A reverse vending machine has an insertion area for inserting an object into the inside of the reverse vending machine, a transport unit for transporting the object in a transport area along a transport axis and an arrangement of cameras for capturing images of the object from several capturing directions. The image capturing direction of each camera is directed toward the transport area. Further, the cameras are arranged outside the transport area and not below the transport area.

Reverse vending machine

The invention relates to apparatus having a cash box device () that comprises a housing () in which two roll storage systems () for storing bank notes are held.

Cash box with dual-roll storage system

A reception system for receiving objects comprises at least one reception device for receiving objects, a conveyor device, which has at least one conveyor belt section for conveying objects in a conveyance direction in the at least one reception device, and a sensor device, which is arranged on the at least one reception device, for detecting objects in the at least one reception device. It is provided in this case that the sensor device is designed to emit sensor signals along different signal paths over the reception device, to conclude a fill level of the reception device on the basis of an interaction of at least one of the sensor signals with objects conveyed into the reception device. In this manner, a reception system for receiving objects is provided, which enables further automation, in particular in the conveyance of objects into a reception device.

Reception system for receiving objects

The invention relates to a POS system arrangement with a transport belt device with at least one belt portion which for the transport of the goods present thereon can be put into a feed movement along a goods feed path, wherein the goods along the goods feed path are separable from each other by at least one goods divider, and a goods detection device for detecting goods transported by means of the transport belt device. There is provided at least one sensor device arranged at a distance from the goods detection device along the goods feed path with a sensor and a detection area, wherein the sensor device is configured to detect by means of the sensor whether the goods divider is present in the detection area, and a control device which is configured to control the feed movement of the belt portion of the transport belt device.

A cash register system () has an arm () for holding a display unit (). The arm () has a first section () and a second section () pivotable relative thereto. The second section () is pivotable relative to the first section () between a first position in which the display unit () is arranged above a receiving area () and a second position in which the display unit () is not arranged above this receiving area ().

Cash register system with pivotable arms

The invention relates to a cash box () that comprises a housing () in which two roll storage systems () for storing bank notes are held.

The invention relates to a checkout-system arrangement (), having an item-acquisition device () for acquiring selected items which comprises a scanner () for acquiring the items and a first conveyor belt () for conveying the items placed on the first conveyor belt (). Furthermore, a packing device () is provided which comprises at least two item-receiving units (to), which are separate from one another, for receiving the scanned items and for making the items available. Between the first conveyor belt () and the packing device (), a conveying device () is provided which comprises a second conveyor belt () by means of which, after conveying () by means of the first conveyor belt, the scanned items are conveyable to the item-receiving units (to) of the packing device ().

Checkout-system arrangement

The invention relates to a device for detecting items with a transport device having two belt conveyors arranged one behind the other for transporting items in a transport direction, wherein a slot is configured between the belt conveyors perpendicular to the transport direction, and with a scanning unit for the contactless optical scanning through the slot of a contact surface of the items being transported on the transport device, where the slot is covered at least partially by a protective rail and is arranged spaced apart from the belt conveyors.

Device for detecting items

The invention relates to a device for optically scanning a machine-readable device applied to an object, comprising a transport apparatus for transporting the object in a transport direction, the object being supported on the transport apparatus on an underside, the transport apparatus containing a first transport belt with a first upper strand and a second transport belt with a second upper strand, wherein a gap is formed between the first transport belt and the second transport belt which is arranged ahead of the first transport belt in the transport direction, and comprising a scanning apparatus for scanning the machine-readable marking, wherein the scanning apparatus has at least one scanning element associated with the gap, wherein the first upper strand and the second upper strand are arranged so as to have a height offset relative to each other in such a way that the underside of the object can be scanned by tipping the object when the object is transferred from the first transport belt to the second transport belt.

Device and method for optically scanning a machine-readable marking

The invention relates to a computer case, comprising a case top, a case base, two lateral walls, a rear wall and a front cover, the case top being detachably retained at least on the rear wall and a power supply unit being arranged on one of the lateral walls. The computer case according to the invention is characterized in that the lateral wall on which the power supply unit is arranged is swiveled to the case base.

Computer case

A checkout system for handling sales or payment transactions with a computer module for electronically processing payment-related data, with at least one peripheral module which is connected electrically and mechanically to the computer module, wherein a housing wall of at least one peripheral device adjoins a housing wall of the computer module such that the mutually facing housing walls of said computer module and said peripheral module are arranged parallel, characterized in that the peripheral module () is in electrical contact with the computer module () and/or with a further peripheral module () by means of an electrical plug device (), wherein the electrical plug device () has at least corresponding plug/connection elements () which are respectively arranged on the mutually facing housing walls () of the adjacent modules (), and wherein the peripheral module () can be mechanically locked to the computer module () and/or to at least the further peripheral module () by means of a latching device ().

Checkout system

The invention relates to the combination of a balance and a cash register with a customer display device shared by both, customary cash register software being used for this purpose. A multiplexer is used, the one data input of which has weighing data of the balance applied to it and the other input of which has price and/or product data that are output by the data processing unit applied to it, the one data input being activated by a multiplex switching signal when the weighing data have a value other than zero.

Combination balance and cash register

In a printer with two printing stations, two printin-head holders ( ) with holding means ( ) for the detachable holding of one print head ( ) each are arranged on a carriage ( ) guided displaceably parallel to a print backing means ( ). The respective printing-head holder ( ) is designed for a first type of printing head ( ) and can be connected to a printing-head adapter which, in turn, is designed to hold a printing head ( ) of a different type.

Printer with two printing stations

A description is given of an ink jet printer having an ink jet print head which can be displaced parallel to a print line, and a print backing support used to support a recording medium, a covering device and a cleaning device for the ink nozzles of the ink jet print head. The covering device, the cleaning device and a supporting section for the recording medium are arranged on a rotatable disk within the printing area of the ink jet print head.
