The cash register terminal according to the representations in FIGS. 1 through 3 includes one on the front serving the user V ergonomically bulging, bulging forward Housing 1 with an attachment part 44, in which the for the function of important assemblies are housed: four large coin containers 2 on the right with underneath arranged vibratory conveyor 50 and turntable 34 for the coins 17; a small coin container 5 for Intermediate sorts to the left of the large coin containers 2; a sorting drive 9 for coins 17 above the coin container 2; a coin lift 3 with his horizontal coin conveyor line 33 under the coin containers 2, 5 and up to the attachment part 44 of the Housing 1 reaching vertical guide 15 left next to the small coin container 5 and one the guideways 15, 33 connecting deflection path 35; a coin cup 11 in the top part 44 to the left of the top End of the vertical guideway 15 of the coin lift 3; a coin receiving container 51 in the middle of the attachment part 44; a banknote acceptance 7 on the right Side of the attachment part 44; a bill change change edition 4 below or in front of the coin cup 11 at the top End of a bill processing device 68; one Coin change money box 52 and a foreign coin issue 6 in the center of the housing 1; a customer computer 8 with display and touchscreen in the middle on the front V of the attachment part 44 and an administration computer 10 to control all functions the rear R of the housing shown in Fig. 3 1, on which several lockable and pivoting doors 45 on the housing 1 and an outlet 21 for filling coins are arranged in bags.

The coin lift 3 is now horizontal and vertical Guide track 33 and 15 described in more detail. The Coins 17 pass from a coin container 2 onto one provided with a vibration generator 36, below of the coin container 2 arranged coin bowl 23 and thence to the adjoining one, by means of a drive motor 59 via a belt drive 65 driven turntable 34 (Fig.7), from there to the subsequent lower horizontal guideway 33 (Fig. 4), via a quarter-circular deflection path 35 (Fig. 4) on the vertical guideway 15 (Fig. 4, 5th and 6). The horizontal guideway 33, the deflection path 35 and the vertical guideway 15 consist of Steel strip with guide rails attached on both sides 46, 47, whose distance is slightly larger than the diameter the largest coin to be conveyed 17.On the guide rails 46, 47 guides 48 are screwed on, the inner edges of which are closer together stand as the distance between the inner edges of the guide rails 46, 47. It is thus on the guideways 15, 33 and the deflection path 35, the guide rails 46, 47 and the guides 48 a C or U-shaped Guide channel 43 for coins 17 is formed (Fig. 5, 6). The guide channel 43 is between one left leading edge 40 and a right leading edge 41 (dashed lines in Fig. 5, 6) is formed.

To allow the coins 17 over the outlets 19 and 20 can be spent must be ensured be that the coins 17 on the right leading edge 41 run as a reference edge. This is done by a in the vertical guideway 15 arranged chicane 39 causes. This is due to bulges of the leading edges 40, 41 up to the outer edges 42, 43 are formed. The distance D between that in the area of the chicane 39 lying outer edges 42, 43 of the bulges of the Leading edges 40, 41 are chosen so that the smallest coin 17 to be conveyed to the right as the reference edge serving right guide edge 41 is steered and do not walk straight through the chicane 39 can. This ensures that the coins 17 are located on the right leading edge 41. Due to the slight incline of the transport belt 49 on the right leading edge serving as reference edge 41 to achieve that the coins 17 the do not leave the right leading edge 41.

Since the static friction between the by pulleys 66th and resilient pressure rollers 67 guided transport belts 49 and the coins 17 is greater than the sliding friction between the coins 17 and the guideways 33, 15 and the diversion path 35, the coins 17th almost horizontally slip-free at first, then in the area of the quarter-circular deflection track 35 in redirected a vertical direction and then vertically upwards along the vertical guideway 15 promoted, due to the greater static friction between coin 17 and conveyor belt 49 and the lower sliding friction between coin 17 and guideways 15, 33 a problem-free vertical conveying the coins 17 to the top outlet 38 of the vertical Guideway 15 and then to the outlet 21 (Fig. 3) on the Rear R of the cash register for filling Coins 17 in bags.

In the area of the lower horizontal guideway 33 can by means of a detection and not shown Counting device a detection and counting of the coins 17 are done while sorting and issuing the Coins 17 in the area of the vertical guideway 15 (Fig. 4) in the coin lift 3. The horizontal and vertical guideways 33, 15 are identical built up. The transport belt 49 are by a Chain drive 16 operated by the drive motor 59 pulling driven. According to the representation in 6 shows the vertical guideway 15 of the Coin lift 3 has a sorting device 12. On at this point it is decided individually for each coin 17, whether this remains on the guideway 15 or is sorted out via one of the outlets 19, 20, 38.

