Description

A CASH REGISTER THE COVER OF WHICH IS EASILY MOUNTED TO THE
BODY
[0001] The present invention relates to a cash register.
[0002] The cash register is used for recording the sales transactions, printing the receipt for the consumer and sometimes for storing cash money. The cash register houses the components such as the keypad, the printer, paper roll, display and the processor inside its body in order to perform its function. The cash register consists of a body and a cover mounted on the body. Variously shaped detent means, screws or combinations of these are used while mounting the cover on the body. The cover wobbles on the body after being mounted on the body by means of detent means. The screws make the assembly of the cash register difficult.
[0003] In the state of the art Japanese Patent Application No JP1 1031275,
protrusions formed on the base for mounting the cover to the base and the latches on the cover that are inserted into these protrusions are explained. The cover mounted to the base by means of protrusions and latches is fixed to the base by a screw.
[0004] The aim of the present invention is the realization of a cash register the cover of which is easily mounted to the body.
[0005] The cash register realized in order to attain the aim of the present
invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, is provided with a body formed of a base and walls that rise from around this base and wherein all or some of the components like keypad, screen, printer, paper roll are placed and a cover that covers the body by being seated on the edges of this body. In the body, at least one protrusion in approximately triangle shape that extends from the inner part of the front wall of the body by getting narrower towards the cover is provided. In the cover, at least one extension which extends starting from a point near the lower surface of the cover towards the wall on which the protrusion is located such as to surround the protrusion from below when the cover is mounted to the body and that bears against the inner surface of the wall on which the protrusion is located is provided. A receiving section between the extension and the cover, and the inlet of which is at the end of the cover is disposed. This receiving section encloses the protrusion when the cover is mounted to the body. In an embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the protrusion facing the cover makes a right angle with the wall on which it is located. Thus, the cover seated thereon is supported more efficiently.
[0006] In another embodiment of the present invention, the cross section of the protrusion is in the form of a quarter circle. In this embodiment, one vertical side of the quarter circle bears against the wall on which the protrusion is located. The quarter circle cross sectioned surface of the protrusion faces the base. In this embodiment, the cross section of the extension surrounding the protrusion from below is also in the form of a quarter circle. Accordingly, the extension rotates around the protrusion easily.
[0007] In another embodiment of the present invention, the cross section of the protrusion is a complete triangle.
[0008] In the cash register, furthermore, two screw paths which are located on the cover and on the body and which become concentric when the cover is mounted to the body are provided.
[0009] In another embodiment of the present invention, the front wall stands
slanted towards the outside of the cash register such that there is an acute angle between the base and itself. In this embodiment, the cover rises from the front wall and then bends downwards and seats on the rear wall. The slanted front wall is subjected to the weight of the cover thus the protrusion and the receiving section are more tightly interlocked with each other. Moreover, in this embodiment the screw path is situated at the highest point of the cover. Therefore, when screwing is performed, the cover expands towards both the front wall and the rear wall. Consequently, the force originating from expanding of the cover is distributed to two sides thereby providing the cover to be seated better on the body.
[0010] A cash register realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:
[001 1] Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a body. [0012] Figure 2 - is the view of detail A in Figure 1.
[0013] Figure 3 - is the perspective view of a cover.
[0014] Figure 4 - is the view of detail B in Figure 3.
[0015) Figure 5 - is the sideways cross sectional view of a cash register while the cover Is mounted to the body.
[0016] Figure 6 - is the sideways cross sectional view of a cash register after the cover is mounted to the body.
[0017] Figure 7 - is the view of detail C in Figure 5.
[0018] Figure 8 - is the cross-sectional view of detail B in Figure 3.
