A shutter 4 is designed to be lowered on the front side to prevent tampering with the store after the store is closed. On this front, a front cover 8 is provided which can be opened and closed with hinges 5, 5 and locked with a lock 7, which can be pivotally opened and closed with the hinges 5, 5. A display 9 for displaying the amount of oil or its price, a keyboard 10 for operation, and a card reader 11 are also provided. This front cover 8 has a part indicated by reference numeral 12 cut out, and this cutout 1
2 is provided with an opening/closing lid D having a sliding lid 13, which will be described later, and a slip receiving recess, that is, a retention chamber 14.
It can be opened and closed. This notch 12
A printer 15 is provided at the rear of the printer, and a storage chamber 16 for printing slips and a storage chamber 17 for printed slips are provided.
is provided. As shown in the figure, it is preferable to form a storage chamber 16 directly below the printer 15 and to provide a storage chamber 17 at the front lower side thereof. A slip outlet 18 of this printer 15 is located at the retention chamber 14.
In the figure, 19 is a rail of the shutter 4.

Next, a more detailed explanation will be given with reference to enlarged views of FIGS. 3 to 7.

As shown in Figure 4, the slip M1 for printing
The slip M1 is folded and stacked in two stacks in the storage chamber 16, and this slip M1 is sent to the printer 15, where the printed slips M2 and M3 are printed.
are sent out from the exit 18 to the retention chamber 14, the slip M2 to be handed over to the customer is retained in the retention chamber 14, and the slip M3 for management is folded in the storage chamber 17.

The sliding lid 13 is preferably made of a transparent material, as shown in FIG.
A pair of guide rails 20 provided at both ends of 3,
20 is provided on the opening/closing lid D so as to be slidable up and down, and as shown in FIG. 4, the retention chamber 14 is closed by sliding up and down. For this purpose, the slide lid 13 is provided with a hole 21 for inserting a hand and lifting the lid. As shown in FIG. 4, a folded part 23 is formed at the tip of the opening/closing lid D, and this folded part 23 is formed when the sliding lid 13 is in the closed position.
2 constitutes a separator that is separated from the slip M3. In other words, slide lid 1
3 is closed and the slip M1 is printed out, even if the slip M2 to be given to the customer hits the slide lid 13 and hangs down in the retention chamber 14, it will get caught in the bent portion 23 of the tip, so the slip will not be printed. It is designed so that it does not hang down towards the storage room 17 along with M3. A lock groove 24 is provided in the guide rail 20 of the slide lid 13.
A slide lid lock 25 is provided on the front lid 8 at a position where the lock groove 24 engages when the slide lid 13 is closed. As shown in FIG. 6, this sliding lid lock 25 is preferably constructed by bending a leaf spring, for example. Any other suitable known means can be used. Opening/closing lid D
