Description

450 051 using this quick query programming keyboard, an operator in a memory unit 4 can enter kilogram prices, codes and product names for the merchandise. Such entry can be performed without codes with a code key after pressing a function key F. The memory 4 is provided with a number of memory locations corresponding to, for example, the number of alphanumeric keys. If required, the number of memory locations can be increased by using different combinations of letters and / or numbers such as a code key to the memory location. The significance of such a code key is explained in more detail below. The product data points or the product information written in the memory 4 can be printed with the aid of a printing press 5 on three different labels 6, 7 and 8, the significance of which is described in more detail below.

When the keyboard 2, 3 has been used to enter the necessary product information (e.g. title and kilo price for a product) in one of the memory locations of the memory 4, pressing a print key causes the printing unit 5 to print a label 6 intended for The assistant and which is thus intended to be attached to a price mat 9 so that the label faces the assistant. A special feature of this label 6, apart from the fact that it is always and immediately obtained from the printing plant when data points at the memory location have been changed, is that it is marked with a code key, in this case the letter A, which means that wrapping what the code key calls for, serves to indicate the data points on the price tag for a later weighed product at the memory location in question. " the print key another label 7, which is intended to be attached to the price mat 9 and which is intended to be "facing" the buyer. the council and the buyer see the desired product data points on labels 6 and 7 which are attached to the price marking mat 9. The labels can be of so-called self-adhesive type which makes it easy to staple new labels to old ones when the product data points change.

The price marking mats 9 can consist of plastic rods because "obtain a price tag or label for the product, such rods are inexpensive and can be discarded when too many labels are glued on top of each other. The rods 9 can be attached, for example, by means of a magnet 10. , on any steel bracket or steel rail that, is in the sales counter.

From the code key A on the label 6, which is facing the assistant, the keyboard 2 he must press so that from the printing unit 5 the assistant immediately sees which letter is to be weighed. Thus, after placing the product on the scale 1 for Weighing, the assistant only needs to enter or press a single key determined by the code key in order to obtain a price tag 8, which shows e.g. the weight, the price per kilo, the price, the date of sale and the product name of a weighed product.

Attaching this price tag to the product's packaging is also important for the customer because he can then, by looking at the label, see what the packaging contains without the need to open the packaging.

Although in the embodiment shown above the keyboards 2, 3 and the printing unit 5 are shown in connection with a scale 1, it is clear that these units can be independent of the scale and that they are instead in the cash department. In the latter case, it is necessary that in e.g. may be located in the vicinity of the store 1 of the scale 1 arranging a quick question keyboard whereby an assistant, from a memory location determined by the code on the label 6, obtains the product data points required for the label 8.

From the above it is clear that the price labeling system according to the invention offers the following advantages: a price labeling system based on labels discharged from a printing plant 5 and fixed by sticking, whereby the price labeling system is economical and practically does not incur any costs at all compared to others. price marking system, - prices are easy to keep up to date, - an assistant does not need any instructions to use the system and does not need to remember the prices "4so 051 per unit, _ 7 - saves work and time and avoids traffic jams, - avoids entry of incorrect price per unit, the customer products are provided with a product name, the quick question keys are directly available, - it is possible to use a quick code in connection with the price tag 8 produced by the printing house.
