Abstract: Disclosed herein are aspects of a transaction device stand. In one embodiment, the transaction device stand comprises a stand base having a base plate, a column having a shape, and a winged collar latching mechanism. A swivel top may be mounted to the stand base via the winged collar, the swivel top configured to be physically coupled to a transaction device. A tension mechanism may be implemented between a portion of the swivel top and a portion of the winged collar of the stand base such that the swivel top is held at a position relative to the stand base in tension.

Abstract: Examples provide a detachable card reader mounting system. A latching mechanism removably attaches a mounted card reader to a point-of-sale (POS) fixture for utilization in a fixed position. The latching mechanism detaches the mounted card reader from the POS fixture for utilization in a non-fixed position. This enables a user to hold the mounted card reader and adjust a location, proximity, and/or height of the mounted card reader to suit individual preferences of each user. A security cable anchors the mounted card reader to the POS fixture to prevent loss of the detached card reader. A padded ring holder provides a handle for a user to grip when it is detached from the POS fixture. A retractor device autonomously retracts the security cable to return the mounted card reader to a point of attachment on the POS fixture when detachment of the mounted card reader is no longer indicated.
