Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kassieranlage für Waren mit einem Kassentisch und einer Laufbandeinheit, deren einer Endbereich mit dem Kassentisch durch Verschrauben verbunden ist. Kassieranlagen dieser Art sind beschrieben in den Druckschriften DE 297 18 896 U, DE 299 10 640 U DE 299 17 555 U, und US 2 723 728 A.The invention relates to a cashier for goods with a checkout counter and a treadmill unit, one end of which is connected to the counter by screwing. Cash dispensers of this type are described in the publications DE 297 18 896 U, DE 299 10 640 U DE 299 17 555 U, and US 2 723 728 A.

Bei solchen Kassieranlagen erfolgt die Befestigung der Laufbandeinheit am Kassentisch üblicherweise mittels Schrauben, die von unten durch Löcher in einer horizontalen Auflage des Kassentisches gesteckt und dann in Gewindebohrungen an der Unterseite des auf der Anlage abgestellten einen Endbereichs der Laufbandeinheit geschraubt werden. Hierbei ist allerdings eine eindeutige Ausrichtung der Laufbandeinheit in Längsrichtung, also in Förderrichtung des Laufbandes, in Bezug auf den Kassentisch nicht oder nur schwer möglich.In such cashiers attaching the treadmill unit at the checkout usually takes place by means of screws which are inserted from below through holes in a horizontal support of the cash desk and then screwed into threaded holes on the bottom of the parked on the plant one end of the treadmill unit. In this case, however, a clear alignment of the treadmill unit in the longitudinal direction, ie in the conveying direction of the treadmill, with respect to the cash desk is not possible or only with difficulty.

Außerdem können nach dem Anziehen der Schrauben meist keine höhenversatzfreien Flächen zwischen einer sich an das Ende des Laufbandes anschließenden Sicherheitsklappe und einer in Förderrichtung folgenden Abstellfläche des Kassentisches gewährleistet werden, da ein Ausgleich von insofern maßgebenden Fertigungstoleranzen nicht möglich ist.In addition, after tightening the screws usually no height offset surfaces between a subsequent to the end of the treadmill safety flap and a following in the conveying direction storage area of the cash desk be guaranteed, since a balance of so far relevant manufacturing tolerances is not possible.

Des Weiteren werden Längskräfte, die durch das Anfahren und Abbremsen des Laufbandes hervorgerufen werden, durch Reibungskräfte an den Kassentisch weitergeleitet, so dass es passieren kann, dass sich die Laufbandeinheit in Richtung des Kassentisches bewegt und hierdurch ein Öffnen der Sicherheitsklappe nicht mehr möglich wird, weil der zum Aufschwenken der Sicherheitsklappe erforderliche Spalt zwischen dieser und dem gegenüberliegenden Korpusteil des Kassentisches zu eng wird und nicht bzw. nicht mehr präzise genug eingestellt werden kann.Furthermore, longitudinal forces caused by the start-up and deceleration of the treadmill are transmitted by frictional forces to the checkout counter, so that it can happen that the treadmill unit moves in the direction of the checkout counter and thus opening of the safety flap is no longer possible because the gap required to swing open the safety flap this and the opposite body part of the checkout counter is too tight and can not or can not be adjusted precisely enough.

