ABSTRACT:
A cash drawer assembly includes a housing having an interior region and a drawer received in the interior region for sliding movement between closed and open positions. The housing has a symmetrical construction so that the drawer can be received by the interior region of the housing when the housing is in an over-table position on a top surface of a counter or when the housing is inverted and mounted beneath the counter in an under-table position. The housing includes a rear wall formed to include a slot that is centered relative to the sides and relative to the top and bottom of the housing. A tongue extends rearwardly from a rear panel of the drawer. The tongue extends through the slot when the drawer is in the closed position independent of whether the housing is in the over-table or under-table position. A latching assembly catches the tongue when the drawer is in the closed position to lock the drawer in the closed position. A compression spring extends forwardly from the rear wall of the housing and the tongue extends through an interior region of the compression spring when the drawer is in the closed position.
