A self-service POS terminal device comprises a first antenna and a second antenna, and reads, via each of the first antenna and the second antenna, commodity-related information stored in IC tags of commodities. The first antenna is positioned at a position for reading the IC tags of the commodities loaded in a shopping basket at a prescribed position, and forms a first reading area. The second antenna is positioned at a position for reading the IC tags of the commodities taken out from the shopping basket at the prescribed position and put into a shopping bag, and forms a second reading area.

A charging stand of this invention includes: a terminal placing section; a terminal mounting portion, which is provided in the terminal placing section, and to which contact pins serving as charging terminals are mounted; a left-side top surface portion provided on a left side of the terminal mounting portion; and a right-side top surface portion provided on a right side of the terminal mounting portion. The terminal mounting portion includes a mounting portion ridge line and two mounting portion inclined surfaces. The left-side top surface portion includes: a left-side top surface portion ridge line extending at a height lower than a height of the mounting portion ridge line; and two left-side top surface portion inclined surfaces. The right-side top surface portion includes: a right-side top surface portion ridge line extending at a height lower than the height of the mounting portion ridge line; and two right-side top surface portion inclined surfaces.

Charging stand

A charging system for a portable terminal device of this invention includes: a charging stand, on which a portable terminal device is to be removably mounted; and a charging cable, which is to be removably mounted to the portable terminal device. The charging stand includes: a terminal mounting section on which the portable terminal device is to be mounted; and a stand charging terminal, which is configured to come into abutment with a charged terminal of the portable terminal device mounted on the terminal mounting section, to thereby charge the portable terminal device. The charging cable includes a cable charging terminal, which is configured to come into abutment with the charged terminal of the portable terminal device to which the charging cable is mounted, to thereby charge the portable terminal device.

A door locking device is applied to an electronic apparatus including a hinged door arranged in an opening portion of a casing. The door locking device includes a key cylinder and a pivot hook. When the door is closed and a movable element of the key cylinder is at a locked position, the pivot hook is caught on the casing to prevent the door from being opened. The door locking device further includes a rod member crank-coupled to the movable element of the key cylinder on an inner side of the door and configured to be displaced by interlocking with the movable element. When the door is closed and the movable element is at the locked position, a distal end (roller) of the rod member is held in contact with a rod receiving surface formed in the casing. Thus, the rod member keeps a closed state of the door.

A stationary scanner apparatuscomprises an image scanneroperable to read an item code, an imager attachment memberfixed to the image scanner, a support frameconfigured to support the imager attachment memberin a state in which the image scannerand imager attachment memberare rotatable about a horizontal axis with respect to the support frame, and a support portionfixed to the support frame. The imager attachment memberhas a first plate-shaped inclination holderformed on one side of lateral sides of the imager attachment memberand a second plate-shaped inclination holderformed on another side of the lateral sides of the imager attachment member. The support framehas a first plate-shaped guide memberarranged in contact with the first inclination holderand a second plate-shaped guide memberarranged in contact with the second inclination holder. A rotational position of the image scanneris held with a frictional force produced between the inclination holdersand the guide members