Der Aufgabe der Erfindung entsprechend sollen die aufgezeigten Schwachpunkte der bekannten Anlagen abgestellt werden. Insbesondere soll die Laufbandeinheit und somit das Laufband im Verhältnis zum Kassentisch einfach und genau durch entsprechendes Justieren eingestellt und die erreichte Einstellung fixiert werden können. Dies gilt natürlich hiermit zusammenhängend insbesondere für den vorerwähnten Spalt, damit die Funktion der Sicherheitsklappe ständig gewährleistet ist.The object of the invention, the identified weak points of the known systems should be turned off. In particular, the treadmill unit and thus the treadmill should be adjusted in relation to the checkout counter simply and accurately by appropriate adjustment and the setting achieved can be fixed. Of course, this applies, in particular, for the aforementioned gap, so that the function of the safety flap is constantly ensured.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird die einleitend erwähnte Kassieranlage erfindungsgemäß so ausgebildet, dass mindestens eine Stellschraube relativ zu einer ortsfesten Wand des Kassentisches frei verdrehbar ist, in eine der Laufbandeinheit zugeordnete Gewindebohrung geschraubt ist und sich mit einer Anlagefläche an einer der Laufbandeinheit zugekehrten vertikalen Anlagefläche der Wand abstützt und dass mindestens eine ebenfalls in eine Gewindebohrung der Laufbandeinheit geschraubte Sicherungsschraube vorgesehen ist, die sich auf einer der erwähnten Anlagefläche der Wand gegenüberliegenden Innenfläche der Wand abstützt und mit ihrem Schaft durch eine Bohrung in dieser Wand greift.To solve this problem, the aforementioned cashier system according to the invention is designed so that at least one screw is freely rotatable relative to a fixed wall of the cash desk, is screwed into one of the treadmill unit associated threaded bore and with a contact surface on one of the treadmill unit facing vertical contact surface of the wall supported and that at least one also screwed into a threaded bore of the treadmill unit security screw is provided, which is supported on one of the mentioned abutment surface of the wall opposite inner surface of the wall and engages with its shaft through a hole in this wall.

Jede zur Anwendung kommende Stellschraube wird zweckmäßigerweise als Zylinderkopfschraube ausgebildet, die mit ihrem Kopf in einer in der erwähnten Wand vorgesehenen Rundbohrung steckt und deren Anlagefläche durch einen umlaufenden Bund gebildet ist, dessen Durchmesser größer ist als der Durchmesser des Schraubenkopfes.Each set screw used is expediently designed as a cylinder head screw, which is inserted with its head in a wall provided in the above-mentioned round hole and the contact surface is formed by a circumferential collar whose diameter is greater than the diameter of the screw head.

Im Hinblick auf die Anzahl der zur Anwendung kommenden Stell- und Sicherungsschrauben bietet die Erfindung diverse Möglichkeiten. So kann es insbesondere dann, wenn die Laufbandeinheit etwa durch Unterschränke und dergleichen zusätzlich abgestützt wird, genügen, wenn die Verbindung zwischen Laufbandeinheit und Kassentisch jeweils über eine Stellschraube und eine Sicherungsschraube hergestellt wird, die dann in relativ geringem Abstand zur vertikalen Längsmittelebene der Laufbandeinheit. oder sonst übereinander in dieser Längsmittelebene liegend angeordnet werden.With regard to the number of adjusting and locking screws used, the invention offers various possibilities. So In particular, when the treadmill unit is additionally supported by lower cabinets and the like, for example, it suffices if the connection between treadmill unit and cash desk is respectively produced by an adjusting screw and a securing screw which is then at a relatively small distance from the vertical longitudinal center plane of the treadmill unit. or else be arranged one above the other in this longitudinal center plane lying.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht beispielsweise darin, beiderseits der vorerwähnten Längsmittelebene und mit gleichem Abstand hierzu jeweils eine Stellschraube und mittig zwischen diesen Stellschrauben eine einzelne Sicherungsschraube vorzusehen.Another possibility is, for example, both sides of the aforementioned longitudinal median plane and at the same distance to each provide an adjusting screw and centrally between these screws a single locking screw.

Eine aus Festigkeitsgründen vorteilhafte Möglichkeit besteht auch darin, dass zwei jeweils von einer Stellschraube und einer im Abstand zu dieser Stellschraube befindlichen Sicherungsschraube gebildetes Schraubenpaar spiegelbildlich symmetrisch zur senkrechten Längsmittelebene der Laufbandeinheit angeordnet werden.A possibility which is advantageous for reasons of strength also consists in that two screw pairs formed in each case by an adjusting screw and a locking screw located at a distance from this adjusting screw are arranged in mirror image symmetry with respect to the vertical longitudinal center plane of the treadmill unit.

