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 11):
A terminal comprising:\n a shutter forming an upper surface of a pocket that exposes an inside of the pocket outwardly from the terminal when the pocket it opened; a lifter opposite the shutter and forming a lower surface of the pocket; a pusher plate between and perpendicular to the shutter and lifter forming a first perpendicular surface of the pocket; a ceiling clamp, when in a closed position opposite the pusher plate between and perpendicular to the shutter and lifter forming a second perpendicular surface of the pocket and when in an open position exposing an inside of the pocket internally to the terminal to a note dispensing and picking mechanism that inserts and removes notes from the pocket; a controller to control operation of the pocket, the controller when dispensing notes operable cause the terminal to perform actions comprising. moving the ceiling clamp to the open position; providing an output indicating the pocket is in the open position such that the note dispensing and picking mechanism can then dispense notes into the pocket; moving the ceiling clamp to the closed position; moving the pusher plate forward to secure notes present within the pocket with a force biased against the ceiling clamp; raising the lifter from a lower position to an upper position thereby lifting notes present between the pusher plate and the ceiling clamp; and opening the shutter; and wherein\n the lifter includes a spine along a proximal edge and a plurality of fin mere 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 that 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 portions and when the lifter is raised and lowered.
