Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cash register stand on which a cash register device used in a store or the like is placed.

Background Art

[0002] In stores such as supermarkets, checkout counters are installed for performing accounting operations associated with product purchases and the like in a state where customers and store employees face each other. A general checkout counter as shown in Patent Document 1 is configured in a long table shape with a cash register disposed substantially at the center in the longitudinal direction, and a customer flow path is formed along one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction. The customer places a shopping basket on the upstream side of the checkout counter, and the store employee reads the barcode of the product in the shopping basket with a reading device of the cash register, accommodates the product in an empty shopping basket disposed on the downstream side of the checkout counter, and is responsible for operations such as product delivery and payment.

[0003] In recent years, in addition to the above-described face-to-face cash registers, there are self-checkout and semi-self-checkout in order to improve the efficiency of accounting operations. Since self-checkout is a method in which the customer himself / herself reads the product barcode and performs the payment operation, store employees are not required for the accounting operation, leading to the elimination of labor shortages and reduction of labor costs. Semi-self-checkout has the merit that the store employee only reads the product barcode, and for payment, the customer settles accounts using a payment machine, leading to the elimination of mistakes and miscalculations during money handling.

[0004] In recent years, instead of a cash register as shown in Patent Document 1 in which a display device, a reading device, a change device, etc. are integrated, a cash register is configured by connecting a plurality of devices with different functions respectively. Thus, for example, by replacing or adding a cashless payment terminal, it has become possible to easily cope with the specifications of cashless payment that increase year by year. In addition, since a cash register can be configured by omitting devices with unnecessary functions, cash registers for self-checkout and semi-self-checkout described above can be prepared at low cost.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] When configuring a register by connecting a plurality of devices with different functions respectively, the configurations and their layout arrangements required in different face-to-face registers, self-checkout registers, semi-self-checkout registers, and other various conditions are different. Considering operability, it is preferable that the height positions of the respective devices are also arranged at optimal positions. A register stand that can adjust the layout according to various conditions has been desired.

[0007] The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and an object thereof is to provide a register stand capable of adjusting the layout of a plurality of devices with different functions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the register stand of the present invention is a register stand on which various devices constituting a register used in a store can be installed, comprising a register stand main body and a device mounting body arranged on the upper part of the register stand main body so as to be able to change its front-rear position, characterized in that the depth dimension of the device mounting body is smaller than the depth dimension of the register stand main body. According to this feature, since the device mounting body is smaller in depth dimension than the depth dimension of the register base main body, it is possible to form arrangement regions with different heights in the front-rear direction for the device mounting body and the portion without the device mounting body respectively, and various devices can be appropriately arranged at different heights. Further, by changing the position of the device mounting body in the front-rear direction, various devices for configuring the register in a free layout according to conditions, such as face-to-face cash register, self-checkout, and semi-self-checkout, where all operations from reading the product barcode to payment are performed by the store clerk, can be installed.

[0009] The device mounting body is characterized in that it is provided with a convex portion at the lower end, and the convex portion is inserted into a long hole formed in the register base main body and is slidable in the front-rear direction. According to this feature, by sliding on the register base main body, the front-rear position of the device mounting body can be easily changed, the movement range can be defined by the long hole, and the device mounting body can be moved safely.

[0010] The left and right dimensions of the device mounting body are the same as the left and right dimensions of the register base main body. According to this feature, regardless of the front-rear position of the device mounting body, the side surfaces of the device mounting body and the register base main body are flush, which is excellent in appearance.

[0011] The device mounting body is configured to have a space penetrating in the front-rear direction by a standing portion rising upward and a top plate portion supported by the standing portion and disposed spaced above the register base main body. According to this feature, various devices can be appropriately arranged in the space under the device mounting body, and the degree of freedom of the layout is high.

[0012] One side in the front-rear direction of the space of the device mounting body is closed by a cover body, and the cover body is detachably engaged with the device mounting body and the register base main body respectively. According to this feature, by closing the space penetrated by the cover body, the wiring of the device arranged in the space below the device mounting body is hidden, which is excellent in appearance. Moreover, by engaging the cover body with both the device mounting body and the register stand main body, the relative movement of the device mounting body in the front-rear direction with respect to the register stand main body can be restricted.

[0013] The cover body has a plate portion and a hook-shaped engaging portion protruding from the back side of the plate portion, and the engaging portion is engaged with an engaged portion formed on the left and right inner sides of the standing portion of the device mounting body. According to this feature, the engaged portion formed on the left and right inner sides of the standing portion of the device mounting body that engages with the engaging portion of the cover body is not exposed outward from the space below the device mounting body, and it is excellent in appearance.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] A mode for implementing the register stand according to the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment.

