Description

The present invention relates to a bag support device that detachably supports a bag for storing a product, and a product sales data processing device including the bag support device.

Conventionally, product sales data processing devices have been installed in stores such as supermarkets. In the product sales data processing device, the barcode of the product purchased by the customer is read by a scanner and registered, the product is packed in a plastic shopping bag or my bag hung on the bag storage unit, and the product is exited after payment. As such a product sales data processing device, a face-to-face mode device in which a store clerk reads a product and packs the registered product in a bag is known. In addition, a full-self self-mode device has been proposed in which the customer registers, setstles, and packs the product in a bag.

In the face-to-face mode, the clerk who pays the product takes out the plastic shopping bag from the support tool of the plastic shopping bag installed on the clerk side, puts it in the cleared basket, and hands it to the customer. On the other hand, in the self-service mode, after the customer finishes the payment of the product, the shopping bag is removed from the support tool installed near the customer to store the product. Therefore, there was no bag support that could be switched between the face-to-face mode and the self-mode.
On the other hand, in the checkout counter described in Patent Document 1, in the face-to-face mode, the bagging unit is inverted at the opening recess and the bottom portion is arranged on the same surface as the mounting surface. In the self-type mode, products are stored by hanging a plastic shopping bag or my bag on the bag holding portion with the opening of the bag-hanging unit facing up in the opening recess.
