Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cash register for use in restaurants and shops.
  • cash registers have different requirements with regard to their usability.
  • cash registers in catering establishments so-called waiter cash registers
  • waiter cash registers are operated by a standing person, as it were, while a cashier sits in front of the cash register in a sales shop during the entire working hours.
  • the desire for application-specific equipment also relates to different storage and identification media such as drives for floppy disks or CD-ROM, connection options for electronic, electro-optical or electromechanical mass storage devices, for example according to the PCMCIA standard, or readers for Ma ⁇ magnetic stripe or chip cards with which a cashier identifies himself at the cash register.
  • the cash register housing would have to be changed for each equipment variant. Different structures make a cash register more expensive.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a compact register that can be adapted to different operating conditions with simple measures.
  • the optional equipment options with different keyboards or even with a combined display / input device not only allows an application-specific structure of a cash register, but also its simple subsequent retrofitting if a change in the application or new input devices requires this.
  • a flat screen with a so-called touch screen or a pen computer surface or with soft keys opens up new possibilities for use in the self-service area.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a cash register according to the invention in a perspective front view
  • FIG. 2 shows the cash register from FIG. 1 in a side view
  • FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a cash register according to the invention in a perspective front view

  • a power supply unit and the electronic cards known from a PC for example, which are required for controlling a cash register, are installed.
  • the connectors of the electronics cards protrude rearward from the lower part 12 and are accessible after the cable cover 42 has been removed.
  • the cash register is to be used as a waiter's cash register, no hand rest is required. So it can ne disadvantage for the user to be dispensed with a hand rest. The space is therefore available for additional buttons.
  • the operator display is brought into the position shown in solid line in FIG. 2 and designated 18, so that it can be easily read even by a standing person.
  • the cash register is used as a check-out cash register, fewer keys are sufficient and the cashier has a palm rest.
  • the operator display is expediently brought into the position 18 'shown in dash-dot lines in FIG. 2 and can be easily read by a seated person.
  • FIG. 3 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a cash register 100 in a perspective front view. This consists of a flat lower part 102 with a raised attachment 104. The front wall 106 of the attachment 104 is only shown schematically. It may be inclined in accordance with the front wall 16 of the cash register 10 and equipped with an operator display device. A cable cover 108 is provided in the rear area.
  • the front region 110 of the lower part of the cash register housing 102 slopes downwards towards the front.
  • This encloses a housing 112 (FIG. 4) made of metal, in the vertically sloping front wall 114 of which a chip card reader 116 and a disk drive 118 are installed.
  • the top of the housing 112 forms a cover plate 120, above which a keyboard surface 122, which is also made of sheet metal, is pivotably arranged.
  • a keyboard housing 124 is fastened on this, in which a keyboard 126, a swipe magnetic card reader 128 and a waiter lock 130 are accommodated.
  • a front area 132 of the keyboard surface 122 which projects beyond the housing 112 is bent downward, so that it comes to lie in front of the front wall 114 of the housing 112 and completely covers it.
  • the rear area of the keyboard surface 122 is bent downward to form a throat 134 running across its entire width and having a cross-sectional cross section.
  • the center line of the throat 134 coincides with a pivot axis 136 about which the keyboard surface 122 is pivotable.
  • the throat 134 is guided in a gap 138 between the cover plate 120 and a rib 140 formed on the attachment 104, the contact surface of which with the keyboard surface 122 is adapted to the circular section shape of the throat 134.
  • the cover plate 120 can be flat.
  • FIG. 5 shows the keyboard surface 122 together with the keyboard housing 124 attached to it in a folded-down position shown with solid lines and in a swiveled-up position shown in broken lines.
  • the front area 132 of the keyboard surface 122 covers the front wall 114 in the first-mentioned position and thus prevents access to the chip card reader 116 built into it and to the diskette drive 118.
  • FIG. 5 also shows that the pivot axis 136 of the keyboard surface 122 is so Far in front of the front wall 106 of the attachment 104 is that the rear edge 125 of the keyboard housing 124 does not collide with the front wall 106 or with elements built into it in any position.
  • the front area 132 of the keyboard surface 122 which is folded down, lies between projections 144 which are molded onto the lower part 102 at the front (FIG. 3).