Embodiment

[0016] The register stand according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. Hereinafter, the front left side of FIG. 1 is defined as the front side (front side), and in a front view, the left side is the left side and the right side is the right side for description.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the register stand 1 of the present embodiment is installed in the sales floor of a supermarket, and together with separate portable stands 2A and 2B arranged so as to sandwich the register stand 1 from left and right, it constitutes a checkout counter C having a longitudinal length in the left-right direction.

[0018] The checkout counters C are arranged in a plurality of sets in parallel, and the space between adjacent checkout counters C serves as a customer passage or a store employee's working space. The checkout counters are arranged so as to separate customers and store employees. In FIG. 1, the front side is the store employee's working space S, and the opposite side sandwiching the checkout counter is the customer passage A, and a customer flow line is formed from the lower right to the upper left of the screen.

[0019] The customer places a shopping basket (not shown) on the stand 2A which is the upstream side of the checkout counter C, and the store employee reads the barcode of the goods in the shopping basket with the reading device 52 of the register 50, and accommodates the goods in an empty shopping basket arranged on the stand 2B which is the downstream side of the checkout counter, and is responsible for operations such as delivery and payment of the goods.

[0020] The register 50 in FIG. 1 is configured by connecting a display device 51, a reading device 52, a cashless payment terminal 53, and a change device 54 respectively. Also, the register 50 in FIG. 1 is of a specification in which all operations such as reading the product barcode and payment work are performed by the store employee (so-called face-to-face register specification).

[0021] The display device 51 includes displays 51a and 51b for the customer side and the store clerk side respectively, and can display the accounting amount, various operation instructions, etc. The reading device 52 and the cashless settlement terminal 53 are each movable and can be arranged facing either the customer side or the store clerk side. In this embodiment, the display device 51, the reading device 52, and the cashless settlement terminal 53 are arranged on the equipment mounting body 4 which will be described in detail later, and the change dispensing device 54 is arranged under the equipment mounting body 4.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2, the cash register stand 1 is composed of a cash register stand main body 3 installed on the floor surface, an equipment mounting body 4 arranged on the upper part of the cash register stand main body 3, and a cover body 5 which will be described in detail later.

[0023] The cash register stand main body 3 is mainly composed of a frame body (not shown), an upper surface panel 6, and panel materials arranged on four side surfaces. The panel materials arranged on the side surfaces are such that a pair of front and rear panel materials 7A and 7B, and lower panel materials 7C and 7D have the same configuration respectively, and a pair of left and right panel materials 8A and 8B have the same configuration. Although not described in detail in the figure, the cash register stand main body 3 has a space inside that can accommodate devices constituting the register 50, other devices, and wiring.

[0024] The left and right panel materials 8A are formed by bending a metal plate, with the tips of the four sides folded inward, and rib portions 18 are formed on all four sides respectively. Only the upper rib portion 18 is shown here, but the upper surface 18a of the upper rib portion 18 is flush with the upper surface 6a of the upper surface panel 6, and elongated holes 10, 10 extending in the front - rear direction are formed at symmetric positions on the central side of the upper surface 18a.

[0025] The front and rear panel materials 7A are formed by bending a metal plate, with the tips of the four sides folded inward, and rib portions 17 are formed on all four sides respectively. Only the upper rib portion 17 is shown here, but the upper surface 17a of the upper rib portion 17 is flush with the upper surface 6a of the upper surface panel 6, and slits 9, 9 are formed at symmetric positions on the central side of the upper surface 17a.

[0026] The machine mounting body 4 is composed of a standing portion 11 that rises upward and a top plate portion 12 supported by the standing portion 11. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, by being placed on the upper part of the register stand main body 3, the top plate portion 12 supported by the standing portion 11 and the upper surface 6a of the register stand main body 3 are vertically separated, and a space 20 penetrating in the depth direction (that is, the front-rear direction) is partitioned by the left and right standing portions 11, the top plate portion 12, and the upper surface 6a of the register stand main body 3.

[0027] Particularly referring to FIG. 3, the standing portion 11 includes rib portions 21 on the column where the tips of the front and rear sides are folded inward, and although the rib portions 21 are not shown in detail here, they are fixed to the inner surface 11a of the standing portion 11 by welding or the like. A cross bar member 13 is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate portion 12 in the front-rear direction, and the cross bar member 13 and the rib portions 21 are fixed.

