Abstract

A check-out installation comprises a receiving con­ veyor band (1) followed by an intermediate table (2) where a cashier enters the price of the articles in a cash register, as well as a delivery conveyor band (6) situated after the intermediate table and including driving means (12). The receiving conveyor band (1) transfer the articles of a customer to the intermediate table (2) whereas the delivery conveyor band (6) removes the articles listed in the cash register and allows the customer to collect his articles. Coaxially to the delivery conveyor band (6) a piling conveyor band (3) is mounted between the intermediate table (2) and said delivery conveyor, said piling conveyor band transferring the articles listed in the cash register from the intermediate table (2) to the delivery conveyor (6). The piling conveyor band (3) is of a width (b o) being greater than or equal to the width (b a) of the delivery conveyor band (1). At least the driving means (12) of the delivery conveyor band (6) is associated with a control circuit (14) including control means (15). This control means starts either manually or automatically the driving means (12) when some of or all the articles (10ª-10g) of a customer have piled up at the delivery end (3ª) of the piling conveyor band (3) and have been dis­ placed transverse to the longitudinal axis (8) of this conveyor band. The control means are further adapted to stop the driving means (12) when all the articles of a customer have been transferred to the delivery conveyor band (6). In this manner a check-out installation is obtained which is less space-requiring than the known installations and which allows the articles of a customer to be piled up on the delivery conveyor band in such a manner that the articles appear in lumps thereon and in such a manner that the customer need only reach out rather short for transferring his articles from the delivery conveyor band to his shopping cart or bag.
