Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Technical field to which the invention pertains This invention allows a child or a doll to shop at an imitation store, read the price of the imitation product purchased at the register, and have it automatically displayed on the price display section for play. This is about a register toy.

Problems to be Solved POS systems that send sales information from each store to a central office at the point of sale, collect, analyze, and record the information to contribute to business management and next ordering have been introduced in many chain stores. For young children who go shopping with their parents, store staff at the payment area should
The operation and operation of the cash register, which is a POS system terminal, is very interesting and at the same time makes me wonder what it is like.

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a register toy that operates similarly to a register, which is a POS system terminal, so that a certain level of learning and education regarding registers can be achieved through play.
In this way, the challenge is how to achieve, in a simple configuration, a function similar to the function of a register, which selects and displays one price for one product from among a large number of purchased products and prices, in the register toy. becomes.

In view of the above points, this invention is a register toy that allows the toy player to display one product corresponding to the purchased product and the price corresponding to that product with a simple configuration. The purpose is to provide.

Embodiment of this invention Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The register toy A according to this invention is used together with a plurality of imitation products (hereinafter simply referred to as products) B, as shown in FIG. The product B is preferably used for play by displaying the product on a display stand C and placing the register toy A near or near the display stand.

Product B is provided with a mark portion 1. This mark part has some effect on the mark detection part 2 connected to the Giresta toy A, and if the mark detection part operates only by electric signals as described later, the mark part is made of metal foil, It is made of a conductive material such as a metal tape, but if the mark detection section uses a photoelectric conversion element, it may be made of a light reflective material that provides light to the mark detection section. In either case, a barcode may be printed on the mark portion or a conductive material or a light-reflecting material may be attached in the shape of a barcode, if desired.

In the illustrated example, the mark detection unit 2 of the register toy A includes a transistor or other switching element 4 provided on a circuit board 3 disposed within the register toy, and a pair of conductive wires constituting a power supply circuit for the switching element. 5 and 6 are covered with a cord 7, and a counterfeit price reader 8 is connected to the tip of the cord to expose the tips of the conductors 5 and 6. The counterfeit price reader 8 has a shape similar to a barcode reader.

A price selection section activated by mark detection is connected to the mark detection section. The price selection section is operated by an oscillation circuit 9 connected to the rear stage of the switching element, a counting circuit 10 which inputs the oscillation output, performs cyclic counting, and sequentially and alternately outputs the oscillation output from different terminals, and the output of the counting circuit. It has a plurality of light emitting elements 11 ₁ ... 11 _o . 12 is a power source, 13 is a main switch, and 14 is a horn that generates a sound when a mark is detected.

When the switching element 4 becomes conductive, the horn 14
operates and generates sound, and the oscillation circuit 9 starts oscillating to give a pulse to the counting circuit 10.
The counting circuit increments each time a pulse is input and sequentially outputs alternately from each output terminal. Therefore, each light emitting element 11 ₁ ...11 _o sequentially and alternately emits light.

The switching element 4 is brought into conduction by approaching the product B holding the price reader 8 in its hand and bringing the ends of the conductive wires 5 and 6 into contact with the mark portion 1. That is, when the price reader 8 is held to read a product's bar code, etc., the light emitting element 11 emits light via the switching element 4, the oscillation circuit 9, and the counting circuit 10, and comes into contact with the mark part 1. During this period, the switching element is conductive and the light emitting element 11 ₁ ...
...11 _o emits light sequentially and cyclically. When the price reader finishes reading and moves away from the mark on the product, the switching element 4 shuts off, the counting circuit stops operating, and one of the light emitting elements emits light. maintained.

The light emitting elements 11 ₁ ... 11 _o are arranged at positions corresponding to the price display windows 15 ₁ ... 15 _o provided at the top of the register toy A, respectively, as shown in FIG. Reference numeral 16 is a display window for displaying a picture of the product, and a display body 17 as shown in FIG. It is provided so that it can be rotated in conjunction with the rotation of 18.

The display body 17 is formed in the shape of a polygonal column, and has a product group display section 19 on the handle side that displays various product names and/or product pictures in the circumferential direction by printing or pasting stickers. The outer periphery of the portion includes a price display section 20 that displays a plurality of prices corresponding to each product in the product group display section.
A plurality of numbers corresponding to one product each represent a plurality of prices appropriate to the type of product displayed on the product display section, and each number corresponds to a price display window ₁₅₁ to _15o . It is written in the position where

Therefore, turn the handle 18 to open the product display window 1.
6 and price display windows ₁₅₁ to _15o , a picture and a plurality of price figures corresponding to the products purchased from the counterfeit store can be displayed, respectively.

In this way, after taking out a product from the display stand A and turning the handle 18 to display the same picture as the product in the product display window 16, when the mark 1 of the product is read with the price reader 8, the horn 14 will e.g. A click sound is generated, and when the reading is finished, the light emitting elements 11 ₁ to 11 _o corresponding to any one of the price display windows emit light, and the price of the product is selected and displayed. be done. For other purchased items, by turning the dial 18 and then making a gesture to read the mark, one of the light emitting elements will similarly emit light and the price will be displayed.

Therefore, by having a toy register read the products purchased by a child or a doll who is shopping, the price is displayed on the price selection section, and the child or doll can make a purchase such as paying the displayed amount of counterfeit money. You can learn while having fun.

The price of any one of the price display sections can be displayed by illumination by using a light emitting element outside the price display window as shown in the figure, or by placing a light emitting element inside the price display section and using internal lighting. It can also be configured to display monetary figures.

Effects of this invention As mentioned above, according to this invention, one product corresponding to the purchased product and the price corresponding to the product can be displayed using a relatively simple configuration and the operation of the toy player. It is possible to provide a register toy that allows students to do the following, and is suitable as a simple POS system learning toy.