[0028] A pin 22 having a large-diameter head 22a is fixed to the inner surface 21a of the rib portion 21 of the standing portion 11. The pin 22 constitutes an engaged portion to be described later. Also, the dimension of the standing portion 11 in the depth direction is smaller than the dimension of the top plate portion 12 in the depth direction, and as shown in FIG. 6, both front and rear end edges 11b of the standing portion 11 (that is, the outer edge portions of the rib portions 21) are located inside both front and rear end edges 12a of the top plate portion 12.

[0029] Also, a guide piece 14 is fixed to the lower end of the standing portion 11. The guide piece 14 includes a base portion 14a fixed along the inner surface 11a of the standing portion 11, a lower surface portion 14b bent at a right angle inward from the lower end of the base portion 14a, and sheet-like convex portions 14c, 14c formed by being bent and hanging downward at symmetric positions in the depth direction of the lower surface portion 14b.

[0030] When the equipment mounting body 4 is placed on the upper part of the register base body 3, the convex portions 14c, 14c of the guide pieces 14 are respectively inserted into the elongated holes 10, 10 formed in the rib portions 18 at the upper parts of the left and right panel members 8A, 8B constituting the register base body 3. In this way, when the convex portions 14c, 14c are inserted into the elongated holes 10, 10, the movement of the equipment mounting body 4 in the left - right direction is restricted, and within the movement range in the depth direction allowed by the longitudinal dimension of the elongated holes 10, 10, it can slide - move in the depth direction on the register base body 3.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 4, at the cover body 5, the tips of the upper part and both left and right parts are folded back inward, and rib portions 23, 24, 24 are respectively formed thereon. Also, the lower part of the cover body 5 is folded back vertically inward to form a lower surface portion 25, and on this lower surface portion 25, sheet - like convex portions 26, 26 that hang downward are formed at symmetric positions in the left - right direction and are spaced apart.

[0032] Also, on the inner surface (in other words, the back surface) of the surface portion 5c of the cover body 5, hook members 27 are fixed to both left and right ends thereof. The hook member 27 has a hook - shaped portion 27a that protrudes toward the inner side in the depth direction and opens downward. The hook - shaped portion 27a constitutes an engaging means that can be engaged with and disengaged from the pin 22 (see FIG. 3) fixed to the aforementioned equipment mounting body 4 from above.

[0033] Next, the assembly structure of the register base 1 and the procedure for the deformation of the equipment mounting body 4 from the state fixed to one side (the back side) to the state fixed to the other side (the front side) will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 6, and 7. As shown in FIG. 6(a), the cover body 5 is connected to the register base body 3 so as not to be relatively movable in the depth direction by engaging the convex portions 26 with the slits 9, 9 formed in the register base body 3. Also, the hook - shaped portion 27a of the hook member 27 is engaged with the pin 22 fixed to the equipment mounting body 4, so that it is connected to the equipment mounting body 4 so as not to be relatively movable in the depth direction. That is, the register base body 3 and the equipment mounting body 4 are in a state where they are not relatively movable in the depth direction via the cover body 5.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 8, the respective separation distances L1 and L2 between one end 11b of the standing portion 11 of the equipment mounting body 4 and one end of the convex portions 14c, 14c of the guide piece 14, and the respective separation distances L3 and L4 between the inner end 17b of either the front and rear panel members 7A, 7B of the register stand main body 3 (here, the front and rear panel member 7B) and one end of the long holes 10, 10 are the same distance. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 6(a), in the state where the convex portion 14c of the equipment mounting body 4 is moved to one end of the long hole 10 of the register stand main body 3, one end 11b of the standing portion 11 is flush with the inner end 17b of the front and rear panel member 7B of the register stand main body 3.

[0035] Also, as shown in Fig. 8, since the front and rear thickness L5 of the cover body 5 is the same as the thickness L6 of the front and rear panel member 7B, as shown in Fig. 6(a), in the state where the convex portion 14c of the equipment mounting body 4 is moved to one end of the long hole 10 of the register stand main body 3, the outer surface 5a of the cover body 5 and the outer surface 17c of the front and rear panel member 7B, and the inner surface 5b of the cover body 5 and the inner end 17b of the front and rear panel member 7B are flush with each other.

[0036] When changing the front and rear positions of the equipment mounting body 4 along with the layout change, first, as shown in Fig. 6(b), the cover body 5 is removed. Specifically, by moving the cover body 5 upward, the convex portion 26 is pulled out from the slit 9 of the register stand main body 3, and the hook-shaped portion 27a of the hook member 27 is disengaged from the pin 22 of the equipment mounting body 4.

[0037] Thereby, the equipment mounting body 4, which has become relatively movable in the depth direction on the register stand main body 3, is moved to the other side in the depth direction (see Fig. 6(c)). At this time, the convex portion 14c of the equipment mounting body 4 is moved to the other end of the long hole 10 of the register stand main body 3.

