There is disclosed a checkout system for use in a supermarket or other retail merchandise store or the like. The checkout system includes a stand alone label scanner device for scanning data bearing labels on the merchandise items and a bag supporting cart pivotally secured at one end to the floor adjacent the scanning device for supporting bags in an open position to receive merchandise items. Associated with the bagging cart is a counter shelf member pivotally attached to the cart. Slidably mounted on the shelf member is a shelf extension member. In one mode of operation the cart is positioned adjacent the discharged end of the scanning device to allow the checkout operator to move in one motion the merchandise items past the scanning device and into a bag located on the cart. In a second mode of operation, the cart is pivoted away from the scanning device where the counter shelf and its extension are moved to a position engaging the scanning unit to allow a bagger operator to continue to receive items from the scanning unit for loading into the same bags. The use of a bagging cart which can be selectively mounted on the floor in any position with respect to the checkout area allows the arrangement of the checkout area to be varied depending on the overall checkout system desired.

A method and retainer for retaining a circuit board in a mounted position within a housing of an electronic device. A working distance is determined, which is defined as the distance between the circuit board and the housing, and the length of the retainer is adjusted to such working distance, so that when a first end portion of the retainer is secured to a circuit board and the circuit board is mounted in the housing, the second end portion of the retainer is positioned to engage the housing and thereby retain the circuit board in a mounted position during shipment of the electronic device.

An automatic checkout system for a supermarket, or other retail merchandise store or the like. The system includes a checkout counter and a bagging cart movably mounted to the rear of the checkout counter for supporting bags orientated to receive items from the checkout counter. In one mode of operation, the cart is positioned to allow the operator to both check out and load merchandise items into the bags on the cart. In another mode of operation, the cart is rotated away from the checkout counter and a counter shelf is positioned between the cart and the checkout counter to allow a bagger to continue to receive and load items from the checkout counter into the same bags. The construction of the checkout counter and the bagging cart allows transition from one mode of operation to the other to occur without interrupting the checkout operation.