  • a cover 146 (FIG. 5) placed on the front area 132 is flush with the projections 144 to the front, so that there is a cash register housing without disruptive projections.
  • a lock 148 is also built into the panel 146 and also penetrates the front area 132 of the keyboard surface 122, with which the keyboard surface 122 can be connected to the front wall 114. Unauthorized access to the chip card reader 116 or the floppy disk drive 118 can thus be reliably prevented.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show two different exemplary embodiments of a support device for the keyboard surface 122. These hold the keyboard surface 122 in its swiveled-up position on the one hand, so that devices installed in the front wall 114 of the housing 112 — in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 these are the chip card reader 116 and the diskette drive 118 — can be operated comfortably. On the other hand, when the keyboard surface 122 is folded down, it is prevented from hitting hard on the housing 112, which could lead to the destruction of a magnetic disk drive which is also built into the housing 112.
  • FIG. 6 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a support device for the keyboard surface 122 (a) in the folded-down position and (b) in the pivoted-up position.
  • a support 150 protruding at an angle of approximately 10 ° to the side is formed on each of the side edges of the front, bent region 132 of the keyboard surface 122.
  • the keyboard surface 122 is folded up, its lower end 152 is supported on the adjacent projection 144.
  • the operator has to use both hands (in FIG. shown) to grasp the keyboard housing 124 fastened thereon and to press the supports 150 towards one another with a free finger until they are aligned parallel to the adjacent projection 144.
  • the keyboard surface 122 can then be guided downward.
  • the supports 150 slide along the projections 144 under increased frictional resistance when pivoting down, which occurs under the action of an elastic restoring force of the laterally curved supports. This ensures a smooth transition of the keyboard surface 122 from the swung-up position to the folded-down position (FIG. 6a).
  • FIG. 7 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a support device for a keyboard surface 122 '(a) in the folded-down position and (b) in the pivoted-up position.
  • a tab 156 is formed on the right and left in the vicinity of the bending edge 154, around which the front region 132' of the keyboard surface 122 'is bent downwards.
  • a two-armed support lever 160 which is acted upon in the direction of the housing 112 by the force of a leg spring 158 and is pivotable about an axis 162 oriented parallel to the pivot axis 136 of the keyboard surface 122 ', is mounted on these.
  • a first leg 164 of the support lever 160 is supported on the cover plate 120 of the housing 112, the second leg 166 is bent downward.
  • the legs 164, 166 form an angle of approximately 60 °.
  • the keyboard surface 122 ' In its folded-down position (FIG. 7a), the keyboard surface 122 'is held by a lock 168 (FIG. 8) described below. If this locking is released, the support lever 160 rises under the driving force of the leg spring 158 and thereby brings the keyboard surface 122 'into its swung-up position (FIG. 7b) without having to be lifted by hand. In this position, the second leg 166 is supported on the front region 132 'of the keyboard surface 122' and thus limits the pivoting range of the support lever 160. To fold down, the keyboard surface 122 'is pressed down manually. The lower end of the first support lever leg 164 slides along the cover plate 120 with simultaneous tension of the leg spring 158. As in the exemplary embodiment of the support device according to FIG. 6, this arrangement also ensures a smooth transition of the keyboard surface 122 'from the swung-up position to the folded-down position (FIG. 7a). It also has the advantage of one-handed operability.
  • Figure 8 shows the lock 168 for the keyboard surface 122 'in a sectional side view.
  • the housing 112 contains a longitudinally displaceable slide 170 which is aligned parallel to the latter.
  • the slide 170 penetrates the front region 132' of the keyboard surface 122 ', where it is provided with a handle 174 .
  • a downward-pointing tongue 176 is formed on the slider 170, on the lower end of which a hook-shaped latching projection 178 is formed. In its locked position, this engages in a locking recess 180 in the front wall 114 of the housing 112.
  • the slide 170 is acted upon by an actuating force of a tension spring 172 directed in the direction of the housing 112. To unlock the slide 170 is moved in the direction of arrow A.
  • the locking projection 178 disengages from the locking recess 180 and the keyboard surface can swing upwards.
