Patent number: 7789296Abstract: An automated transaction machine (600) includes a note receiving storage and dispensing mechanism (624). The mechanism (624) includes a stacker mechanism (654). The stacker mechanism collects in a stack notes such as currency bills that are to be dispensed from the machine to a user, and the stack is then presented to the user from the machine. The stacker mechanism includes a stack support member (668), a flexible member (692) and spaced supports (694). Notes are engaged in supporting connection with the stack support member as the stack support member is rotated in a first rotational direction. After the stack is accumulated, rotation of the stack support member in an opposed rotational direction delivers the stack from the stacker mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Diebold, IncorporatedInventors: Sean Haney, Mark D. Smith, Nat Ramachandran, Matthew Force, H. Thomas Graef, Robert G. Miller, Mark Owens, Andrew Junkins, Elizabeth M. Herrera
