Media storage device

A apparatus for receiving and storing media, the apparatus comprising:

• a bottom cover, wherein the bottom cover comprises a cassette indexing mechanism mounted on the bottom surface of the bottom cover and a media entry assembly mounted through the side wall of the bottom cover, wherein during operation the media entry assembly is aligned to receive a media;
• a pillar assembly mounted inside the bottom cover, where the pillar assembly comprises a shaft extending through the bottom surface of the bottom cover, wherein the shaft is coupled with the cassette indexing mechanism for indexing the pillar assembly in a predefined configuration during operation;
• and
• a handling plate mounted within the pillar assembly and coupled to the pillar assembly via a linear actuator assembly, wherein during operation the handling plate is configured to store the media received on the surface of the handling plate and indexed to a previous media based on the indexing of the pillar assembly, wherein the linear actuator assembly is further configured to move the handling plate during operation in a downward direction based on the number of media received.

A apparatus for delivering a stored media, the apparatus comprising:

• a bottom cover, wherein the bottom cover comprises a cassette indexing mechanism mounted on the bottom surface of the bottom cover and a media entry assembly mounted through the side wall of the bottom cover, wherein during operation a plurality of media may be delivered through the media entry assembly;
• a pillar assembly mounted inside the bottom cover, where the pillar assembly comprises a shaft extending through the bottom surface of the bottom cover, wherein the shaft is coupled with the cassette indexing mechanism for indexing the pillar assembly in a predefined configuration during operation;
• and
• a handling plate mounted within the pillar assembly and coupled to the pillar assembly via a linear actuator assembly, wherein during operation the handling plate is configured to deliver the plurality of media indexed to each other, wherein the linear actuator assembly is further configured to move the handling plate during operation in at least an upward direction based on a number of media delivered;
• and
• a media pick up assembly mounted between the side walls of the bottom cover, wherein during operation the media pickup assembly is configured to pick a media from the plurality of media for delivering.
