Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a label issuing device for issuing labels on which prices and the like are displayed to be attached to goods for sale, and particularly to improvements in unit price setting means.

The label issuing device calculates the weight and unit price of an article to be sold, and issues a label displaying the price, weight, unit price, item name, or item code.

In this case, it is necessary to input information indicating the unit price per standard weight of the item into the price calculation section and label issuing section (this operation is called unit price setting), but conventionally, this unit price setting was This was done by operating the numeric keypad each time the item to be purchased changed.

However, with this method, the operator must either accurately memorize the unit price values for multiple items, or have a unit price list corresponding to each item, and check the unit prices each time to set them using the numeric keypad. In either case, a heavy burden is placed on the operator.

Also, since numerical values were entered one digit at a time, setting errors were likely to occur.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and is a label that allows the operator to set unit prices extremely easily and accurately without having to memorize the unit prices corresponding to each item or use a unit price list. The purpose is to provide a publishing device.

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

FIG. 1 shows a wiring diagram of a label issuing device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an external view.

Note that corresponding parts in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are given the same reference numerals.

11 is an electronic scale that detects the weight of the article and generates an electric signal (hereinafter referred to as a weight signal) according to the weight; this weight signal is supplied to the weight storage section 12;
A part of the output of No. 2 is supplied to the weight display section 13.

On the other hand, reference numeral 14 denotes an item selection board, which includes a group of item selection switches 5i-3n provided corresponding to each item.

This item selection switch group Si to Sn is equipped with an operation section 15 displaying the corresponding item name, and in conjunction with the switch operation, the item selection board 14 clearly indicates to the operator which switch has been selected. It is assumed that a display device (for example, a lamp) is built-in.

The item selection switch group 5ixSn is connected to the unit price storage section 16.

This unit price storage section 16 stores the unit price per reference weight (for example, 100 g) corresponding to each item in a different address in advance, and turns on the item selected by the item selection switch group Si to Sn, that is, from among S1 to Sn. This unit price signal is supplied to the weight display section 17, and is further supplied to the price calculation section 1 along with the weight signal from the unit price storage section 12.
8.

This price calculation section 18 calculates the price of the article by calculating the product of the weight signal and the unit price signal, and the price signal that is the output thereof is supplied to the label issuing section 19 together with the weight signal and the unit price signal. Ru.

The label issuing section 19 is further supplied with the output of an item-code conversion section 20 that generates a code signal for the item selected by the item selection switch group 14.

As a result, the label issuing section 19 prints and displays the item code, unit price, weight, price, etc. on the label supplied from the label supply section 21, and displays the printed label 2 on the label deriving section 22.
Send out 3.

The label thus obtained is affixed to the article by a label affixing mechanism (not shown) or manually.

As described above, the present invention includes the unit price storage unit 16 in which the unit price per unit weight corresponding to each item is stored in advance and the item selection switch groups 5i-3n in which the item names are displayed on each operation unit, and the switch groups Si to By operating Sn, the unit price storage unit 1
6, the unit price is set by selectively reading out the unit price signal corresponding to an arbitrary item, and the item code of the selected item is output from the item code conversion section.

Therefore, even if the operator does not know the unit price of the item he or she wants to select, the unit price can be set by simply displaying the item and pressing the item selection switch arranged on a flat surface. be able to.

Therefore, the operation can be easily performed not only by the operator in the parlor but also by an inexperienced person.

In other words, this device can be installed in a sales floor that sells indeterminate quantities of meat, fruits and vegetables, and customers can weigh and price the products themselves.

Furthermore, although the unit price in this type of application is generally multi-digit, setting the unit price can be done with a single switch operation regardless of this, and there is no need for multiple operations like using a numeric keypad. There is almost no chance of making a mistake, and it has the advantage of being able to set unit prices accurately.

In addition, the operated switch is displayed with a lamp etc.
Even if the operator makes a mistake in operating the switch, the mistake can be immediately discovered.

Furthermore, since the item code is always printed on the label in addition to the price, it is possible to prevent the label from being attached to the wrong product for sale.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the item code, unit price,
Although the weight and price are displayed, it is not always necessary to display all of this information; for example, the unit price may be omitted, or only the item code and price may be displayed.

Further, other information such as September 9, 2015 can also be displayed on the same label.

Further, in the embodiment described above, items are displayed on each operating section of the item selection switch group, but it goes without saying that the items may be displayed at a predetermined position near the operating section.
