Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Industrial Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash box used for a drawer of an electronic cash register or the like.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional example of a cash box will be described with reference to FIG. In this cash box 1, a top cover 2 is formed by bending a metal plate punched into a predetermined shape into a box shape and spot-welding each place. The top cover 2 has a box shape in which an opening 4 through which a drawer 3 to be described later is inserted is formed in the front plate portion and the lower side is opened.
And a bottom cover 5 which is a bottom plate covering the opening,
The left and right rails 6, 7 for slidably supporting the drawer 3 are also formed of metal plates. Therefore, the rails 6 and 7 are fixed to both sides of the bottom cover 5, and the lock device 8 of the drawer 3 is fixed to the rear side with bolts 9. The top cover 2 covers the bottom covers so as to cover these members 6 to 8. It is fixed to 5 with bolts 9. Further, the drawer 3 has a large number of money storage portions 10 formed by vertically and horizontally partitioning the inside, and is inserted into the covers 2 and 5 through the opening portion 4 and slidable on the rails 6 and 7. Supported by.
A roller 11 is attached to the rails 6 and 7 and the drawer 3 so that the drawer 3 slides smoothly.

In such a structure, in the cash box 1, coins and banknotes (both not shown) are sorted by type and stored in a predetermined money storage unit 10.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the cash box 1 described above, since the rails 6 and 7 are separately formed and fixed to the bottom cover 5, many parts require bolting or welding, and the manufacturing process of the device. Is increasing and mass productivity is decreasing. Moreover, in this cash box 1, since the main parts are formed of a metal plate, it is necessary to coat substantially the entire surface in order to maintain a good appearance.

MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS A drawer made of a plurality of money storage sections having openings at the top and an opening into which the drawers are loosely inserted are formed, and a fitting groove is made of a synthetic resin. A front cover, a synthetic resin rear cover with a fitting groove formed on the outer peripheral surface, and a fitting piece that is bent into a U-shape to cover the drawer and fits into the fitting groove are inserted from the front and rear edges. A top cover projecting toward one side and rails slidably supporting the drawer are erected on both sides, and a fitting piece inserted into the fitting groove extends upward from the front and rear edges. And a mechanically fixing means such as a bolt for fixing the top cover and the bottom cover.

By fitting the fitting pieces of the top cover into the fitting grooves formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the synthetic resin front cover and rear cover, the parts requiring welding and bolting can be extremely reduced. Thus, the number of manufacturing steps can be reduced, and the shapes of the front cover and the rear cover can be freely formed without the need for painting.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The same parts as those of the above-described conventional example are designated by the same names and reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. First, in the cash box 12 of the present embodiment, the front cover 14 and the rear cover 15 corresponding to the front and rear surfaces of the main body 13 are made of synthetic resin, and the bottom cover corresponding to the bottom surface, the upper surface and the side surface of the main body 13 are formed. 16 and the top cover 17 are formed of a metal plate. Fitting grooves 18 and 19 are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the front cover 14 and the rear cover 15. Further, the bottom cover 16 is integrally formed with rails 20 which are bent on both sides to slidably support the drawer 3, and the front and rear edges are bent upward to form the fitting groove.
Fitting pieces 21 and 22 are formed to be inserted into the fitting pieces 18 and 19, respectively. Further, the top cover 17 is bent in a U-shape to cover the drawer 3, and the front and rear edges are bent inward to form the fitting groove.
Fitting pieces 23, 24 to be fitted in 18, 19 are formed. Therefore, the bottom cover 16 and the top cover 17 are fixed by bolts 25 which are mechanical fixing means in a state where the fitting pieces 21 to 24 are fitted into the fitting grooves 18 and 19 to form the main body 13. Has been done. The drawer 3 loosely inserted from the opening 4 of the main body 13 is slidably supported by the rail 20.

In such a configuration, the cash box 12 functions like the conventional cash box 1.

In this cash box 12, since the front cover 14 and the rear cover 15 corresponding to the front and rear surfaces of the main body 13 are formed of synthetic resin, this portion can be molded in any shape and need not be painted, and the cash box It is possible to contribute to the improvement of the appearance.

Effect of the Invention As described above, the present invention has a drawer in which a plurality of money storage portions having upper openings are formed, an opening into which the drawer is loosely inserted, and a fitting groove formed in the outer peripheral surface. A front cover made of synthetic resin, a rear cover made of synthetic resin with a fitting groove formed on the outer peripheral surface, and a fitting piece that is bent in a U shape covering the drawer and is fitted into the fitting groove A top cover protruding inward from the edge portion, rails slidably supporting the drawer are erected on both sides, and fitting pieces inserted into the fitting groove are front and rear edge portions. From the top cover and a mechanical fixing means such as a bolt for fixing the top cover and the bottom cover to each other. The mating groove on the top cover By fitting, the parts that require welding and bolting can be extremely reduced, which can reduce the manufacturing process, and the front cover and the rear cover can be freely formed. The effect is that there is no need to paint.
