  • Patent number: 5941618
    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.

  • Patent number: 5941373
    Abstract: A multiple-key key assembly includes an integrated key top and key base unit with a built-in stabilizer. The key top includes a key plunger for mating with a key plunger guide provided in the key seat of a keyboard to support the key assembly on the keyboard and for making key stroke contacts with depression of the key top. The stabilizer includes a swing rod connected in a movable fashion between the key top and the key base. When eccentric actuation occurs from the top of the key top, the eccentric force is deflected by the swing rod and uniform force transmission is achieved to provide smooth operation of the integrated key. A support plunger provided in the key top is guided by a support plunger guide provided in the key base for added stability. The integrated structure with the built-in stabilizer allows the integrated key assembly to be adapted to a wide range of multiple-key applications, including double and quad keys.
