Abstract

A compact, secure enclosure for an automatic teller machine is provided. The automatic teller machine is of the type having a secure front panel and on operable rear panel. The enclosure is defined by a closed wall. The wall has a forward portion in which the automatic teller machine is located and a rearward portion which permits servicing of the automatic teller machine. The closed wall has a cut-out zone extending a substantial distance around the forward portion of the wall. The height of the cut-out zone is sufficient to accommodate the front face of the automatic teller machine. Within the forward portion of the enclosure a base is mounted which is capable of supporting the automatic teller machine. The base can be rotated 180.degree. so that the automatic teller machine when supported thereon can assume at least three significant positions. A portion of the automatic teller machine projects outward from the wall when the automatic teller machine is supported on the base and is in any of its significant positions. First and second shields are mounted along the inner surface of the wall. The shields move along the cut-out zone as the base is rotated to provide continuous security for the cut-out zone. A lockable door is provided at the rear of the wall to allow a person to unlock same and enter into the enclosure.
