Filed:

Jun 29, 1988

Appl. No.:

7/212839

Inventors:

George Heys - Cambridge OH
Andrew E. Yandora - Cambridge OH
Philip D. McDowell - Cambridge OH

Assignee:

NCR Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

G06F 100

US Classification:

361393

Abstract:

An electronic terminal device is fabricated so as to be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled by use of housing parts and internal parts having snap-type fasteners. Separate fasteners such as screws are not needed. Special tools are not required for assembly and disassembly of the device. Performance of repair and maintenance functions by purchasers of the equipment is thus facilitated.

Appl. No.:

7/479225

Inventors:

George Heys - Cambridge OH
Andrew E. Yandora - Cambridge OH
Philip D. McDowell - Cambridge OH

Assignee:

NCR Corporation - Dayton OH

International Classification:

H05K 502

US Classification:

341 22

Abstract:

A data processing terminal is provided with a keyboard which can be removed to provide access to the interior of the terminal for maintenance and repair of electrical components contained therein. Removal of the keyboard causes the operating circuit for the terminal to be interrupted, thereby eliminating danger of shock to someone working in the interior of the terminal. Assembly of the keyboard to the remainder of the terminal is accomplished largely by means of molded engaging and latching elements, thereby minimizing the effort required for assembly and disassembly.

International Classification:

H01R 1358

US Classification:

174135

Abstract:

Passive strain relief apparatus provides relief of strain on cable connections to electrical components within an electrical device such as a point of sale terminal, which strain is caused by tension on cables extending from said device. The strain relief apparatus includes a flexible strain relief element which is located within said device and is positioned adjacent to an opening in said device through which the cables extend. The cables are pinched by recesses in the strain relief element in which they are positioned. Tension on the cables causes said strain relief element to flex, thereby relieving the tension.
