Abstract
An enclosure construction for pneumatic tubes and power and control cables installed overhead for remote visual auto teller banking systems which is inexpensive and attractive and readily installed. The enclosure includes plastic half sections which are snap-engaged along laterally opposite longitudinal joints having weather seals therein. One of the plastic half sections is fixed internally to a semicircular clamping member which cooperates with a second clamping member. The clamping members are clamped to the pneumatic tube before one of the plastic enclosure members is assembled with the other.

Enclosure construction for pneumatic tubes and power and control cables installed overhead for remote visual auto teller banking systems;
- including a tubular enclosure section generally rectangular in cross section having first and second paired half-members with laterally spaced, longitudinally extending, edge formations;
- each edge formation on the first paired half-member comprising an inturned concave flange and a Z-shaped portion connected to said concave flange and spaced therefrom to form an outwardly opening groove;
- each edge formation on the second paired half-member comprising an inturned concave flange;
- the spaced second paired half-member concave flanges being snap-engaged, respectively, with the Z-shaped portions of the spaced first paired half-member to form laterally spaced joints in the enclosure section;
- a gasket in each groove engaged with the concave flanges of the first and second paired half-members along each joint;
- separable clamp members clamped to a pneumatic tube being enclosed;
- and means connecting at least one of said paired half-members with at least one of said clamp members.
