Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a portable cash register that is easily portable and can be used at any location.

Conventionally, cash registers are large and are generally installed and used at predetermined locations.

In other words, conventional cash registers have not been designed with any consideration given to portability, and are designed to be used only in a fixed location.

However, as commercial transactions become more diverse and complicated, the use of conventional cash registers has become limited.

Therefore, in view of the above points, the present invention provides a cash register suitable for increasingly complicated commercial transactions.

A detailed description will be given below with reference to an embodiment of the figure. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cash register main body, which includes a computer storage chamber 11 with an open top for housing a calculator 2, which will be described later, and a computer housing chamber 11 with an open top for storing money. A money storage room 12 is arranged side by side and integrally provided.

The calculator 2 includes a display section 21, a keyboard section 22 equipped with a numeric keypad and function keys for inputting information necessary for commercial transactions, and a control section for storing various data, performing arithmetic processing, etc.

Furthermore, the main body 1 side is equipped with a battery for power supply and a printer for recording data, and although the batteries and recording paper for the printer are not shown, an opening/closing lid is provided so that they can be replaced from the back of the main body 1. ing.

The computer 2 is connected to the power source by a cord in order to supply power to the computer 2 from the power source.

In this case, the length of the cord is appropriately selected so that the computer 2 can be moved freely within the accommodation chamber 11 to some extent.

On the other hand, the inside of the money storage chamber 12 is appropriately partitioned by partition walls, and is configured to store money by type, such as bills and coins.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid for opening and closing the top opening of the computer housing chamber 11, and when the registration machine is not in use, the opening of the housing chamber 11 is closed to protect the computer 2, and when the registration machine is in use, the opening is opened to protect the computer. 2 operations are possible.

Therefore, one end of the lid 3 is pivoted to the main body 1, and the lid 3 opens and closes the storage chamber 11 by rotating the pivot A portion as a fulcrum.

4 is a lid body that opens and closes the top opening of the money storage chamber 12;
One end of the lid body 4 is pivotally supported by the main body 1, and the storage chamber 12 is opened and closed by rotating the lid body 4 about the pivot 8 part as a fulcrum.

5 is a locking means, which locks the lids 3 of the storage chambers 11 and 12;
, 4 to maintain this closed state when they are closed.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a sliding handle attached to the main body 1 for carrying.When the registration machine is used, it is stored in a groove on the main body 1 side, and when the registration machine is carried, it is pulled out from the groove on the main body 1 side. It is something that can be done.

Next, in order to improve operability, the computer 2 in the computer housing chamber 11 has a structure related to the lid 3 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
It is preferable to form it as shown in the figure.

That is, as is clear from FIG. 3, a recess 23 is formed in both side walls of one end located on the display section 21 side of the calculator 2.
3 is provided with a retractable sphere 24 that protrudes a predetermined amount from the side surface of the computer 2 via a coil spring 25.

Ribs 31.31 are provided on both sides of the lid 3, and each rib 31.31 is provided with a plurality of recesses 32 at predetermined intervals, the size of which allows the spheres 24 to fit therein.

Further, as is clear from FIG. 2, spheres 26 are installed on both side walls of the other end of the computer 2 with the same structure as the spheres 24 and coil springs 25, and the spheres 26 are fitted into the front side walls of the storage chamber 11. A recess 13.13 is provided.

Therefore, when using the calculator 2, the sphere 26 is
Then, the sphere 24 is fitted into an appropriate recess 32 of the lid 3.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the calculator 2 is installed at an appropriate angle, making it extremely convenient for key operations and display recognition.

In addition, in the above explanation, the power supply of the computer 2 is connected to the registration machine main body 1.
I explained the case where the battery is removed from the battery installed inside the battery.
Since the power consumption of the calculator 2 part is extremely low, the calculator 2 itself can be equipped with a battery separately, and in this way, the calculator 2 can be freely taken out from the main body 1, making it more convenient.

As described above, in the cash register of the present invention, the main body includes a computer accommodating chamber for housing a calculator equipped with a display section and a group of input keys such as numeric keys and function keys for commercial transactions, and a computer storage chamber for storing money. A money storage room is provided, and the computer storage room is provided with a security body that protects the computer when not in use and enables calculation operations when in use, and the money storage room is configured to allow money to be taken out and stored. This is a portable cash register equipped with an opening/closing mechanism, so it can be carried and used at the customer's request location or the place of business transactions. Registration operations can be performed at any location requested by the customer, which is extremely convenient in practice in increasingly complex commercial transactions.

When the computer is carried or not in use, the computer is housed within the main body by the housing chamber and the protective body, which prevents damage to the device and makes storage extremely convenient.

Furthermore, according to the cash register of the present invention, the sphere of the calculator moves without resistance in accordance with the grounding shape of the rib of the opening/closing lid that the sphere touches, and fits into the recess of the rib at a prescribed position. As a result, since the calculator is fixed to the opening/closing lid at a predetermined angle, the optimal key operation surface angle of the calculator can be easily obtained by simply moving the calculator, without requiring any effort.
