Abstract: Cash drawer system for a point-of-sale terminal having a housing, a latchable drawer, and a mechanism for forcing the drawer outward. The drawer slides on a pair of slides positioned beneath the drawer, and the drawer is latchable to the slides by latches located in the front of the drawer. Orienting features of the slide and drawer cooperate to orient the drawer for latching during drawer insertion. The drawer is also laterally movable on the slides, which prevents jamming, binding and racking of the drawer if the slides are in a non-parallel position. A central portion of the drawer may be lower than the edges to provide increased media space below a cash till.

Abstract: An addressable electronic switch which switches power to an electromechanical device upon detection of an individual access code in a serial data stream. The addressable switch is capable of series connection with a host computer and other peripheral devices. The switch circuit receives a serial data stream containing access code information for one or more of such switches as well as data to be transmitted to another peripheral device, detects the presence of an individual access code within the data stream and causes a switching action in response thereto, and retransmits all data except its own detected access code.
