Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for a stabilizing device for stationary equipment, such as an automatic teller machine, to secure the equipment to an anchor. In one embodiment, the stabilizing device is configured to overcome a dislodging force that may be applied to the stationary equipment such that the equipment does not roll over and spill its payload. In one embodiment, the stabilizing device has a back plate and a front plate with dimensions that facilitate effectively stabilizing the stationary equipment. Additionally, the front plate includes a side wall and a base wall that correspond to the dimensions of the stationary equipment.
Claims19
A device to stabilize stationary equipment, comprising:
- a back plate being displaced on an interior of a stationary equipment;
- and
- a front plate being displaced on an exterior of the stationary equipment, the front plate comprising:
- a side wall having a plurality of securing holes dispersed across the wall, wherein the securing holes are configured to each receive at least one of a plurality of securing devices to secure the side wall to the stationary equipment;
- and
- a base wall having a plurality of anchoring holes dispersed across the wall, wherein the anchoring holes are configured to each receive at least one of a plurality of anchoring devices to anchor the base wall to an anchor.
A system, comprising:
- a stationary dispensing equipment;
- and
- at least one device disposed on at least one side of the stationary dispensing equipment, wherein the at least one device comprises:
- a back plate being displaced on an interior of the stationary dispensing equipment;
- and
- a front plate being displaced on an exterior of the stationary dispensing equipment.
A method, comprising the steps of:
- securing a side wall of a front plate of a device to an exterior portion of a stationary equipment, the side wall comprising a plurality of securing holes, each securing hole configured to receive at least one of a plurality of securing devices;
- anchoring a base wall of the front plate of the device to an anchor, the base wall comprising a plurality of anchoring holes, each anchoring hole configured to receive at least one of a plurality of anchoring devices, wherein the side wall and the anchor wall are parallelepiped bodies intersecting to form a right angle;
- and
- strengthening the device with a back plate being displaced on an interior portion of the stationary equipment.
