.The object of the invention is to provide a system which allows the simultaneous use and transport of an autographic register and a calculator, without appreciable increase in the size of the register and without harming the aesthetic appearance of the '' together, this use can be done even when the available space is limited and irregular or even totally lacking, said instruments being then held with one hand and actuated with the other, and transport can be done using '' with one hand and / or carrying a parcel at the same time. The object of the invention is also to provide such a system which allows two people facing each other in front and behind the register to learn at the same time, easily, the result of the operations performed by the calculator.
Ce problème est résolu par le fait que l'invention fournit un registre autographique, notamment pour l'établissement manuel de factures ou de bons de commande, comportant un boîtier plat sensiblement parallélépipédique, dans la face supérieure duquel est découpée une fenêtre qui permet les inscriptions sur les feuilles ou bandes de papier, insérées dans ledit boîtier, et qui est entourée par un cadre relativement large, et caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une calculette, dont au moins les touches et le dispositif d'affichage sont montés sur le boîtier, notamment sur le cadre entourant la fenêtre d'inscription, de façon à être aisément accessibles à l'utilisateur, et un dispositif pour afficher en gros caractères le résultat des calculs effectués avec la calculette, ce dispositif d'affichage étant indépendant de ladite calculette, et étant disposé de façon à être bien visible pour le client faisant face à l'utilisateur, et de façon à ne pas gêner l'exécution des inscriptions et des calculs par ledit utilisateur.This problem is solved by the fact that the invention provides an autographic register, in particular for the manual preparation of invoices or purchase orders, comprising a flat substantially parallelepiped box, in the upper face of which is cut a window which allows the inscriptions. on the sheets or strips of paper, inserted in said housing, and which is surrounded by a relatively large frame, and characterized in that it comprises a calculator, of which at least the keys and the display device are mounted on the housing , in particular on the frame surrounding the registration window, so as to be easily accessible to the user, and a device for displaying in large characters the result of the calculations carried out with the calculator, this display device being independent of said calculator, and being arranged so as to be clearly visible to the client facing the user, and so as not to hinder the execution of registrations and calculations by said user .
Etant indépendant de la calculette, le dispositif d'affichage peut être alors dimensionné bien plus largement que celui d'une calculette de poche ; en particulier, il devient possible d'utiliser à cet effet un panneau d'affichage à diodes électroluminescentes, du type utilisé notamment dans les calculettes de plus grandes dimensions, les caisses enregistreuses ...etc, c'est-à-dire un dispositif permettant des affichages très contrastés, en gros caractères, par exemple sur une ligne pouvant atteindre une dizaine de centimètres de longueur.Being independent of the calculator, the display device can then be dimensioned much more widely than that of a pocket calculator; in particular, it becomes possible to use for this purpose a display panel with light-emitting diodes, of the type used in particular in larger calculators, cash registers, etc., that is to say a device allowing very contrasting displays, in large characters, for example on a line up to ten centimeters in length.
Par exemple, la calculette est montée à plat sur le côté du cadre supérieur, rectangulaire, du boîtier, qui est normalement tourné vers l'utilisateur, tandis que le dispositif indépendant d'affichage est monté sur le côté opposé dudit cadre rectangulaire, de façon à présenter l'affichage vers le client.For example, the calculator is mounted flat on the side of the upper rectangular frame of the housing, which is normally turned towards the user, while the independent display device is mounted on the opposite side of said rectangular frame, so to present the display to the client.
Selon une autre caractéristique, facultative, de l'invention, le dispositif d'affichage est aménagé de façon à présenter deux affichages identiques, l'un vers le client et l'autre vers l'utilisateur.According to another optional feature of the invention, the display device is arranged so as to present two identical displays, one towards the client and the other towards the user.
Pour accroître la visibilité de l'affichage, au moins la face du dispositif d'affichage, tournée vers le client, fait un angle compris entre 0 et 60 degrés, et de préférence voisin de 45 degrés, avec le plan, sensiblement horizontal, du cadre supérieur du boîtier.To increase the visibility of the display, at least the face of the display device, facing the customer, makes an angle between 0 and 60 degrees, and preferably close to 45 degrees, with the plane, substantially horizontal, of the upper case frame.
