5. The terminal (10, 110) as claimed in claim 1, in which the electronic box (22, 122) is set up on or fixed to the plate (15) or—as viewed from the operator side—a section (14′) of the area of the foot part which is located behind the loadbearing part.
A terminal of the aforementioned type is offered and marketed by the applicant under the designation “XION” and, in side view, has approximately the shape of a semi-ellipse inclined rearward. A slot-like feed opening for documents is arranged on the vertex of the semi-ellipse. On the operator side, underneath the feed opening, there is a visual display unit inclined rearward in the manner of a desk and having a touch-sensitive input surface and, under the latter, a receiving compartment for documents which have passed through a document reader incorporated in the terminal behind the visual display unit. Underneath the receiving compartment, the operating side of a PC-based control device is always accessible.
The electronic box is preferably set up or fixed on the plate or a part of the area of the foot part which—as seen from the operator side—is located behind the loadbearing part. In this case, the electronic box is arranged on the foot part in such a way that its operating side rests on the loadbearing part, the loadbearing part being provided with at least one section which leaves the operating elements of the electronic box free. Then, when the document reader is resting on the loadbearing part, the operating side is then covered by said document reader or the document reader wall and is therefore removed from unauthorized access. In the position at a distance from the loadbearing part, the operating side of the electronic box is exposed for access to the operating elements.
The electronic box 22 is arranged on the plate 15 in such a way that its operating side 38 faces the loadbearing part 16. In the region of the operating side 38 of the electronic box 22, the loadbearing part 16 is provided with a cutout 40 which leaves operating elements—for example an “on” pushbutton 42 and a data medium reader 42′—belonging to the electronic box 22 and arranged on the operating side 38 free for access. A cable lead-through 44 in the loadbearing part 16 opens in the cavity in the plate 15.
For the purpose of installation of the terminal 10, the document reader wall 30 is moved into the position illustrated in FIG. 2 and at a distance from the loadbearing part 12. The lines 60, 62 are then threaded in and connected to the electronic box 22 and to the visual display unit 18 and to the document reader 20. Then, the “on” pushbutton 42 is operated and a data medium (not illustrated) is inserted into the data medium reader 42′. Then, or at the latest following the reading and the removal of the data medium, the document reader wall 30 is moved into the position illustrated in FIG. 1 and resting on the loadbearing part 12; the terminal 10 is ready to operate.
FIG. 4 shows a terminal 110 for processing forms according to a second exemplary embodiment of the invention, in a perspective side view. Like the terminal 10 according to the first exemplary embodiment—for which reason identical parts are provided with identical reference symbols—it comprises a stand 112 having a foot part 14, 14′ and a loadbearing part 116, a second visual display unit 118 with a touch-sensitive input area, a touch screen, as it is known, a document reader 20 and a second electronic box 122, in which a terminal control device is accommodated. At the top, the document reader 20 has a feed opening 24 for documents to be processed and, at the bottom, a receiving compartment 28 for documents which have passed through the document reader 20. The document reader 20 is fitted to the upper edge of a document reader wall 30, on its operating side 32.
The second electronic box 122 is of particular flat design. The second electronic box 122 is equipped with an additional housing 170, corresponding to the device disclosed by WO 9841073 A1, in which a second “on” pushbutton 142 and a second data medium reader 142′ are accommodated. The additional housing 170 is detachably and pivotably fixed to the second electronic box 122, specifically in such a way that connecting plugs 174 arranged on the connection side 172 of the second electronic box 122 and intended for cables leading to the visual display unit 118 and to the document reader 20 project into the
holding space 50 of the stand 12. It is therefore possible to omit a hollow plate for guiding the cables, which is designated by 15 in the case of the terminal 10 according to the first exemplary embodiment. The second “on” pushbutton 142 and the second data medium reader 142′ are again associated with the cutout 40 in the loadbearing part 16 (FIG. 2) in the selected arrangement of the additional housing 170.
