Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A transaction processing enclosure for housing electronic data processing equipment, banking payout and receiving apparatus, documentation and the like, that comprises a housing; at least one access means in said housing to the interior of said enclosure; closure means having outer surface conformance in size and shape, and registrable, with said access means to effect the opening and closing thereof, said housing and closure means comprising a laminate of integrally bonded components including at least two electrically conductive plies; at least one structural element and at least one radiant heat reflective ply; said at least one structural element and said at least one radiant reflective ply being incorporated in or separated from said electrically conductive plies; each of said electrically conductive plies and said radiant heat-reflective ply where present independently and said structural element being isolated from each other by an electrically insulating, fibrous, refractory, ceramic ply attached thereto by means of an adhesive ply.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
155 words
A transaction processing enclosure for housing electronic data processing equipment, banking payout and receiving apparatus, documentation and the like, that comprises a housing; at least one access means in said housing to the interior of said enclosure; closure means having outer surface conformance in size and shape, and registrable, with said access means to effect the opening and closing thereof, said housing and closure means comprising a laminate of integrally bonded components including at least two electrically conductive plies; at least one structural element and at least one radiant heat reflective ply; said at least one structural element and said at least one radiant reflective ply being incorporated in or separated from said electrically conductive plies; each of said electrically conductive plies and said radiant heat-reflective ply where present independently and said structural element being isolated from each other by an electrically insulating, fibrous, refractory, ceramic ply attached thereto by means of an adhesive ply.
