Abstract
A point-of-sale system includes a stand that supports a tablet computer. The tablet computer can be connected through a hub to other peripheral components, such as a cash drawer. The cash drawer can include a slidable drawer including a front face, a back face, a first side face, a second side face, and a bottom face and having sliding rails that are hidden from a top view of the drawer. An inner shell is attached to the drawer and two sliding rails, the two sliding rails positioned under the inner shell. Further, a latch is movable between a first position in which the latch holds the drawer in a closed position and a second position in which the latch releases the drawer to an open position. An actuator is used to move the latch between the first and second positions.
