Description

The present invention mainly relates to a change tray used for exchanging change between a customer and a store clerk.
More specifically, by bending the long side portion, the store clerk can transfer the change to the customer without dropping it, and when giving and receiving the change, prevent unnecessary contact between the store clerk and the customer. The present invention relates to a change tray that is inexpensive and can be stored without being bulky when it is not folded (unused state, storage state).

In retail stores and the like, when a customer purchases a product, cash is exchanged between the clerk and the customer (specifically, excess cash is returned from the clerk to the customer as change).

When giving and receiving such money, cash trays are often used to make it easier for salesclerks and customers to check the amount of change, to prevent the change from falling, and to make it easier for customers to receive the change. Many.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a money tray that does not make a customer who pays bills uncomfortable and can easily identify the presence or absence of a watermark on a bill and a confusing item in a dark place (summary). Such).

Specifically, the money tray has a substantially rectangular-shaped mounting surface of a size that allows the banknotes to be mounted in a spread state, and at least a portion of the mounting surface of the banknote that corresponds to the watermark of the banknote is transparent. It is characterized in that it is formed of an optical member, and a light emitting means is embedded behind the mounting surface (claim for utility model registration).

However, the conventional money trays including the money trays disclosed in the above patent documents have not been sufficiently considered to prevent unnecessary contact between the clerk and the customer when the change is exchanged. ..

Therefore, the present inventor has diligently studied the structure of the money tray, and as a result, in the main body having a rectangular shape, two bending lines (lines that serve as a guide for bending) are provided substantially parallel to the long sides of the main body. ) Has been found.

And, by having such a characteristic configuration, (1) it can be stored without being bulky in the storage state (the state where the folding line is not folded), and (2) when giving and receiving change, It has been found that unnecessary contact between a store clerk and a customer can be prevented, and (3) disposal cost is low (disposable). In particular, at the time of spread of an infectious disease caused by influenza virus, coronavirus, or the like, it is possible to significantly prevent concentrated contact between people, and thus to prevent the spread of an infectious disease.

That is, the present invention provides a change tray that prevents unnecessary contact between a clerk and a customer when giving and receiving change, has a low disposal cost, and can be stored without being bulky when it is not folded. The purpose is to do.

The change tray according to the present invention has a rectangular main body portion (11) having two long side portions and two short side portions, and the main body portion (11) has a substantially long side portion. It is characterized by including two folding lines (12a, 12b) provided in parallel.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a change tray according to the present invention, in a state where two folding lines are not folded (storage state).

FIG. 2 is a view showing a change tray according to the present invention in a state (used state) in which two folding lines can be folded and used for exchange of change.

Hereinafter, the money tray according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. 1 and 2 each show a money tray according to the present invention, but show a storage state (unused state) and a used state, respectively.

The number 10 in FIG. 1 indicates a money tray in a storage state (that is, a state in which it is not folded by a “folding line” described later). As shown in FIG. 1, the money tray according to the present invention includes a main body 11 and two bending lines (folds) 12a and 12b as essential constituent elements, and has optional constituent members as necessary. May be.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 11 has a quadrangular shape (rectangular shape) having two long side portions L and two short side portions S.

Here, the material of the main body is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that a clerk can easily fold it with a folding line (fold line) described later, such as paper or a plastic sheet.

In particular, considering that the manufacturing cost and the disposal cost are low and the money tray is disposable, it is preferable that the main body 11 is made of paper.

Further, the front surface (the surface on which money is placed) and/or the rear surface of the main body 11 may be antibacterial coated with an antibacterial varnish or a waterproof coating.

The size of the main body portion 11 is not particularly limited, but it is desirable that the short side portion S is 120 mm and the long side portion L is about 170 mm, for example.

The money tray according to the present invention has two folding lines (folds) as shown by the numbers 12a and 12b in FIG. Here, as shown by the reference numbers 22a and 22b in FIG. 2, the fold line is directed upward (folded into a valley) and used to transfer the change 23 using a cash tray. In addition, in FIG. 2, the change is shown only as coins (coins), but banknotes (eg, 1000 yen bills, 5000 yen bills, etc.) are also included.

The bending line (fold line) is provided in the main body portion 11 substantially parallel to the long side portion L of the main body portion 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, in the money tray according to the present invention, the change 23 is placed on the main body portion 21 in the use state. At this time, there is a sufficient space for placing the money 23. It is preferable to consider the position of the fold line.

Here, the folding line (fold) may be formed as a straight line or a broken line by printing. Considering the ease of valley folds, perforations or creases are preferred.

According to the present invention, a change tray is provided which prevents unnecessary contact between a store clerk and a customer when giving and receiving change, and has a low disposal cost, and can be stored without being bulky when it is not folded. it can.
