Disclosed herein are aspects of a transaction device stand. In one embodiment, the transaction device stand comprises a stand base having a base plate, a column having a shape, and a winged collar latching mechanism. A swivel top may be mounted to the stand base via the winged collar, the swivel top configured to be physically coupled to a transaction device. A tension mechanism may be implemented between a portion of the swivel top and a portion of the winged collar of the stand base such that the swivel top is held at a position relative to the stand base in tension.

Examples provide a conveyor device for aligning items on a conveyor belt. An arm controller device activates extension and/or retraction of one or more item alignment arms across a width of a conveyor belt in accordance with a set of instructions to block or un-block items from moving down the conveyor belt. An item alignment controller analyzes the sensor data and item data using item recognition analytics and location detection analytics to generate location data for items on the conveyor belt. A selected item closest to a scan area is selected. A set of instructions, including a sequence, timing and/or degree of extension for each telescoping arm in the plurality of item alignment arms is generated. The instructions control the extension of the item alignment arms to stop the set of remaining items while permitting the selected item to move unobstructed down the conveyor belt.

A coin dispensing apparatus includes a coin dispenser configured to dispense coins to a receiving tray, a sensor configured to detect one or more coins in the receiving tray, an output device, and a processor configured to control the output device to output a warning when the sensor detects no coins in the receiving tray after the processor instructs the coin dispenser to dispense a group of coins as change and the coin dispenser has dispensed at least one of the coins in the group but before the coin dispenser has dispensed all of the coins in the group.

The present invention discloses a checkout counter which includes loading areas, registration area and packing comprising; a loading area, a registration area comprising means for parallel checkout and registration of purchased goods where the means at least comprises; a first registration zone, a second registration zone, and at least one registration means adapted to register goods from the first and the second registration zone, and a packing area configured to receive goods from two registration zones in parallel. It is also disclosed a method for operation of a checkout counter according to one embodiment of the invention.

A trash bin cabinet for a checkout station in a retail store is described. The checkout station includes the trash bin cabinet with a drawer locking mechanism, and a trash level sensor with an optical notification system. The trash bin cabinet has a drawer unit that contains at least one trash bin. The drawer locking mechanism locks the drawer when the drawer unit is closed so the drawer unit does not come open by itself and become a hazard or a nuisance. The trash level sensor senses the level of trash in the trash bins and sends a trash level status signal to the optical notification system. The optical notification system optically radiates the trash level status signal so people or sensors can monitor the level of trash in the trash bins without visiting the checkout station.
