Abstract:
A drawer assembly for covering multi-secure access module connectors and a merchant card connector housed within a cavity of a financial transaction terminal, said drawer assembly comprising:a first member and a second member; said first member being connected to said second member to thereby form a space therebetween for receiving and holding a merchant card; said second member comprising a movable tab member extending from an end thereof; said tab member having an upper surface and a lower surface; wherein said drawer assembly is capable of securedly holding and positioning a merchant card for insertion into and removal from said financial transaction terminal and said drawer assembly is capable of interconnecting with said terminal; and wherein when said merchant card is positioned in said drawer assembly, a downward movement of said movable tab causes said drawer assembly to become released from said terminal, such that removal of said drawer assembly causes said merchant card to disengage from said merchant card connector to thereby facilitate removal of said merchant card from said financial transaction terminal.
