Abstract: A pinch roller is be retrofitted to existing automatic teller machines (ATMs) to eliminate misfeeding of deposit envelopes. The pinch roller is secured between the frame members for the conveyor belts which serve to transport the envelopes. The pinch roller mechanism can be adapted to the ATMs without the necessity of drilling new holes into the frame members since an existing hole (previously unused) and a bolt are used for securing the pinch roller mechanism. Specifically, the pinch roller is located between the frame members above the foam-like drive roller for the conveyor belt. A pinch roller axle, in the form of a hex-head bolt having its other end provided with internal screw threads, passes through an aperture already existing in one of the frame members and is secured to an exposed bolt, securing a motor housing to the frame members. Also, the pinch roller is chamfered on its ends to facilitate ease of insertion between the frame members.
Abstract: A keyboard label display replacement system formed of paper strips which are placed on conventional keys arranged in a row and column matrix. Plastic caps cover the keys, and the strips of pre-folded paper are laid on top of the columns of keys to conform to the location and shape of the keys allowing replacement of the key labels to be easily achieved.
