A mechanism for feeding a credit card to a card reader located in a machine (like a cash dispensing machine) and for returning the card to a user after a routine use of the machine, or alternatively, capturing the card internally in the machine when, for example, the card is a "hot" or stolen card. A guide member having a slot therein is pivotally mounted in the machine and is used in cooperation with generally opposing pairs of drive rollers to bow or bend the card slightly as it is fed to the card reader. When a card is to be captured, the guide member is rotated to a position which prevents the card from passing through the slot in the guide member and out of the machine, and causes the card to deflect over the guide member and thereafter drop into a collection box within the machine. The "hot" card is retained in the machine until the machine is serviced by the bank staff. |
