Abstract:
1. A check processing module (CPM) for a self-service check depositing terminal, the CPM comprising: a substantially U-shaped plastic guide including (i) first and second leg portions forming the substantially U-shape, (ii) a surface which forms an opening in the first leg portion, (ii) a pair of flange extensions which are disposed on the second leg portion, and (iii) a releasing member which is disposed substantially between the pair of flange extensions on the second leg portion; and a shaft assembly including (i) a plastic shaft having opposite end portions and a central portion between the opposite end portions, (ii) a number of drive rollers disposed on the central portion, (iii) a first plastic race bearing attached to one end portion of the plastic shaft and disposed in the opening of the plastic guide, and (iv) a second plastic race bearing attached to the other end portion of the plastic shaft and secured by the releasing member to the plastic guide, wherein the second plastic race bearing has an outer circumferential surface in which an outer circumferential groove is formed to provide a clearance for the pair of flange extensions of the plastic guide to project into and thereby to prevent at least some movement of the shaft assembly relative to the plastic guide when the second plastic race bearing is secured to the plastic guide; the releasing member being operable to secure the shaft assembly to the plastic guide during operation of the CPM, and being operable to release the shaft assembly from the plastic guide during disassembly of parts of the CPM.
