Abstract
An automated-transaction machine includes a fascia gate mechanism for presenting and accepting notes of value. The fascia gate mechanism maintains structural integrity of the automated-transaction machine before a transaction, during a transaction, and after a transaction has taken place. The fascia gate mechanism comprises a separable gear drive for the opening and closing of the fascia gate.
Claims18
An automated-transaction machine, comprising:
- a fascia gate mechanism that is configured to open and close a sheet opening for dispensing and accepting sheets, comprising:
- a gate capture,
- a fascia gate,
- at least one glide support,
- at least one gate arm link,
- a separable gear drive mechanism, comprising:
- a gate drive shaft,
- at least one gate shaft arm,
- a fascia gate fixed gear,
- a spring-loaded cam;
- a power source;
- wherein the gate capture comprises the sheet opening;
- wherein the fascia gate is operatively connected to the at least one glide support, the at least one glide support comprising a trough in slideable engagement with the gate capture for allowing vertical slideable movement of the fascia gate with respect to the gate capture and restricting rotational movement of the fascia gate;
- wherein the at least one glide support is operatively connected to the at least one gate arm link;
- wherein the at least one gate arm link is operatively connected to the at least one gate shaft arm, the at least one gate shaft arm is operatively connected to at least a first end of the gate drive shaft and the fascia gate fixed gear;
- wherein the fascia gate fixed gear is operatively connected to the cam, the cam further operatively connected to the biasing mechanism;
- wherein as the fascia gate fixed gear rotates, the gate drive shaft, the at least one gate shaft arm, and the at least one gate link arm rotate and cause the fascia gate to move in a vertical direction;
- and
- wherein the power source causes the fascia gate fixed gear to rotate in response to a user input.

An automated-transaction machine, comprising:
- a fascia gate mechanism, comprising:
- a gate capture,
- a fascia gate,
- a pair of glide supports,
- a pair of gate arm links,
- a separable gear drive, comprising:
- a gate drive shaft,
- a pair of gate shaft arms,
- a fascia gate fixed gear,
- a spring-loaded cam including a magnet,
- a power source;
- a sensor;
- wherein the gate capture comprises the sheet opening;
- wherein the fascia gate is operatively connected to the pair of glide supports, the pair of glide supports comprising a trough in slideable engagement with the gate capture for allowing vertical slideable movement of the fascia gate with respect to the gate capture and restricting rotational movement of the fascia gate;
- wherein the pair of glide supports are operatively connected to the pair of gate arm links;
- wherein the pair of gate arm links are operatively connected to the pair of gate shaft arms, the pair of gate shaft arms are operatively connected to both ends of the gate drive shaft and the fascia gate fixed gear;
- wherein the fascia gate fixed gear is operatively connected to the spring-loaded cam, the spring-loaded gear further operatively connected to a bracket via the spring;
- and
- wherein as the fascia gate fixed gear rotates, the gate drive shaft, the pair of gate shaft arms, and the pair of gate link arms rotate and cause the fascia gate to move in a vertical direction;
- and
- wherein the power source causes the gear to rotate in response to a user input.
