Abstract
An automated banking machine ( ) includes sheet dispensing mechanisms ( ). Each sheet dispensing mechanism includes a picking member ( ). The picking member rotates, with each rotation generally causing one sheet to be picked from a stack ( ) of sheets. The picking member includes movable engaging portions supported on arcuate segments ( ). The engaging portions move radially outward to apply additional moving force to an end note bound in the stack responsive to movement of the picking member exceeding the movement of the end note. Sheets are carried in the machine by a transport ( ) including a plurality of belt flights ( ). Sheets are carried between the belt flights and projecting member portions ( ). At least one of the belt flights includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced projections ( ) on a sheet engaging surface thereof. The projections provide improved engagement with sheets moving in the transport enabling more reliable movement of sheets.
