The first zone is used for displaying goods by the buyer and, as a rule, contains a conveyor, the second zone is used to pay for goods, and the third zone is intended for packing paid goods into bags. The tabletop is mounted on stands and other supporting elements, which serve as holders for the cash register control panel and drawers used by the cashier. The table top is limited around the perimeter by a closed supporting frame made of aluminum or hard plastic and divided into component parts 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, and the lack of cabinets in which the necessary items could be placed. In addition, there are disadvantages such as the complexity of manufacturing and assembly, including manufacturing and assembly of the frame. The complexity of assembly, as a rule, negatively affects such required quality actively used equipment, such as maintainability, since repairs and replacement of parts usually require at least partial dismantling of the equipment.
A known cash box contains a box-shaped commodity chamber with a side on which an upper horizontal polymer bumper is fixed, consisting of a display table and a storage unit connected in series, installed on vertical hollow box-shaped bases containing corner elements and lower bumpers, a table top located at the side of the chamber For cash register. The lower polymer fenders are made convex and contain internal longitudinal air cavities. The specified cash desk contains a control panel for calling the service technician, alarm and emergency shutdown (RU 93244 U1, A47F 9/02, 2009).
A disadvantage of the known cash register box is that when using a cash register box of the type described, many difficulties arise in terms of their production and/or assembly. Currently, production takes place on a case-by-case basis according to the customer's specifications on a separate production line and this increases the cost and production time of the checkout box due to the numerous requests for making the checkout box according to the individual requirements of the client.
In addition, currently, the assembly of a cash register requires the involvement of a qualified technical specialist with specialized knowledge and a specific set of tools. This 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 checkout box is a checkout box containing a tabletop with a product display area sequentially located on it, which has a conveyor, a barcode reading area from the product and a product storage area, while the tabletop is installed on support pedestals, one of which is designed to be placed on her cash register. The tabletop is fixed to 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 bumper located along its perimeter (RU 51841 U1, A47F 10/00, 2005).

The listed drawings show a checkout box according to the invention, which extends in the horizontal direction from the end of the conveyor to the end of the storage unit, the location of which is determined by the direction of movement of the goods in the store (usually we're talking about about a supermarket or hypermarket).
The cash box contains a table top 1, on which a conveyor zone 1a is located in a horizontal sequence, which starts from the front end and goes into the scanner zone 1b, and a storage zone 1c, which ends at the rear end of the cash box (see Fig. 1). The table top 1 is supported by a support 2, consisting of two pedestals 20 and 21, located close to the front and rear ends of the cash register. Cabinets 20 and 21 are made in the form of boxes with cavities located opposite each other, which can be supplemented with shelves or drawers for the convenience of the cashier. The cashier is located in the space between the tables 20, 21 (in the same place where the scanner area 1b is located), where there is space for a chair or cashier's chair.
The cabinet 20 is only partially occupied by the tabletop 1. The conveyor 10, having a smaller width than the rest of the tabletop 1, leaves space on the cabinet 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 table top 1 (see Fig. 1), according to the invention, profiles 3 (3", 3”, 3”) are installed, which in cross section (in a plane perpendicular to the X axis) have the shape of the letter “C”. Profiles 3, attached to cabinets 20, 21, form the load-bearing support for tabletop 1.
On the cashier's side, two 3" and 3" profiles are installed along the conveyor 1a and storage 1c, respectively. On the opposite side, i.e., on the buyer's side, one 3"" profile 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 Tabletops 1 use the same type of profile 3, which allows for universal use during assembly.
The profile 3 has a flat bottom base 30 provided with a groove 30a for securing it to the support pedestals 20, 21 by placing threaded connections 30b in the groove 30a, schematically shown in Fig.3. These connections, in addition to direct fastening of the profile 3 to the pedestals 20, 21, can be used in areas not in contact with the supporting pedestals 20, 21, for attaching accessories at the individual request of the client, such as holders for packages (not shown in the drawings).
The outer surface 31 of the profile 3, that is, the surface on the customer or cashier side, has a slightly convex shape and in its middle part has a rectangular groove 31a for securing the bumper 31b. 31b fenders 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 trapezoidal bead 32. The slanted sides 32c of the bead are provided with recesses 32a through which various accessories 32b are mounted onto the bead 32, such as, for example, holders for a PIN code entry device or, as shown in FIG. 1, supports for attaching a clear plastic partition between the customer. and cashier, etc. Most often, such accessory mounts are placed on the 3" profile on the customer side in the scanner area 1b. The recesses 32a are made in the form of grooves located on the side walls 32c of the side. The corresponding protruding parts of the desired accessory are inserted into the recesses 32a, which is thus attached to board 32 on top.
Under the bead 32 on the inner side 34 of the profile 3 there are four grooves: the first upper 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 shape of a quadrangle. These grooves serve to accommodate threaded fasteners or working units of the countertop 1 of the cash register box, which will be discussed below.
The vertical extent of the inner side 34 of the profile 3 starts from a stepped recess 33 formed between the bead 32 and the innermost side 34. The height of the inner side 34 of the profile in practice determines the space available for the placement of said operating elements, namely the conveyor belt 10 of the conveyor area 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.