Die Stell- und Sicherungsschrauben sowie alle zugehörigen Gewindebohrungen können mit ihren Längsachsen auf gleichem horizontalen und fest vorgegebenen Niveau angeordnet sein, um zu erreichen, dass bei der Montage der Laufbandeinheit diese zwangsläufig in horizontaler Ebene korrekt ausgerichtet und justiert wird.The adjusting and locking screws and all associated threaded holes can be arranged with their longitudinal axes on the same horizontal and fixed predetermined level, in order to ensure that during assembly of the treadmill unit this is necessarily aligned and adjusted correctly in the horizontal plane.

Die stirnseitig in einer senkrechten Wand am betreffenden Ende der Laufbandeinheit vorzusehenden Gewindebohrungen werden durch Gewindebuchsen gebildet, die in Bohrungen der erwähnten Wand der Laufbandeinheit stecken und mit dieser Wand bleibend sicher vernietet sind.The front side to be provided in a vertical wall at the respective end of the treadmill unit threaded holes are formed by threaded bushings which plug into holes in the aforementioned wall of the treadmill unit and are riveted securely with this wall.

Die jeweiligen Bohrungen in der betreffenden vertikalen Wand des Kassentisches und die Gewindebohrungen bzw. Gewindebuchsen an der Laufbandeinheit werden werksseitig insbesondere im Hinblick auf ihr Niveau im Verhältnis zum vorgesehen Niveau des Laufbandes und der Sicherheitsklappe exakt vorgefertigt, so dass nach Herstellung der Schraubverbindungen ein ungewollter Höhenversatz des Laufbandes und der Sicherheitsklappe relativ zur anschließend Abstellfläche des Kassentisches quasi durch automatisch bzw. selbsttätig erfolgende Höhenjustierung vermieden wird.The respective holes in the relevant vertical wall of the cash desk and the threaded holes or threaded bushes on the treadmill unit are factory prefabricated in particular with regard to their level in relation to the provided level of the treadmill and the safety flap exactly, so that after production of the screw an unwanted height offset of Treadmill and the safety flap is avoided relative to the subsequent storage area of the cashier desk quasi by automatically or automatically taking place height adjustment.

Außer dieser Zwangsführung in vertikaler Richtung ergibt sich durch die Stellschrauben auch eine Zwangsführung des Laufbandeinheit in horizontaler Richtung und die Möglichkeit, die Weite des zum Ausschwenken der Sicherheitsklappe erforderlichen Spalts durch mehr oder weniger weites Verdrehen der von der Rückseite der vertikalen Kassentischwand zugänglichen einen oder anderen Stellschraube und die dabei erfolgende Verstellung der Laufbandeinheit relativ zum Kassentisch gleichmäßig einstellen zu können. Schließlich kann die so einjustierte Position nachfolgend durch Anziehen der Sicherungsschrauben fixiert werden.In addition to this positive guidance in the vertical direction results from the screws and a forced operation of the treadmill unit in the horizontal direction and the possibility of the width of the required to swing the safety flap gap by more or less wide rotation of the accessible from the back of the vertical cash desk one or the other screw and be able to adjust the thereby occurring adjustment of the treadmill unit relative to the checkout evenly. Finally, the so adjusted position can be fixed by tightening the locking screws.

Die Kassieranlage besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Kassentisch 1 und einer Laufbandeinheit 2, die von ihrem allgemeinen Aufbau und ihrer Art und Ausstattung her gesehen aus den einleitend erwähnten Druckschriften an sich bekannt sind und deshalb insofern nicht weiter beschrieben werden.The check-out system consists essentially of a checkout counter 1 and a treadmill unit 2, which are known from their general structure and their nature and equipment from the introductory mentioned publications known per se and therefore are not described further.

