Abstract:
Described herein are automated banking machine cassette modules and cassettes. The cassette module may include but is not limited to a divert cassette positioned for easy access and a light pipe system for detecting when sheets are entering or leaving a cassette. The cassette may include but Is not limited to a cassette with an ink staining that does not reduce the capacity of the cassette, a torsion spring assembly coupled with a push plate in a cassette, a thumper and feed wheel assembly, and a method of assembling a thumper and feed wheel assembly that provides for proper timing of the feed wheels with the thumper wheels.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a cassette module operable to hold a plurality of cassettes containing currency notes for dispensing, the cassette module further comprising an upper assembly that comprises a transport path operable to transport notes from the plurality of cassettes, and a plurality of channels between the plurality of cassettes and the transport path; an emitter located at a first end of the upper assembly to emit light that passes through the plurality of channels between the plurality of cassettes and the transport path; a detector located at a second end of the upper assembly and operable to detect light emitted from the emitter; and note sensing logic coupled with the emitter and detector that is operable to determine whether one of the plurality of channels is blocked based on whether the detector is receiving a signal from the emitter.
