Display stand unit

A display stand unit for a retail environment, the display stand unit comprising:

• a base having an interior,
• a display stand comprising:
• a stem that connects to and extends upwardly from the base, and
• a receiving surface that is suspended above and spaced away from the base by the stem, the receiving surface configured to releasably hold an electronic device above and spaced away from the base,
• a security cable that extends out from the base, the security cable is configured to attach to the electronic device to movably secure the electronic device to the base, and
• a retractor disposed within the interior of the base and connected to the security cable, wherein the retractor is configured to automatically retract the security cable, and wherein the retractor comprises:
• a stator comprising a fixture and an electronic contact that each extend through the stator;
• a housing assembly comprising:
• a first housing rotatably coupled to the fixture, wherein the first housing is fixed to the security cable, wherein the first housing comprises a contact spring provided on a first side of the first housing, and wherein the contact spring is electronically coupled to an end of the security cable;
• a protrusion that extends from a second side of the first housing away from the stator, the protrusion creating a core wall around which the security cable is configure to spool;
• and
• a second housing spaced away from the second side of the first housing;
• and
• a torsion spring that biases the housing assembly in a retraction direction, the torsion spring comprising a first end that is attached to the fixture and a second end that is connected to at least one of the first housing and the second housing,
• wherein the contact spring remains in direct electronic contact with the electronic contact of the stator as the first housing rotates about the fixture relative to the stator.

• a retractor disposed within the interior of the base and connected to the security cable, wherein the retractor is configured to automatically retract the security cable;
• a printed circuit board assembly disposed within the interior;
• and
• an alarm connected to the printed circuit board assembly,
• wherein the security cable comprises a security pod configured to be adhered to the device, the security pod comprising a resistor, wherein the security cable and the resistor are connected in a security circuit and the printed circuit board assembly is configured to measure a resistance of the security circuit,
• wherein the printed circuit board assembly is electrically connected to the security cable and is configured to receive electrical signals indicative of tampering with the security cable,
• wherein the electrical signals indicative of tampering comprise the resistance of the security circuit measured by the printed circuit board assembly exceeding a tolerance, and
• wherein in response to detecting the electrical signals indicative of tampering with the security cable the printed circuit board assembly is configured to activate the alarm.

A display stand unit for a retail environment, the display stand unit comprising:

• a base having an interior;
• a first display stand comprising:
• a stem that connects to and extends upwardly from the base;
• and
• a receiving surface that is suspended above and spaced away from the base by the stem, the receiving surface configured to releasably hold a first electronic device above and spaced away from the base;
• a first security cable that extends out from the base, wherein the first security cable is configured to attach to the first electronic device to movably secure the first electronic device to the base;
• a first retractor disposed within the interior of the base and connected to the first security cable, wherein the first retractor is configured to automatically retract the first security cable;
• a second display stand that is identical to the first display stand and that is configured to releasably hold a second electronic device above and spaced away from the base;
• a second security cable that extends out from the base, wherein the second security cable is configured to attach to the second electronic device to movably secure the second electronic device to the base;
• and
• a second retractor disposed within the interior of the base and connected to the second security cable, wherein the second retractor is configured to automatically retract the second security cable.
