US Classification:

400208

Abstract:

A statement printer of an automated teller machine includes a top plate (16) pivotally mounted on a pair of spaced side walls (12). The top plate supports a ribbon cartridge (18) thereon. The cartridge includes a pair of downward extending projections (38) which are accepted in a longitudinally extending recess (24) in the top plate. Notches (40) and the longitudinally extending projections engage a leaf spring (28) to position the cartridge thereon. The top plate further includes a pair of finger projections (30) having slots (34) for accepting wing projections (36) that extend from the sides of the cartridge. The guided relationship between the downward extending projections and wing projections on the cartridge and the longitudinal recess and the slots on the top plate enable the cartridge to be guided into position on and off the top plate which facilitates changing the cartridge in the confined space inside an automated teller machine.

US Classification:

400621

Abstract:

A statement printer in an automated teller machine includes a guide block (86) which supports a print head (110). The print head prints on paper (130) which is moved adjacent thereto as the guide block moves transversely relative to the paper. A cutter disk (76) is supported by the guide block. The cutter disk is journaled on an arm (82). The arm is connected to an actuating lever (92). The actuating lever is engageable with stops (106) near the transverse extremes of travel of the guide block. Selective engagement of the actuating lever with the stops moves the cutter disk between cutting and non-cutting positions. Cam members (108) adjacent to the stops dispose the cutter disk away from a cooperating cutter bar (74) as the cutter disk moves between the cutting and non-cutting positions.
