An example disclosed output hopper includes a cavity to receive media units from an output of a media processing device, the cavity to cause the media units to form a stack in a first direction; a first door pivotably movable between a closed position and an open position, the first door to retain the media units in the cavity when in the closed position; a second door movable between the closed position and the open position, the second door to retain the media units in the cavity when in the closed position; wherein the first door is configured to pivot on a first axis substantially parallel to the first direction; and the second door is configured to pivot on a second axis substantially parallel to the first direction.

The present invention is to provide a media processing apparatus for enabling a plurality of discharge sections disposed one side of the apparatus to be disposed parallel inside saved space, the media processing apparatus is provided with a plurality of discharge sections (correct card discharge section and error card discharge section) disposed on one side of an apparatus housing, and a discharge member (card reverse section) that discharges a card C to each discharge section. In such a card processing apparatus, a width dimension (length dimension in the discharge direction of the card) of a discharge stacker of the first card discharge section is wider than a width dimension of the card C, and a width dimension of a frame body of the error card discharge section is narrower than the width dimension of the card C.

The application relates to a heat exchanger and a connecting system for the heat exchanger. This subject matter includes a housing formed by a top part and a bottom part and a first connecting element and a second connecting element connected to these top and bottom parts. Specific embodiments of the subject matter are shown in which the connecting elements connect the housing top part and bottom part by a positive and/or material connection. The advantages of each embodiment over prior approaches are too numerous to include in this abstract, but will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art when reviewing the full specification.

A door system for a processing machine, including a secondary frame having a stop, a door with a leaf and a shaft mounted movable in rotation about a tilting axis on the secondary frame between a closed position where the leaf extends vertically and an open position where the leaf extends horizontally and where, in the closed position, the shaft is in the lower portion of the leaf, and where the shaft has on its periphery, a protrusion, where in the closed position, the protrusion is not pressed against said stop and where, in the open position, the protrusion is pressed against said stop.

The present invention is to provide a media processing apparatus for enabling a plurality of discharge sections disposed one side of the apparatus to be disposed parallel inside saved space, the media processing apparatus is provided with a plurality of discharge sections (correct card discharge section and error card discharge section) disposed on one side of an apparatus housing, and a discharge member (card reverse section) that discharges a card C to each discharge section. In such a card processing apparatus, a width dimension (length dimension in the discharge direction of the card) of a discharge stacker of the first card discharge section is wider than a width dimension of the card C, and a width dimension of a frame body of the error card discharge section is narrower than the width dimension of the card C.

A card holding member is provided which is able to hold a card having terminal members and is able to be inserted into a card connector. The card holding member includes a card holding frame portion facing the side surfaces of the card, and a first portion including a first connecting portion. The card holding member further includes a main body portion, and a second portion including a second connecting portion connected to the first connecting portion. The card holding member further includes a first elastic member mounted on the outer periphery of the main body portion. The card holding member further includes a second elastic member mounted between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

A card transport unit transports a card ejected one-by-one from a card housing section to a card processing section, and includes: a carriage that is moved in a carriage transport path provided between the card housing section and the card processing section; a contactless card reader that includes a contactless communication antenna making contactless communication with the card; and a support member that holds the contactless communication antenna at a position opposing the carriage transport path. The carriage includes a card transport mechanism that transports the card in a card transport direction intersecting a movement direction of the carriage, and the card transport mechanism includes a motor. The motor is arranged on an opposite side of the card, which is transported by the card transport mechanism, from the contactless communication antenna.
