Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve working efficiency by stopping the housing of a drawer in a main body box by engaging the other terminal part of a stopper guide with at least either an internal case or the drawer. CONSTITUTION:When a large number of articles 18 housed between the drawer 6 and a money case 9 are present and the drawer 6 in a state where the money case is set in an elevated state is inserted to the main body box 5, a rear part 14 is ascended by making the stopper guide 12 of an elevated money case 9 abut with a turning stopper 13. Thereby, the front part 15 of the turning stopper 13 is remarkably decended according to such turn, and it is engaged with the partition 10 of the money case 9, which enables the drawer 6 to be housed in the main body box 5. Thereby, superior safety can be obtained, and the working efficiency for every kind of work can be improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application - The present invention relates to a withdrawal device used in a cash register drawer or the like.

Conventional technology Currently, various types of drawer devices are in practical use.
For example, a drawer, which is a cash register withdrawal device, is a drawer with an open top that is inserted from the front into the main box with an open front and is slidably stored. The structure is such that the case can be attached and detached from above. By doing this, the internal space of the drawer is divided into two vertically by the money case, so for example, you can store coins and low-denomination bills in the money case, and store high-value bills or slips in the gap between the money case and the drawer. You can do things like store things.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In a drawer device such as the above-mentioned drawer, storage forms are diversified by dividing the internal space of the drawer into upper and lower halves by an internal case.

However, if a large amount of items are stored between the drawer and the internal case, and the drawer is forcibly stored inside the main box, for example, the internal case will rise from the drawer inside the main box, making it impossible to remove the drawer from the main box. Sometimes. In such a case, sales operations cannot be performed, especially at a cash register, and the main box must be disassembled, which is undesirable.

Although such a situation can be prevented by the operator being careful about the amount of items stored under the inner case, this is not preferable because it reduces the efficiency of sales operations and the like.

Means for solving the problem: A drawer with an open top is inserted from the front into a main box with an open front, and the drawer is slidably stored, and an inner case with a stopper guide formed on the side edge is inserted into the internal space of the drawer. It is detachably attached from above, and when one end with a short length comes into contact with the stopper guide of the inner case raised inside the drawer, the other end with a longer length from the shaft center engages at least one of the inner case and the drawer. A matching rotation stopper was rotatably supported on the inner surface of the main body box.

When a drawer is inserted into the main box with the inner case raised to accommodate stored items, one end of the rotation stopper is slightly pushed up by contact with the stopper guide, and this rotation causes the stopper guide to descend excessively. The other end engages with at least one of the inner case and the drawer to stop the drawer from being stored in the main box, so it automatically stops when there are too many items under the inner case without the operator paying special attention. Because the drawer cannot be stored inside the main box,
This prevents the drawer from becoming impossible to take out from the main box due to the rise of the internal case and requiring disassembly of the drawer.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, in the drawer 1 which is the drawer device of this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. A drawer 6 that is slidably housed in the main body box 5 is provided with guide rails 7 that engage with the guide rollers 4 on both outer surfaces thereof, and guide rails that engage with the guide rails 2 and 3. A roller 8 is attached. In this drawer I, the money case 9, which is an internal case that is removably attached to the drawer 6 from above, has a plurality of partition plates 10, 11 formed inside, and is elongated in the front-rear direction and has both ends. A downwardly curved stopper guide 12 is formed on one outer surface, and a rotary stopper 13 that engages with the stopper guide 12 so as to be able to move toward and away from the stopper guide 12 is rotatably supported by one of the guide rails 2. There is. Here, the rotation stopper 13 has a rear end 14 that is one end that engages the stopper guide 12 in a detachable manner, and the other end that detachably engages with the partition plate 1o of the money case 9. The length of the front part 15 from the axial center 16 is longer, and when the front part 15 is rotated, the front part 15 is displaced more in the tangential direction than the rear part 14. In this drawer 1, a drive mechanism 17 for controlling locking and protrusion of the drawer 6 is provided at the rear inside the main body box 5.

Note that the term "front and rear" as used herein refers to the direction in which the drawer device is constructed, and does not define the direction in which the actually formed drawer 1 is used in a device such as a cash register.

In this structure, the drawer 1 stores items such as coins and low-denomination bills (not shown) between the partition plates 10 and 11 of the money case 9, and as illustrated in FIG. Items 18 such as high-value banknotes and slips are stored at the bottom of a drawer 6 located below the drawer 9.

Here, in this drawer l, normally, even when the drawer 6 is slid with respect to the main body box 5, the stopper guide 12 of the money case 9 does not come into contact with the rear part 14 of the rotation stopper 13, and it functions like a conventional drawer. It is supposed to be done.

For example, when the drawer 6 is inserted into the main box 5 with a large amount of articles 18 stored between the drawer 6 and the money case 9 and the money case 9 is raised, the money case 9 is raised as shown in FIG. The stopper guide 12 of the money case 9 comes into contact with the rotation stopper 13 and pushes up the rear part 14. Then, in accordance with this rotation, the front portion 15 of the rotation stopper 13 descends significantly and engages with the partition plate 10 of the money case 9, making it impossible to store the drawer 6 in the main body box 5.

By doing this, if there are too many items 18 under the money case 9 without the operator paying special attention, the drawer 6 will automatically become unable to be stored in the main body box 5. This prevents the money case 9 from rising and making it impossible to take out the drawer 6 from the main box 5, and prevents the drawer 1 from having to be disassembled and making sales operations impossible.

Moreover, in this drawer 1, the rear part 1 of the rotation stopper 13 is pushed up by the stopper guide 12 of the money case 9.
4, the front part 15 that engages with the money case 9 is longer, so even if the amount of rise of the money case 9 is minute, the rotation stopper 1
The front part 15 of the drawer 3 can be largely displaced and the drawer 6 can be stopped reliably.

In this embodiment, the drawer 1 is illustrated in which the short rear part 14 of the rotary stopper 13 is pushed up by the stopper guide 12 and the front part 15 engages with the money case 9, but the present invention is limited to the above-mentioned format. Instead, it is also possible to implement a drawer (not shown) in which a short front part is pushed up by a stopper guide and a long rear part engages with a money case.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a main body box with an open front, in which a drawer with an open top is inserted from the front to be slidably stored, and an inner case with a stopper guide formed on the side edge is pulled out. When the shorter end comes into contact with the stopper guide of the inner case raised inside the drawer, the other end, which is longer from the shaft center, connects the inner case and the drawer. A rotation stopper that engages at least one side is rotatably supported on the inner surface of the main box, and when a drawer is inserted into the main box with the inner case raised to accommodate stored items, it comes into contact with the stopper guide. One end of the rotation stopper is slightly pushed up by this rotation, and the other end of the stopper guide, which descends excessively due to this rotation, engages at least one of the internal case and the drawer to prevent the drawer from being stored in the main box. By stopping the drawer, if there are too many items under the inner case, the drawer will automatically become unable to be stored in the main box without the operator paying special attention, so the drawer cannot be removed from the main box due to the rise of the inner case. This prevents the need to disassemble the drawer, improves safety, and contributes to improving various work efficiencies.
