Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for theft protection by means of an inlet and outlet control in salesrooms, in particular in a supermarket, with an inlet device having a first scale, an outlet device having a second scale, a cashier device and an associated goods transport device, in particular a conveyor belt a zone for depositing the goods on the goods transport device (lay-on zone) and an adjacent zone for paying for the goods (payment zone).
  • the invention further relates to a method for theft protection in sales rooms according to the preamble of claim 12.
  • the object of the present invention is to further improve the known anti-theft device and the method for this, and in particular to largely rule out possible errors and manipulations during the weighing process.
  • the arrangement according to the invention achieves the object in that the payment zone is separated from the lay-on zone and can only be reached in the outlet device after passing the second scale.
  • customers place the goods on a conveyor belt and pay for them immediately afterwards.
  • the arrangement according to the invention brings about a spatial and procedural separation of the placing of the goods and the payment thereof. After placing the goods on the goods transport device, the customer must determine his weight in the area of the outlet device. Only then can the payment process take place in a payment zone separate from the lay-on zone. It is therefore only paid after the customer's weight has been determined. Weight differences due to changes in the amount of cash in the customer's possession due to the payment process are excluded. There are also manipulations by not placing individual goods on the goods transport device not possible.
  • the outlet device with the second scale advantageously has a shield against the goods transport device. A person in the outlet device should not have access to the goods on the goods transport device.
  • the starting device is arranged at a distance from the goods transport device and a lock is provided between the lay-on zone and the payment zone.
  • the spatial distance from the outlet device to the goods transport device alone prevents any attempts at manipulation. Due to the barrier provided, passage from the lay-on zone to the payment zone is only possible via the outlet device.
  • the arrangement described also enables people who have not bought and paid nothing to leave the sales area easily. These people can pass through the outlet device without having to go through the otherwise narrowly designed checkout area.
  • An arrangement for theft protection in sales rooms has an inlet device 10 with a first scale 11, a barrier 12 and a ticket dispenser 13.
  • the inlet device 10 has two upright walls 14, 15 formed between which a passage with an input 16 and an output 17 is formed.
  • the scale 11 with a weighing platform 18 is also provided between the walls 14, 15 or the entrance 16 and the exit 17.
  • the ticket dispenser 13, the barrier 12 and the walls 14, 15 are mechanically coupled to the weighing platform 18 so that forces acting on the former are transmitted to the weighing platform 18. This makes manipulation by support impossible.
  • the ticket dispenser is arranged on the wall 14, while the barrier 12 is articulated on the wall 15.
  • a light signal system 19 is arranged upstream as a signal device. Access to the inlet device 10 is controlled by optical signals, such as a red or green light. Only one person should step onto the weighing platform 18 at a time.
  • the light signal system 19 is correspondingly coupled to the weighing platform 18 and the barrier 12.
  • the inlet device 10 is positioned next to a cashier device 20 and has a passage 21 for shopping carts on the side next to the wall 14. It is also possible to arrange the inlet device 10 elsewhere, for example as a central inlet area for a larger supermarket and independently of the arrangement of the checkout devices.
  • the ticket dispenser 13 is electronically coupled to the scale 11 and the barrier 12 and issues a data carrier with the weight of the customer and a consecutive number to the customer standing on the weighing platform 18.
  • the data carrier can be designed as a plastic or cardboard card.
  • the data can be stored as a bar code or on a magnetic stripe.
  • a card having a microchip is preferably used, similar to the already known telephone cards. The microchip can always be reprogrammed using the ticket dispenser.
  • the card can therefore be used several times.
  • an outlet device 22 is provided with a scale 23 or weighing platform 24, a ticket control device 25 as well as walls 28, 29 defining an entrance 26 and an exit 27 and a barrier 30. From the sales area, the outlet device 22 is preceded by a light signal system 31, through which the access is in turn controlled.
  • the outlet device 22 is arranged near the cashier device 20, in the present case at a distance from it and shielded from the cashier device 20 by the wall 28.
  • the checkout device 20 is assigned a goods transport device, in this case a conveyor belt 32 with a subsequent goods shaft 33.
  • a goods transport device in this case a conveyor belt 32 with a subsequent goods shaft 33.
  • the customer should place the goods on the conveyor belt 32 and remove them from the goods shaft 33 after payment.
  • Near the conveyor belt 32 there is a so-called lay-up zone 34 for placing the goods on the conveyor belt 32 and a payment zone 35 for paying for the goods.
  • the payment zone 35 is located approximately next to the transition from the conveyor belt 32 to the goods chute 33 or at the end of the conveyor belt.
  • the outlet device 22 is now arranged at a distance from the conveyor belt 32 which corresponds approximately to the space required by the lay-on zone 34 and the payment zone 35.
  • the latter are separated from one another by a lock 36. This is designed as a push-through for a shopping cart.
  • the checkout device 20 is preceded by a light signal system 37 in the interior of the sales room and at a distance of approximately 1 m. This controls access to the lay-on zone 34.
  • the light signal system 37 is laterally offset from the light signal system 31 and also points a greater distance than this from the outlet device 22.
  • a typical shopping process with weight control works as follows: The customer enters the sales area through the inlet device 10. When the light signal system 19 is green, the customer steps onto the weighing platform 18. The connected ticket dispenser 13 issues a ticket with the customer weight and a serial number. After the ticket has been removed, the barrier 12 can be opened or opens by a motor. A shopping cart can be carried through the passage 21.
  • the customer With a corresponding signal from the light signaling system 37, the customer can get into the placement zone 34 and place the goods from his shopping cart on the conveyor belt 32. The empty shopping cart is finally pushed through the lock 36 designed as a push-through.
  • the customer himself must pass the outlet device 22 arranged laterally next to the lock 36, again depending on a signal from the light signaling device 31.
  • Standing on the weighing platform 24, the customer must insert his ticket into the ticket control device 25 connected to the weighing platform 24.
  • a comparison is then made between the current customer weight and the weight registered on the ticket. With a weight tolerance of less than 20 to 50 g, the barrier 30 opens and the customer goes with his ticket to the payment zone 35, which is separated from the laying zone 34 by the lock 36.
  • the goods have reached the area of the payment zone 35 or the shaft 33 on the conveyor belt 32.
  • the payment process takes place in the payment zone 35 and the checkout staff accepts the customer's ticket. After paying, the customer receives his receipt and can remove the goods from the slot 33.
  • the serial number of the ticket is printed on the receipt, so that an assignment between Customer and goods are present.
  • the order number of the ticket is entered in the cash register either when the goods are placed in the laying zone 34 or only when the payment is made in the payment zone 35.
  • the separation of the outlet device 22 from the checkout device 20 enables customers who do not want to buy goods to leave the sales area easily. Queuing at the cash register is not necessary. Due to the arrangement described and the use of the barriers 12, 30, strollers and wheelchair users can easily enter and leave the sales area.
  • the barriers are also particularly well suited for large goods, for example in hardware stores.
  • a turnstile is provided instead of the barrier 12 or 30, which is preferably mechanically coupled to the weighing platform. Resting on the turnstile will not affect weight measurement. The weight measurement only takes place in a certain turnstile position. After the measurement and the removal of a ticket, the turnstile is released again.
  • an outlet device 22 is assigned two checkout devices with a conveyor belt, goods chute, lay-on zone, payment zone and lock.
  • the checkout devices are arranged approximately mirror images of one another, while the outlet device 22 stands between the two checkout devices.
  • a lock with a push-through carriage is then arranged to the left and right of the outlet device.
