Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing card carrier unit having a cam arm and at least one flip guide for holding a card; moving the card carrier unit from a starting position along a stationary guide structure in a first direction toward a first flip stop member in an extended position and a second flip stop member in an retracted position, wherein in the extended position the first flip stop member extends toward a cam arm channel for engagement with the cam arm and in the retracted position the second flip stop member extends away from the cam arm channel for avoidance with the cam arm; exerting a reaction force on the cam arm by the first flip stop member in the extended position so that the cam arm rotates about an axis in a first direction, thereby causing the at least one flip guide to rotate; and moving the first flip stop member from the extended position to a retracted position such that the first flip stop member extends away from the cam arm channel for avoidance with the cam arm and moving the second flip stop member from the retracted position to an extended position such that the second flip stop member extends toward the cam arm channel for engagement with the cam arm.
