  • Publication number: 20040153377
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a system for providing information to an occupant of a target vehicle positioned behind another vehicle in a queue of at least a first vehicle and a second vehicle is provided. The system includes a display positioned adjacent the target zone such that the display is visible to the second vehicle occupant when the second vehicle is in the target zone and a content provider coupled to the display. The content provider is configured to transmit information to the display and displaying the information on the display. The system further includes a transaction station for providing a drive-thru service to an occupant of the first vehicle. The target zone is spaced upstream of the transaction station relative to the direction of forward movement a distance corresponding to the sum of a length of a portion of the first vehicle and an approximated common spacing between the first vehicle and the second vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5794547
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for moving an ATM relative to a wall between a retracted position and an extended position. The apparatus includes a base, a gear, and a motor coupled to the base for rotating the gear relative to the base. The apparatus also includes a mechanism coupled to the ATM for engaging the gear to move the ATM between its retracted position and its extended position, and a bearing positioned between the base and the ATM to facilitate movement of the ATM relative to the base. The apparatus also includes a foldable floor panel coupled to the ATM. The foldable floor panel is configured to move from an unfolded, generally planar orientation when the ATM is in its extended position to a folded, generally upright position when the ATM is in its retracted position.
