Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provides an automated teller machine comprising: a main frame; a display unit provided in the main frame; a front panel rotatably installed at the main frame; a mounting unit connecting the front panel rotatably to the main frame; a guide unit configured to guide frontward/backward movement of the display unit; and a link unit, rotatably connected to the mounting unit, configured to return the display unit that has been moved frontward to an original position when the front panel starts to be closed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An automated teller machine comprising:
a main frame;
a display unit provided in the main frame;
a front panel rotatably installed at the main frame;
a mounting unit connecting the front panel rotatably to the main frame;
a guide unit guiding front and backward movement of the display unit; and
a link unit, rotatably connected to the mounting unit, configured to return the display unit that has been moved frontward to an original position when the front panel starts to be closed.

2. The automated teller machine of claim 1 , wherein the guide unit includes:
a horizontal slit configured to guide the display unit to move in a horizontal direction; and
an inclined slit, extending from the horizontal slit and inclined downward.

3. The automated teller machine of claim 2 , wherein the display unit includes:
one or more guide protrusions projecting at one side or both sides the display unit,
wherein said one or more guide protrusions are inserted into the horizontal slit and the inclined slit and moved along the horizontal slit and the inclined slit.

4. The automated teller machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
an elastic member, having one end connected to the display unit and the other end connected to the guide unit,
wherein when the display unit is moved frontward from the guide unit, an elastic force of the elastic member acts on the display unit.

5. The automated teller machine of claim 1 , wherein the link unit includes:
a first link member having one end connected to the mounting unit via a first hinge;
a second link member having one end including a pin member inserted into a long hole formed at the first link member; and
a retracting member coupled to the other end of the second link member.

6. The automated teller machine of claim 5 , wherein the display unit has a retracting support member that becomes in contact with the retracting member when the front panel is closed, and
wherein when the retracting member rotates in a state where the display unit is moved frontward from the guide unit and reaches a frontmost position, the retracting member and the retracting support member are brought into contact with each other and the display unit is moved backward toward the guide unit by a rotation force.

7. The automated teller machine of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first damper, provided at an upper sidewall of the main frame, rotatably connected to the mounting unit, configured to reduce impact that may be generated when the front panel is opened or closed; and
a second damper, provided at a lower sidewall of the main frame, configured to reduce impact that may be generated when the front panel is closed.