[0019] The elements Illustrated In the figures are numbered as follows:
1. Cash register
2. Body
3. Cover
4. Protrusion
5. Extension
6. Receiving section
7. and 107: Screw path
8. Base
9. Front wall
10 Side wall
11 Rear wall
[0020] The cash register (1) comprises,
- a body (2) having a base (8), a front wall (9), side walls ( 0) and a rear wall (11) rising from the sides of the base (8) and
- a cover (3) having at least one keypad opening (TA), at least one screen opening (EA) and at least one paper opening (KA) and which covers the body (2) by being mounted on the body (2)
[0021] (Figure 1 and Figure 3).
[0022] The cash register (1) of the present invention comprises,
- at least one protrusion (4) disposed on the surface of the front wall (9) facing the inside of the body (2), with an approximately triangle shaped cross section, providing the cover (3) to be mounted to the body (2),
- at least one extension (5) disposed on the surface of the cover (3) facing the body (2), extending towards the front wall (9) such as to surround the protrusion (4) from below, bearing against the front wall (9) when the cover (3) is mounted to the body (2) and
- at least one receiving section (6) disposed between the cover (3) and the extension (5), which encloses the protrusion (4) such as to be surrounded from above by the cover (3) and from below by the extension (5) when the cover (3) is mounted to the body (2).
[0023] (Figure 2 and Figure 4).
[0024] The cover (3) bears on the protrusion (4) such as to form an angle with the body (2) while being mounted to the body (2). In this stage, the receiving section (6) partially encloses the protrusion (4) (Figure 5). Rotating the cover (3) towards the body (2) becomes possible by means of the protrusion (4) with an approximately triangle shaped cross section and the configuration of the extension (5) surrounding the protrusion (4) from below. After bearing on the protrusion (4), the cover (3) is rotated around the point it bears on towards the body (2). Thus, the extension (5) surrounds the protrusion (4) from below and bears against the front wall (9). In this stage, the cover (3) seats on the body (2) and covers the body (2). Furthermore, the protrusion (4) remains inside the receiving section (6) such as to be surrounded by the cover (3) from above and by the extension (5) from below (Figure 6). Accordingly, the cover (3) does not wobble on the body (2).
[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface (Y1 ) of the protrusion (4) facing the cover (3) is perpendicular to the front wall (9). Thus, the protrusion (4) supports the cover (3) seated thereon better (Figure 2).
[0026] The lower surface (Y2) of the protrusion (4) facing the base (8) is in
convex form. In this embodiment, the extension (5) is also in convex form.
Consequently, the cover (3) mounted by being rotated towards the body
(2) is rotated more easily (Figure 2).
[0027] In another embodiment of the present invention, the lower surface (Y2) of the protrusion (4) facing the base (8) is flat. In this embodiment, the extension (5) is also in flat form. [0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, the cash register (1 ) furthermore comprises a screw path (7) on the cover (3) and a screw path (107) disposed on the body (2) which is aligned with the screw path (7) on the cover (3) when the cover (3) is mounted to the body (2). After being mounted to the body (2), the cover (3) is secured to the body (2) such as not to displace by means of the screw passing from the screw paths (7, 107).
[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention, the front wall (9) stands slanted such that there is an obtuse angle between the base (8) and itself. In this embodiment, the cover (3) rises from the level of the front wall (9) to form an acute angle with the plane of the base (8) and descends after a point and seats on the rear wall (1 1 ). Consequently, the weight of the cover (3) applies a force to the front wall (9) and the protrusion (4) is seated in the receiving section (6) more tightly. Moreover, in this
embodiment the screw path (7) is situated at the highest point of the cover (3). Consequently, the cover (3) expanding after screwing is seated on the body (2) better by applying force both to the front wall (9) and to the rear wall (1 1 ) (Figure 5 and Figure 6).
[0030] The cover (3) is provided to be easily mounted to the body (2) by means of the protrusion (4), the extension (5) and the receiving section (6) explicated in the present invention.
[0031] It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the
embodiments disclosed above and a person skilled in the art can easily introduce different embodiments. These should be considered within the scope of the protection postulated by the claims of the present invention.
