Patent number: 5380990Abstract: The money drawer (3) has a lid (14), which is connected to the drawer housing (2) by the money drawer (3) being slid into the drawer housing and is detachable from the drawer housing (2) through the creation of the locking attachment between the lid and the money drawer. In a preferred refinement, the lid (14) contains a receiving tray (50) for an integrated circuit card, preferably for one conforming to ISO Standard 7816.2.3. A till drawer of this kind is suitable for all cash registers and, due to the possible allocation of a money drawer to a specific member of the till staff, can preferably be used in respect of cash registers where there is a frequent changeover of staff. The cards can be used as a company identity card enabling a cashier to clock on at the cash register.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1993Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignee: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AktiengesellschaftInventors: Gunter Baitz, Joachim Burchart, Hartmut Kamin

Patent number: 5316107Abstract: For purposes of the smooth and rapid checking out especially even of damaged goods labels, a process for the checking out of goods is proposed in which the data concerning them are automatically, and preferably also manually in the event of faulty checking, entered in the check-out device. In addition, at least two devices for implementing the process are described which have a goods check-out device with both an automatic scanning device and a manually operable input console. One of these devices also makes it possible to relieve and reduce the number of the service staff.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 1993Date of Patent: May 31, 1994Assignee: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AGInventors: Siegfried Wieschemann, Gunter Baitz, Hartmut Kamin