Enfin, il est avantageux que la calculette comporte en outre son propre dispositif d'affichage, disposé de façon à être bien visible pour l'utilisateur.Finally, it is advantageous that the calculator also has its own display device, arranged so as to be clearly visible to the user.
A titre d'exemple, on a décrit ci-après une réalisation de l'invention illustrée schématiquement au dessin annexé, qui en est une vue en perspective.By way of example, an embodiment of the invention has been described below, illustrated schematically in the appended drawing, which is a perspective view thereof.
Sur cette figure, la référence 1 désigne le boîtier plat, sensiblement parallélépipédique, d'un registre autographique de type connu. Dans la face supérieure du boîtier 1 est découpée une fenêtre rectangulaire, 2, qui dégage les zones d'inscription d'une feuille de papier, d'une bande de papier, ou encore de la feuille supérieure d'une liasse à plusieurs feuillets, 3, qui a été insérée dans le boîtier 1, et qui est maintenue appliquée contre sa face supérieure, au niveau notamment de la fenêtre 2, par un plateau, non visible sur la figure. La partie non découpée de la face supérieure du boîtier 1 forme un cadre 4, autour de la fenêtre d'inscription 2 ; dans la forme de réalisation illustrée, trois côtés au moins de ce cadre 4 ont une largeur relativement grande. Le quatrième côté de ce cadre est un peu plus étroit en raison d'une dépression, 5, qui est aménagée à cette extrémité du boîtier parallélépipédique 1, de manière à dégager une fente, 5a, par laquelle la feuille ou la liasse inscrite peut sortir du boîtier 1, dans le sens de la flèche F, comme indiqué par la représentation en traits mixtes du bord avant de la feuille 3 ; l'extraction partielle de la feuille 3 hors du boîtier 1 à travers la fente 5a peut être commandée manuellement par l'utilisateur du registre autographique, placé près de son côté avant, 4c, à l'aide d'un dispositif connu, qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de décrire en détail, et que ledit utilisateur peut actionner au moyen d'un organe de manoeuvre 6. L'ensemble de ce dispositif est bien connu, si bien qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de le décrire en détail. Une forme de réalisation particulière d'un tel registre autographique est décrite dans le document FR-A-2 058 033, mais il est bien évident que la présente invention n'est pas limitée à cette forme de réalisation, étant au contraire aplicable à tous les types de registres autographiques actuellement connus.In this figure, the
Dans cette forme de réalisation, le registre autographique comporte une calculette 7, qui est fixée par tous moyens appropriés sur le côté avant, 4c, de son cadre supérieur, de façon que les organes de commande de la calculette, c'est-à-dire notamment set touches numériques et ses touches de fonction, 7A1, ainsi par exemple que le commutateur de mise en service, 7', de ladite calculette soient aisément accessibles à l'utilisateur, placé près du côté avant 4c. Par ailleurs, dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, un dispositif d'affichage, 13, indépendant du dispositif d'affichage 7A2 de la calculette, est disposé sur une autre zone de la face supérieure du boîtier 1, notamment sur le côté arrière, 4d, de son cadre 4 ; dans cette forme de réalisation, le dispositif d'affichage comprend un premier panneau d'affichage, P1, d'un type connu, par exemple à diodes électroluminescentes, qui permet d'afficher des chiffres, ou éventuellement des lettres, d'une hauteur de plusieurs millimètres, juxtaposés sur une ligne pouvant atteindre une longueur d'une dizaine de centimètres ; l'emploi d'un panneau d'affichage à diodes électro-luminescentes, ou d'un dispositif d'affichage d'un type équivalent, offre l'avantage de permettre un affichage très contrasté, ce qui, joint aux dimensions relativement importantes des chiffres ou lettres affichés, permet au client, placé à plusieurs dizaines de centimètres du côté arriére 4d, de lire l'affichage avec beaucoup de facilité. Dans l'exemple illustré, le panneau d'affichage P1 est placé derrière une fenêtre 15a aménagée dans une face d'un capot de protection, 15, qui fait saillie sur