  • Patent number: 5435542
    Abstract: A statement presenter for an automated teller machine includes a pair of upper belts (30) and a pair of lower belts (32). A paper stop (28) is mounted on a frame assembly (40). Cooperating arm members (42, 52) are operable to move the upper belts downwardly as the paper stop is moved upwardly and vice versa. In operation, the upper belts are moved upwardly while said paper stop is moved downwardly and a stack of papers (12) is accumulated. After accumulation of the stack, the paper stop is moved upwardly as the upper belt moves downwardly to engage the stack. Thereafter, the stack is moved outward to an exit slot (32) where the stack may be taken by a customer. If the customer fails to take the stack the direction of the belts is reversed until the stack engages a diverter plate (36) and passes into a storage bin (39) wherein the stack is held within the automated teller machine.
