Definitions

  • This invention relates to till cups and more particularly to a till cup and method of manufacturing the same.
  • the drawers of cash tills used in such outlets as supermarkets and garages are divided into compartments into which the various denominations of coins are sorted. This enables the sorted coins to be counted by weight, the weighing apparatus "knowing" the average weight of a coin of given denomination and determining the number of coins and thus their value by simple division of the total weight by this average weight.
  • the compartment can be lined by a so called till cup, which can be lifted out of the compartment and placed in the hopper. It is then necessary for the weighing/counting machine to "know" the weight of the till cup in order to discount it.
  • Till cups have hitherto been manufactured by moulding a suitable plastics material.
  • Such moulding equipment is not cheap and the problem facing a manufacturer of till cups is that whereas it is desirable that a till cup should be a snug fit in a drawer compartment the compartments vary considerably in dimensions from one cash till to another, so that dedicated moulding equipment is needed for each variety of cash till drawer.
  • Another problem is that it is desirable that all of the till cups for a particular drawer should be of equal weight although of different dimensions, so that the counting machine can be preset to discount a single weight value. This has been achieved by making the till cups of unequal wall thickness, which can present serious difficulties in a moulding operation.
  • a principal object of the present invention is to enable the production of till cups of varying dimensions more cheaply than by moulding techniques.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved procedure for ensuring that till cups of varying dimensions are of uniform weight, so that the figure discounted from the weighing/counting operation can be preset and the same for all till cups in a particular cash till drawer.
  • a method of manufacturing a till cup comprising cutting a flat sheet of rigid or semi-rigid material to have a base portion flanked by side and end portions, folding up the side and end portions and joining them together at the comers of the thus formed till cup.
  • Said material is preferably a plastics material such as approximately 500 micron polypropylene.
  • the sheet is preferably cut by a stamping operation.
  • lines of weakness are formed where the side and end portions are to be folded up from the base portion.
  • Flaps having tabs may be provided at the extremities of side or end portions, and slits may be formed in the end or side portions such that the tabs may be passed through the slits to join the side and end portions when bent upwardly from the base portion.
  • One of the side and end portions may be provided with an extraneous extension the dimensions of which are such that the weight of the till cup will be generally equal to the weight of a larger till cup.
  • the extraneous extension may be folded over the side or end portion on which it is provided and a tab on the extension may be inserted into a slit in said side or end portion.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a flat blank to be folded into a till cup
  • Figure 2 illustrates a flat blank of another till cup
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a till cup folded from the blank of
  • the blank 10 of Figure 1 has been stamped from a sheet of 500 micron polypropylene so as to have a rectangular base portion 11, end wall portions 12 and 13 and side wall portions 14 and 15.
  • lines of weakness indicated by the dotted lines 16 are formed in the blank to assist its subsequent folding into the shape of a till cup.
  • These lines of weakness 16 also demarcate flaps 17,17' at opposite extremities of the end wall 12 and flaps 18,18' at opposite extremities of the end wall 13.
  • the material of the blank is cut away as at 20 to permit the flaps to be bent out of the plane of the associated end wall.
  • Each flap 17,17' has on its distal side a tab 21 and 21' and each flap 18,18' has on its distal side a tab 22,22'.
  • the side walls 14 and 15 are formed respectively with slits 19,19' and slits 23,23' so positioned that when the side and end walls are folded up and the flaps 17,17' and 18,18' are folded inward each tab may be passed through an associated slit to join the side and end walls together.
  • each tab 21,21' and 22,22' is joined to the associated end wall by a neck so that after a tab has been passed through the associated slit it will resist re-emergence.
  • corresponding side edges 24,24' of the side walls 14 and 15 are at an obtuse angle to the base 11 , so that when the till cup is folded to shape it has an inclined end wall to correspond with the shape of the drawer compartment into which it will be fitted.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the blank 10A of a similar till cup, the arrows showing how the side and end walls are bent up from the base.
  • the blank 10A is in all other respects similar to the blank 10 except that the end wall 12 has an extraneous extension 12A provided with a tab 21 A and divided from the remainder of the end wall 12 by a line of weakness 16A.
  • the end wall 12 In the end wall 12 is a slit 23A into which the tab 21A can be inserted when the extension 12A is folded downward ( Figure 3).
  • the blank 10 of Figure 1 is for a till cup for the largest compartment of a drawer of a cash till.
  • the blank 10A of Figure 2 is for a till cup for a smaller compartment of the same drawer.
  • the extraneous extension 12A is provided on the blank 10A so that its weight is as nearly as possible the same as the weight of the blank 10.
  • the dimensions of the extraneous extension 12A is provided on the blank 10A so that its weight is as nearly as possible the same as the weight
  • extensions 12A have to be calculated to achieve this, so that in a range of till cup sizes extensions 12A will be inversely proportional in size to the size of the till cup.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un godet destiné à être placé dans un compartiment de tiroir-caisse, ce godet étant fabriqué à partir d'une découpe (cf. figure 1), formée dans une feuille de polypropylène, que l'on plie pour obtenir la forme de godet (cf. figure 2). Une paroi d'extrémité (12) du godet présente une extension extérieure (12A) destinée à conférer au godet le même poids qu'un godet de dimensions supérieures dépourvu de cette extension de sorte que les godets possèdent tous le même poids, quelles que soient leurs dimensions. Une machine destinée à compter des pièces de monnaie contenues dans ces godets en pesant lesdits godets peut être préréglée pour décompter cette valeur de poids uniforme.
