Abstract
A self-checkout device of an embodiment includes a bagging stand, a pair of pillars, a beam, a user interface terminal, and one or more brackets. The bagging stand includes a table and a scale that weighs a load placed on the table. The pair of pillars is installed on the bagging stand with a longitudinal direction thereof oriented vertically, and at least one outer surface of the pair of pillars is configured with a split exterior member that is splittable into a plurality of pieces in the longitudinal direction. The beam connects upper ends of the pillars. The user interface terminal is mounted on the beam. The one or more brackets receive attachment of an external device, and the bracket is positionally interchangeable with a part of the split exterior member.
Claims5
A self-checkout device comprising:
- a bagging stand including a table and a scale for measuring a load placed on the table;
- a pair of pillars installed on the bagging stand with a longitudinal direction of the pair of pillars oriented vertically;
- a beam configured to connect upper ends of the pair of pillars;
- a user interface terminal mounted on the beam;
- and
- one or more brackets configured to receive attachment of an external device, wherein
- the pair of pillars are installed on an upper surface of the bagging stand at horizontal ends of a non-weighing area located in a further back side than the table,
- the pair of pillars have respective first surfaces opposing each other and respective second surfaces opposite to the first surfaces,
- the first surfaces and the second surfaces are formed by vertically combining the one or more brackets and a plurality of kinds of split exterior members together such that an order of arrangement of the one or more brackets and the plurality of kinds of split exterior members is changeable, the plurality of kinds of split exterior members differing in dimension in the longitudinal direction, and
- each of the one or more brackets forms a part of the second surfaces such that the external device attached to the bracket is located outside the table.