[0038] Next, as shown in Fig. 7(a), the cover body 5 is moved below the top plate portion 12 of the equipment mounting body 4, and the upper rib portion 23 of the cover body 5 is temporarily brought into contact with the lower surface 12b of the top plate portion 12 of the equipment mounting body 4. Thereby, the hook-shaped portion 27a of the hook member 27 is positioned above the pin 22.

[0039] Then, as shown in FIG. 7(b), with the cover body 5 moved downward along one end portion 11b of the standing portion 11 of the equipment mounting body 4 in the above state, the convex portion 26 is inserted into the slit 9 of the register base body 3, and the hook-shaped portion 27a of the hook member 27 is engaged with the pin 22 of the equipment mounting body 4 to complete the assembly.

[0040] In this way, various devices can be appropriately arranged at different heights on the register base body 3 and the equipment mounting body 4 arranged above it. By changing the position of the equipment mounting body 4 in the front-rear direction, various devices constituting the register 50 can be installed in a free layout according to conditions, such as a face-to-face register, a self-checkout register, or a semi-self-checkout register, where all operations from reading the product barcode to payment are performed by the store clerk.

[0041] Further, since the convex portion 14c of the guide piece 14 provided at the lower end of the equipment mounting body 4 is inserted into the long hole 10 formed in the register base body 3, the equipment mounting body 4 can slide in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the movement range is defined by the long hole 10, the equipment mounting body 4 can be positioned at both end positions in the front-rear direction, the front-rear direction position of the equipment mounting body 4 can be easily changed, the equipment mounting body 4 can be prevented from falling in the front-rear, left-right directions, and it can be moved safely.

[0042] In addition, since the left-right dimension of the equipment mounting body 4 is the same as the left-right dimension of the register base body 3, regardless of the front-rear position of the equipment mounting body 4, the side surfaces of the equipment mounting body 4 and the register base body 3 are flush, which is excellent in appearance. In addition, since the outer surface 5a of the cover body 5 and the outer surface 17c of one of the front-rear panel members 7A (7B) are flush, it is difficult to visually recognize that these equipment mounting body 4, cover body 5, and register base body 3 are formed separately.

[0043] Further, the equipment mounting body 4 is formed in a downward U-shape in a front view, having a space 20 penetrating through in the front-rear direction, with a standing portion 11 rising upward and a top plate portion 12 supported by the standing portion 11 and spaced above the register base body 3. Therefore, various devices can be appropriately arranged in the space 20 below the equipment mounting body 4 respectively, and the degree of freedom of layout is high.

[0044] This embodiment is an example of the usage of the register stand 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a change-making device 54 is inserted and arranged in the space 20 below the equipment mounting body 4. The dimension of the equipment mounting body 4 in the depth direction is smaller than that of the register base body 3, and one end of the register base body 3 has no equipment mounting body 4 positioned above it, forming an open portion above. Generally, the change-making device 54 is provided with a coin insertion opening 54a above the front end portion. On the contrary, since the upper part of the change-making device 54 extending to one end of the register base body 3 is open, the change-making device 54 does not protrude outward in the depth direction of the register base body 3, or the protruding amount is small, the change-making device 54 can be installed, and the influence on the working space S for the specified number of people is small.

[0045] Also, by arranging the change-making device 54 facing the customer passage A side, it can be changed to the form of self-checkout or semi-self-checkout where the customer performs the payment operation by himself. To change to this form, the equipment mounting body 4 is positioned on the store clerk's working space S side, and the change-making device 54 is turned around front and back and inserted again into the space 20 below the equipment mounting body 4 so that the coin insertion opening 54a is positioned on the customer passage A side. In this way, various devices constituting the register 50 including the change-making device 54 can be effectively utilized, and the hurdle of the conversion work is low.

[0046] Further, since the convex portion 14c of the equipment mounting body 4 is inserted into the long hole 10 and can slide stably in the front-rear direction, when converting to self-checkout or semi-self-checkout, etc., the equipment mounting body 4 can be moved while various devices constituting the register 50 are arranged on the top plate portion 12 of the equipment mounting body 4.

[0047] Also, even when the change-making device 54 is arranged so as to be operable from the customer passage A side, the change-making device 54 does not project outward in the depth direction of the register stand main body 3, that is, it does not project into the customer passage A. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the layout of the checkout counter C itself due to the conversion to self-checkout or semi-self-checkout.

