Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the use of a read-out window and a keyboard, etc., easy, and to improve operability by setting the size of the upper surface of a drawer and a frame to be large, and making the front end of the frame protrude to this side with respect to the front side of the drawer. CONSTITUTION:A drawer 11 is provided under a frame 10. The size of the upper surface of this frame 10 and the upper surface of the drawer 11 are set to be comparatively large, and the front end of the frame 10 protrudes largely this way compared to the front side of the drawer 11. And, a merchandise data read-out device 12 is set at the center of the upper part of the frame 10 and a read-out window 13 of this merchandise data read-out device 12 is provided turned upward. Then, even when the drawer 11 is released, the amount of protrusion of the drawer from the front edge is small, and the operator can always stand in a position close to the frame 10 to work. Thus, the use of the read-out window 13 and a keyboard 15 becomes easy, and there will be entirely no effect on the operation of taking paper money in and out.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product sales registration device used as a P○S terminal having a built-in product data reading device.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. That is, a drawer 2 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1, and a display section 3 is provided at the rear of the top of the casing 1. In the center of the housing 1, a reading window 5 of a product data reading device 4 and a keyboard 6 are provided on the right side, and a receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side.

Further, a receipt issuing port 9 for issuing a receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged on the front side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In conventional devices, the floor projected area of the drawer 2 and the floor projected area of the casing 1 are approximately the same. protrudes slightly forward. This makes it easier to perform operations such as raising the internal banknote holder when the drawer 2 is opened.

However, since the operator must be in a position retracted by the protruding amount of the drawer 2, he must reach out from a distance to use the reading window 5 and keyboard 6 formed in the housing l. First, there is the problem of poor workability. Of course, when the drawer 2 is not opened, the user can approach the housing 1, but the user must change the position of his or her body each time the drawer 2 is opened, making it impossible to perform stable work.

Means for Solving the Problem In a product sales registration device equipped with a housing having a built-in barcode scanner in the upper part of the drawer and a reading window and a keyboard arranged on the upper surface with the keyboard facing toward the front, the drawer The dimensions of the upper surface of the drawer and the upper surface of the casing are set large, and the front edge of the casing is formed to protrude largely toward the front side with respect to the front surface of the drawer.

Even when the operational drawer is opened, the amount of drawer protrusion from the front edge of the housing is small, allowing the operator to always work while standing close to the housing, which eliminates the need to use the reading window or keyboard. Moreover, even if the front edge of the case is protruding from the top of the open drawer, there is enough space to operate the banknote holder, making it easy to insert and remove banknotes. It has no effect at all.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

First, a drawer 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10. The dimensions of the upper surface of the IO of this case and the upper surface of the drawer 11 are set relatively large, and the dimensions of the upper surface of the drawer 11 are set relatively large.
The front edge of the casing 10 protrudes more toward the front than the front surface of the casing 1. A product data reading device 12 is disposed in the upper center of the housing 10, and a reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is provided facing upward. Further, a reading confirmation lamp 14 is provided at the upper right of the reading window 13. This reading confirmation lamp 14 displays a blue color when data can be read, and changes to a red color when data is read to confirm that the data has been read.

Next, a keyboard 15 is provided in front of the reading window 13.
A bill and coin tray 16 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 15.

Furthermore, a PLO keyboard 1 is located at the back of the reading window 13.
7 is provided.

Two pillars 18 projecting upward are integrally provided at the upper rear part of the housing 10, and a display section 19 for customers is provided on the right side of the upper part of the pillars 18, and a receipt is displayed on the left side. A publishing printer 20 is provided. The receipt issuing port 22- for issuing the receipt 21 of the receipt issuing printer 20 is located at the upper part of the front side, and the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device Fj12 for the normal receipt 21. It is positioned so that it will not interfere with the inside. That is, the receipt issuing port 22 is provided at a position that is higher than the reading window 13 by a predetermined height and deviated in the back direction by a predetermined dimension. Also, what is the scanning area here?
The area is the sum of the readable area where the barcode on the label affixed to the product can be read and the product movement area where the product can be moved left and right.

In such a configuration, a barcode that can be read by the product data reading device 12 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, when reading the product data, the product is scanned over the reading window 13.

As a result, data is captured, and when the data is read, the reading confirmation lamp 14 changes to red, so that the reading status can be confirmed.

When scanning this product, the product data reading device 12
Since it is formed singly in the width direction of the housing 10, its width dimension is small, so that the scanning distance of the product is short, the burden on the operator is light, and the scanning time is also short.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result, a receipt 21 is issued from the receipt issuing port 22. If this receipt 21 is of normal length, it will not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12, as described above, and will be located in a position where the operator will not interfere with it. ing. Therefore, there is no risk that the receipt 21 will be damaged by the operator.

Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 21 is such that the operator can easily take it.

Therefore, during such a registration operation, the drawer 11 is opened to transfer cash, but the tip of the opened drawer 11 does not protrude much beyond the front edge of the housing 10. This allows the operator to work while always standing close to the housing 10, making it easy to scan products on the reading window 13 and operate the keyboard 15. Therefore, there is less fatigue. In addition, there is a large space below the housing 10 on the top surface of the open drawer 11, so that operations such as the bill holder can be performed without any hindrance, and the housing 10 protruding toward the front side can be operated without any hindrance. Its presence does not impair the operability of the drawer 11.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a product sales registration device in which a housing has a built-in barcode scanner in the upper part of the drawer, and a reading window and a keyboard are arranged on the upper surface with the keyboard facing toward you. In the above, the dimensions of the top surface of the drawer and the top surface of the casing are set large, and the front edge of the casing is formed to protrude greatly toward the front side with respect to the front surface of the drawer, so that the drawer can be opened. The amount of drawer protrusion from the front edge of the housing is small, so the operator can always work while standing close to the housing, making it easier to use the reading window and keyboard.
Even if the front edge of the housing protrudes from the top of the open drawer, there is enough space to operate the banknote holder, and there is no effect on the operation of inserting and removing banknotes. It has the effect of