ledit côté arrière 4d ; le capot de protection 15 est de préférence venu de moulage avec le boîtier 1, ou tout au moins sa partie supérieure, mais il pourrait s'agir d'un composant indépendant du boîtier 1, et fixé mécaniquement, par tous moyens appropriés, sur le côté arrière 4d, de manière à établir les contacts électriques nécessaires entre le panneau d'affichage P1 et les circuits électroniques, non représentés, de la calculette. D'une façon générale, les connexions électriques entre le panneau d'affichage P1 et la calculette 7 sont réalisées par des moyens connus, qu'il n'est donc pas nécessaire de décrire en détail ; bien entendu, la calculette doit être pourvue de sorties électriques appropriées, qui sont reliées au panneau P1, par des conducteurs passant dans le boîtier 1, par exemple des conducteurs imprimés sur la face inférieure de son cadre supérieur 4, et traversant avec isolement électrique ses côtés avant et arrière, 4c et 4d. Une seconde fenêtre - non visible au dessin -, analogue à la première fenêtre 15a, peut être aménagée dans la paroi du capot protecteur 15, qui est opposée à ladite première fenêtre 15a, et un second panneau d'affichage (non visible au dessin), éventuellement identique à P1, peut être placé derrière cette seconde fenêtre, dans ledit capot 15, de façon à présenter toujours le même affichage que le premier panneau P1, dans le sens de la flèche f ; ce second dispositif d'affichage est ainsi bien visible pour l'utilisateur du registre autographique. Bien entendu, dans ce cas, le dispositif d'affichage 7A2 de la calculette peut ne pas exister. De préférence, le premier panneau d'affichage P1, et éventuellement aussi le second, fait un angle compris entre 0 et 60 degrés, et de préférence voisin de 45 degrés, avec le plan, sensiblement horizontal, du cadre supérieur 4 du boîtier.In this embodiment, the autographic register comprises a calculator 7, which is fixed by any appropriate means on the front side, 4c, of its upper frame, so that the control members of the calculator, that is to say say in particular set numeric keys and its function keys, 7A1, as well as for example that the activation switch, 7 ′, of said calculator are easily accessible to the user, placed near the front side 4c. Furthermore, in the illustrated embodiment, a display device, 13, independent of the display device 7A2 of the calculator, is arranged on another zone of the upper face of the
La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation illustrées au dessin annexé et décrites précédemment. Elle englobe toutes leurs variantes. Des panneaux d'affichage à cristaux liquides pourraient être également utilisés, bien qu'ils offrent un moins bon contraste. A titre de variante, les organes de commande de la calculette, 7A1, 7', pourraient être disposés sur la partie frontale du côté latéral 4a, tandis que ses circuits électroniques seraient intégrés dans le boîtier 1, la position desdits circuits électroniques de la calculette étant matière à option ; pour réduire les longueurs des connexions, qui seraient généralement réalisées sous la forme de circuits imprimés, il serait cependant préférable de disposer le circuit solide intégré correspondant, soit à proximité des organes de commande, 7A1, 7' de la calculette, soit à proximité de l'un des dispositifs d'affichage, 7A2 et P1, soit dans la zone intermédiaire. Bien entendu, les composants 7A1, 7' et 7A2 de la calculette dont est pourvu le registre autographique selon la présente invention pourraient aussi éventuellement être montés sur d'autres faces de son boîtier 1, par exemple sur sa face frontale, certaines dispositions étant cependant à écarter car elles pourraient donner lieu à une mauvaise accessibilité des organes de commande et à une mauvaise visibilité du dispositif d'affichage.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments illustrated in the appended drawing and described above. It encompasses all their variants. Liquid crystal display panels could also be used, although they offer less good contrast. Alternatively, the control members of the calculator, 7A1, 7 ', could be arranged on the front part of the lateral side 4a, while its electronic circuits are integrated in the
