Abstract: A fascia for a public access terminal is described. The fascia comprises: at least one user interface element on a front portion thereof (such as a customer display or a dispense slot), and a metal plate mounted on a rear portion thereof. The metal plate is dimensioned to close a metal body of the public access terminal so that the combination of the metal plate and the metal body provide a flame retardant public access terminal.

Abstract: A plinth is disclosed for the support of an attached object. The plinth has a fixing portion for embedding into a secure foundation. The plinth also has a base plate for support of the object, through support means, which are arranged to crumple under an impact, without the object becoming detached from the plinth.

Abstract: A security means comprises a spray tray; a dispenser slot positioned so as to dispense media into the spray tray; and a security cover positioned to cover said spray tray and slot. The cover is arranged so as to cause a sweep member to sweep past the dispenser slot and thus dislodge any foreign body adjacent the slot, when the cover is moved between closed and opened positions.

Abstract: A self-service terminal (SST) (10) is provided which includes a plurality of media dispense and deposit modules (16), a media port (14), and a media transport (22) movable between the modules (16) and the port (14), the transport (22) including a media entrance and a media exit. The transport (22) may be movable vertically, horizontally, or both. Embodiments of the invention include SSTs with a number of separate media module assemblies and a number of movable transports, and SSTs with two communicating transports which may pass media between them.

Abstract: A self-service terminal (SST) (10) is provided comprising a plurality of user interfacing elements (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24) and a plurality of sound issuing arrangements (28, 30). The sound generated may be modulated to provide sound with an apparent source in the vicinity of a selected user interfacing element, so that a user's attention may be directed to the appropriate element, and so the user may be guided through the steps of a transaction. The invention may be provided in conjunction with conventional visual attention-directing devices, such as LEDs (26).
