Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly intended for control and recording of purchases made by a consumer in a self-service point of sale, and in particular using a container and / or trolley.
  • the control and recording stations used for this day have a treadmill on which the consumer unloads the goods contained in the carriage.
  • the cashier (hereinafter the operator) takes the items one by one to save them using a cash register which stores the price and the name of the article, mentioned by a code arranged on the item, called barcode.
  • the operator enters barcode information either manually or automatically using a laser reading device (to scan). The operation is thus continued until registration of all selected goods by the consumer, who then makes the payment for the total sum of the goods purchased. Payment is done on the same computer as the registration, and by through the same operator. Concomitantly, and more generally after the payment transaction, the consumer must recharge his cart to dispose of it either the articles themselves, or the latter arranged in plastic bags that the operator will have him provides as you register.
  • Unloading, registration, payment and the truck is loaded at the same station, and by the same operator. These operations must be done almost sequentially, and it results in an increase in the time required for each consumer to perform all of these operations; the consumer is therefore obliged to park a time relatively long at the checkout to perform these operations. Also, the unloading operations, registration and payment made by one person increase the complexity of the tasks at hand by a single operator.
  • the management of self-service stores must take into account the indelicacies, not only of customers, but also of staff, and more known as the "convenience truck", which consists, for an operator of checkout, to record items and / or prices that have no relation to those actually present in the cart and carried away by the consumer, colluding with the operator.
  • the current system does not effectively combat these actions.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and proposes a method and means of implementation, allowing a consumer register purchased items, pay the price, and leave the store after a reduced wait at minimum.
  • the method and the device of the invention aims also to optimize the management of personnel at the level of free shop exit controls service, both qualitatively and quantitatively, while improving safety and reducing risk of "carriage of convenience".
  • the assembly for the control and recording of purchases made by a consumer in a self-service point of sale such as comprising an unloading station for said purchases, from a cart and / or container, a workstation provided with means of recording and accounting entry of said purchases, and capable of being occupied by a person, further includes a loading station, said stations respective unloading and loading being placed substantially opposite each other and on each side said workstation, the unloading station comprising a first tray of unloading within the person's grasp occupying said work station, characterized in that the work station work is rotatably mounted on a vertical axis, view of turning the operational side either upstream, either downstream, allowing said workstation to be used interchangeably either by the consumer (in the upstream position), either by a operator of the point of sale (in the turned position downstream).
  • the loading station includes a location suitable for receiving a trolley.
  • said first tray being of a shape and dimension suitable for allowing the support and the stable maintenance of containers.
  • the first tray includes a part whose surface corresponds substantially to a container and is tilted, at least in a direction, towards said work station, a at least stop being provided for the container corresponding.
  • said unloading station includes a second plate, arranged on the side opposite to said first tray with respect to said work station, and comprising conveying members, such as rollers.
  • the set includes immobilization means temporary carriage in said location, such as a electro magnet.
  • said work station includes a operator's seat, slidably mounted between an active position for use by a operator, and a retracted position for consumer use.
  • the loading station comprises a tray, preferably retractable, for supporting the less temporary of a container, before its installation on the cart placed in the location of the loading.
  • the invention also relates to a unit for monitoring and recording purchases made by a consumer in a self-service point of sale, characterized in that it includes at least two sets such that described, and preferably three or four sets arranged side by side, around a central point and angularly offset according to a general form of either Y, either V, or chevron.
  • the unit also comprises at least one separate payment station located at a distance from said or of said set (s).
  • the invention also relates to a point of sale of the type self-service with at least two units such as described.
  • passages are planned for the consumer, and the width of about 90cm to allow passage cars for the disabled.
  • passages are provided between the post of payment 7 and barriers 4 and 5, respectively 9 and 10 through which the consumers leave the store towards the outlet, this displacement being symbolized by the arrows i, j.
  • passages are provided 11 and 12 respectively for customers and their cart, according to a direction of advancement symbolized by arrows k and 1, parallel to arrows i and j.
  • the unit 13 comprises three unloading assemblies, recording, checking and loading, arranged contiguously, and bearing the general references A, B and C.
  • Each set is made up of different elements bearing indices A, B and C, associated with references of each of the elements. So the set A includes an unloading station 14A, a work for the control and recording of goods, referenced 15A, and a loading station 16A.
  • the sets B and C likewise include a unloading respectively 14B and 14C, a work 15B and 15C, and a loading station 16B and 16C.

  • These immobilization means are preferably constituted an electrical circuit comprising an electromagnet 32 able to cooperate with a corresponding fixed plate on the cart. So when the carriage comes up against against the means 31, the metal plate placed on the carriage comes into contact with the electromagnet 32, this which immobilizes the trolley.
  • This immobilization temporary is not compulsory, but allows on the one hand avoid any untimely movement of the trolley when loading, and secondly to block the carriage for avoid any questionable or indelicate action of a consumer.
  • the control of the electromagnet is performed automatically through a contactor located in the center of the electromagnet support 32.
  • the contactor as soon as the truck plate abuts the electromagnet, causes feeding the latter, and therefore immobilizing the carriage.
  • the carriage is released the unloading station (for example 16A) by cutting the electromagnet supply.
