Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the register table with good processing efficiency which eliminates the need to replace shopping baskets on the table by a register operator or customer at the time of register processing. CONSTITUTION:The register table has a top surface 2 which slants gently, rolls on the top surface 2, and a stopper 4 slantingly below the top surface 2. Consequently, a shopping basket is only mounted on the top surface 2 and then the basket can be moved to the lower slanting part by its own weight. Therefore, the register operator or customer need not lift and replace the basket on the top surface 2 of the register table at each time at the time of payment, so the fatigue of the register operator is reduced and the repetitive trouble of replacing customer's baskets is eliminated to improve the rotation efficiency of the register.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash register table installed in a store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art No conventional cash register table has an inclined upper surface and a roller on the upper surface.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In a store, particularly in a cash register (register) such as a supermarket, a customer puts a product in a basket, brings it to the cash register, and a cashier operator reads the product to make a sale. It is processing.

At the time of processing at this cash register, an empty car (car A) is prepared in advance on the cash register table, and the cashier operator takes out the product from the car (car B) brought by the customer and scans it with the scanner. Read the product at
By sequentially moving to, all the products are read and sales are processed. When the sales process is completed,
The customer holds the basket A containing the purchased products and moves to carry out bag packing. The cashier operator moves the car B, which initially contains a customer's product and is now empty, and prepares it for processing the next customer.

At present, since the work of moving the car is performed manually, the cashier operator is very tired. In addition, since this moving work cannot be performed while sitting down, it is necessary to stand up and sit down from a chair repeatedly, or if the user is standing up, the degree of fatigue is great and it cannot be reduced.

[0006] Further, the customer next to the customer carrying the car A places the car (car C) next to the car B, and after the cashier operator moves the car B, the car C is moved to the product reading position again. In order to place it, it is necessary to give the customer twice the time, and the car A
There is a vacant time from when the car C is taken away to when the car C is placed at the reading position, which is an obstacle to improving the efficiency of the cash register.

The present invention solves the above problems,
By automatically moving the car, the fatigue of the cashier is reduced, and by providing an environment where you can sit and work in a chair, you can reduce the fatigue of the cashier table. It is intended to be provided. Another object is to eliminate the time and labor of repositioning the car of the customer at the same time, and to improve the efficiency of the cash register by shortening the time until the car is placed in a predetermined position.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a cash register table of the present invention has a gently inclined upper surface, a roller is provided on the upper surface, and a stopper is provided below the inclined upper surface. It is a composition.

[0009]

According to the cash register table of the present invention, when the customer takes away the car A after the sale processing is completed, the empty car B is tilted by its own weight on the upper surface of the tilted cash register table. It moves to the lower side and is stopped by the stopper attached to the lowermost part of the slope of its upper surface. The next customer after the car A has the car (car C) brought next to the car B, so when the car B moves down the slope, the car C also automatically moves and reads the product. Stop where you want to go. In other words, a customer who has completed the sales process carries out the basket containing the product purchased by him / herself, so that the empty car and the car of the next customer automatically perform the sales process without relying on manpower. You can move.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the cash register table of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a cash register table main body, 2 is a gently inclined upper surface provided on the surface of the cash register table main body, 3 is a roller attached along the upper surface 2, and 4 is a basket so as not to fall from the upper surface 2. It is a stopper provided on the lower end of the slope of the upper surface 2 for

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which a car is placed on the cash register table, 5 is a scanner for reading goods, 6 is an empty car (car A), and 7 is a customer who is going to perform sales processing. Cars (car B) and 8 are cars (car C) brought by a customer following the customer.

In the above structure, in the sales process, the product is taken out from the car B7, the product is read by the scanner 5, and then the product is put into the car A6. This operation is repeated until the car B7 becomes empty. The scanner 5 shown here is of the type that reads from the side, but the same effect can be obtained with a type that scans from the top to the bottom. The customer whose settlement has been completed carries the basket A6 in which the product purchased by him / herself is placed and moves to pack it in a bag.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which a customer holds and moves the car A6. Reference numeral 9 is a basket A'in which the products purchased by the customer are placed. Reference numeral 10 denotes an empty basket B ′ from which all the products have been taken out. As shown by the arrows in the figure, the car B'10 and the car C8 move by their own weight on the rollers 3 of the table upper surface 2 which is an inclined surface, and eventually hit the stopper 4 and stop. The stopped positions are the same as the positions of the car A6 and the car B7 shown in FIG. 2, respectively, and the car C8
The sales process can be promptly performed.

By such an operation, it is possible to realize a cash register table capable of moving a car automatically and unpowered.

Thus, the cashier operator can be released from the moving movement of the car, and the environment in which the cashier can be operated while sitting on the chair can reduce the fatigue of the cashier operator, and the car of the customer can be placed. While eliminating the trouble of fixing twice,
The rotation efficiency of the cash register can be improved by shortening the time until the car is placed in a predetermined position.

The upper surface 2 of the cash register table is used here.
Although the stopper 4 is used to prevent the basket from falling, the same effect can be obtained by attaching a brake to the roller 3.

If the inclination angle of the upper surface 2 of the cash register table is too large, the moving speed of the car is increased, and when the car is stopped, it may be impacted and the product may be damaged. However, this can be avoided by optimizing the inclination angle or by preventing the roller 3 from rotating at a certain speed or more.

[0019]

As is apparent from the above description, the cash register table of the present invention has a structure in which the upper surface is gently inclined, the rollers are provided on the upper surface, and the stopper is provided below the inclination of the upper surface. By simply placing the car on the top surface of the cash register table, the car can be moved to the lower slope due to its own weight. Therefore, the cashier operator and the customer do not need to manually lift and transfer the basket on the top surface of the cashier table for the product account, which reduces fatigue of the cashier operator and eliminates the need to reposition the customer's basket twice. The rotation efficiency of the cash register can be improved.
