Output hopper for media processing device with spill prevention

The granted patent (Publication Number: US11884501B2) describes an output hopper for a media processing device. The output hopper includes a concave bottom surface, a ceiling, a rear surface, first and second side surfaces, and a first door with a cutout. These components define a cavity designed to receive rectangular cards and stack them in a specific direction. The first door can pivot between open and closed positions on an axis parallel to the stacking direction. When closed, the door retains the cards in a stack, allowing excess cards to spill over the cutout.

Furthermore, the output hopper's design ensures that the cards align neatly in the stack, with a recess in the bottom surface providing space for the bottommost card. The first door's retaining portion engages the cards' minor edge when closed, enhancing stack stability. The axis of rotation for the door intersects a plane defined by the card's surface, optimizing the stacking process. Overall, this output hopper design streamlines the card stacking process in a media processing device, ensuring efficient and organized output handling.
