  • Modular transport system for an automatic teller machine
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Bellcrank assembly for moving an ATM module
    Patent number: 5299511
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for moving an ATM housed in a structure from a retracted position to an extended position. The apparatus includes a base and a mechanism coupled to the ATM module for guiding movement of the ATM module relative to the base. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for selectively moving the ATM module relative the base between the retracted position and the extended position. The moving mechanism includes a bellcrank rotatably coupled to the ATM and interference blocks attached to the base.
