20080265043 | Cash drawer tender separator - A tender separator for placement in a section of a till, such that tenders can be separated within the section by placing a first form of tender below the separator and a second form of tender above the separator. Preferably, the tender separator is movable in a vertical direction to accommodate varying amounts of the first form of tender. Optionally, the tender separator may be adapted for placement in one or more tracks of a back of the section, such that the tender separator is movable, in a vertical direction, in the one or more tracks. As another option, more than one separator may be placed in one section of the till, such that multiple forms of tender can be separated within the section by placing the tender separators between the multiple forms of tender. The tender separators may be tabbed and/or flexible (e.g., for easier access to tenders placed therebeneath). | 10-30-2008 |
20090101724 | APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING AND STORING BANKNOTES - A cash drawer unit is disclosed having a cash drawer moveable between an open position and a closed position, a plunger, and a storage box for storing banknotes and having a slot for receiving the banknotes.

Further, the arrangement comprises at least one sensor unit for outputting a control signal, an authentication unit for determining authentication information, and a control unit. The head module comprises at least one electromechanical locking unit which in a locking state generates a locking of the front panel with the frame, and which unlocks the locking in an unlocking state. The control unit is configured to perform detection of the control signal and a verification of the authentication information, and to control the electromechanical locking unit such that changing the electromechanical locking unit from the locking state into the unlocking state only takes place upon detection of the control signal and upon successful verification of the authentication information. | 05-05-2022 |
20080237360 | POS SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING POS SYSTEM - A receipt-and-payment-information transmitting unit of a change dispenser transmits receipt and payment information of receipt and payment processing, which is started according to reception of a start instruction for independent operation, to a POS terminal. An icon display/deleting unit of the POS terminal causes a display device to display an icon indicating that receipt and payment information is received on a display screen. An alternation-processing prohibiting/releasing unit prohibits execution of operator alternation processing. A receipt-and-payment-information registering unit registers, in a storing unit, receipt and payment information including a receipt and payment type input from a receipt-and-payment-type input screen displayed according to an execution instruction for the icon. When receipt and payment types corresponding to all pieces of receipt and payment information are registered, the icon display/deleting unit deletes the icon from the display screen. The alternation-processing prohibiting/releasing unit 23 releases the prohibition of execution of the operator alternation processing. | 10-02-2008 |
20090014544 | RETAIL CASH DRAWER WITH INTEGRATED CHANGE HELPER DISPLAYS - A cash register having a cash drawer, the cash drawer including currency compartments, each of the currency compartments having a display for indicating a quantity of currency to be withdrawn from the respective currency compartment. | 01-15-2009 |
20090057423 | CASH PROCESSING MACHINE - This invention provides a coin depositing and dispensing machine capable of clearly specifying whether each coin dispensed into the same coin dispensing port is a coin to be paid or rejected coin, and preventing the coins from being mistakenly mishandled. Light emitting unit capable of emitting light of different colors is disposed in the vicinity of the coin dispensing port. The light emitting unit emits a green light if the coin dispensed into the coin dispensing port is a coin to be paid, and emits a red light if the dispensed coin is a rejected coin. The light emitting unit irradiates light to the whole coin dispensing port and the coins themselves in the coin dispensing port. When the coins are taken out from the coin dispensing port, it can be recognized whether the coin is a coin to be paid or rejected coin. | 03-05-2009 |
20090101723 | Bill/coin processing system - A bill and coin processing system including a bill and coin processing apparatus having: an interface unit capable of exchanging information via a communication unit with the point-of-sales terminal machine; a money receiving unit receiving money by way of a price of a commercial product; a discriminating unit discriminating between at least denominations of the bills and coins received from the money receiving unit; a storing/discharging unit stored with the received bills and coins on the basis of a result of the discrimination made by the discriminating unit and capable of discharging the bills and coins by giving a discharge instruction to the bill and coin processing apparatus from the point-of-sales terminal machine; a money discharging unit discharging the bills and coins outside a machine, which have been discharged from the storing/discharging unit; and a control unit controlling the money discharging unit to discharge the bills and coins from the storing/discharging unit on the basis of a discharge instruction accepted by the interface unit and given to the bill and coin processing apparatus from the point-of-sales terminal machine. | 04-23-2009 |
