  • Patent number: 7048180
    Abstract: A customer access module is provided for a media dispenser. The customer access module includes an accumulation box or receptacle used to accumulate media in the customer access module. The accumulation box or receptacle is rotatably installed to rotate through 360 degrees and includes first and second accumulation surfaces as well as an accumulation space. The accumulation space is in communication with the outside through an opening. The second accumulation surface has a width w smaller than a width of the media and is disposed adjacent to an edge of one side of the opening. The accumulation box or receptacle is rotated about an axis passing through centers of both side ends thereof and receives a driving force from a motor through a driving belt. A collector box or receptacle is installed below the accumulation box so as to collect the media that have not been taken by a customer.

  • Publication number: 20040041330
    Abstract: Disclosed is a media pickup device of a media dispenser which can use various kinds of media having different thickness by varying an overlap amount between a feeding roller and a separating roller. To this end, the device comprises: a feeding roller and a separating roller arranged with a predetermined interval for separating media discharged from a media cassette sheet by sheet and feeding; and a variable means for varying an overlap amount between the feeding roller and the separating roller according to thickness of media.

  • Patent number: 6592118
    Abstract: A media cassette for an automatic dispenser which can be used easily and solve problems of incorrect operations when a push plate is locked since if the automatic dispenser receives the cassette having a locked push plate, locking is automatically released. The media cassette for an automatic dispenser includes a cassette body having a certain interior space in which media is received, a push plate installed slidably in the cassette body for supporting media, an elastic member positioned between the push plate and the cassette body for urging the push plate, guide members installed between the both sides surfaces of the push plate and the inner sides of the cassette body for guiding the push plate to perform linear movement and a locking mechanism installed between the push plate and the cassette body for locking the push plate and releasing the locking of the push plate in case the media cassette is received in the automatic dispenser.

  • Patent number: 5718426
    Abstract: An improved sheet feeding apparatus and a method thereof, which includes a driving unit for driving corresponding elements; a sheet feeding unit for feeding a sheet by the driving unit; a sheet withdrawing detection unit for detecting as to whether or not a sheet is withdrawn; a sheet feeding direction converting unit for converting a feeding-back direction of the sheet; a sheet feeding-back completion detecting unit for detecting the completion of feeding-back sheet; and a sheet storing unit for storing a sheet into a sheet storing box, and further includes the steps of a first step which judges as to whether or not a sheet is fed back; a second step which converts a sheet feeding direction; a third step which feeds back the sheet; a fourth step which judges as to whether or not a sheet feeding-back is completed; and a fifth step which stores a sheet into a sheet storing box, thus advantageously preventing jamming and skewing of a sheet in operation.