As soon as the arranged in the horizontal guideway 33 Detection and counting device a coin 17 has determined that remain on the guideway 15 sorting is ordered. After this this coin 17 is a second detection device 53 has passed in the vertical guideway 15, the sorting device 12 is activated, i.e. it an electromagnet arranged in it is excited, one horizontal pin 14 into the guideway 15 the coin 17 moves so that the coin 17 of the as Reference edge serving leading edge 41 and thus from the guideway 15 is deflected. The coin 17th tilts into the outlet opening 19 and is through the coin rejection element 18 on a slide, not shown directed and from there to the sorting drive 9 (Fig. 1) returned.

The ones passed by the sorting device 12 Coins 17 become the outlet 20 for the money return promoted and can be promoted into a shaft be opened by a servo motor 22 or is closed. The customer can get out of the shaft remove the requested coins 17. If the money return shaft is closed, the coins are 17th to outlet 38 at the end of the vertical track 15 promoted and removed via the outlet 21 (Fig. 3) and possibly in the casino slot machines returned. The outlet 21 is on the rear R of the cash register (Fig. 3) arranged and for the Not accessible to customers. An emptying that becomes necessary of the coin container 2 is from the back R of the cash register terminal by the operator via a operating console trained there. About this can coin types can also be selected and filled.

With a deposit or withdrawal requested by the customer of coins or banknotes are used by the computer 8 for the customers and from computer 10 for administration all necessary commands to the modules of the POS terminal spent on the deposit or withdrawal perform.

When coins 17 are paid out by the customer a banknote in the banknote acceptance 7 on the right front V of the attachment part 44 entered. On the display with the touchscreen of the computer 8 desired coin type selected. Thereupon Coins 17 from one of the four coin containers 2 by means of of the associated vibratory conveyor 50 (Fig. 7) on the Turntable 34 on the horizontal track 33 of the Funded for coin lifts 3, from which the coins arrive 17 through outlet 38 at the top of the vertical Guideway 15 in the coin cup 11. The coin lift 3 is based on the selected and issued amount of coins stopped. The rest of the money returned when making a deposit is done in a similar manner, with the coins 17 over the outlet 20 are output.

The sorting device 12 (FIG. 6) is required around only those coins 17 to the outlets 20, 38 (Fig. 6) that are desired for output. This is necessary because the coin container 2 are open on one side and cannot be locked and at any time Unwanted coins 17 get into the coin lift 3 can. Who got into the coin lift 3 unintentionally Coins 17 are over the sorting device 12 abandoned on the sorting drive 9 (Fig. 1) and from there sorted again into the coin container 2

Exist in conventional self-service checkout terminals Bottlenecks due to the insufficient absorption capacity the coin container 2, which is often emptied too quickly or are overcrowded and disrupt operations. By a special training of the four large coin containers 2 (Fig. 7) and the area of the takeover of the Coins 17 from the turntable 34 onto the lower guideway 33 of the coin lift 3 and by the arrangement the coin container 2 in the lower area of the cash register it is achieved that the coin container 2 a can hold a sufficiently large amount of coins and thus reliable operation of the POS terminal guarantee. By shifting the focus in the lower area of the cash register The size of the coin container 2 is chosen almost arbitrarily become.

7 is a portion of the lower area of the coin case 2 in the first embodiment with the coin outlet 29 on the money bowl 23 and the Connection to the money bowl 23 shown. The coin box 2 is for the inclusion and delivery of a larger one Lot of coins 17 formed with a heavy weight. The coin container 2 is emptied by means of of the vibratory conveyor 50. For conveying by means of vibration generators 36 usually becomes a counterweight to the mass of the coin container 2, including therein located coins 17, which is larger than the mass of coin container 2 and located therein Coins 17. To enable a compact design, can the weight of the coins 17 and the coin container 2 can be intercepted to ensure the counterweight the full functionality of the vibratory conveyor Minimize 50.

To catch the coin weight is in the coin container 2 a roof-shaped baffle 24 arranged so that its essentially perpendicular to each other Side plates 27 with their free end faces 28 outside of that formed by the coin outlet 29 Bottom outlet of the coin container 2 are as it Dashed line 30 (Fig. 7) shows. This will make the Coin print caught on the side and on the side walls 32, 37 of the coin container 2 the coin outlet 29 or the bottom opening of the coin container 2 lying money bowl 23 is relieved. At defective vibrator 36, the coin container 2 by folding down a front side wall Open 37 or door 63 so that it can be removed easily the coins 17 is possible.

The baffle 24 is adjustable through an elongated hole 31 and is at a distance d from the bottom opening 29 of the coin container 2 set, the at least is twice the largest diameter in the Coin container 2 located coins 17. This will a wedging of the coins 17 in from the oblique Surfaces 32 of the coin container 2 formed coin outlet funnel prevented.

