Publication number: 20070267806Abstract: An ATM includes a currency note dispenser having a currency cassette, a note picker, a note transporter, and a note presenter. A cassette tambour door automatically opens during insertion of the cassette into the dispenser. The picker can pick notes through the opening. A spring loaded housing wall tab retains the picker shaft in mating connection with a drive pin. The transporter can move notes vertically and horizontally. The transporter includes belts between an idle shaft and a drive shaft. The idle shaft is vertically movable relative to a drive shaft to maintain belt tension. The transporter also includes convexly tapered rollers that automatically recenter a loose belt. A presenter gate is at a note dispensing outlet of the ATM. The gate is opened by actuating a lever linked with an arm connected to the gate. The gate opens by moving a pin upward in an angled slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2007Publication date: November 22, 2007Applicant: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: H.

Publication number: 20050263585Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes a cash dispenser (54). Servicing the machine is facilitated through use of a portable diagnostic article (98) which enables the controller to access diagnostic data stored in memory and which provides data indicative of the significance of the diagnostic data. A portable article of computer readable and writable media (314) is also operative to cause the computer to gather data concerning the banking machine and record it on the media through a drive (312). The data gathered is then analyzed by a separate analysis computer (324).Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2005Publication date: December 1, 2005Applicant: Diebold Self-Service Systems Division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Mark Schlabach, James Meek, Damon Blackford, Robert Barnett, Joseph Newman, Paul Mercina, Steven Shepley, Glenda Griswold, Christyan Moauro, Nick Billett
