Product registration device and POS apparatus
A product registration device ( 10 ) includes a casing ( 100 ), a support portion ( 200 ), and a first display unit ( 310 ). The casing ( 100 ) accommodates a control unit. The casing ( 100 ) is vertically long. The support portion ( 200 ) protrudes from the casing ( 100 ). The first display unit ( 310 ) is supported to the casing ( 100 ) by the support portion ( 200 ). The first display unit ( 310 ) is vertically long. Therefore, a space occupied by the casing ( 100 ) in a lateral direction can be reduced, and a space occupied by the first display unit ( 310 ) in the lateral direction can be reduced. Thus, it is possible to reduce a space occupied by the product registration device ( 10 ) in the lateral direction.
1. A product registration device comprising:
a casing accommodating a control unit;
a support portion;
a first display unit supported on the casing by the support portion; and
a second display unit supported on the casing by the support portion,
wherein the casing is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, a length of a side of the rectangular parallelepiped in a height direction being longer than a length of a short side forming a bottom surface of the rectangular parallelepiped,
wherein the support portion comprises:
a first support member provided on a side surface of the casing including one long side of the bottom surface,
a second support member provided on the side surface of the casing and spaced apart from the first support member along the side surface of the casing,
a third support member attached to the first support member, the third support member being rotatable about a first axis extending in the height direction through the first support member, and
a fourth support member attached to the second support member, the fourth support member being rotatable about a second axis extending in the height direction through the second support member,
wherein the first display unit is attached to the third support member and is rotatable about a third axis, the third axis extending in a direction different from the height direction through a portion of the third support member that overlaps with at least a portion of the first support member in the height direction, and
wherein the second display unit is attached to the fourth support member and is rotatable about a fourth axis, the fourth axis extending in a direction different from the height direction through a portion of the fourth support member that overlaps with at least a portion of the second support member in the height direction.

14. A point of sale (POS) apparatus comprising:
a product registration device; and
a checkout machine,
wherein the product registration device comprises:
a casing accommodating a control unit,
a support portion,
a first display unit supported on the casing by the support portion, and