Am Kassentisch 1 ist eine vorn und oben offene Nische 3 vorgesehen, in die der mit dem Kassentisch zu verbindende eine Endbereich (Fig. 3) der Laufbandeinheit 2 etwa von der in Fig. 1 zu sehende Lage in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Einbaulage gebracht wird.On the cash desk 1, a niche 3 open at the front and the top is provided into which the one end area (FIG. 3) of the treadmill unit 2 is brought approximately from the position to be seen in FIG. 1 into the installation position shown in FIG becomes.

Am Kassentisch 1 ist eine vertikale Wand 4 angebracht, die eine Stirnseite der Nische 3 begrenzt und mit der die Laufbandeinheit 2 und speziell eine ebenfalls vertikale Wand 5 dieser Einheit durch Schrauben verbunden wird, wie noch später beschrieben wird.On the cash desk 1, a vertical wall 4 is attached, which limits an end face of the niche 3 and with which the treadmill unit 2 and especially a likewise vertical wall 5 of this unit is connected by screws, as will be described later.

An das Laufband 6 schließt sich in Förderrichtung eine Sicherheitsklappe 7 an, die bei Betrachtung der Fig. 6 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden kann. Der für diese Klappenfunktion erforderliche Freiraum wird durch einen Spalt 8 zwischen dem einen Ende der Sicherheitsklappe 7 und dem benachbarten Bereich des Kassentisches 1 gewährleistet. Dieser Spalt ist relativ eng und muss nicht zuletzt deshalb exakt eingestellt werden können.The safety belt 7 adjoins the treadmill 6 in the conveying direction, which can be pivoted in the counterclockwise direction when viewing FIG. The required for this flap function Free space is ensured by a gap 8 between the one end of the safety flap 7 and the adjacent area of the cash desk 1. This gap is relatively narrow and not least therefore must be able to be set exactly.

Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Kassieranlage erfolgt die Verbindung der Laufbandeinheit 2 mit dem Kassentisch 1 mit zwei Schraubenpaaren, die jeweils aus einer Stellschraube 9 und einer Sicherungsschraube 10 bestehen und spiegelbildlich symmetrisch zur vertikalen Längsmittelebene 11 der Laufbandeinheit 2 (Fig. 3) angeordnet sind.In the illustrated embodiment of the cashier system, the connection of the treadmill unit 2 with the cash desk 1 with two pairs of screws, each consisting of an adjusting screw 9 and a locking screw 10 and mirror images symmetrical to the vertical longitudinal center plane 11 of the treadmill unit 2 (Fig. 3) are arranged.

In die vertikale Wand 5 der Laufbandeinheit 2 sind Gewindebohrungen für die Schrauben 9, 10 bildende Gewindebuchsen 12 eingelassen und mit dieser Wand zweckmäßigerweise einfach durch Vernieten verbunden. Die Stellschrauben 9 sind Zylinderkopfschrauben mit jeweils einer Scheibe bzw. einem umlaufenden Bund 13 zwecks Schaffung einer Anlagefläche 14, die sich Fig. 7 entsprechend an einer der Laufbandeinheit 2 zugekehrten vertikalen Anlagefläche 15 der Wand 4 des Kassentisches 1 abstützt, während der zylindrische und einen geringeren Durchmesser als der Bund 13 aufweisende Kopf 16 der Stellschraube 9 mit geringem Spiel jeweils in einer in der Wand 4 befindlichen Rundbohrung 17 steckt und in Bezug auf diese Wand mit einem Schlüssel frei verdreht werden kann.In the vertical wall 5 of the treadmill unit 2 threaded holes for the screws 9, 10 forming threaded sockets 12 are embedded and connected to this wall conveniently simply by riveting. The adjusting screws 9 are cylinder head bolts, each with a disc or a circumferential collar 13 for the purpose of creating a contact surface 14, the Fig. 7 according to one of the treadmill unit 2 facing vertical contact surface 15 of the wall 4 of the cash desk 1 is supported, while the cylindrical and a smaller Diameter than the collar 13 having head 16 of the adjusting screw 9 with a small clearance in each case in a wall 4 located in the round bore 17 inserted and can be freely rotated with respect to this wall with a key.

