Abstract
A stand for an electronic point-of-sale terminal can include a moveable arm including a mounting plate at an upper end thereof and a moveable hinge at a lower end thereof, the moveable arm configured to move from a forward cantilevered position to a rearward cantilevered position over a check-out area associated with an electronic point-of-sale terminal, the mounting plate configured to moveably couple the moveable arm to an electronic display of the electronic point-of-sale terminal, the moveable hinge configured to rotate responsive to movement of the moveable arm, a base plate configured to maintain the electronic point-of-sale terminal in an upright position when the electronic display is moved between the forward cantilevered position and the rearward cantilevered position, and a moveable counterweight inside the base plate, and moveably coupled to the moveable hinge, to move from a first counterweight position inside the base plate when the moveable arm is in the forward cantilevered position to a second counterweight position inside the base plate when the moveable arm is in the rearward cantilevered position.
