ABSTRACT:
A check-out counter formed of a forward check-out module, having a conveyor belt for transporting merchandise along the top thereof, and a rear bagging module having an upper merchandise receiving deck. The two modules are spaced apart and a stowable second conveyor unit is provided to bridge the space when desired to carry merchandise from the check-out module to the bagging module deck. The conveyor unit is formed of a pair of spaced apart rollers mounted upon opposite ends of a support frame and carrying an endless conveyor belt. One end of the unit is pivotally connected to the bagging module and the othe end is releasably latched to a rear edge of the check-out module. Thus, the unit may alternatively be extended between the modules for conveyor use or may be stowed, hanging downwardly from its pivots in a non-use position.
