(57) 0 An apparatus for dispensing banknotes, comprising a cabinet (10) housing a banknote
store, electronic components etc., and a base assembly (62) which forms a base for
the cabinet and which can be attached to a wall or a floor of a room in which the
apparatus is to be used.
The base assembly comprises a support plate arranged to permit limited rotation of
the cabinet (10) relative to the support assembly. Arranged on the undersurface of
the cabinet (10) is a number of runners, on which the cabinet rolls as it is rotated
and four restpads against which four runners mounted in respect corners of the support
plate rest when the cabinet is located in its customer serving position or its re-filling
and servicing position. Arranged in the cabinet (10) is a locking arrangement which
can be caused to co-act with locking grooves arranged in the support plate, when the
cabinet is located in its customer serving position or its re-filling position. Cables
extending from the cabinet (10) are placed in coils in a recess in the base assembly,
and are drawn from the base assembly close to the wall in which the base assembly
is fixedly mounted, in the case of a wall attachment.
The rest pads are wedge-shaped so that when the cabinet is rotated, it is initially
lowered and then raised.
