Patent number: 7284693Abstract: An ATM can accept checks and dispense cash to users. An inkiet printhead can print indicia on accepted checks. An ink catcher is positioned on a side of a check path opposite to the printhead. The ink catcher includes a body portion, a projecting portion, and a head portion. The body portion has an ink holding interior area. The Projecting portion has an opening that is in fluid communication with the interior area. The head portion includes an opening, a wiper, and is rotatable relative to the projecting portion. The rotation enables the head portion opening to be aligned with the projecting portion opening. In this position, the aligned openings enable ink expelled from the printhead which does not strike a check to be captured in the interior area. Other head portion rotation enables the wiper member to clean the inkjet nozzles.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2006Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Thomas A. VanKirk, Jon E. Washington, Brian Jones, William D. Beskitt, Harry Thomas Graef, David A. Peters, Damon J. Blackford, Dale H. Blackson, Edward L.

Patent number: 7261237Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a mechanism for accepting deposited items. Deposited items may be provided to the machine in envelopes which are first passed to a user from an envelope storage area (132) in the machine through a transport (124) and which are presented to the user through an opening (244). An envelope storage and dispensing device (134) is operative to assure that only a single envelope is delivered to the user. A user may thereafter include deposit items in the dispensed envelope. The deposited items are passed through the opening (244) and are deposited in a deposit-holding container (128). The deposited items may be marked with indicia corresponding to the transaction or properties of the deposited item where the envelope originally dispensed to the user for holding the deposited item.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2004Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Sean Haney, Jeffery M. Enright, Jeffrey Eastman, Franklin M. Theriault, R. Matthew Dunlap, William D. Beskitt, Colin Fitzpatrick, Edward L. Laskowski, Mike Ryan, Bill Lavelle, David Schultz, Matthew Force

Patent number: 7255266Abstract: An automated banking machine system and method includes ATMs which accept checks and dispense cash to users. The ATMs are operated to acquire image and magnetic data from deposited checks to determine the genuineness of checks and the authority of a user to receive cash for such checks. Cash may be dispensed to the user from the ATM in exchange for the deposited check. The ATMs dispense cash responsive to communications with a transaction host.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2006Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Thomas A. VanKirk, Jon E. Washington, Brian Jones, William D. Beskitt, Harry Thomas Graef, David A. Peters, Damon J. Blackford, Dale H. Blackson, Edward L.

Patent number: 7103958Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a mechanism for accepting deposited items. The automated banking machine includes a shaft and a roller mounted on the shaft. The roller includes a body having a cylindrical opening therethrough. One or more radially inward, axially outward extending deformable fingers adjacent a first end of the opening are adapted to engage an annular recess on the shaft. An annular flat surface adjacent the second end of the opening is adapted to abut a radially outward extending annular step surface on the shaft. The deformable fingers and the flat surface cooperate with the annular recess and the step surface, respectively, to axially position the roller on the shaft. A continuous belt member may be in operative engagement with the roller. A method includes extending the shaft into the cylindrical opening, and moving the shaft relative to the cylindrical opening to engage at least one deformable finger in the annular recess.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2004Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Diebold Self-Service Systems division of Diebold IncorporatedInventors: William D.

Patent number: 7090122Abstract: An automated banking machine system and method includes ATMs which accept checks and dispense cash to users. The ATMs are operated to acquire image and magnetic data from deposited checks to determine the authority of a user to receive cash for such checks. The authority of the user is determined based on the user being associated in a data store with the maker of the check. The check cannot exceed certain programmed thresholds or be presented earlier than the expiration of a delay period from when a prior check from the same maker is presented. In exchange for acceptable checks cash is dispensed to the user from the ATM in exchange for the deposited check.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Wayne Warren, Victor Bell, William McCarthy, Matthew Pahl, Martin J.
