Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration device used as a POS terminal having a built-in merchandise data reading device.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the drawer 2
The display unit 3 is provided at the upper rear of the housing 1. A central part of the housing 1 is provided with a keyboard 6 of a reading window 5 of the commodity data reading device 4 on the right side thereof, and a receipt issuing print 7 is provided on the left side thereof. The receipt issuing port 9 for issuing the receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged on the near side.

However, in such an apparatus, although the receipt 8 is issued from the front left side of the housing 1, the issued receipt 8 is close to the operator, and therefore may interfere with the operator and damage the receipt 8.

Further, since the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged side by side next to the product data reading device 4, the device main body becomes wide, and the product with the label printed with the barcode is scanned and stored in the basket. In addition, the merchandise must be moved largely by the amount of the receipt issuing printer 7, which increases the burden on the operator and prolongs the scanning time.

In order to solve such a problem, the reading window of the commodity data reading device is arranged facing upward, and the receipt issuing port of the receipt issuing printer is located behind the reading window. It is effective to position the receipt on the upper side where it does not interfere with the scanning area. By doing so, it is possible to prevent damage to the receipt, reduce the overall width dimension, and reduce the moving distance of the product.

However, when the receipt issuing printer is arranged above the product data reading apparatus as described above, when the operator and the customer face each other, a keyboard operation and a scanning operation of the operator by the customer side are performed. It is difficult to confirm,
Another problem occurs, which is anxiety to customers.

Means for Solving the Problems In a product sales registration device including a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a printer for issuing a receipt,
The product data reading device is arranged in a housing with the reading window facing upward, and the receipt issuing printer and the display unit are supported by thin columns standing upright from the housing to support the product data from the customer side. A space is formed between the commodity data reader, the receipt issuing printer, and the display so that the scanning area of the reader can be visually observed.

Even if the product data is arranged above the reading device by supporting the receipt issuing printer and the display unit with the support columns, a space is formed between the product data reading device and the receipt issuing printer and the display unit. Therefore, the customer can confirm the operator's keyboard operation and scanning operation during the face-to-face operation, which gives the customer a sense of security and prevents fraud.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, a drawer 11 is provided at a lower portion of the housing 10.
At the center of the upper part of the product data reading device 12, a reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is provided facing upward. A reading confirmation lamp is provided on the upper right of the reading window 13.
14 are provided. The reading confirmation lamp 14 is displayed in blue when the reading is possible, and changes to red by reading the data to confirm the reading.

Next, a keyboard 15 is provided in front of the reading window 13, and a bill and a coin receiver 16 are formed on the left side of the keyboard 15. Further, a PLU keyboard 17 is provided behind the reading window 13.

Then, the two pillars 18 projecting upward are integrally provided in the back upper part of the housing 10, and the upper part of the pillar 18 has:
A display unit 19 for customers is provided on the right side, and a printer 20 for issuing receipts is provided on the left side. The receipt issuing port 22 for issuing the receipt 21 of the sheet issuing printer 20 is provided at the upper part on the front side, and in the normal receipt 21, the receipt area 22 is in the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the commodity data reading device 12. Are positioned so that they do not interfere with each other. That is, the receipt issuing port 22 is the reading window.
It is provided at a position higher than 13 by a predetermined height and displaced by a predetermined dimension in the depth direction. Here, the scanning area refers to an area obtained by adding a readable area in which a bar code of a label attached to a product can be read and a product moving area in which the product is moved right and left.

Further, the support column 18 is formed relatively thin, between these support columns 18, that is, between the commodity data reading device 12 and the receipt issuing pudding 20 and the display unit 19, A space 23 is formed.

In such a configuration, a bar code that can be read by the product data reading device 12 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, in reading the product data, the product is scanned on the reading window 13. As a result, the data is taken in, but when this data is read, the reading confirmation lamp 14 turns red and the reading state can be confirmed. At the time of scanning this product, the product data reading device 12 is formed independently in the width direction of the housing 10, so that the width dimension thereof is small, and thus the scanning distance of the product is short and the operator's burden is light, The scanning time may be short.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result,
The receipt 21 is issued from the receipt issuing port 22. If the receipt 21 has a normal length, as described above, the receipt 21 does not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 and is located at a position where the operator does not interfere. ing. Therefore, the receipt 21 is not likely to be damaged by the operator. Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 21 is a position that the operator can easily take.

Then, in the case where face-to-face sales where the operator and the customer face each other, the customer can confirm the keyboard operation and the scanning operation of the operator from the space portion 23, whereby there is no anxiety, Further, the operator can prevent fraud.

As described above, the present invention is a product sales registration device including a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, and the product data reading device is placed in a housing with the reading window facing upward. The product is arranged so that the receipt issuing printer and the display unit are supported by thin columns standing upright from the housing so that the customer can visually see the scanning area of the product data reader. Since the space portion is formed between the data reading device and the receipt issuing printer and the display unit, even if the receipt issuing printer and the display unit are supported by columns and arranged above the product data reading device, Since a space is formed between the product data reader, the receipt issuing printer and the display, the customer can operate the keyboard of the operator during the face-to-face operation. The operation and the scanning operation can be confirmed, which has the effect of giving the customer a sense of security and preventing fraud.
