Abstract
A molded security cover (10) for use with a self-service terminal (SST) is provided, the cover (10) including a translucent recessed portion (14, 16) for location over the SST display screen, and an opaque portion (18) including a number of apertures (12) for location over the function display keys (FDKs) of the SST. The cover (10) is formed of polycarbonate, and includes a convex magnification portion (16) for assisting reading of on-screen text. The one-piece cover (10) is slimmer than conventional glass safety covers, and so reduces the separation between the display screen and FDKs, leading to a reduction in parallax experienced by users.
