- 7. The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the base member of the support includes a body having a pair of opposed arms, the arms in supported relation with the housing, wherein a slot extends in each arm, wherein the slots extend along a first direction, wherein a fastening member in operative connection with the housing extends in each slot, and wherein the base member is selectively movable in the first direction or is held in a fixed position relative to the housing by the fastening member.
- 8. The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the fastening mechanism selectively holding the top flange and the bottom flange includes a post member and slotted aperture.
- 9. The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the bottom flange is movably mounted relative to the base member, wherein the bottom flange is movable in a direction generally perpendicular to an axis of rotation about which the second member is movable relative to the base member.
- 10. The apparatus according to claim 9 and further comprising a further fastening mechanism for releasibly holding the bottom flange in fixed relative relation to the base member, wherein the further fastening mechanism includes a post member and a slotted aperture.
- 11. The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the second member includes in cross section a pair of spaced legs, the legs extending from the second member in a direction away from the base member, and wherein the display extends between the legs.
- 12. The apparatus according to claim 11 wherein the support further includes a pair of flange members, wherein each flange member is in supporting connection with one of the legs and wherein the display is supported by the flange members.
- 13. The apparatus according to claim 11 and further comprising a third member supported by the second member, wherein the display is supported by the third member.
- 14. The apparatus according to claim 13 wherein the third member includes a pair of spaced projections, each of the projections being operatively engaged with one of the legs of the second member.
- 15. The apparatus according to claim 13 wherein the third member includes a top surface in supporting connection with the display, and wherein the display has an engaging bracket operatively engaging the top surface, and further comprising a further fastening mechanism including a slotted aperture and post member, wherein the further fastening mechanism releasibly holds the top surface relative to the engaging bracket.
- 16. The apparatus according to claim 6, and further comprising a surround extending intermediate of the screen and the display opening, whereby the surround enables displays having different sized screens to extend in generally gapless relation in the screen opening.
- 17. A transaction machine apparatus comprising:a fascia including a display opening therethrough; a display, wherein the display is viewable through the display opening in the fascia; an adjustable support, wherein the support is operative to support the display, the support including: a base member supported on a housing of the machine; and a second member in supporting connection with the base member, wherein the second member is movably mounted relative to the base member, wherein the second member is movable both rotationally and vertically relative to the base member.
- 18. The apparatus according to claim 17 wherein the base member is movably mounted in supporting connection with the housing, wherein the base member is movable relative to the housing in a generally horizontal direction.
- 19. A method comprising the steps of:supporting a base member on a housing of an automated transaction machine, the base member including in transverse cross section a U-shaped portion; further supporting a second member on the base member, the second member being movably mounted on the base member both in a rotational direction and a vertical direction; mounting a display in supported connection with the second member; and moving the second member relative to the base member to align the display with a display opening in a fascia of the machine.
- 20. The method according to claim 19 wherein the display includes a screen, and prior to the moving step further comprising the step of positioning a surround in intermediate relation between the display and the display opening, wherein in the moving step the surround extends between the screen and the display opening.
- 21. The method according to claim 19 and prior to the moving step further comprising the steps of:removing a second display from supported connection with the second member; and disconnecting an intermediate support member from supporting connection with the second member.
- 22. The method according to claim 21 and prior to the mounting step further comprising the step of further removing a surround from a position intermediate of the fascia opening and the second display.
- 23. The method according to claim 21 wherein the first display has a first screen and the second display has a second screen, and wherein a size of the first screen differs from a size of the second screen.
- 24. The method according to claim 19 and prior to the mounting step further comprising the step of connecting an intermediate support member in operative connection with the second member, wherein in the mounting step the display is supported by the intermediate support member.
- 25. The method according to claim 24 and prior to the moving step further comprising the step of further connecting a monitor surround in intermediate relation between the display and the display opening of the fascia.
- 26. A transaction machine apparatus comprising:a fascia including a display opening therethrough; a display, wherein the display is viewable through the display opening in the fascia; an adjustable support, wherein the support is operative to support the display, the support including: a base member in supporting connection with a housing of the machine; and a second member in supporting connection with the base member, wherein the second member is movably mounted relative to the base member, wherein the second member is movable both rotationally and vertically relative to the base member; whereby the display is enabled to be selectively positioned relative to the display opening.