[0048] In addition, since one of the front-rear directions of the space 20 under the device mounting body 4 can be blocked by the cover body 5, the wiring of the devices arranged in the space 20 can be hidden, and it has excellent aesthetics.

[0049] Also, the cover body 5 can be detachably engaged with the device mounting body 4 and the register stand main body 3 respectively. By engaging the hook-shaped portion 27a of the hook member 27 of the cover body 5 with the pin 22 of the device mounting body 4 and the convex portion 26 at the lower end of the cover body 5 with the slit 9 of the register stand main body 3 respectively, the relative movement in the front-rear direction between the device mounting body 4 and the register stand main body 3 can be restricted.

[0050] In addition, since the slit 9 of the register stand main body 3 with which the convex portion 26 at the lower end of the cover body 5 engages is formed on the upper surface of the register stand main body 3 (the upper surfaces 17a of the front and rear panel members 7A and 7B), the slit 9 on the other side in the front-rear direction where the convex portion 26 of the cover body 5 is not engaged is hidden by various devices placed on the upper surface of the register stand main body 3, and it has excellent aesthetics.

[0051] Also, the hook member 27 of the cover body 5 is provided with a hook-shaped portion 27a that protrudes inward in the depth direction and opens downward. The hook-shaped portion 27a is inserted into the space 20 below the device mounting body 4 and engages with the pin 22 fixed to the rib portions 21 on the left and right inner sides of the standing portion 11 in this space 20. In this way, the pin 22 is not exposed outward from the space 20 below the device mounting body 4, and it has excellent aesthetics.

[0052] In addition, the long holes 10 in which the convex portions 14c at the lower ends of the equipment mounting body 4 are guided are respectively arranged on the central side of the upper surface of the register stand main body 3 (the upper surfaces 18a of the left and right panel members 8A and 8B). Since they do not expose outward from the space 20 below the equipment mounting body 4 when the equipment mounting body 4 is shifted to either the front or the rear, it has excellent aesthetics.

[0053] Also, as shown in FIG. 2, an opening 30 penetrating the internal space is formed in the upper surface panel 6 of the register stand main body 3. The wirings of various devices constituting the register 50 can be passed through the opening 30 and hidden in the internal space, which has excellent aesthetics. For example, since the opening 30 faces the space 20, the power cable of, for example, the change device 54 arranged in the space 20 can be hidden on the internal space side. Further, through the gap between the upper surface 23a of the cover body 5 and the lower surface 12b of the top plate portion 12 of the equipment mounting body 4, the wirings of various devices arranged on the equipment mounting body 4 can also be drawn into the inside of the space 20 and passed through the opening 30 to the internal space side, and the exposure of the wirings can be minimized.

[0054] Also, since the long holes 10 are formed in the rib portions 18 having high structural strength at the upper parts of the left and right panel members 8A (8B), they have high durability against stress during the engagement with the convex portions 14c, 14c of the guide pieces 14. In addition, the standing portion 11 of the equipment mounting body 4 is erected on the rib portion 18 by the front and rear rib portions 21 and the lower surface portion 14b of the guide piece 14. The register stand main body 3 can receive the vertical load of various devices arranged on the equipment mounting body 4 with the rib portion 18 having high structural strength and in the longitudinal direction of the left and right panel member 8A, and can stably support the equipment mounting body 4 and various devices arranged thereon.

[0055] Similarly, since the slit 9 is formed in the rib portion 17 having high structural strength at the upper part of the front and rear panel members 7A (7B), it has high durability against stress during the engagement with the convex portion 26 of the cover body 5.

[0056] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there are additions or changes within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention, they are included in the present invention.

[0057] For example, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the change-making device 54 is inserted and arranged in the space 20 below the device mounting body 4. However, as long as it is a device constituting the register 50, anything can be arranged. For example, a cashless payment terminal 53 or the like may be arranged.

[0058] Further, the device mounting body is configured to improve the degree of freedom of the layout by enabling various devices to be arranged at different heights from the register base body, and may be configured only from a plate portion having a thickness equal to or more than a predetermined value without a standing portion and without a space for inserting and arranging various devices below.

[0059] Also, by forming the slits 9, 9 in the upper surface panel 6 of the register base body 3, the device mounting body 4 can be configured to be immovable not only at both ends in the front-rear direction of the register base body 3 but also at the central position.

[0060] Further, the means for restricting the relative movement between the device mounting body 4 and the register base body 3 may be configured separately from the cover body 5.

[0061] Also, the slits 9 and the long holes 10 may be formed, for example, in the upper surface panel 6 of the register base body 3 other than the rib portions.

[0062] Also, the device mounting body 4 is not limited to being configured to be slidably movable with respect to the register base body 3.
