  Hereinafter, an accounting tray according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

[First Embodiment]
Referring to FIGS. 1 (a) and 2 (a), an accounting tray 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a coin confirmation unit 11 having a coin placement surface 11a, a coin take-out unit 12, And a flexible cover 13.

  It should be noted that the accounting tray 10 is placed on the coin confirming unit 11 by means of a soccer stand provided adjacent to a POS terminal device (not shown) or a post on a case of the POS terminal device. The surface 11a is provided to be horizontal.

  The coin confirmation unit 11 is an area in which a coin is placed, having a flat plate shape with a flat coin placement surface 11a in the width direction W and the depth direction D.

  The coin take-out unit 12 is provided in parallel with the coin confirmation unit 11 in the width direction W or the depth direction D, in this example, in the width direction W, and at least when receiving coins, it is below the height direction H. This is an area that accepts coins that have a concave shape in the direction H1 and arrive from the coin confirmation unit 11.

  Further, the coin take-out portion 12 has a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the wall surfaces facing each other in the depth direction D have a facing distance that decreases in the downward direction H1 in the height direction H. Furthermore, when the coin take-out unit 12 receives at least a coin, as shown in FIG. 2B, the coin take-out unit 12 faces the coin check unit 11 in the direction in which the coin take-out unit 12 continues, in this example, the width direction W. More specifically, the facing distance becomes narrower as the wall surface on the outer side (left side in the figure) of the coin take-out portion 12 and the flexible cover 13 go in the lower direction H1 in the height direction H. It has a substantially U-shaped cross section. That is, the flexible cover 13 functions as a part of the inclined inner wall surface of the coin take-out portion 12. Thereby, in a state where a plurality of coins are received in the coin take-out unit 12, the plurality of coins are easily bundled together by their own weight, and the store clerk is easily grasped with one hand. Note that the coins received by the coin take-out unit 12 are the direction of the outside in the direction in which the coin take-out unit 12 continues with respect to the coin check unit 11 by the store clerk, in this example in FIG. It is taken out to the left.

  In the present invention, the same position in the height direction H is not limited to the completely same height position. For example, the plate surface 13 a of the flexible cover 13 is more than the coin placement surface 11 a of the coin confirmation unit 11. May be at a low position of about several mm. In any case, the height positional relationship between the plate surface 13a of the flexible cover 13 and the coin placement surface 11a of the coin confirmation unit 11 is determined based on the coins placed on the coin placement surface 11a of the coin confirmation unit 11. It is preferable that the height is in a positional relationship that does not hinder the work of the store clerk who collects the coins on the flexible cover 13 that covers the coin take-out portion 12.

  As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 2B, the accounting tray 10 of the present embodiment is flexible according to a predetermined load directed downward in the height direction H with respect to the flexible cover 13. The cover 13 bends so as to be able to return toward the lower direction H1. As a result, the coin take-out unit 12 transitions from a state in which no coin can be received to a state in which it can be received through the flexible cover 13.

  Therefore, for example, due to misuse of the accounting tray by the customer, the coins over the position of the coin takeout part 12 (the flexible cover 13) or over the positions of the coin check part 11 and the coin takeout part 12 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the store clerk collects coins on the coin take-out portion 12 side and simultaneously presses the flexible cover 13 in the downward direction H1 with a force equal to or greater than a predetermined load. The coin can be received through the flexible cover 13. In FIG. 4, the illustration of the clerk's fingers is omitted to avoid the complexity of the illustration.

  In the present invention, the predetermined load is a load that exceeds the total weight of the assumed maximum amount of coins, in other words, the flexible cover does not deform even when a plurality of coins are placed, It is set to a load that easily deforms when force is applied with the clerk's fingers.

