    摘要: A sheet feeding apparatus includes a retard mechanism to prevent the inadvertent feeding of doubled or overlapped sheets. The retard mechanism includes a plurality of belts in an assembly positioned adjacent to a sheet feeding roller, and rotating in such a direction as to retard the sheets being fed. The retard assembly is mounted on the free end of a lever arm pivotally secured adjacent to its other end to the base of the sheet feeding apparatus. The lever arm with the retard assembly mounted thereon is spring-urged toward the feed roller, but may be moved slightly away from said roller to accommodate the thickness of the sheet being fed between the feed roller and the retard assembly. A dual spring arrangement contained in the lever arm permits the lever arm to move with relatively little force to accommodate passage of a single sheet, but to resist more vigorously any additional movement, such as would be required for the passage of double or overlapped sheets. A one-way retaining device permits movement of the lever arm and retard assembly toward the feed rollers as the roller and belts wear, but prevents movement away from said roller except for the limited movement permitted to accommodate sheets during feeding. The retaining device may be released to permit the lever arm and retard assembly to be swung away from the feed roller for replacement of the feed roller and retard belts when worn.

    摘要: A variable pressure document infeed transport provides a first driving pressure on a document being transported in a first direction along a document transport path of a self-service terminal, and provides a second driving pressure which is greater than the first driving pressure on a document being transported in a second direction which is opposite the first direction along the document transport path of the self-service terminal. The first driving pressure means may be provided by a first plurality of idlers centered along the document transport path, and the second driving pressure means may be provided by a second plurality of idlers off-centered along the document transport path.

    摘要: A document drive apparatus has an upstream end, a downstream end, and a document feeding line defined between the ends. The apparatus directs a document around a corner. The apparatus includes a drive drum having a central axis and rotatably mounted on a base member for rotation about its central axis. An endless drive belt is disposed on a pivot support and first and second arm members having one end thereof connected to the pivot support. The belt and the drum cooperate to define at least a portion of the feeding line defined between the upstream and downstream ends. At least one of the first and second arm members is pivotable about its end connected to the pivot support towards and away from the drum such that (i) a certain amount of the belt presses against the drive drum when the arm member is pivoted towards the drum to enable the document to be directed around the corner, and (ii) less than the certain amount of the belt presses against the drum when the arm member is pivoted away from the drum to enable a jammed document to be more easily removed from the document feeding line. The first and second arm members form an L-shape about the pivot support when the one arm is pivoted towards the drum. A snap mechanism holds an arm member in a locked position when the arm member is pivoted towards the drum. The snap mechanism is operable to allow the arm member to be pivoted about the pivot support away from the locked position to an unlocked position away from the drum.

    摘要: A moveable member which is moveable between first and second positions relative to an optical axis of an imaging camera is used to calibrate the camera. The moveable member has a first reference member positioned at the optical axis when the moveable member is in the first position, and has a second reference member positioned at the optical axis when the moveable member is in the second position. A preferred embodiment has a first calibration device for a front camera and a second calibration for a rear camera when both the front and the rear of the document are to be imaged. A single actuator is used to simultaneously move both moveable members of the first and second calibration devices between the positions mentioned.
