An electronic gaming device comprising a drive assembly operable to selectively move a monitor of the electronic gaming device relative to a pedestal of the electronic gaming device between an open position and a closed position, the drive assembly comprising:
- a biasing element;
- a wire harness coupled to the monitor;
- a cable coupled to a podium;
- and
- a tensioner, wherein the podium and the tensioner provide a force to control movement of the monitor between the open position and the closed position.
A drive assembly for selectively moving a first element relative to a second element, the first element comprising a monitor, the drive assembly comprising:
- a wire harness coupled to the monitor;
- a cable coupled to the second element;
- and
- a tensioner, wherein the second element and the tensioner provide a force to control movement of the monitor between an open position and a closed position.
A method of manufacturing an electronic gaming device, the method comprising:
- providing a drive assembly, the drive assembly comprising:
- a wire harness;
- a cable;
- and
- a tensioner;
- coupling the drive assembly to a podium via the cable;
- and
- coupling the drive assembly to a monitor via the wire harness, wherein the podium and the tensioner provide a force to control movement of the monitor between an open position and a closed position.
