A modular support column allows electrical signal- and power-transmitting lines between a data-processing device and an associated weighing device to be enclosed. The modular support column includes a foot module (5; 6), at least a primary pole module (10), at least one adapter module (20, 50), mechanical connector elements (70, 80) and fasteners (55, 75). The modular support column, when assembled, has a central axis (a) defining an axial direction. A first axial end (11) of the primary pole module is connected to the foot module which, in turn, is to a chassis base (4) of a weighing scale (3). A second axial end (12) is connected to the at least one adapter module. The mechanical connector elements and fasteners are also enclosed. Extension pole modules (40) and adapter modules (20, 50) can extend the modular support column. |

1. A device for supporting one or more data-processing devices associated with a weighing scale or a point-of-sale terminal, wherein the data-processing devices, each having electrical signal- and power-transmitting lines, include at least one of: a video display screen, a touchscreen panel, a keyboard and a printer, the device comprising:
a foot module, adapted for connection to one of: a chassis base of a weighing scale, a table, a floor or a ceiling; at least one adapter module, each adapter module adapted to connect one of the data processing devices to the device; a primary pole module and, optionally, one or more extension pole modules, the primary pole module having, in an assembled condition, a first axial end thereof connected to the foot module and a second axial end thereof connected to one of the at least one adapter modules or at least one of the extension pole modules; and mechanical connector elements and fasteners that secure the respective foot module, adapter modules and pole modules to each other in the assembled condition to provide a support column having a continuous central axis that defines an axial direction, wherein the mechanical connector elements, the fasteners and the electrical signal- and power-transmitting lines are enclosed completely inside the support column. |
