  • Patent number: 10366559
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to reducing a number of jams that can occur in an automated teller machine with the employment of a moveable platen that increases a width of a channel for documents. A document analysis area can receive a document via a first transport path, wherein the document analysis area can include a channel in which the document travels to enable at least one scan component to capture an image of the document. The channel is created by one or more platen. The one or more platen can be movable to increase the width of the channel so as to allow documents to pass-through the document analysis area without causing a jam or error for the automated teller machine.

  • Patent number: 6188023
    Abstract: A cover assembly with a rectangular cover for covering an opening at a predetermined height in a receiving part formed by stamping and bending a sheet of material with the opening formed in the receiving part. The rectangular cover with a first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides, with the second pair of opposite sides have been formed to create a side wall of a given height with a tab finger. Two or more Z-shaped side walls of a predetermined height are formed around the opening of the receiving member. The Z-shaped side walls receive the first pair of opposite side of the rectangular cover. A tab opening is formed in the receiving member. The tab opening receives the tab finger of the rectangular cover. The side wall of the rectangular cover formed so that the given height of the side wall is less than the predetermined height of the two Z-shaped side walls so as to enclose a region of the opening of the receiving member with the flange of the rectangular cover therewith.