  The flexible cover 13 is a material that does not deform even when a plurality of coins are placed, and is easily deformed when a finger is applied near the center with a finger (for example, polypropylene, polyethylene tefrate, hard polyvinyl chloride). Synthetic rubber or natural rubber). In addition, it is preferable that the flexible cover 13 has at least an upper surface that is smooth so that the store clerk can push the coins without being caught while collecting the coins. The thickness of the flexible cover 13 is preferably about 0.7 mm, for example, and the tensile elastic modulus is preferably about 840 to 880 MPa (JIS K7127 standard).

  Next, the attachment structure of the flexible cover 13 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Referring to FIG. 5A, the flexible cover 13 includes a base end portion 13b having a narrow width and a hole portion 13c opened at the center of the base end portion 13b. On the other hand, the accounting tray 10 is similar to the slit portion 10a formed near the boundary between the coin confirmation portion 11 and the coin withdrawal portion 12 and the pair of guide L-shaped ribs 10b formed on the back surface of the coin confirmation portion 11. And a dowel 10 c formed on the back surface of the coin confirmation unit 11.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the base end portion 13 b of the flexible cover 13 is inserted into the slit portion 10 a of the accounting tray 10. Next, the base end portion 13b of the flexible cover 13 penetrating the slit portion 10a is inserted between the pair of guide L-shaped ribs 10b. Finally, the dowel 10 c of the accounting tray 10 is inserted into the hole 13 c of the flexible cover 13.

  The flexible cover 13 is positioned by the slit portion 10a of the accounting tray 10 and the pair of guide L-shaped ribs, and the dowel 10c is engaged with the hole portion 13c. Absent. The flexible cover 13 is attached to the accounting tray 10 without using an adhesive, a double-sided tape, a screw, or the like.

  According to the accounting tray according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above, the store clerk is not forced to take extra steps such as replacing coins erroneously placed in the coin take-out section in the coin confirmation section. Furthermore, the accounting tray of the first embodiment is changed from a state where the coin take-out unit 12 cannot accept coins to a state where coins can be accepted by the flexible cover 10 attached to the accounting tray 10 without screwing or the like. Therefore, the number of parts is small and cost reduction can be expected.

  The flexible cover 13 may be attached to the accounting tray 10 using an adhesive, a double-sided tape, a screw, or the like.

[Second Embodiment]
6 (a) and 7 (a), the accounting tray 20 of the second embodiment of the present invention includes a coin confirmation unit 21 having a coin placement surface 21a, a coin take-out unit 22, A rotating cover 23 is provided.

  Similarly to the accounting tray 10 of the first embodiment, the accounting tray 20 also has a soccer stand provided adjacent to a POS terminal device (not shown), or a casing of the POS terminal device via a column. For example, the coin placement surface 21a of the coin confirmation unit 21 is provided to be horizontal.

  The coin take-out part 22 is provided in parallel with the coin confirmation part 21 in the width direction W or the depth direction D, in this example in the width direction W, and at least when receiving coins, it is below the height direction H. A coin that is recessed toward the direction H1 and that arrives from the coin confirmation unit 21 or the like is removably received.

  Further, when accepting at least a coin, the coin take-out part 22 is opposed to the coin check part 21 in the direction in which the coin take-out part 22 continues, in this example, the width direction W, as shown in FIG. A cross section in which the facing distance becomes narrower as the wall surfaces, more specifically, the wall surface on the outer side (left side in the figure) of the coin take-out portion 22 and the rotation cover 23 go downward in the height direction H. It has a substantially V shape. That is, the rotation cover 23 functions as a part of the inclined inner wall surface of the coin take-out portion 22. Thereby, in a state where a plurality of coins are received in the coin take-out portion 22, the plurality of coins are easily collected together by their own weight, and the store clerk is easily grasped with one hand. Note that the coins received in the coin take-out unit 22 are directed by the store clerk in the outer direction of the direction in which the coin take-out unit 22 continues with respect to the coin check unit 21, in this example in FIG. It is taken out to the left.