The money bowl 23 becomes independent of the coin container 2 via the vibration generator 36 and via spring elements 25 shaken. By arranging the baffle 24 in the coin container 2 and the result achieved Catching the weight of the coins ensures that necessary counterweight fixed to the housing 26 below the Money bowl 23 has a much smaller mass must be as the filled coin container 2. The counterweight 26 is with the chassis 69 via rubber buffers 51 connected.

With a self-service checkout terminal, it is very It is important that incorrect operation does not result in decommissioning to lead. To prevent jams by throwing in To avoid foreign bodies, such as crown caps or the like, is the turntable 34 of the sorting drive 9 (FIG. 5) with one not shown in this embodiment Folding mechanism equipped. About the folding mechanism the turntable 34 is emptied and be content with foreign objects to the customer in the money return tray 6 (Fig. 1) returned.

For processing coins and banknotes in the POS terminal installed assemblies are alike for the customer area on the front V (Fig. 1) as well as for the operator area on the Rear R (Fig. 3) of the cash register can be used. Of the The operator of the cash register can be seen from the rear R the emptying of the cash register terminal without interference its operability during operation the front side V accessible to the customer (FIG. 1) make. The customer area has priority Emptying process of the coin container 2 is interrupted, if a customer from the front V from the container currently in the emptying 2 coins 17 requests. Processing the customer's request is only delayed briefly, namely until the emptying process interrupted and the priority of Customer requests have become effective.

In one embodiment of the invention is the possibility the return of the by the customer to the POS terminal amount of money brought in for control purposes intended. The customer can use the touchscreen of the computer 8 effect the return of his inserted coins 17, to e.g. the counting and the display of the amount of money on the display of the computer 8 through to control a repetition of the process. To is next to as shown in Fig. 1 the big coin boxes 2 the small coin box 5 with a not shown opening in the floor intended. The coins brought in by the customer 17 fall on the sorting drive 9 and are after Counting process via a special sorting opening in the Coin container 5 transported. If the customer is on amount of money shown on the display of the computer 8 not accepted by a corresponding key touch, the bottom flap is in the small coin container 5 opened, and the coins 17 fall on the horizontal guideway 33, on which this over the vertical guideway 15 onto the sorting drive 9 transported up and from there into the coin containers 2 can be sorted.

If the customer displays the 8 displayed amount by corresponding key touch not accepted, the coins 17 from the coin container 5 ejected onto the horizontal guideway 33 and from there via the vertical guideway 3 conveyed upwards into the cup 11.

Figures 8, 9 and 10 show the large coin container 2 in an alternative embodiment, at through the roof-shaped baffle 24 according to FIG. 7 replaced a plurality of oblique baffles 60 is from the outside through slots in the Inserted side walls 61 of the coin container 2 and are welded to the side walls 61 so that on the inside of the coin container 2 none Screw connections that prevent coin flow are present. The individual baffles 60 are shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 designed differently and each obliquely arranged below aligned with the coin outlet 29. The oblique baffles 60 serve to support the weight of the support coins 17 located in the coin container 2, about deadlocks, like bridging the coins 17 to avoid. The coin outlet 29 itself is arcuate or round, as shown in Fig. 9 is. This causes the coins to flow favorably 17 on the respectively below the coin container 2 located money bowl 23 with vibratory conveyor 50.

8 shows one to the left of the coin outlet 29 downward hanging rubber tab 62, which the Coin guidance on the money bowl 23 is used. Further is on the left side of the coin container shown in Fig. 8 2 a door 63 is arranged, which in one in its lower area, essentially horizontal arranged axis is pivotable to in the Coin holder 2 to remove jams intervene. An approach projecting downwards in FIG. 8 64 of the door 63 serves to prevent the coins from falling out 17 to prevent when opening the door 63.

Figures 11 to 13 show that below the coin container 2 located vibratory conveyor 50 with the associated money trays 23 and associated with them Flaps 54, the turntable underneath 34 of the coin lift 3 surrounded in a U-shape. The below of each coin container 2 arranged money bowls 23 are on the rear side of the housing 1 through Angle plates 55 covered. Below the money cups 23 are the vibration generators 36 of the respective Money bowl 23 arranged over the rocking spring elements 25 (Fig. 13) and rubber buffers with spring elements are hinged to the counterweight 26 fixed to the housing. The assigned to each vibratable money bowl 23 Flaps 54 are mounted on hinges 56 fixed to the housing and by means of servomotors fixed to the housing 57 pivoted. The one on the free exit side the respective vibrating money bowl 23 arranged flat flaps 54 are used for prevention the outflow of coins 17 from each vibrating Money bowl 23 in which the flaps 54 themselves regardless of the vibrating money bowl 23 on the Hinges 56 are mounted on the housing. Not until Emptying the respective vibrating money bowl 23 the respective flap 54 is placed on the turntable 34 folded down by the servo motor 57 to the coin flow to effect on the turntable 34.
