Famous cash box, which contains a tabletop equipped with three zones, arranged in accordance with the sequence of movement of purchased goods. The first zone serves for the display of goods by the buyer and, as a rule, contains a conveyor, the second zone serves to pay for the goods, and the third zone is intended for packing the paid goods into packages. The tabletop is mounted on racks and other support elements that serve as holders for the cash desk control panel and drawers used by the cashier. The table top is limited around the perimeter by a closed carrier frame made of aluminum or hard plastic and divided into components of a given length (EP 2194820, A47F 9/04, 2011).
The disadvantages of this cash box are the limited possibilities of use, the presence of numerous holders around the box for various items, the lack of pedestals in which the necessary items could be placed. In addition, there are disadvantages such as the complexity of manufacturing and assembly, including the manufacture and assembly of the frame. The complexity of the assembly, as a rule, negatively affects this required quality actively used equipment, as maintainability, since the repair, replacement of parts usually requires at least partial dismantling of the equipment.
A cash box is known, containing a box-shaped commodity chamber with a side on which an upper horizontal polymer chipper is fixed, consisting of a display table and a drive connected in series, mounted on a vertical hollow box-shaped base containing corner elements and lower chippers, a tabletop placed at the side of the chamber For cash register. The lower polymer bumpers are made convex and contain internal longitudinal air cavities. The specified cash side contains a control panel for calling the serviceman, alarming and emergency shutdown (RU 93244 U1, A47F 9/02, 2009).
A disadvantage of the known checkout box is that when using a checkout box of the type described, many difficulties arise in terms of their production and/or assembly. Currently, the production takes place on a case by case basis according to the customer's specification on a separate production line and this increases the cost and lead time of the cash box production due to the numerous requests for the production of the cash box according to the individual requirements of the customer.
In addition, at present, the assembly of a cash box requires the involvement of a qualified technical specialist having specialized knowledge and a certain set of tools. It is inconvenient when it is necessary to equip new shop or re-equip an existing one inexpensively and in the shortest possible time.
The closest analogue of the claimed cash box is a cash box containing a table top with a product display area sequentially located on it, having a conveyor, a barcode reading area from the product and a product storage area, while the table top is installed on supporting pedestals, one of which is configured to be placed on her cash register. The tabletop is fixed on the supporting pedestals by means of a device made in the form of a frame made by welding a rectangular profile. The tabletop is also equipped with a protective device - a chipper located along its perimeter (RU 51841 U1, A47F 10/00, 2005).

The above drawings show a cash box according to the invention, which has a horizontal extension from the end of the conveyor to the end of the drive, the location of which is determined by the direction of movement of goods in the store (usually we are talking about a supermarket or hypermarket).
The cash box contains a tabletop 1, on which the conveyor zone 1a is located in a horizontal sequence, which starts from the front end and goes into the scanner zone 1b, and the drive zone 1c, which ends with the rear end of the cash box (see Fig.1). Tabletop 1 is supported by support 2, consisting of two pedestals 20 and 21, located near the front and rear ends of the cash box. Cabinets 20 and 21 are made in the form of boxes with cavities located opposite each other, which can be supplemented with shelving or drawers for the convenience of the cashier. The cashier is located in the space between the pedestals 20, 21 (in the same place where the scanner area 1b is located), where there is a place for a chair or chair of the cashier.
The pedestal 20 is only partly occupied by the tabletop 1. The conveyor 10, having a smaller width than the rest of the tabletop 1, leaves space on the pedestal 20 to accommodate a cash register (not shown) and other standard electronic payment equipment, such as payment terminals. bank cards on a magnetic basis or on microchips (not shown in the drawing).
On the horizontal side surfaces of the tabletop 1 (see figure 1) according to the invention, profiles 3 (3", 3", 3"") are installed, which in cross section (in the plane perpendicular to the X axis) have the shape of the letter "C". Profiles 3, attached to the pedestals 20, 21, constitute the bearing support for the tabletop 1.
From the side of the cashier, two profiles 3" and 3" are installed along the conveyor 1a and storage 1c, respectively. On the opposite side, i.e. from the side of the buyer, one profile 3"" is provided along the entire length of the table top 1.
The cross section of the profile 3, shown in detail in Fig.6, has the shape of the letter "C" with the inner side 34 facing the inside of the tabletop 1, and the outer side 31. The profiles 3 have a mirror arrangement on the tabletop 1. According to the invention, on both sides worktop 1 uses the same type of profile 3, which allows it to be universally used in assembly.
