Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention is applicable to cash registers installed in various stores and the like for tallying product transactions, and money processing devices such as cash teller machines installed in banks and the like. Regarding.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, an increasing number of stores such as Buchi Ink and Cafe Ever have unified interior designs that include the equipment installed in the stores. Therefore, cash registers installed in such stores are required to have various designs that match the interior of each store.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a typical prior art cash register 1. The cash register 1 has an upper housing 9 and a lower housing 10.
It includes a main body 7 in which electronic circuits and the like are stored, and a drawer storage part 14 in which money is stored and a drawer 12 serving as a money box is stored. The main body 74 is composed of an operating section 6 having a key switch 11 on the surface 3 facing upward, and a protruding section 5 projecting upward in FIG. 7 from the operating section 6.

A display section 8 on which transaction information is displayed is provided on the front side of the protrusion 5, and a printer 4 for issuing receipts and journals is provided on the left side of the display section 8 in FIG.

FIG. 8 is a sectional view of the cash register 1 seen from the section line ■--1 in FIG. 7, and shows the cash register S+! The main body 7 and the drawer storage section 14 of the machine 1 are constructed independently as shown in FIG. That is, the drawer storage section 14 is usually a rectangular parallelepiped housing made of metal or the like, and the main body 7 includes an upper housing 9 and a lower housing 10 made of synthetic resin or the like. A through hole 16εi provided at the bottom of the lower housing 10
, 161J, bolts 15xt, 151:+ and bosses 17a, 17b provided at the top of the drawer storage section
The main body 7 and the drawer storage section 14 are fixed by being fitted into the drawer storage section 14.

The printer l needs to store one roll of journal paper and receipt paper, and also has a printing mechanism 1.
It is necessary to store the journal paper 20 printed and rolled up by 8, which requires a relatively large volume. The cash register 1 is provided with a protruding portion 5 that protrudes upward from the operating portion 6 to ensure a space for storing the journal paper 19, 20, etc.

FIG. 9 is a simplified cross-sectional view of the cash register 1 viewed from the 7!21 section line IX-[. Cash register machine 1
, the width W1 of the main body 7 is wider than the drawer storage section 1 =
l f1 width W2 is larger, so the cash register 1 has become larger.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the conventional cash register 1 described above, since the drawer storage section 14 is made of metal, its weight increases, and the width W2 of the drawer storage section 14 is wider than the width W1 of the main body 7. Due to its large size, the outer shape becomes large, giving the customer a feeling of pressure.

Also, in meetings where the design of the cash register 1 is changed, the design of only the main body 7 is often changed, but this is not the case! It is not possible to control the overall design of the IL coin registration machine 1. Therefore, it is difficult to replace the buzzer of the cash register with a new one as the times change. Furthermore, since the drawer storage section 14 and the main body 7 are configured independently, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the production cost increases.

An object of the present invention is to provide a money processing device that can solve the above technical problems, be lightweight and compact, and reduce production costs.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a t! In a money processing device, the operating means, the display part, and the printer are provided. and a drawer storage part located below the main body part, covering at least a side surface of the drawer, and storing the drawer so that the drawer can be pulled out and moved, and the width of the drawer storage part is the width of the main body part. This is a money processing device characterized in that at least a portion of the main body portion and the drawer storage portion are integrally molded from synthetic resin.

According to the present invention, there are provided an operating means for inputting money processing information, a display section for displaying money processing information, a printer for printing money processing information, and a drawer for storing money. In the money processing device, an operation means, a display section, and a printer are arranged in the main body, and a drawer is movably stored in the drawer storage section. The drawer storage part is located below the main body part and covers at least the side surface of the drawer, and at least a part of the main body part and the drawer storage part are made of synthetic resin and are integrally molded. Therefore, it is possible to provide the money processing device with an integrated and compact design including the main body and the drawer storage portion, thereby reducing the feeling of pressure mentioned in connection with the prior art and reducing the weight.

In addition, since the width of the drawer storage section is made smaller than the width of the main body, the money processing device can be placed on a table or the like provided with a recess of a predetermined size, and the drawer storage section can be stored in the recess. It can be installed compactly.

Further, the width W3 of the lower housing main body 101 of the lower housing 100 is
It is set longer than the width W4 at drawer storage section 110=t, 110t+. That is, in No. 3121, the left side surface of the lower housing body 101 protrudes to the left in FIG. It protrudes to the right in FIG. 3 by a length i2 from the surface. This allows the cash register 170 to be installed as shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows the cross section line IV-1 in FIG. 1! It is a sectional view of the cash register 170 when cut at /. A storage portion 412 of the recess 460 is provided behind the position of the lower housing 100 where the drawer 150 is stored. A journal roll paper 312, which is a part of the printer 160, is placed on an arcuate protrusion 132 provided in this storage section 412. Journal roll paper 312 is printed by printing mechanism 310 and wound up as journal roll paper 313. The journal roll paper 3] 2 is positioned so as to protrude below the bottom surface 450 of the lower housing 100 in FIG. Storage space for the printer 160 can be secured without providing a protrusion that protrudes upward from the printer 160.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the cash register 170 installed on the table 210, and FIG. 6UM is a front view of the cash register 170 installed on the table 210. The table 210 is formed with four parts 200 having a width larger than the width W4 of the drawer storage parts 110a, 1.10b and smaller than the width W3 of the lower housing body 101. As a result, the bottom surface 230 of the lower housing body 101 is connected to the table 210.
The drawer 150 can be installed so as to fit into the four parts 200 of the table 210. This makes it possible to install the cash register 170 so that the height protruding from the table surface 220 is 15 times lower, further reducing the feeling of pressure caused by installing the cash register 170. be done.

In this way, in the cash register 170, the lower housing body]

By integrally molding the cash register as 00, it is possible to reduce the weight of the cash register, and in addition, it is possible to realize a compact design. Moreover, the number of parts can be reduced, and production costs can be reduced.

In this embodiment, although the cash register has been described, it is not necessary to limit it to cash registers; for example, the P.O.
3 (point of sale control system) or a teller machine installed in a financial institution such as a bank, the present invention can be implemented in any device that processes money regarding transaction information that involves money transfer. I can do it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the main body and the drawer accommodating portion of the money handling device are integrally molded from the same six-component resin material. This allows for a compact design, making it possible to reduce weight and size. Moreover, since it can be installed compactly, it is possible to reduce the pressure of the money processing device. Furthermore, the number of parts can be reduced and production costs can be reduced.
