Abstract

A support device for a payment terminal includes a base adapted to receive a plurality of connection cables on a rear face, and a cover adapted to mount in translation on the base and enabling concealment of the connection cables when the plurality of connection cables is connected to the rear face of the base. The cover has three apertures configured to enable passage of connection cables connected to the rear face of the base. The three apertures are formed respectively on a left lateral face, a right lateral face and a rear face of the cover. The base is mounted on a footing having an aperture configured to enable passage of connection cables connected to the rear face.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A support device for a payment terminal, comprising:
a base having a rear face and adapted to receiving a plurality of connection cables on the rear face; and
a cover adapted to being mounted in translation on the base and enabling concealment of said plurality of connection cables when the plurality of connection cables is connected to said rear face of the base;
wherein the cover has first, second and third apertures configured to enable passage of the plurality of connection cables connected to said rear face of the base, the first, second and third apertures being formed respectively on a left lateral face, a right lateral face and a rear face of the cover, and wherein the cover has an upper face having an aperture in the form of an arc on a front of the upper face, which is surmounted by a rib that runs along the aperture,
wherein the base is mounted on a footing comprising an aperture configured to enable exit, towards the ground, of the plurality of connection cables connected to said rear face of the base.

2. The support device according to claim 1 , wherein said first, second and third apertures in the cover are formed on a lower edge of the left lateral face, right lateral face and rear face of the cover.

3. The support device according to claim 2 , wherein said left lateral face, a right lateral face and a rear face apertures of the cover have a length of 40 mm and a height of 8 mm.

4. The support device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises an affixation lug in front of the left lateral face and an affixation lug on a front of the right lateral face, said affixation lugs being configured for insertion in housings provided on the base, on either side of the rear face of the base.

5. The support device according to claim 4 , wherein the cover also comprises first and second hooks within the rear face of the cover and placed on either side of the third aperture of the rear face of the cover, said hooks being configured for insertion in housings provided on a rear edge of the footing of the base.

6. The support device according to claim 1 , wherein the footing comprises, on a rear part of the footing and on either side of the aperture formed in the footing, a guide configured to guide the connection cables towards the second aperture of the right lateral face of the cover or towards the first aperture of the left lateral face of the cover.

7. The support device according to claim 6 , wherein the guide comprises an odd number of substantially aligned ribs, said ribs being spaced so that a connection cable can pass between two of the ribs.

8. The support device according to claim 7 , wherein said ribs are spaced by 6.2 mm.

9. The support device according to claim 8 , wherein each rib comprises a spike formed at a center and on top of the rib so that a cable passing between two of the ribs is blocked towards a bottom by the spike.
