Definitions
- the invention relates to a till workplace according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a cash register workstation which comprises a cash register printer, a cash register keyboard which can be operated from an operator side and / or command keys, a cash register display and a customer display to be viewed from a customer side is known from WO 97/06517 AI.
- EP 0 085 482 AI describes a telecommunications terminal with a terminal housing and an alphanumeric keyboard, which is located below a command keyboard between an inserted into the terminal housing and a position pulled out of this is slidably mounted.
- an alphanumeric keyboard is constantly used, so that it makes sense to install it in the terminal housing.
- a cash desk work station only requires an alphanumeric keyboard for special applications. For cost reasons alone, it would therefore make little sense to equip every cash register workstation with such a keyboard. If you want to avoid this, different housings are required.
- at least a large part of the peripheral devices is installed in a separate housing, so that any combinations of peripheral devices are possible and these can be arranged according to the ergonomic requirements.
- the post-published EP 0 855 688 AI describes a till workstation with a Latop computer which contains a display device facing the operator side and a till keyboard.
- the laptop computer is detachably mounted on a recording unit which has a cavity which is accessible from the operator's side and in which an alphanumeric keyboard which can be moved between a working position and a hidden position is accommodated.
- This additional recording unit to be provided is connected to a carrier plate which also carries a cash register printer.
- the object of the invention is to propose a checkout workplace in which the normal checkout operation is not hindered by an alphanumeric keyboard.
- the object is solved by the features of claim 1.
- the invention is based on the consideration that the peripheral devices of a modularly structured checkout workstation need an area on which they are set up anyway.
- the peripheral devices are often set up on a specially designed cash desk, which must then have a correspondingly designed table frame.
- you now provide a worktop that carries all peripheral devices you can place it on any table top, slide it into a shelf or provide it with your own legs.
- Such a worktop can be equipped and wired with all peripheral devices far from the place of use.
- a slot-shaped cavity in which the alphanumeric keyboard is between a position inserted into and removed from a cavity standard equipment can be used and arranged on the worktop without being hindered by the alphanumeric keyboard.
- the latter is ergonomically optimal in its working position for a user, depending on the design of the cash desk workstation for a cashier or a customer.
- the alphanumeric keyboard is completely hidden without unnecessarily enlarging, in particular increasing, the housing of any peripheral device.
- the cavity can be closed at the bottom by a bottom wall.
- the cavity has a greater depth than the depth of the alphanumeric keyboard and in the cavity there is a slide, which is displaceable between an inserted position and a position which is pulled out, in which the alphanumeric keyboard is arranged.
- a standardized keyboard as is known for example from a PC or laptop, can then be used. If the insert is stored in the cavity on at least one, but preferably on two telescopic rails attached to the side walls of the insert, the displacement is particularly easy and can be tilted.
- the greater depth of the cavity compared to the depth of the alphanumeric keyboard allows a cable distributor for the connection lines leading to the peripheral devices or also to a data processing system to be accommodated behind the alphanumeric keyboard, so that the surface of the worktop is free of connecting cables.
- a peripheral device control unit and / or a data processing device can also occupy the space behind the alphanumeric keyboard.
- the alphanumeric keyboard is arranged in a front area of the insert and in the rear area of the insert a drive and / or an adapter for an exchangeable data memory.
- a drive and / or an adapter for an exchangeable data memory can be considered.
- the adapter can, for example, be a holder for a mass storage device in PCMCIA format.
- the aforementioned storage media can contain, among other things, a so-called PLU table (Price Look Up).
- the drive or the adapter can be arranged alone or in addition to a peripheral device control unit or the data processing device in the slot.
- the insert can be moved at least between a first position in which the alphanumeric keyboard is inserted into the slot-shaped cavity, a second, partially pulled-out position in which the alphanumeric keyboard is in front of the worktop, and a third position. In the latter position, the cable distributor or the peripheral device control unit, the data processing device, the drive or the adapter protrudes at least partially from the cavity and is thus accessible.
- the drive or adapter is installed in the slot so that its insertion opening for a data memory points in the direction of the alpanumeric keyboard and the drive or adapter can be pivoted between two angular positions, in the first of which the insertion opening behind the alphanumeric keyboard and in the second of which is the insertion opening above the alphanumeric keyboard.
- a spring engages the drive or the adapter, which acts on the spring with one in the direction of the second angular position Force applied.
- the drive or the receptacle is pivoted by the spring into the second angular position, as a result of which the insertion opening is free and a storage medium can be inserted into or removed from it.
- the till work station is advantageously designed so that the drive or the adapter is positively controlled from the second to the first angular position when moving the drawer from the third to the second position and maintains this when moving from the second to the first position.
