A ticket dispensing module comprising:
- an elongate ticket dispensing aperture provided within a face of the ticket dispensing module, the elongate ticket dispensing aperture being a hole in the face of the ticket dispensing module that is elongate in a plane parallel to the face when a door of the ticket dispensing module is in a closed configuration;
- and
- a housing body of the ticket dispensing module having opposed first and second faces,
- wherein the first face is provided with a projecting hook and the second face is provided with a complementary hook engagement hole,
- the first face of a first housing body being engageable with the second face of a corresponding, second housing body by relative displacement of the first and second housing bodies along a direction in a plane passing between the first and second faces,
- wherein the projecting hook and the complementary hook engagement hole are configured to prevent separation of the first and second housing bodies transverse to the direction of relative displacement when they are engaged.
A base assembly for a ticket dispensing module having a projecting hook on a housing body face of a housing body of the ticket dispensing module, the base assembly comprising:
- a first base assembly face for securing to a securing surface;
- and
- a second base assembly face provided with a hook engagement hole for receiving the projecting hook,
- the second base assembly face being engageable with the housing body face by relative displacement of the housing body and base assembly along a direction in a plane passing between the housing body face and the second base assembly face, and
- wherein the hook engagement hole is configured to prevent separation of the housing body and the base assembly transverse to the direction of relative displacement when the hook engagement hole is engaged with the projecting hook.
