Plinth for automated teller machine
View Patent ↗A plinth comprises a base ( 6 ), a support plate ( 2 ) and support legs ( 4 ) supporting the plate ( 2 ) above the base ( 6 ). The support leg ( 4 ) includes a collar ( 20 ) which is attachable to the base ( 6 ), an extension member ( 22 ) which is received at one end in the collar ( 20 ), and a adjustment member ( 24 ) on the other end of the support leg ( 22 ), and attachable to the plate by a threaded adjuster ( 32, 40, 42 ). The adjustment member may be attached directly to the base ( 6 ), and in different orientations, so that adjuster ( 32 ) is received in different apertures ( 32, 32′, 32″ ), providing a range of adjustment at low heights.
1. A plinth comprising a base, a support plate and at least three support legs supporting the plate above the base, in which each support leg includes a collar which is attachable to the base, an extension member which is received at one end in the collar, and
an adjustment member on the other end of each support leg, and attachable directly to the plate.
2. A plinth as claimed in claim 1 , in which the adjustment member may be attached to the base in one of a plurality of orientations, each giving a different height of support to the support plate.
3. A plinth as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the adjustment member cooperates with an adjuster for fine adjustment of the height of the plate, wherein means is provided for attaching the adjuster to the adjustment member body at different positions, to suit the orientation of the adjustment member.
4. A plinth as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the adjuster is attached to the support plate.
5. A plinth as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the adjuster comprises a threaded rod which is received in an aperture in a wall of the adjustment member body, and apertures for receiving the threaded rod are provided in a plurality of walls of the body.
6. In combination, an automated teller machine and a plinth as defined in claim 1 .
7. A height adjuster for a plinth, comprising an adjuster attached to the plinth and a body for supporting the plinth, wherein means is provided for attaching the adjuster to the body at different positions, to suit the orientation of the body, and wherein the adjuster comprises a threaded rod which is received in an aperture in a wall of the body, and apertures for receiving the threaded rod are provided in a plurality of walls of the body.
8. In combination, an automated teller machine and a plinth having a base, a support on which a device is to be supported and at least three support legs supporting the plate above the base, wherein each support leg is adapted to be mounted on the base in different orientations to provide for different heights of the support plate relative to the base.
