Definitions

the present invention relates to a cash register, called "check-out", improved, that is to say a device used for example in department stores or similar businesses where customers have to pay for products or items chosen, and generally comprising a conveyor belt intended for the transport of the articles to pay towards a cashier or a cashier, a recording device and a part, possibly provided with a second conveyor belt, intended for the evacuation of the recorded products.
optical reading device used to ensure the automatic recording of the purchase price of the products concerned and the calculation of the total price to be paid by the customer, and this by simple presentation to this device for optical reading of products or articles chosen by the customer, which are, for this purpose, provided with a special coded indication.
Another known proposal for equipping an ordinary cash register with an optical reading device consists in that one of said parts of the box is shortened, namely the part used for transporting products or articles to the device. and, in particular, the traditional conveyor belt is deleted and replaced by a shorter one to allow the intercalation of the optical reading device.
This process is also too complicated, too laborious and too expensive and has the further disadvantage of requiring additional reinforcements.
the present invention proposes the realization of a cash register, called "check-out”, which lends itself to use either traditionally with a recording device served by a cashier or a cashier , either in combination with an optical reader or "scanner".
This system has the great advantage that the acquisition of cash registers can be carried out independently of their use with or without optical reading device, since their possible equipment of a device of this kind takes only a minimum of time thanks to the fact that the case is designed for this eventuality, that is to say with a view to its possible cooperation with any type of optical reading device available on the market.
This design of the cash register according to the invention whether or not equipped with an optical reading device also has the advantage that the assembly can be moved easily by lifting it on either side, which is not not possible with conventional cash registers equipped, as said above, with an optical reader.
a further advantage of the system according to the invention is that the intercalation of an optical reading device takes place without the need for additional reinforcement or support measures.
the cash register according to the invention endowed with the aforementioned advantages and other advantages, essentially consists for this purpose of a first part used for the transport of the products or articles chosen by the customer to a recording station, of a second part for the disposal of registered products or articles and a third part containing the recording apparatus, these first two parts being movable relative to one another for their mutual coupling in at least two different relative positions.
the cash register according to the invention is further characterized in that one of the first two parts has at least one projecting profiled element and oriented towards the other part, which is capable of cooperating by sliding with a profile fixed in the latter , means being provided for coupling these two profiles in well-defined positions in each of which the two coupled parts are at a mutual distance chosen at will.
the cash register 1 essentially consists of a part 2 with a conveyor belt 3 for transporting the products or articles chosen by the customer to the cashier; a part 4 possibly provided with a conveyor belt 5 for the evacuation or the reception of the registered goods and resting on a hollow support 6 capable of serving as a cupboard, accessible from the side of the cashier or the cashier; a table 8 also resting on a hollow support 8 and intended to carry a recording apparatus; and a column 9 carrying a lighting device 10.
the two parts 2 and 4 are joined together according to the present invention by means of two profiles 11 and 12, which, in this case, are U-shaped profiles, integral with the part 4 and capable of cooperating with corresponding analogous profiles 13 and 14, which in this case are also U-shaped profiles, in which the profiles 11 and 12 can slide freely.
holes 15 are provided which are duly distributed, capable of being mutually opposed with a view to mutually blocking parts 2 and 4 in one or the other desired relative position by means of bolts 16.
the points where the holes 15 are drilled must be chosen beforehand as a function of said distance E, which can vary from one brand of optical reading device to another, and that it is recommended to drill a plurality of holes allowing the adjustment of the distance E for each of the different brands of optical reading devices, which are taken into account for the equipment of the same type of cash register.
a previously made construction which mainly consists of slats, respectively 17 and 18, intended to support the optical reading device, as shown among others in the figure 10, as well as lateral elements, respectively 19 and 20, with which said support slats 17 and 18 are suspended and fixed to said U-shaped profiles 11 and 12, by means of profiles 21 and 22 fixed to these lateral elements 19 and 20 and resting on the U-shaped sections 11 and 12, lateral elements 19 and 20 which may be covered with a coating 22 or 23.
Said support slats 17 and 18 are preferably adjustable in height for the purpose of adjusting the height of the "scanner".
a cash register which can be used with or without an optical reading device and has the advantage that the solidity of the connection between the two parts 2 and 4 is ensured in all its positions. ie both in the position shown in Figure 1 and in that shown in Figure 13, so that the body can be easily moved into each of these two positions by lifting it on either side, and this without the need for additional supports.
the box is equipped with an optical reading device, which rests on supports at the bottom, namely, in this case, on the slats 17 and 18.
Figures 11 and 12 relate to an embodiment, intended to support an optical reading device provided on either side with a projection 24.
auxiliary elements 25 and 26 are arranged on the profiles 11 and 12 to adjust the position of the optical reading device to the required level, auxiliary elements which are for example in the form of flat tubes, on which may, if necessary, be fixed in advance side elements 27 and 28 in as supports for the covering elements 29 and 30, which optionally carry a finishing base 31.