Die Sicherungsschrauben 10 greifen mit ihrem Gewindeschaft jeweils durch eine Rundbohrung 18 in der Wand 4 und stützen sich mit ihrem Kopf 19 auf der der Außenfläche bzw. Anlagefläche 15 gegenüberliegenden Innenfläche 20 dieser Wand ab. Sowohl die Stellschrauben 9 als auch die Sicherungsschrauben 10 sind von der Rückseite der Wand 4 her zugänglich. Im Übrigen sollen bei diesem Beispiel alle Schrauben und Gewindebohrungen mit einem Rechtsgewinde ausgestattet sein.The locking screws 10 engage with their threaded shank in each case through a round bore 18 in the wall 4 and are based with their head 19 on the outer surface or contact surface 15 opposite inner surface 20 of this wall. Both the screws 9 and the locking screws 10 are accessible from the back of the wall 4 ago. Incidentally, all screws and threaded holes should be equipped with a right-hand thread in this example.

Wenn nun die jeweilige Stellschraube 9 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn in ihrer zugeordneten Gewindebohrung verdreht wird und sich der Kopf 19 der benachbarten Sicherungsschraube 10 noch in einem gewissen Abstand zur Wand 4 befindet, drückt und bewegt die Stellschraube die Wand 5 und damit die Laufbandeinheit 2 von der ortsfesten Wand 4 und somit vom Kassentisch 1 weg, so dass der Abstand zwischen beiden Wänden 4, 5 und auch der Spalt 8 größer werden. Wenn das gewollte Maß der Weite des Spaltes 8 an dieser Stelle erreicht ist, wird mit der anderen Stellschraube 9 in entsprechender Weise verfahren, bis der Spalt 8 über seine gesamte Länge die gleiche erforderliche Weite hat.Now, if the respective screw 9 is rotated counterclockwise in its associated threaded hole and the head 19 of the adjacent locking screw 10 is still at a certain distance from the wall 4, presses and moves the screw the wall 5 and thus the treadmill unit 2 of the stationary Wall 4 and thus away from the cash desk 1, so that the distance between the two walls 4, 5 and also the gap 8 are larger. If the desired extent of the width of the gap 8 is reached at this point, is moved with the other screw 9 in a similar manner until the gap 8 has the same required width over its entire length.

Im Anschluss daran werden die Sicherungsschrauben 10 durch Verdrehen im Uhrzeigersinn so weit angezogen, dass ihre Köpfe 19 fest gegen die Innenfläche 20 der Wand 4 zur Anlage gelangen, wodurch schließlich die einjustierte Position der Laufbandeinheit 2 relativ zum Kassentisch 1 und die Weite des Spaltes 8 fixiert und gesichert werden, indem die Sicherungsschrauben 10 eine Verstellbewegung der Laufbandeinheit vom Kassentisch weg und die Stellschrauben 9 eine entgegengesetzt gerichtete Verstellbewegung verhindern.Thereafter, the locking screws 10 are tightened by turning clockwise so far that their heads 19 firmly against the inner surface 20 of the wall 4 come to rest, which finally fixes the adjusted position of the treadmill unit 2 relative to the cash desk 1 and the width of the gap 8 and be secured by the locking screws 10 prevent an adjustment of the treadmill unit from the cash desk and the screws 9 prevent an oppositely directed adjustment.

Es ist klar, dass sinngemäß entsprechend vorgegangen wird, wenn die Weite des Spaltes 8 durch Verdrehen der Stellschraube 9 im Uhrzeigersinn reduziert werden soll und nach einem solchen Vorgang die einjustierte Spaltweite wie beschrieben gesichert werden soll.It is clear that it will proceed accordingly, if the width of the gap 8 is to be reduced by turning the screw 9 in a clockwise direction and after such a process, the adjusted gap width is to be secured as described.
