Abstract

An apparatus for dispensing bank notes, comprising a cabinet housing, a bank note store, electronic components, and a base assembly 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 relative to the support assembly. Arranged on the undersurface of the cabinet is a number of balls on which the cabinet rolls as it is rotated and four rest pads against which four runners mounted in respective corners of the support plate rest when the cabinet is located in its customer serving position or its refilling and servicing position. Arranged in the cabinet is a locking arrangement which can be caused to cooperate with locking grooves arranged in the support base when the cabinet is located in its customer serving position or its refilling position. Cables extending from the cabinet are coiled 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.
