Adaptability of cashpoints for the disabled

There are four options proposed that enable frontal approach by people inwheelchairs according to the form of the cashpoint machine.

(Source: SIRIUS)The cases specified are determined by whether it is possible to place the kneesor part of the legs below the work surface (corresponding to the upperfigures), if they enable feet to be placed there (maximum 10 cm) or not ifthere is space (lower figures):• Option 1: Enables perfect front approach to the automatic cashpointmachines, which have a scope of 0.7 m height and 0.35 m depth.• Option 2: The scope is of 0.7 m height and 0.25 m depth.• Option 3: The most restrictive in terms of the depth of the margin, sincethere is no possibility of placing the legs. In this option, which enables thefeet to be accommodated, the scope is 1 m height and 0.1 m depth.• Option 4: The elements of the automatic cashpoint machine must be placedat the front in a margin of 1 m height. It is the most restrictive case of all.30 ADAPTABILITY OF CASHPOINTS FOR THE DISABLED
