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.
