ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a transport system for an automatic teller machine (ATM). The transport system comprises a motor-driven mechanism and a pair of bearing assemblies. The ATM is positioned within a housing and moves between a retracted position and an extended position by the operation of the motor-driven mechanism. The ATM is supported within the housing by a frame that has a chain attached to its side. A motor connected to the housing and having a motor-driven sprocket engages the chain, thus moving the ATM relative to the housing. An idler sprocket is also provided that is used to define the chain path so that multiple teeth of the motor-driven sprocket engage the chain. Each bearing assembly comprises a channel fixed to the base of the housing. A bearing comprising a block with a plurality of slots is positioned within the interior of the channel. A plurality of rods are freely positioned within the slots and carry a rail that extends through a gap in the channel and a slot within the floor of the housing to support the frame of the ATM. When the ATM is moved between its two positions by the operation of the motor, the ATM moves relative to the housing a predetermined distance, while the bearing moves relative to both the ATM and the housing only one-half of this predetermined distance.
