DESCRIPTION

Hybrid cash position for a retail store, comprising a movement system configured to move said position between a first position and a second position.

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a service point (POS), comprising one or a plurality of cash stations for a retail store, and more particularly, to hybrid cash stations that can operate both in an employee-assisted mode and in a self-service mode, alternatively.

Prior art

A service point (POS) is often referred to as a location where operations are carried out in support of retail transactions.

A POS may be the point at which a customer makes a payment to a merchant in exchange for items. In addition, the merchant can calculate, in the POS, an amount owed by the customer and provide options for the customer to make the payment. A payment can be made, for example, in cash, by means of a credit card, a debit card or check. The merchant can also issue a receipt to the customer for the transaction.

To facilitate such retail transactions, a merchant can make use of one or more cash stations that present in particular scanners and payment terminals.

In most cases, a cash position is configured to operate in an employee-assisted mode in which the merchant (or a merchant's employee) scans each product for a customer and accepts payment for the customer's scanned products .

Such employee-assisted cash stations allow the merchant to interact personally with the customer.

Alternatively, in some cases, cash stations are configured to operate in a self-paid mode. In this mode, the customer has little or no interaction with the merchant, and performs the scanning and payment functions normally performed by the merchant.

Also known from European Patent Application 2 315 166 is a hybrid cash position that is configured to operate both in an employee-assisted mode and in a self-service mode, alternatively.

A hybrid cash stand of this type has a counter comprising a classification zone at the entrance of the post, a reception area configured to receive the customer and the items that the customer wishes to buy, a control zone that presents means to control the amount owed by the customer, and first and second payment areas that each have some means for payment.

The counter defines a first step configured to guide a customer from the entrance of the post to the exit of the post along the reception area, the control area and the first payment area; and an alternative second step configured to guide a customer from the entry of the post to the exit of the post along the second payment exit, not along the control zone.

An additional hybrid cash position is known from EP 2266443A.

Each of all other guiding elements 46 is sandwiched, in this case, between one of the side edges 64 of one of the second frames 42 and 43 and one of the side edges 54 of the first part 50 or the second part 51 of the first frame 41; in order to guide the lateral displacement of the first and second parts 51 and 52 in relation respectively to the second frames 42 and 43.

The drive device 44 is configured to move the first part 50 of the first frame 41 in relation to the second frame 42, while the drive device 45 is configured to move the second part 51 of the first frame 41 in relation to the second frame 43.

Each of the two drive devices 44 and 45 has a first end 70 and a second end 71 opposite the first end 70.

Each of the drive devices 44 and 45 comprises a body 72 formed at the respective first end 70, a cover 73 extending from the body 72, a first arm 74 that can be deployed from and retracted on the cover 73, an arm intermediate 75 that is articulated to the first arm 74, and a second arm 76 that is articulated to the intermediate arm 75 and is formed at the respective second end 71 (Figures 9, 10 and 12).

The body 72 is fixedly coupled to one of the two facing longitudinal edges 55 of the respective first part 50 or second part 51 of the first frame 41. The body 72 is therefore joined in a solidary manner to the floor 21.

In this case, the body 72 comprises a chamber and a movable piston in the chamber (not shown) and the first arm 74 is connected to the piston.

The intermediate arm 75 has a first end 80 articulated to a free end 77 of the first arm 74, and a second end 81 opposite the first end 80 and articulated to a first end 82 of the second arm 76.

The intermediate has an elongated shape comprising a bend close to the first end 80.

The intermediate arm 75 is further articulated to a respective support bar 62 formed in the first or second parts 50 and 51 of the first frame 41 thanks to a pivot joint 78 formed in both the intermediate arm 75 and the respective support bar 62 .

The second arm 76 has a second end 83 opposite the first end 81 and both are joined and articulated to one of the two facing longitudinal edges 65 of the respective second frame 42 or 43.

In this case, when the body 72 of the drive devices 44 and 45 is controlled to deploy or retract the first respective arm 74, the latter moves the respective intermediate arm 75 which is articulated to the first arm 74 and is pivoted in relation to the respective support bar 62, intermediate arm 75 that moves the second respective arm 76 that is articulated to the intermediate arm 75 and that causes the movement in the transfer of the first part 50 and the second part 51 of the first frame 41 in relation to the second frames 42 and 43, from the first position (figures 5 and 6) to the second position (figures 9 to 12) or from the second position (figures 9 to 12) to the first position (figures 5 and 6).

In this case, the drive devices 44 and 45, the first part 50 and the second part 51 of the first frame 41 and the second frames 42 and 43 are configured so that the first frame 41 rests in the tread area 17 of the counter 16 during its movement.

To configure the hybrid cash position 5 described above in an employee-assisted mode and in a self-service mode, alternatively, the merchant has to control the drive device 44 and 45 to place the first frame 41 in the first position located in the predetermined tread zone 17 of counter 16, the first position in which the position is configured to operate in employee-assisted mode; and / or have to control the drive devices 42 and 43 to place the first frame 41 in the second position also located in the predetermined tread zone 17, second position in which position 5 is configured to operate in the self-service mode .

The drive devices 44 and 45 are therefore configured to move the first frame 41 from the first position to the second position and also from the second position to the first position; in order to change the configuration of the counter 16 and the operability of the station 5, using a minimum surface on the floor 21, which is particularly convenient for retail stores, and for example those with a small surface.