The profile 3 has a flat bottom base 30 provided with a groove 30a for fixing it to the pedestals 20, 21 by placing in the groove 30a the threaded connections 30b shown schematically in FIG. These connections, in addition to the direct attachment of profile 3 to the bollards 20, 21, can be used in areas not in contact with the base bollards 20, 21, for attaching accessories at the individual request of the client, such as bag holders (not shown in the drawings).
The outer surface 31 of the profile 3, i.e. the surface on the customer or cashier side, has a slightly convex shape and has a rectangular groove 31a in its middle part for fixing a fender 31b therein. Fenders 31b are usually made of plastic in different colors depending on customer requirements.
The upper part of the profile 3, located on the opposite side of the lower base 30, is a side 32 of a trapezoidal shape. On the sloping sides 32c of the bead there are recesses 32a with which various accessories 32b are mounted on the bead 32, such as, for example, holders for a PIN input device or, as shown in FIG. and cashier, etc. Most often, such attachment of accessories is placed on the profile 3"" from the side of the buyer in the area of the scanner 1b. The recesses 32a are made in the form of grooves located on the side walls 32c of the bead. The corresponding protruding parts of the desired accessory are inserted into the recesses 32a, which is thus attached board 32 from above.
Under the board 32 on the inner side 34 of the profile 3 are four grooves: the first top 35, the second groove 36, the third groove 37 and the fourth groove 38 (Fig.6), sequentially located from top to bottom with a cross section in the form of a quadrangle. These grooves serve to accommodate threaded fasteners or work units of the countertop 1 of the cash box, which will be discussed below.
The vertical extent of the inner side 34 of the profile 3 starts from the stepped recess 33 formed between the side 32 and the innermost side 34. The height of the inner side 34 of the profile in practice determines the space available to accommodate the said working elements, namely the conveyor belt 10 of the conveyor zone 1a, the scanner for reading the barcode 11 in zone 1b and the drive 12 in the third zone 1c of the package of the paid product.
In Fig.3 and Fig.3a shows in section the area of the conveyor 1a. This zone is provided with a conveyor belt 10 stretched in the form of a ring between the rollers 10c along the horizontal axis of rotation. In order to maintain tension on the conveyor belt 10, tension systems of a commonly known type (not shown in detail in the drawings) are used. They are placed inside the tape and are attached to the second groove 36, which is larger in size than the other three grooves. A support frame 10a for a conventionally shaped conveyor belt 10 having a protrusion 10a" is mounted on the inner side 34 of the profile 3 and on a stepped recess 33, and the protrusion 10a" is inserted into the groove 37. The groove 37 has a protrusion 37a mounted in a vertical direction parallel to the inside profile 34, which partially closes the opening of the groove 37 to prevent accidental displacement of the protrusion 10a" of the frame 10a of the conveyor.
Slot 38 is used to receive the folded edge 10b" of the lower cover panel 10b of the conveyor, as well as to insert threaded fasteners to secure the scanner.
Figures 5a and 5b show a support 13 for a product barcode scanner which defines the central area of the table top and provides a location 13a for mounting the scanner's electronics and components. This space consists of a rigid frame made of metal profiles with two transverse bars 13b, located perpendicular to the X axis, connecting profile fragments 3” and 3”" respectively with a single profile 3", separating the scanner zone 1b from the conveyor zone 1a and the accumulator zone 1c . Crossbeams 13b (see Fig.5a) have protrusions 13c with threaded holes for fastening to the profiles 3 with bolts that are inserted into the first groove 35 and the fourth groove 38 of the profiles 3.
In Fig.4 and Fig.4a shows in cross section the third zone of the tabletop 1 - the drive zone 1c. This zone consists of a store 12, in which the goods already registered at the checkout are placed, which are then manually shifted by the cashier or the second conveyor to the edge of the cash box. The hopper 12 is secured by means of a groove 35 into which the top fold of the hopper 12a is inserted, which is specially profiled to ensure optimum fixation. The accumulator 12 can be made in various shapes and sizes by bending a sheet of metal.
Profile 3 has cavities 39, which facilitate the design of the profile, which are located along its entire length. In particular, such a cavity 39 is located in the lower part of the profile 3 between the groove 30a of the base 30 and the groove 38 located on the inner side 34 of the profile 3. , which connect the profiles 3 with the end elements 4, forming the ends of the cash box. A similar recess 39b is located at an angle in the second groove 36 of the inner part 34 of the profile and is adjacent to the groove 35.
