Claims
- 1. An automated banking machine apparatus comprising:
- an enclosure, the enclosure having an interior area housing serviceable components of the machine;
- a fascia, the fascia including user operable components, wherein the fascia is in operative connection with the enclosure;
- a light source, wherein the light source is movably mounted in the enclosure, and wherein the light source is movable between a first position wherein the light source illuminates the fascia and a second position wherein the light source illuminates the interior area.
- 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the enclosure includes a light conducting passage, wherein the passage conducts light to illuminate the fascia and wherein in the first position the light source extends in the passage.
- 3. The apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the light conducting passage extends in an opening in a wall of the building.
- 4. The apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the light source is supported on a bracket, wherein the bracket enables selectively moving the light source in an upward direction out of the passage.
- 5. The apparatus according to claim 4 wherein the bracket enables rotating the light source after the light source has been moved out of the passage.
- 6. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the light source is an elongated light source and wherein the light source is supported on a pair of horizontally spaced brackets, and wherein the light source is movable while in supported connection with the brackets.
- 7. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the light source is an elongated light source, and wherein the light source is supported on a pair of horizontally spaced brackets, and wherein the light source is vertically movable while in supported connection with the brackets.
- 8. The apparatus according to claim 7 wherein the light source is rotationally movable in supported connection with the brackets after the light source is moved vertically a first distance.
- 9. The apparatus according to claim 8 and further comprising a light conducting passage wherein the light conducting passage conducts light to illuminate the fascia, and wherein the passage includes a pocket, and wherein the light source extends in the pocket in the first position, and wherein after the light source is moved the distance vertically the light source is enabled to be rotated.
- 10. The apparatus according to claim 7 wherein each of the brackets includes a vertically elongated slot.
- 11. The apparatus according to claim 10 wherein each bracket includes an L-shaped slot.
- 12. The machine according to claim 1 and further comprising a movable member in the enclosure, wherein movement movable member from a first position to a second position is operative to operatively disconnect the light source from the conducting means whereby the user actuatable components are no longer illuminated by the light source.
- 13. The apparatus according to claim 12 wherein movement of the movable member to the second position is operative to cause the light source to illuminate at least one of the serviceable components in the interior area.
- 14. An automated banking machine apparatus comprising:
- an enclosure having an interior area housing serviceable components;
- a housing extension extending through an opening in a building wall;
- a fascia positioned in the housing extension;
- a light source in the enclosure;
- a light conducting passage extending from the enclosure to adjacent the fascia, wherein when the light source is in operative connection with the light conducting passage the fascia is illuminated.
- 15. The apparatus according to claim 14 wherein the light conducting passage is a reflective passage extending in the housing extension.
- 16. The apparatus according to claim 14 and further comprising a movable member wherein movement of the member directs light from the light source to the interior area.
- 17. An automated banking machine apparatus comprising:
- an enclosure bounding an interior area housing serviceable components;
- a fascia having user actuatable components, the fascia in operative connection with the enclosure;
- a light source;
- a movable member, wherein the movable member is movable between a first position wherein light from the light source is directed to illuminate the fascia, and a second position wherein light from the light source is directed to the interior area.
- 18. A method comprising the steps of:
- installing a light source in connection with electrical contacts inside a housing of an automated banking machine;
- moving the light source into a light conducting passage that conducts light to illuminate a fascia of the machine.
- 19. The method according to claim 18 wherein the moving step comprises moving the light source from a first position wherein the light source illuminates an interior area of the housing to a second position wherein the light source is within the light conducting passage.
- 20. A machine for conducting transactions comprising:
- an enclosure bounding an interior area, wherein the interior area houses serviceable components of the machine;
- a fascia of the machine having user actuatable components thereon, the fascia in operative connection with the enclosure;
- a light source within the enclosure; and
- conducting means for conducting light from the light source in the machine to the fascia, wherein the light source is operative to illuminate the user actuatable components.
