Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a cash box equipped with a cash register (register) for storing bills and coins, and particularly to miniaturization thereof.

[Prior Art] FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a cash box installed in a conventional cash register or the like. In the figure, (1) is an outer box provided with an opening (1a), (2) is housed in the outer box (1), and a drawer (storage) for storing banknotes and coins in a storage groove (2a). Boxes and (3) indicate a mechanism section including a solenoid for pushing out the drawer (2) from the inner rear surface of the outer box (1).

The conventional cash box is configured as described above. For example, by operating a switch provided on an operation unit (not shown) of the cash register, the push-out mechanism unit (3) is activated, and the outer box ( Push the drawer (2) from 1) in the direction of the arrow in the figure. As a result, the storage groove (2a) for storing the bills and coins in the drawer (2) is exposed from the outer box (1), and the bills and coins can be taken in and out of the cash box.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional cash box configured as described above, the push-out mechanism portion for pulling out the drawer is provided at the rear portion of the rear surface of the drawer. Therefore, the depth dimension of the outer box is set longer than the depth dimension of the drawer by an amount corresponding to the dimension of the push-out mechanism section. In recent years, from the viewpoint of lighting and space saving in business establishments, there has been a strong demand for downsizing of cash register machines equipped with cash boxes.

However, the storage part of the drawer in this cash box cannot be easily reduced because it is necessary to separately store about three types of banknotes and about six types of coins. There was a problem that it was difficult to reduce the size of the box.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and in the conventional case, the push-out mechanism part provided between the inside of the back surface of the outer box and the back part of the back surface of the drawer accommodated in the outer box has a structure of the outer box. It was made paying attention to the fact that it caused the depth dimension to be long, and the depth dimension of the outer box in the cash box and the depth dimension of the drawer can be made approximately the same size, and in the case of installing the outer box The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a cash box which can reduce the occupied area and can be miniaturized.

[Means for Solving Problems] In the cash box according to the present invention, the bottom of the storage box accommodated in the outer box has an upper bottom shape, and the above-mentioned outer bottom shape section and the outer box are provided with the above-mentioned By arranging a push-out mechanism section for pushing out the storage box, the outer case is made smaller in size and configured.

[Operation] In the cash box according to the present invention, since the space portion is provided in the lower bottom portion of the rear portion of the drawer, and the pushing mechanism portion is arranged in this space portion, the depth dimension of the drawer and the depth dimension of the outer box are substantially the same. It becomes possible to make the size, and even if you house the drawer that secures the same storage space as the conventional one,
The depth dimension can be set shorter than the conventional outer box, and the cash box can be made smaller.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a cash box according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, (1) is an outer box provided with an opening (1a), (3) is a pushing mechanism part, and (4) is housed in the outer box (1) and provided with a storage groove (4a). It is a storage box, that is, a drawer, and the rear bottom surface (4b) of this drawer (4) forms a raised bottom surface, and the rear bottom surface (4b) of this drawer (4) is raised and the lower bottom and outer case (1). ) The pushing mechanism (3) is installed in the space between the bottom and the bottom.

In the cash box configured as described above, for example, by operating the switch provided on the operation unit (not shown) of the cash register, the push-out mechanism unit (3) operates, and the outer box (1). Push out the drawer (4) from the Further, in the above-mentioned configuration, the push-out mechanism section (3) has the bottom of the rear bottom surface (4b) of the drawer (4) raised to the bottom,
Since the space is provided between the bottom of the outer box (1) and the bottom of the outer box and the rear of the drawer as in the conventional case, the space for installing the pushing mechanism (3). Is unnecessary, and the depth dimension of the outer box (1) can be made substantially the same as the depth dimension of the drawer (4).

2 is a structural view of a cash box according to another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 (a) is a top view thereof, and FIG. 2 (b) is a side view thereof. In the figure, (1) is an outer box, (3) is the same extrusion mechanism as in the prior art,
The bottom of the outer box (1) and the raised bottom of the drawer (4) are installed in the lower space, and (4) is a drawer housed in the outer box (1), which is the rear bottom of the drawer (4). Has a raised bottom. (4a) is a drawer (4)
The banknote storage space section (provided for two sides in this figure) having partitions provided at the front and rear sections of the above, and (4b) are removable coin tray sections (in this figure, six sections are provided). ) And (4c) are bill storage units (one surface is provided in this figure) in which the coin tray unit (4b) can be detached and stored. In the storage groove of the drawer (4),
For example, the banknote storage space (4a) at the rear of the drawer stores 1000 yen bills and 5,000 yen bills side by side, the storage (4c) at the front of the drawer stores 10,000 yen bills, and the coin tray ( 4b) stores 1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen, 50 yen, 100 yen, and 500 yen coins.

The drawer structure according to the other embodiment as described above has an effect that the drawing plane dimension (width × depth) becomes smaller than that of the conventional one.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to this invention, the bottom of the rear portion of the drawer is raised, and the push-out mechanism is provided in the space below the drawer. Since the space for the push-out mechanism (equal to the depth dimension) installed between the two is unnecessary, the depth dimension of the outer box can be set to the same extent as the depth dimension of the drawer, and the occupied area can be reduced, resulting in a smaller size. The effect is that a possible cash box is obtained.