  The rotation cover 23 has a plate shape and can rotate in the depth direction D or the width direction W, for example, in the height direction H and downward in the direction H1 about the rotation axis along the depth direction D. In other words, at the same position in the height direction H as the coin confirmation part 21, it is provided at the opening of the coin take-out part 22 and covers the coin take-out part 22.

  In the present invention, the same position in the height direction H is not limited to the completely same height position. For example, the plate surface 23a of the rotation cover 23 is more than the coin placement surface 21a of the coin confirmation unit 21. May be at a low position of about several mm. In any case, the height positional relationship between the plate surface 23 a of the rotation cover 23 and the coin placement surface 21 a of the coin confirmation unit 21 is determined based on the coins placed on the coin placement surface 21 a of the coin confirmation unit 21. It is preferable that the height is in a positional relationship that does not hinder the work of the store clerk who collects the coins on the rotation cover 23 that covers the coin take-out portion 22.

  Unlike the flexible cover 13 of the first embodiment, the rotating cover 23 is made of a material such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin that does not deform even when a force is applied with fingers.

  As shown in FIGS. 6B and 7B, the accounting tray 20 according to the present embodiment rotates according to a predetermined load directed in the downward direction H1 in the height direction H with respect to the rotation cover 23. The cover 23 rotates so as to be able to return toward the lower direction H1. As a result, the coin take-out portion 22 transitions from a state in which no coin can be received to a state in which it can be received through the rotation cover 23.

  Therefore, for example, due to misuse of the accounting tray by the customer, the coin is placed on the position of the coin take-out part 22 (the rotation cover 23) or over the positions of the coin check part 21 and the coin take-out part 22. Even if the store clerk collects coins on the coin take-out portion 22 side and simultaneously pushes the rotating cover 23 in the downward direction H1 with a force greater than a predetermined load, the coin can be received via the rotating cover 23. It becomes.

  In the present invention, the predetermined load is a load exceeding the total weight of the assumed maximum amount of coins, in other words, the rotating cover does not rotate even when a plurality of coins are placed. The load is set so as to easily rotate when a force is applied with the fingers of the store clerk.

  Next, the attachment structure of the rotation cover 23 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b).

  Referring to FIG. 8A, the accounting tray 20 includes a pair of shaft hole portions 20 b extending in the depth direction D near the boundary between the coin confirmation portion 21 and the coin take-out portion 22. On the other hand, the rotation cover 23 includes a shaft hole portion 23b formed on the proximal end side of the rotation.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (a), between the pair of shaft holes 20b of the accounting tray 20, shaft holes 23b of the rotation cover 23 are inserted into both ends via both-end supported springs 25, respectively. The Next, the spring pins 24 are press-fitted from the outer sides of the pair of shaft hole portions 20b of the accounting tray 20. Only two springs 25 and two spring pins 24 are shown in FIG. 8A, the spring 25 is drawn from below the accounting tray 20, but in reality, the spring 25 is inserted from above the accounting tray 20. As described above, the rotation cover 23 is rotatably attached to the accounting tray 20.

  When a predetermined load on the rotation cover 23 is released by the spring 25, the rotation cover 23 returns to the same position in the height direction H as the coin confirmation unit 21, as shown in FIG.

  According to the accounting tray of the second embodiment of the present invention described above, the store clerk is not forced to take extra steps such as replacing coins erroneously placed in the coin take-out section in the coin confirmation section. Furthermore, the accounting tray having the rotating cover of the second embodiment has a larger number of parts than the accounting tray having the flexible cover of the first embodiment, but is long and expensive. Even if used frequently, the rotating mechanism is unlikely to deteriorate. In other words, the accounting tray of the second embodiment is superior in durability to the first embodiment.

[Third Embodiment]
Referring to FIGS. 9A and 10A, the accounting tray 30 according to the third embodiment of the present invention has a main body 30A and a tray support portion. The main body 30 </ b> A includes a coin confirmation unit 31 including a coin placement surface 31 a and a coin take-out unit 32.
