Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a cash register, and more particularly to a structure of a receipt issuing unit.

[Prior Art] Issuance of receipts in a cash register can be divided into various forms depending on the form of the casing and the layout of the operation unit. Especially, for a thin cash register that suppresses the height of the casing, the structure is It is general that the receipt sent from the printer is sent obliquely upward from above.

Therefore, as a concrete structure of the receipt issuing unit, there is a recessed structure having a guide wall inclined obliquely upward from the receipt outlet of the printer.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When the receipt issuing unit has a recessed structure as in the past, for example, when coins are mistakenly dropped into the receipt issuing unit during the transfer of money, those coins are received. There was a problem that it slipped down the inclined surface of the guide wall of the issuing unit and entered the printer, causing a receipt clogging and printer failure.

The length of the receipt issued by the receipt issuing unit varies depending on the number of sales points (the number of registered points), but in the case of a short receipt, the length of the receipt sent out from the receipt exit of the printer is short. Therefore, it is not easy to put the hand in the concave structure and take it out.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and to prevent paper jams and printer failures due to the intrusion of foreign objects such as coins, and at the same time, even with a short receipt. It is to provide a cash register that can be taken out.

[Means for Solving Problems] In the present invention, in the conventional structure, when coins or the like are accidentally dropped, those coins slide on the inclined surface of the guide wall and enter the printer as they are. In the case of a short receipt, paying attention to that it is difficult to take it out even if you put your finger in, as the tip of the receipt is sent out in contact with the guide surface.
By providing a step in the middle of the guide wall, these problems are solved at the same time.

Specifically, the housing has a printer that prints a receipt, and a receipt issuing unit that has a guide wall that inclines obliquely upward from a receipt outlet of the printer and guides the receipt sent out from the printer obliquely upward. In the cash register provided with, the guide wall of the receipt issuing unit is provided with a first inclined portion that inclines obliquely upward from the receipt outlet and a step portion that descends downward from the upper end of the first inclined portion. It is characterized in that it has a shape having a first inclined portion and a second inclined portion that is inclined substantially upward and substantially the same.

[Operation] When a coin or the like is accidentally dropped onto the receipt issuing unit, the coin slides down the second inclined portion, but further drops due to the step between the second inclined portion and the first inclined portion. Is blocked. Therefore, since coins and the like do not enter the printer, it is possible to prevent a paper jam or a printer failure.

Even in the case of a short receipt, the tip of the receipt is the first
Since it is located on the step between the inclined part and the second inclined part of
The step can be used to insert a finger between the receipt and the second inclined portion, so that the receipt can be easily taken out.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of this embodiment. In FIG. 1, a housing 1 is provided with a keyboard 2 having various keys on one side of its front surface, a printer 3 and a receipt issuing section 4 on the other side, and a customer display 5A and an operator's display on the upper surface. Display 5B has a drawer 6 at the bottom.
Are provided respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1, the receipt issuing unit 4 inserts a part of a receipt cover 12 that covers an upper portion of the roll-shaped receipt 11 housed in the housing 1 forward from the receipt outlet 13 of the printer 3 and obliquely upward. It is formed in a recessed structure having a guide wall 14 which is inclined toward.

The guide wall 14 includes a first inclined portion 14A which inclines forward and obliquely upward from the receipt outlet 13 of the printer 3 and an upper end of the first inclined portion 14A with respect to the first inclined portion 14A. And a second inclined portion 14C that is inclined substantially upward, that is, substantially parallel to the inclination direction of the first inclined portion 14A via a step portion 14B that descends at a substantially right angle. There is. The dimension of the stepped portion 14B, that is, the step between the first inclined portion 14A and the second inclined portion 14C is at least the thickness of the coin 21 or the dimension into which the finger 22 (see FIG. 2) is inserted.

The roll-shaped receipt 11 passes between the guide roller 31 and the paper guides 32 and 33, is printed by the printer head 34, and then is sent out from the receipt outlet 13 between the paper guide 32 and the table 35. It is like this. In addition, a cut structure (not shown) is provided in the vicinity (front side) of the receipt outlet 13 so that the receipt is cut.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the guide wall 14 for guiding the receipt 11 sent out from the printer 3 in the obliquely upward direction is inclined from the receipt outlet 13 of the printer 3 in the obliquely upward direction by the first inclined portion 14A. And a second slanted upper part of the first slanted part 14A via a step part 14B directed downward.
Since the coin 21 and the like have a shape with the inclined portion 14C, even if the coin 21 or the like is accidentally dropped, the coin 21 slides down the second inclined portion 14C and is stopped by the step portion 14B.
Since the coins 21 and the like do not get inside, it is possible to prevent paper jams and printer failures.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, even if the length of the receipt 11 sent out from the receipt outlet 13 is short, if the finger 22 is inserted along the second inclined portion 14C, the receipt is generated by the step portion 14B.
22 can be inserted on the bottom side of 11, so receipt
It is possible to take out 11 easily.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the guide wall for guiding the receipt obliquely upward is configured to have a step portion between the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a paper jam and a printer failure without allowing accidentally dropped coins to enter the printer. Further, even if the receipt is short, the finger can be inserted into the lower surface side of the receipt by the step portion, so that the receipt can be easily taken out.
