Abstract: A system controlled responsive to data bearing records includes a card reader that is operative to read card data from user cards including identifying data, and authorizes operation of an automated banking machine responsive to the identifying data. The banking machine includes a processor case rotatably mounted on the machine housing. The processor case may house and support various circuit cards and processor related components. A movable mounting tray supported on the chest housing may be operative to support various banking machine components which may include a display, the card reader, a receipt printer, and input keys. When the banking machine is in an operable condition, the processor case and the mounting tray may be housed in an interior area defined by a top housing. To access and service the banking machine components, the movable tray may be extended outwardly from a front opening in the top housing and the processor case may be rotated from an operational position to a service position.

Abstract: An ATM (10) includes a housing (46) including a generally L-shaped chest portion (48) and an upper housing portion (54). The ATM includes a fascia (12) which extends on the outside of a wall (14) and includes a user interface (15). Responsive to inputs of a user through the user interface the machine is operative to accept a stack of sheets (84) which are evaluated through operation of a sheet validator device (88) and which enables acceptable sheets to be stored within the chest portion. Unacceptable sheets are routed to a storage area (100). Provisions are made for reducing the risk of attack on the ATM by criminals and to facilitate servicing by authorized personnel.

Abstract: A storage system comprises a base unit, one or more self supports, a drawer assembly, and one or sore stops. The base unit includes a pair of opposing sidewalls. The one or more shelf supports are adapted to be removably carried by the opposing sidewalls to define one or more storage locations. The drawer assembly includes a base shelf and a drawer slidably carried by the base shelf. The base shelf is configured to be removably supported on the shelf supports within the one or more storage locations. The one or more stops are adapted to be removably carried by the opposing sidewalls opposite the base shelf from the shelf supports. Thus, the stops retain the base shelf in engagement with the shelf supports even when the drawer is loaded and pulled partially out of the base unit during use.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) accepts deposit items such as currency, checks, gift certificates or other items of value. Deposited items after being accepted in the machine and processed are moved to the container (260). The container includes an interior area (268) which is bounded by a shaker member (282) on which deposit items are supported. The machine is operative to control operation of an actuator (290) which moves the shaker member to impart shaking motion to deposited items (278) to facilitate the compact storage thereof within the container. The container is enabled to be removed from the machine to facilitate removal of the deposited items. Movement of the container out of and away from the machine is facilitated by rollable supports (296) and a retractable handle (298).

Multicolor light emitting devices (17, 31, 41, 43) are adjacent to and associated with a respective location where a user interacts with a particular transaction function device of the machine. One or more machine controllers (64) are selective to control the output color and duration of each light emitting device responsive to programming associated with the controller and an operative condition of the associated transaction function device.

Abstract: An ATM apparatus having a bulk sheet acceptor. The sheet acceptor is mounted in movable relation relative to a chest portion of the ATM. Access to an interior of the sheet acceptor for servicing may be made through an access opening. A service cover may be mounted at alternate mounting sites of the sheet acceptor housing in order to close the access opening. The interior of the sheet acceptor may be accessed by pivoting the cover on a set of tabs engaged in corresponding slots, or by selectively lifting the cover away from the tabs. The cover may be replaced by engagement of either a first set of tabs with corresponding first slots, or a second set of tabs with corresponding second slots.

Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a top housing supported on the housing of a chest. A rearwardly extending projection of an upper fascia selectively overlays a forward region of the top housing adjacent the front opening. A lower fascia is selectively movable between a covering position where the lower fascia covers the front of the chest, and an accessible position where the front of the chest is accessible. The lower fascia includes first and second side extensions. When the lower fascia is in the covering position, the side extensions overlay forward side portions of the chest housing. The lower fascia may be adapted to engage the open chest door during servicing operations. The automated banking machine may include a rollout tray supporting upper banking machine components, a rotatable processor case, and/or a slidable top housing cover to permit access to banking components for installation or servicing.

Abstract: An automated banking machine includes a processor case rotatably mounted in supporting connection with a chest. The processor case houses and supports various components including at least one processor.

Abstract: A cash dispensing automated banking machine, such as an ATM, has leveling legs. The legs are also used to fasten the ATM to a shipping pallet. Each leg has a support foot and an opposite free end. The free end is inserted through an opening in an intermediate shipping plate. With the shipping plate situated between the foot and the ATM underside, the free end is screwed into an underside opening. The leg is rotated until the plate is raised to be secure against the underside. The plate is then set on the pallet and fastened thereto by lag screws. The pallet includes horizontally adjustable stabilizing feet at sides thereof. The pallet feet can be extended outward to decrease the ability of a supported ATM to tip over. When not needed, such as during pallet storage, the feet can be retracted inward to reduce pallet size.

Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) includes a cash dispenser (220). A machine user interface (15) includes a card reader (16), receipt printer opening (30), and cash dispensing opening (38). A cash acceptor mechanism (80) includes a chute (82) which enables a user to input a stack of currency notes (84) into the machine through a deposit opening (40). Notes are separated from an inputted stack via a note picker device (158, 352) and a note stripper device (64, 162, 354). Upon sensing multiple notes have been picked, picker device movement is reversed to function with the stripper device in returning notes toward the stack. The stripper device is driven to move a note engaged therewith at a faster rate or for a longer time period relative to a note engaged with the picker device to reorient returning notes to facilitate a subsequent note separation attempt.
