  • Patent number: 7000830
    Abstract: A secure enclosure for an automated banking machine includes a chest portion and a moveable door. The door has mounted thereon a locking bolt work mechanism which is operable to secure the door in a closed position. The bolt work mechanism includes a drive cam that is connected to an idler cam by a cam link. The drive cam is further connected to a locking bolt by a drive bolt link. The idler cam is connected to the locking bolt by an idler bolt link. Movement of the drive cam enables movement of the locking bolt between extended and retracted positions. The locking bolt can have a stepped edge configuration to provide stepped engagement in securing a door having a similar stepped edge configuration.

  • Publication number: 20050127170
    Abstract: A secure enclosure for an automated banking machine includes a safe chest portion and a moveable door. The door has mounted thereon a locking bolt work mechanism which is operable to secure the door in a closed position. The door is mounted to the chest with the use of hinge assemblies having respective hinge pins. The hinge assemblies enable the door to be selectively adjusted in up-down and right-left directions. The door can be moved in the up-down direction via an adjustable set screw operative to move vertically relative to a hinge pin. The door can be moved in the right-left direction via adjustable set screws operative to engage and pivot the hinge pin. Thus, the door can be aligned with the chest opening.

  • Patent number: 4544149
    Abstract: A note picker mechanism for picking new and circulated paper money bills from stacks thereof through access openings of sealed, tamper-indicating containers for the notes when installed in ATM's. The mechanism has a primary suction picker device and a secondary friction-engaging picker device. The friction-engaging picker is switchably engaged with or disengaged from the suction picker so that if a picking failure occurs, the picker mechanism is automatically changed from joint operation of the primary and secondary picker to operation of the primary picker alone, or vice versa, to correct the cause of the picking failure.

  • Patent number: 4450978
    Abstract: A retrieval mechanism for a divert-container-equipped ATM of typical construction to retrieve and protect paper money bills dispensed at a customer's request by the ATM and left at an accessible location at the ATM bill delivery station unpicked by the customer. The unpicked bills are sensed after a short time delay in unpicked status. The unpicked bills when sensed are automatically returned to the reversible conveyor of such typical divert-container-equipped ATM and transported by reversal of the conveyor to the divert container.

  • Patent number: 4355797
    Abstract: Picker mechanism for picking notes from a note supply stack in a note dispenser of an automatic banking or teller machine (ATM) which withdraws notes from the supply stack through an access opening in a note supply container laterally of the opening. The access opening has one dimension smaller than the length of the note being laterally withdrawn. The picker mechanism engages the note being withdrawn with a picker cup by combined frictional pressure and suction. The picker cup during note withdrawal moves in multi-directions toward and away from the note stack through the access opening as well as back and forth in directions generally parallel to the length of the note being withdrawn.

  • Patent number: 4313601
    Abstract: A remote automatic banking or teller machine equipped with doubles detecting mechanism which diverts doubles from delivery to a customer and conveys the doubles to a container into which the conveyor means discharges the doubles through a container opening having closure means which are in open position when mounted on the dispenser unit in access-preventing or anti-fishing condition and which closure means are closed and locked to provide a sealed tamper-indicating anti-fishing condition for the container after the container is removed from the dispenser unit and during transport to a central bank.

  • Patent number: 4312277
    Abstract: A remote depository for receiving bank transaction deposits in envelopes at an unmanned location under conditions of security. The depository has a belt conveyor having entry and exit ends, one of which is closed at all times. The conveyor discharges into a locked deposit receiver such as a container which may be locked when removing it from association with the conveyor. The container may be a sealed, tamper-indicating container latched to the conveyor when unlocked upon being connected with the container. The conveyor has a probe which enters the deposit receiver to sense when the receiver is filled to capacity. If the receiver is completely full, the probe disables the conveyor so that it will not accept additional deposit envelopes.
