Japanese Patent JP2947632
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A document transport apparatus (26) is provided for moving a document (22) along a bidirectional feed line from an upstream area to a downstream area in, for example, an automated teller machine. The document transport apparatus comprises first (36) and second (38) generally planar supports, with the first generally planar support (36) having a first cooperating member (40) and a second cooperating member (42) located thereon. The first and second cooperating members each have ends which have ramp portions (52,54;56,58). In addition, the first and second cooperating members each have an arcuately shaped recess (48,50) therein which faces a second support. The document (22) can be moved between the first and second supports and guided into the arcuately shaped recessed portions of the first and second cooperating members by the ramp portions (52,54;56,58). The ramp portions guide the document between the arcuately shaped recessed portions (48;50) and a drive roller (62) mounted in the second support. The drive roller, when rotated, forces or pinches the document into engagement with the arcuately shaped recessed portions, thereby causing the document to be transported through the document transport apparatus.
