Patent number: 10294050Abstract: A stack of media items are urged along a transport path that includes a bend in the track of the transport path. A first phase of separating the media items from the stack includes pre-separating the media items from the stack as the media items are urged along the bend. A second phase includes separating a leading media item from the stack by urging the leading media item exiting the first phase between opposing rollers to transport the leading media item along the transport path within a value media depository.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Christopher H. Pond, Jason M. Gillier, Matthew Sonnenberg

Patent number: 9082246Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transporting items of media along a transport path. The apparatus comprises a first transport member having a first end region and a further transport member having a further end region, wherein the first end region is spaced apart from the further end region, and a bridge member extending between the first end region and the further end region, wherein a length of the bridge member is adjustable responsive to a one of the first and further end regions being moved with respect to a remainder one of the first and further end regions.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2013Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: NCR CorporationInventors: Anthony Boon, Matthew Sonnenberg, Frank Dunn, Fredrik L. N. Kallin

Patent number: 9016683Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transporting media items along a transport path. The apparatus comprises a first transport member and a further transport member that selectively apply an urging force to at least one media item to urge said media item along a transport path, wherein in a first mode of operation, the urging force is applied to said media item to transport said media item at least partially along the transport path and, in a further mode of operation, the urging force on said media item is released to allow at least one end region of the media item to move freely along the transport path.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: NCR CorporationInventor: Matthew Sonnenberg
