Abstract:
An improved transactional drawer and method for reciprocating the drawer relative to its housing and opening the customer door in a sequential multi-stage manner. The drawer assembly preferably comprises a housing, a drawer and a customer door, wherein the drawer is free to reciprocate relative to the housing by interaction of a rail and corresponding slot guide track arrangement. A low powered reversible power source selectively reciprocates the drawer relative to the housing, a cam actuator, and the interaction of a cam actuator and follower arrangement mechanically moves the customer door between pre-determined opened and closed positions in a sequential multi-stage manner in response to the reciprocation of the drawer. A seal member is located between the customer door and at least a portion of the front edge of the housing when the door is in its closed position, and one stage of the sequential multi-stage mechanical movement of the door is provided in a direction substantially only normal to the seal member to minimize stresses on the seal member during opening and closing procedures.