End elements 4 are usually made of plastic. The profiles 3 are made of metal, preferably aluminium, while the pedestals 20, 21 are made of bent sheet steel.
The use of the cash box is as follows. The customer approaches from the outside of the cash box and places the goods on the conveyor area 1a of the tabletop 1. The goods are then moved by the conveyor 12 or manually by the cashier to scan the barcode and enter the store area 1c, from where they are taken by the customer after paying for the goods.
The proposed cash box offers numerous advantages, in particular the special shape of profile 3 with the presence of a significant number of fasteners, specially designed and universally suitable for assembly using a single standard mounting kit, which is cut to the desired size and is base element to build a cash box.
The claimed profile shape makes it easy to change the shape and dimensions of the cash box in accordance with the individual requirements of the customer, while the assembly process becomes easier and faster, since the presence of various recesses, grooves for fastenings allows you to avoid a significant part of specialized work, such as perforation and welding, which necessary when assembling cash boxes, currently known designs.
For example, often the client makes individual requirements for the cash box, namely, he wants the listed zones to be of a certain shape, color, size, depending on the customer's requests.
The claimed invention makes it possible to achieve such results when making a custom-made cash box (size, color, accessories) using standard components, which, in turn, reduces the cost of installation and equipment design. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to use different production lines for different customers.
In addition, if it is necessary to replace any part of the countertop, without involving a specialist, it is enough to unfasten the profiles and replace the worn-out part of the cash box with a new one, fixing it with profiles using threaded connections. The implementation of profiles with cavities makes the profiles light, which greatly facilitates the process of assembling the cash box.
At the same time, the presence of recesses made in the upper part of profile 3 allows you to easily and quickly, without fasteners and threaded locks, install various accessories, such as partition walls or a holder for a PIN code input device. The conveyor support is also installed without the use of threaded fasteners, but simply by fastening into the appropriate groove.
The claimed invention allows to significantly reduce the assembly time of the cash box. The cash box of this design can be easily assembled on site, since its components are fastened to each other by means of a groove connection. The end elements of the cash box are securely fixed with screws that are screwed into the profile with ready-made recesses, and therefore can be mounted with minimal effort.
Fenders are installed in a groove, with the possibility of removing them, so that if necessary they can be quickly removed and replaced, in case of damage or just for replacement appearance cash box.

1. A cash box containing two hollow pedestals of different widths connected by a wall, a lid of the pedestal, a tabletop consisting of a display table, a cashier's table and a drive, equipped with a protective profile, characterized in that it is equipped with a frame in the form of a welded structure made of a rectangular profile, placed between the tabletop and the cabinets with the possibility of fixing the said elements on it, wherein each hollow cabinet consists of two racks connected to each other, a panel and a base, and the base of each cabinet is made of a corrosion-resistant material.
The selection of cash boxes is carried out according to a certain scheme. For small shops- 1 box for 80-100 sq.m. area, for medium-sized stores - 1 cash box per 150 sq.m., and for large stores - 150-200 sq.m. Except size retail space, the number of boxes is affected by traffic peaks, if any, or the speed of the cashier. The latter depends on the technical equipment of the automation of the cash point, its compliance with the format of the store and the skills of the cashier. For quick service of buyers with piece purchases, express checkouts are used. This creates great convenience for buyers and saves time spent in the calculation.
What affects the speed of customer service?
How quickly the settlement will take place depends on the equipment of the cashier's workplace. It is worth noting the influence of the content of the POS-terminal device and the scanning system on the cash box device. There are vertical, horizontal (built-in) and manual product scanners. Multi-plane scanners are more optimal. They are built into the working surface of the cash register. To read the code, the cashier simply carries the goods over the scanner. The choice of a scanner must be approached consciously and thoroughly.
Similarly, weighing equipment can be built into the working surface of the table. Lately this popular solution is gaining a leading position in the sale of such goods by weight as sweets, fruits, vegetables. When the scales are located at the checkout, you save space in trading floor and there is no need to additionally assign a person to them. Buyers are pretty nervous when they have to wait for a "special" person to hang the goods. Scales located at the checkout initiate an increase in purchases. Although with financial side the one-time cost of equipping all cash boxes with scales built into them can be expensive. In principle, the "fruits and vegetables" department can be equipped with scales with a receipt printing device with product pictures. This option likes to use the trading network "Bill".