- an elastically deformable latching projection is provided on the inside of a wall of the cavity and at least one trough-shaped counter-latch assigned to the second position is provided on the insert, or vice versa.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic side view of the worktop with the alphanumeric keyboard completely pulled out of it, corresponding to FIG. 2, FIG.
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic plan view of the worktop in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 1 shows a cash register work station 10 in a perspective front view. This includes a worktop 12, on the front of which an operator side 14 facing area a cash desk keyboard 16 is set up.
- the cash register keyboard 16 is equipped with numeric keys 18 and command keys 20, a swipe magnetic card reader 22 and a key switch 24.
- a cashier display 26 is arranged at the rear edge of the cash register keyboard 16.
- a cash register printer 32 is set up on the rear area of the worktop 12 facing a customer side 30 so that receipts 36 issued from its dispensing opening 34 can be gripped by the operator side 14.
- a flap 40 which can be pivoted about an axis 38 in the direction of arrow A, is arranged below the dispensing opening 34, behind which a paper supply (not shown), for example a receipt roll, is mounted.
- the flap 40 projects beyond the printer housing 42 on one side and is provided with a recessed grip 44 in the area of the overhang, which facilitates the handling of the flap 40.
- the return to the customer side 30 side of the cash register printer 32 carries a large-area customer display 46 (FIG. 3).
- a horizontal, slit-shaped cavity 48 open to the operator side 14 is embedded in the worktop 12.
- an insert 50 is displaceably mounted in the direction of an arrow B between a first position P1 inserted into the cavity 48 and a third position P3 extracted from this, as will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
- An alphanumeric keyboard 52 is arranged in the front area of the insert 50 facing the customer side 14. 1 shows the insert 50 in a second position P2, in which the alphanumeric keyboard 52 is just protruding completely out of the cavity 48.
- FIG. 2 shows the cash desk work station 10 with the insert completely pulled out of the worktop 12 into the third position P3.
- the alphanumeric keyboard 52 is in this position with such a distance in front of the worktop 12 that behind it a data processing device 54 and next to it a floppy disk drive 56 protrude from the cavity 48.
- An insertion opening 58 of the floppy disk drive 56 for floppy disks lies in this position P3 of the slot 50 above the alphanumeric keyboard 52.
- a CD-ROM drive or an adapter for a semiconductor memory in PCMCIA format can also be used be arranged on the insert 50.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 show the worktop 12 with the insert 50 pulled out of it up to the third position P3 in a schematic side view and top view.
- a conical compression spring 60 is arranged under the front area of the floppy disk drive 56, one leg of which is supported on the bottom 62 of the insert 50 and the other leg of which is supported on the underside of the floppy disk drive 56.
- the disk drive 56 pivots about an axis 64 from its first angular position 56 'shown in broken lines in the direction of its second angular position 56 "shown in solid lines.
- the disk drive 56 slides along the upper boundary edge 66 of the cavity opening 68.
- the floppy disk drive 56 is pivoted downward against the force of the conical compression spring 60 into its first angular position 56 ′′, which it occupies when the insert 50 is fully inserted and in which it is held.
- FIG. 5 in a partially sectioned schematic plan view of a section of the worktop 12, there is an elastically deformable locking projection 72 on the inside of a side wall 70 of the hollow 48 and one on the insert 50 is assigned to positions P1, P2, P3 trough-shaped counter detents 74, 76, 78 are provided.
- P1, P2, P3 trough-shaped counter detents 74, 76, 78 are provided.
- a reverse arrangement is of course also possible.
- the insert 48 is inserted into the cavity 48 so far that the front side 82 of the insert 50 is flush with the front side 80 of the worktop. In this position P1, the latching projection 72 engages in the counter latch 74.
- the insert 50 is pulled out of the cavity 48 until closes the rear 84 of the alphanumeric keyboard 52 with the front 80 of the worktop 12.
- the catch projection 72 engages in the counter catch 76 and holds the insert 50 firmly in this position, so that the alphanumeric keyboard 52 cannot move when it is actuated.
- the insert 50 is pulled completely out of the cavity 48 until the latching projection 72 engages in the counter latch 78.
- the floppy disk drive 56 is pivoted into its second angular position 56 ′′, so that its insertion opening 58 projects beyond the alphanumeric keyboard 52.
- the alphanumeric keyboard 52 In the first position P1 of the insert 50, the alphanumeric keyboard 52 is therefore hidden in the cavity 48 and in the second position P2 the alphanumeric keyboard 52 is in its working position. In the third position P3 of the insert 50, the alphanumeric keyboard 52 protrudes further out of the cavity 48 than in the second position P2.
- 12 telescopic rails 86 are arranged on the inside of the side walls 70 of the worktop (only one can be seen in FIG. 4), which has a fixed rail part 88 fastened to the respective side wall 70 and at least comprise an extendable, movable rail part 90 carrying the insert 50.
