Abstract:
Various embodiments herein include a pocket to receive tendered notes and to dispense notes from a terminal, such as an automated teller machine. The pocket may include a shutter, a lifter opposite the shutter, a pusher plate between and perpendicular to the shutter and lifter, and a ceiling clamp. The pocket also includes a controller causes the terminal to perform actions when dispensing notes including moving the ceiling clamp to an open position and providing an output triggering dispensing of notes into the pocket. The actions further include moving the ceiling clamp to a closed position, moving the pusher plate to bias notes present within the pocket against the ceiling clamp and raising the lifter from a lower position to an upper position thereby lifting notes present between the pusher plate and the ceiling clamp. The shutter is then opened to expose and dispense the notes.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving at least one note to dispense within a pocket formed by a shutter, a pusher plate, a ceiling clamp when lowered, and a lifter; lowering the ceiling clamp to close the pocket; moving the pusher plate from a lower position to an upper position to hold the at least one note between an upper surface of the pusher plate and a lower surface of the ceiling clamp; moving the shutter to an open position; and raising the lifter from lowered position to a raised position thereby lifting the at least one note to expose at least a portion of the at least one note to enable the at least one note to be manually removed from between the pusher plate and the ceiling clamp; and wherein:\n the lifter includes a spine along a proximal edge and a plurality of fingers extending outward perpendicularly from the proximal edge with distal ends of the fingers; and \n the pusher plate includes a plural number of voids formed therein at are equal in number and located according to the number and location of the plurality of fingers of the lifter such that the plurality of fingers fit and move within the number of voids when the pusher plate is moved between the lower and upper positions and when the lifter is raised and lowered.
