[0021]

As described above, the present invention provides a linear slide guide mechanism comprising at least two rail members and a slider member laid over the rail members on the floor on which the ATM body is to be mounted. At the same time, since the rack member is laid outside the ATM body in parallel with the rail member, assembly and maintenance at the time of installing the drive mechanism can be easily performed.

In the present invention, a linear slide which is standardized between the base plate and the mounting plate on which the ATM main body is mounted and the mounting plate on which the ATM main body is mounted is commercially available. Since the mounting plate is configured to be movable on the base plate with a guide mechanism interposed therebetween, there is an advantage that the structure is simple and the moving device can be easily united independently.

Further, since the rack and pinion mechanism which does not apply a vertical load by the ATM body is used as the drive mechanism for the relative movement between the base plate and the mounting plate, the movement drive mechanism can be made compact. It is useful for promoting the unitization.
