ABSTRACT:
A store check-out station comprises a working table, an input conveyor, and an offset output conveyor. The top surface of the working table is preferably shaped in the form of a truncated sector of a circle, having its input edge orthogonal to its output edge. The input and output conveyors are elongated transfer beds, preferably gravity roller beds. The longitudinal axis of the output transfer bed is laterally offset from that of the input transfer bed. In a preferred embodiment, adapted for use with grocery cart and container systems, the difference in height between the top surface of the working table and that of the transfer beds is approximately equal to the height of a merchandise container.