Figure 3 and Figure 3a show a sectional view of the conveyor area 1a. This zone is equipped with a conveyor belt 10, stretched in the shape of a ring between rollers 10c along the horizontal axis of rotation. In order to maintain tension on the conveyor belt 10, tension systems of a generally known type are used (not shown in detail in the drawings). They are placed inside the tape and attached to the second groove 36, which is larger in size than the other three grooves. A support frame 10a for the conveyor belt 10 of a conventional shape having a projection 10a" is mounted on the inner side 34 of the profile 3 and on the stepped recess 33, and the projection 10a" is inserted into the groove 37. The groove 37 has a projection 37a mounted in a vertical direction parallel to the inside profile 34, which partially covers the opening of the groove 37 to prevent accidental displacement of the projection 10a" of the conveyor frame 10a.
The groove 38 is used to install the folded edge 10b" of the lower conveyor cover panel 10b, as well as to insert threaded fasteners for fixing the scanner.
Figure 5a and Figure 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 electronic equipment and scanner components. This space consists of a rigid frame made of metal profiles with two transverse crossbars 13b, located perpendicular to the X axis, connecting, respectively, fragments of profiles 3" and 3"" with a single profile 3", separating the scanner area 1b from the conveyor area 1a and the storage area 1c . The crossbars 13b (see Fig. 5a) have projections 13c with threaded holes for fastening to the profiles 3 using bolts that are inserted into the first groove 35 and the fourth groove 38 of the profiles 3.
Figures 4 and 4a show a cross-section of the third zone of the tabletop 1, the storage zone 1c. This zone consists of a storage 12 into which goods already registered at the cash register are placed, which are then manually moved to the edge of the cash register by a cashier or a second conveyor. The drive 12 is secured by means of a groove 35 into which the upper limb of the drive 12a, specially profiled to ensure optimal fixation, is inserted. The storage device 12 can be made of different shapes and sizes by bending a sheet of metal.
Profile 3 has cavities 39 that 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. In the partition 40 separating the groove 38 from the cavity 39, a recess 39a is made for inserting threaded connections (screws) , which connect the profiles 3 with the end elements 4, forming the ends of the cash register box. A similar recess 39b is located at an angle in the second groove 36 of the inner profile part 34 and is adjacent to the groove 35.
The end elements 4 are usually made of plastic. Profiles 3 are made of metal, preferably aluminum, and cabinets 20, 21 are made of bent sheet steel.
The cash box is used as follows. The buyer approaches from the outside of the checkout box and places the goods on the conveyor zone 1a of tabletop 1. Next, the goods are moved using the conveyor 12 or manually by the cashier to scan the barcode and end up in the storage area 1c, from where they are picked up by the buyer after paying for the goods.
The proposed cash box offers numerous advantages, in particular the special shape of the 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 required size and is base element to build a cash register.
The inventive profile shape allows you to easily change the shape and dimensions of the cash register box in accordance with the individual requirements of the customer, while the assembly process becomes easier and faster, since the presence of various recesses and grooves for fastenings allows you to avoid a significant part of specialized work, such as perforation and welding, which necessary when assembling cash registers, currently known designs.
For example, often the client has individual requirements for the cash register, namely, he wants the listed areas 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 register (size, color, accessories) using standard components, which, in turn, reduces the cost of installation and equipment design. Therefore, there is no longer any need to operate 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 register box with a new one, securing it through the profiles using threaded connections. Making profiles with cavities makes the profiles light, which greatly facilitates the process of assembling the cash register box.
At the same time, the presence of recesses made in the upper part of the profile 3 allows you to easily and quickly, without fasteners and threaded fasteners, install various accessories, such as dividing partitions or a device holder for entering a PIN code. The conveyor support is also installed without the use of threaded fasteners, but simply by fastening it into the appropriate groove.
The claimed invention makes it possible to significantly reduce the assembly time of the cash register box. The checkout box of this design can be easily assembled on site, since its component parts are attached to each other by means of a groove connection. The end elements of the cash register box are securely fixed using screws that are screwed into the profile with ready-made recesses, and therefore can be mounted with minimal effort.
The bumpers are installed in a groove, with the possibility of their removal, 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 cabinets of different widths connected by a wall, a cabinet lid, a table top consisting of a display table, a cashier’s table and a storage unit, 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 mentioned elements on it, each hollow cabinet consists of two racks, a panel and a base connected to each other, and the base of each cabinet is made of a corrosion-resistant material.
The selection of cash registers is carried out according to a certain scheme. For small shops- 1 box per 80-100 sq.m. area, for medium-sized stores - 1 cash box per 150 sq. m., and for large stores - 150-200 sq. m. Besides 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 register, its compliance with the store format and the skills of the cashier. Express cash registers are used to quickly serve customers with individual purchases. This creates great convenience for buyers and saves time during checkout.
What affects the speed of customer service?
The configuration of the cashier’s workplace directly determines how quickly the payment will be made. It is worth noting the influence of the content of the POS terminal device and the scanning system on the cash register device. There are vertical, horizontal (built-in) and manual product scanners. Multiplane scanners are more optimal. They are built into the working surface of the cash register. To read the code, the cashier simply passes the item over the scanner. The choice of 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 bulk goods such as candy, fruits, and vegetables. When the scales are located at the checkout, you save space in trading floor and there is no longer any need to additionally assign a person to them.
