In the secured pen holder of U.S. Pat. No. 6,167,596, a first resilient engagement between cover and base provides an indication of the replacement state in which the pen assembly can be replaced. A second resilient engagement between cover and base provides an indication of the use position in which the pen is held within the holder for use. A third resilient engagement between transport and base provides an indication that the transport is resiliently held in place at a position when the transport wall holds the pen tether and stop in place during the use state.

Secured pen and holder

A pen and pen holder arrangement provides security for retaining the pen and in which no tools are required to replace a used up pen. A pen with a flexible tether that terminates in a ball is employed together with a holder that receives the ball. The holder has a base with an opening adequate to pass the ball through and a transport that rotates within the base so that the ball can be moved from an insertion state to a holding state. In the holding state, the track has a dimension that holds the ball within the holder. A rotatable base cover that rotates with the transport obscures the transport from view and has a longitudinal slot opening enlarged at one end to permit the ball to be passed into the holder and otherwise a slot to permit the tether to move with the ball into the holding state.

A pen and penholder combination includes a pen portion. An elongated flexible tether attaches on one end to the pen and on another end to a stop. A disk with a hole formed therein is slidingly received on the tether. The penholder is permanently securable to a writing surface. The penholder has a penholder surface with an upper and lower face. A disk securing slot is formed in the penholder surface. The slot is shaped and dimensioned to receive the stop therethrough and to receive the disk therethrough when the disk is oriented substantially perpendicular to the penholder surface. After the disk is passed through the slot and when it is not oriented substantially perpendicular to the penholder surface it abutts against the bottom face of the surface and cannot be passed through the slot.

An automatic teller machine (ATM) with an operable front panel and an openable service panel is securely enclosed in an enclosure. The enclosure includes a first side wall extending at least from a floor at a first side of the ATM up, over and down to the floor on the second side of the ATM. A front wall with a cut-out zone therein, is provided which moves between an inward position and an outward position. In its position the front wall is secured to the first side wall. In its outward position the front wall is spaced from the first side wall. The cut-out zone has a perimeter sized and shaped to permit access to the operable front panel of the ATM when the front wall is in its inward position. Together the first side wall and the front wall define a first enclosure. A second side wall is connected to and extends inwardly from the front wall. When the front wall is in its outward position the second side wall extends between the first side wall and the front wall to provide a second enclosure space outward of and in communication with first enclosure space. A flexible shield, movable between a retracted and protracted position, is provided. The shield in its protracted position covers the cut-out zone and in its retracted position permits the cut-out zone to encompass the teller machine front panel.

Teller machine enclosure

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.

Automatic teller machine enclosure

The secure enclosure for an automatic teller has a rear wall which moves between a forward position defining a smaller enclosure and a rearward position defining a larger enclosure. The rear wall has side and top panels which extend forward from the rear wall and which nest into the main walls of the enclosure. In the extended state, these panels provide the wall continuity that defines an extended yet continually secure enclosure. A locked door in one of the side panels provides personnel access when the enclosure is in its extended state. Yet this locked door is nested in the main walls and thus unaccessible when the enclosure is in its telescoped or nested state.
