ABSTRACT:
A housing unit for attaching a peripheral device to an integrated display computer, and an integrated display computer with peripherals attached thereto. The peripherals are enclosed in a peripheral housing unit that is attached to a side of the computer that is adapted to accept the housing unit. The housing unit comprises an end cap and a shroud as well as internal components including an assembly bracket that are assembled to complete the unit. Only the portion of the peripheral or peripheral interface with which a user interacts is accessible through the housing unit. The remaining components are hidden within the housing unit. Various types of peripherals such as media card readers, bar code scanners, and magnetic card readers may be installed in the housing unit. Additionally, a housing unit that has an end cap and shroud but does not contain a peripheral may be attached to the computer. The peripheral housing unit gives each integrated display computer a similar, finished appearance regardless of which peripherals, if any, are enclosed.
