[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, ECR (Electronic Cash Regist
er) or a cash register such as a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal is provided with a drawer device as shown in FIG. 6, and this drawer device is attached to the drawer case 1 and the drawer case 1. A drawer 2 slidable to an open position and a closed position, a money case 3 removably mounted in the drawer 2, and a coin case 4 removably mounted on the near side of the money case 3. Have been. A bill holding plate 5 is fixed to the back side in the money case 3, and a plurality of bill holding members 6 urged downward by a spring are attached to the bill holding plate 5. In the money case 3, a partition plate 7 for separating the bills held and stored by the bill holders 6 is fixed.

[0003] In recent years, at accounting sites such as check-out counters, opportunities to handle coins (coins) have increased due to the introduction of consumption tax and fractionalization of commodity prices due to intensified price competition. In order to reduce the burden and efficiency of cash register operations, some shops have adopted change machines that automatically pay out change coins in response to a command from a cash register machine.

[0004]

However, when the above-described change machine is connected to a cash register, the coin case 4 containing coins is unnecessary, and the coin case 4 is used with the coin case 4 removed. . However, bill holder 6
Is fixedly mounted on the back side of the money case 3, and therefore, when handling bills, it is necessary to reach into the back side of the money case 3, which is inconvenient. In addition, if the money case 3 is pulled out to the front side together with the drawer 2 and used in a fully opened state, the usability is improved,
Not good for security.

[0005] On the other hand, there is a money case in which the coin holder 4 is not attached to the bill holder 6 from the beginning but the attachment position of the bill holder 6 is on the front side. Cost must be increased.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a cash register having a money case slidable between an open position and a closed position. A plurality of bill holders for holding bills are provided at the back side in the money case, and the bill holders are provided so as to be movable toward the front side and freely fixed at an arbitrary position.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when the change machine is connected to the cash register and the coin case becomes unnecessary, the coin case is removed and the bill holder is moved to the near side. Then, it is not necessary to reach into the back of the money case when handling bills, so that usability is improved. Further, it is not necessary to fully open the money case when handling bills, which is a preferable use form for crime prevention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The same parts as those described in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted (the same applies hereinafter). First, FIG. 1 shows a drawer device of an ECR which is a cash register. This drawer device includes a drawer case 1 and a drawer mounted in the drawer case 1 and slidable to an open position and a closed position. 2, a money case 8 removably mounted in the drawer 2, and a coin case 4 removably mounted on the near side of the money case 8. A bill holding plate 9 is mounted on the inner side of the money case 8, and a plurality of bill holders 10 urged downward by a spring are mounted on the bill holding plate 9. In the money case 8, a partition plate 7 for separating the bills pressed and stored by the bill holders 10 is fixed.

A step 11 for attaching the money case 8 to the drawer 2 is formed in the upper part of the left and right sides of the money case 8 so as to extend in the front-rear direction. At both left and right end portions, a fitting portion 12 which is slidably fitted to the step portion 11 is integrally formed. The step 11 has a pair of front and rear stopper grooves 1.
3 and 14 are formed, and a stopper 15 which is resiliently fitted to the stopper grooves 13 and 14 is attached to the fitting portion 12.

In such a configuration, FIG.
This shows a drawer device at the time of shipping of a CR or at the time of normal use without using a change machine. The bill holding plate 9 is slid to the back side of the money case 8 and the stopper 15 is inserted into the stopper groove 14 at the back side. Spontaneously engaged. In addition, a coin case 4 is attached to the money case 8 on the near side.

Next, FIG. 1B shows a drawer device in which a change machine (not shown) is connected to the ECR, and an unnecessary coin case 4 is removed. Further, the bill holding plate 9 is slid to the front side along the step portion 11 and the stopper 15 is elastically engaged with the stopper groove 13 on the front side. Therefore, the bill presser 10 moves to the near side together with the bill presser plate 9, and the bill presser 10 presses the bill at the near side in the money case 8.

Therefore, when handling bills, the money case 8
There is no need to reach into the inner part, which improves usability. Further, it is not necessary to fully open the money case 8 when handling bills, which is a preferable use form for crime prevention.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, the bill holding plate 9 is slid to the front side, and then the partition plate 16 is attached to the back side of the bill holding plate 9, so that the money case 8 can be moved. The part on the back side of the partition plate 16 can be used as a small item storage unit such as a seal.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the partition plate 7a is provided only in the central portion of the money case 8, and spaces are provided on the front side and the back side of the money case 8 where the coin case 4 can be mounted.

In such a configuration, in a normal use state in which a change machine is not connected to the ECR, the coin case 4 is mounted on the near side of the money case 8 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when a change machine is connected to the ECR, FIG.
, The coin case 4 attached to the front side of the money case 8 is once removed, the bill holding plate 9 is slid toward the front side, and the removed coin case 4 is attached to the back side of the money case 8. .

By attaching the coin case 4 to the back side of the money case 8 in this manner, spare coins used by the change machine can be stored in the coin case 4.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a cash register having a money case slidable between an open position and a closed position, a coin case is detachably provided on the front side in the money case, and A plurality of bill holders for holding bills are provided on the back side of the money case, and the bill holders are provided so as to be movable toward the front side and freely fixed at an arbitrary position. When it is no longer necessary, the coin case can be removed and the bill holder can be moved to the near side to fix the position. This eliminates the need to reach into the back of the money case when handling bills. In addition, since it is not necessary to fully open the money case when handling banknotes, it is possible to obtain a preferable use form for crime prevention. To have an effect such as can be enhanced economic efficiency because there is no need to buy a new money case when using change machine.
