  • Patent number: 7322517
    Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a processor case rotatably mounted in supporting connection with a chest. The processor case houses and supports various components including at least one processor. A movable mounting tray supported on the chest housing, supports various banking machine components which may include a display, a card reader, a receipt printer, and input keys. When the automated banking machine is in an operable condition, the processor case and the mounting tray are housed in an interior area defined by a top housing. To access and service the banking machine components, the movable tray may be extended outwardly from a front opening in the top housing and the processor case may be rotated from an operational position to a service position.

  • Patent number: 6223408
    Abstract: An object, e.g. a piston or a fluid medicament, is inserted into a tubular syringe body centered on a syringe axis and having a pair of ends by an apparatus having a support movable axially forward toward and axially rearward away from the body and a tube extending along a sleeve axis generally parallel to the syringe axis, having a rear end fixed in the support and a front end fittable inside the syringe. A centering sleeve is formed centered on the sleeve axis with a generally frustoconical centering surface engageable with the rear body end surrounding the tube. This sleeve is displaceable axially on the support between a front position with the centering surface projecting axially forward past the tube front end and a rear position with the tube front end projecting axially forward past the centering surface. The support is displaced axially forward toward the body and thereby engages the centering surface coaxially with the body rear end.

  • Patent number: 5377815
    Abstract: A conveyor system has a carousel rotatable about an axis in steps and having an outer periphery along which loading, unloading, and treatment stations are spaced and a drive for rotating the carousel about the axis in steps. A plurality of fixed segments spaced along the periphery each have a straight outer edge and a plurality of movable segments spaced along the periphery are interleaved with the fixed segments and each have a straight outer edge and a pair of ends. Respective pivots secured between one of the ends of each of the movable segments and the carousel allow movement of each of the movable segments between an inner position with its outer edge nonparallel to the outer edges of adjacent fixed segments and an outer position with its outer edge parallel to the outer edge of a one of the adjacent fixed segments.
