ABSTRACT:
An integrated, secured point-of-sale (POS) system comprises a cabinet housing computer electronics, a keyboard, a monitor, and a customer display assembled in a modular construction. The cabinet has a cover that is connected to a base using a pair of release rods for easy assembly and disassembly without the use of tools. The keyboard is attached to the cabinet with quick-release connectors. Security locks are provided in the keyboard to protect proprietary data stored in the POS system. The cabinet includes a printer platform for supporting a printer and a display platform for supporting the monitor and customer display. The monitor is connected to the display platform for two-dimensional displacement using a skewed rod extending from the monitor and cooperating with a guide slot in the display platform or vice versa. A monitor mounting mechanism employing a simple yet efficient pin-and-slot connection provides precise tilt-and-swivel motion of the monitor relative to the display platform. The monitor is connected to the monitor mounting mechanism using quick-release clips or couplings. The customer display is spring-mounted through a shock-absorbing support mechanism to the display platform. The support mechanism provides for quick-release height adjustment, rotation, and horizontal sliding motion of the customer display. The monitor and keyboard can be separated from the cabinet without the use of tools. The cabinet cover can be removed to access the computer electronics housed inside the cabinet without the need for tools or turning the cabinet over to undo screws.
