ABSTRACT:
A retail terminal includes a display monitor and a base for supporting the display monitor. The retail terminal further includes a tilt mechanism for positioning the display monitor relative to the base. The tilt mechanism has a ratchet member supported by the display monitor. The ratchet member has a first plurality of ratchet teeth defined therein. The tilt mechanism further has a support structure secured to the base. The support structure has a second plurality of ratchet teeth defined therein. The first plurality of ratchet teeth engages the second plurality of ratchet teeth so as to hold the display monitor stationary relative to the base. The ratchet member further has a first spring arm and a second spring arm. The first spring arm and the second spring arm are each supported by the display monitor. The first spring arm and the second spring arm collectively cooperate to bias the first plurality of ratchet teeth into engagement with the second plurality of ratchet teeth.
