Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase paper currency storage parts without increasing the number of a device by providing a detachable separator which divides a paper currency storage part into two upper and lower parts. CONSTITUTION:The cash tray 3 where plural paper currency storage parts 5 and coin storage parts 4 are formed is provided with the detachable separator 7 which divides the paper currency storage parts 5 into upper and lower parts. Consequently, the paper currency storage parts 5 formed in the cash tray 3 consists of two upper and lower stages and the number of paper currency storage parts increases. The separator 7 is freely detached, so the number of paper currency storage parts 5 can be increased or decreased according to the total number of kinds of paper currency and whether or not there is paper, etc., to be stored. Thus, the paper currency storage part 5 can be divided into the upper and lower parts when necessary and when the number of kinds of paper currency is large or when paper other than the paper currency is stored, the number of paper currency storage parts 5 can be increased without increasing the size of the cash tray 3.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash tray installed in electronic cash registers, cash boxes of POS terminals, and the like.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art A cash tray installed in a cash box has a plurality of coin storage sections and bill storage sections, and the number of coin storage sections and the size of each storage section are determined by the overall configuration of the cash tray.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] As devices such as electronic cash registers and POS terminals to which cash trays are attached have been becoming smaller, cash trays are also becoming smaller. In countries where there are many denominations of banknotes, there is a problem that the number of banknote storage units is reduced, making it impossible to individually store banknotes of all denominations. In addition, the cash tray may store checks, slips, etc. other than banknotes, and if you try to store paper sheets such as such slips separately from banknotes, it will be difficult to store banknotes even in countries with few denominations. A problem arises in which the number of copies is insufficient.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a removable separator that divides the banknote storage section into upper and lower parts.
The number of divisions of the banknote storage section can be increased as needed, so that the banknote storage section can be divided into several parts without increasing the size of the device, such as when there are many denominations of banknotes or when paper sheets other than banknotes are stored separately. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cash tray that can realize the increase.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The cash tray of the present invention is characterized in that the cash tray has a plurality of banknote storage sections and coin storage sections, and is provided with a separator that is detachable and divides the banknote storage section into upper and lower sections. do.

[0006]

[Operation] In this invention, the banknote storage section formed in the cash tray is divided into upper and lower parts by a separator. Therefore, one banknote storage section is configured into two upper and lower stages, increasing the number of banknote storage units. This separator is detachable, and the number of banknote storage sections can be increased or decreased depending on the number of denominations of banknotes and the presence or absence of paper sheets to be stored.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a cash tray according to an embodiment of the present invention. A cash drawer 2 is freely inserted into and taken out from the cash box 1.

A resin-molded cash tray is installed inside the cash drawer 2. This cash tray 3 has a plurality of coin storage sections 4 on the front side and a plurality of banknote storage sections 5 on the rear side. Banknote storage section 5
A banknote presser 6 is provided on the upper surface of the banknote holder 6 to press the banknotes stored in the banknote storage section 5 from above. A separator 7 is attached to a part of this banknote storage section 5. An engaging portion 8 is integrally formed on the front end of the separator 7, and this engaging portion 8 is engaged with a wall portion 9 between the banknote storage portion 5 and the coin storage portion 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing how the separator is attached to the cash tray. The engaging portion 8 formed at the front end of the separator 7 has a recessed portion open to the lower side, and the wall surface 9 of the cash tray 3 is inserted into this recessed portion. The height of the recessed part of the engaging part 8 is approximately half the height of the banknote storage part, and the separator 7 divides the banknote storage part 5 into approximately two vertical parts. As a result, storage sections are formed above and below the separator 7, and one banknote storage section 5 is formed.
can be used as a storage unit for banknotes of two different denominations. Further, one side can also be used as a storage section for paper sheets other than banknotes such as checks and slips. In this case, since the bill storage section formed between the bottom surface 5a of the bill storage section 5 and the separator 7 is not exposed to the outside 2, it is suitable for use as a storage section for large-value banknotes or checks. .

0010

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, the banknote storage section can be divided into upper and lower parts as necessary, and the cash tray can be made larger when there are many denominations of banknotes or when storing paper sheets other than banknotes. This has the advantage that the number of banknote storage units can be increased without causing problems.
