Abstract
An automated banking machine (10) includes an enclosure (12). The enclosure has an interior area (14) in which serviceable components (48, 52, 64, 68) are positioned on rollout trays (46, 50, 62, 66). The enclosure has a rear opening (18) which is selectively accessible through service doors (54, 58, 60). The enclosure further includes a front opening (16) which is bounded by a frame (20). A fascia (22) having input devices thereon is removably positionable in said frame. The fascia is held in engagement with said frame by a disengageable latch including locks (94, 98) and latching brackets (92). The locks are connected to release arms (102, 110) which enable releasing the disengageable latch once access to the interior area has been gained by opening the service doors. Serviceable components may be readily serviced by extending the components out of the interior area of the machine on the rollout trays. Adjacent rollout trays may be selectively extended and retracted to enable a service technician to service the components while occupying a minimum of floor space.
