Abstract: An apparatus operates to cause financial transfers responsive to data read from data bearing records. The apparatus includes a card reader that is operative to read card data from a user card. At least one computer in operative connection with the card reader is operative to cause a determination to be made that the read card data corresponds to an authorized financial account. The at least one computer is operative to cause a financial transfer to or from the account responsive to the determination and user inputs to at least one input device of the machine. The automated banking machine includes a housing. The housing is at least partially surrounded by an enclosure that operates to protect the housing and machine from environmental conditions.

Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a card reader, a display device, a currency dispenser, and a deposit storage chest. The machine can receive user deposits for storage in the chest. The machine includes a card reader cooling device. The machine can also facilitate cooling of the display device.

Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a display device in an upper housing portion and a currency dispenser in a (lower) chest housing portion. A cooling system within the machine housing is operative to cool air in the housing. The cooling system includes temperature sensors, an air duct, a blower, and an air cooling device. The duct extends between the separated chest portion and the upper portion. The chest portion houses the blower, which is operative to move air through the duct. A controller can operate the air cooling device to maintain the air temperature in both the upper portion and the chest portion within a predetermined temperature range.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes a lockable first fascia portion (20) which when unlocked enables access to a chest lock input device (104), inputs to which enable opening a chest door (18) of the machine. Opening the first fascia portion also enables access to an actuator (116) which enables moving a second fascia portion (22) for conducting service activities. A baffle structure (164) is positioned on the housing adjacent the second fascia portion to enable cooling air flow within the housing of the machine and to prevent the introduction of moisture into the housing. A controller (72) in the machine selectively illuminates light emitting devices (118, 126) for purposes of facilitating user operation of the machine. Servicing the machine is facilitated through use of a portable diagnostic article (98) which enables the controller to access diagnostic data stored in memory.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) has a housing (12). A rollout tray (32) supports serviceable components including a display (36) and a keypad (48) thereon. The rollout tray includes a service opening (54) which is used to access service points on the serviceable components when the rollout tray is extended from the housing. When the tray is retracted access through the service opening is blocked.
