Abstract

See full text

An enclosure system for an electronic device such as a capacitive touch screen system preferably includes a front cover coupled to a universal rear enclosure unit via a hinge. A pan located between the front cover and the universal rear enclosure unit is pivotably coupled to the front cover. The front cover houses a touch screen and a display between the pan and the front cover. The universal rear enclosure unit houses computer equipment and power electronics for use by the touch screen, and does not have to be individually sized based on the size of the touch screen. The enclosure system also includes a seal between the front cover and the touch screen plate and between the touch screen plate and the universal rear enclosure unit, which prevents moisture or other debris from entering the enclosure system.
