Transporting apparatus for individual sheets, having two transporting paths which are aligned at an angle to one another. A diverter arrangement with a first diverter body, which can be adjusted in a translatory manner, and a second diverter body, which can be pivoted about its longitudinal axis synchronously with said first diverter body, serves for optionally guiding a single sheet along the first transporting path, deflecting the sheet into the second transporting path or deflecting it back from there into the first transporting path. For this purpose, a first diverter surface and a third diverter surface, which is aligned at an acute angle to the first diverter surface, are formed on the first diverter body. The second diverter body bears a second diverter surface.

Automatic money-receiving and -dispensing machine

System for dispensing sheet material, in particular security documents

The invention relates to a sheet-extracting device with a cassette for receiving a stack of sheets, and to a method of controlling the pressing force of the stack of sheets against the extracting device. The latter has extracting rollers (16) which are arranged on a floating shaft (34). For its part, the floating shaft (34) is centrally connected in a rationally fixed manner to a drive shaft (18) passing through it. The drive shaft (18) is mounted, by one end (20), in a frame-mounted bearing (21) and, by its other end (62), in a displaceable bearing (64). Acting on the bearing (64) is a force sensor (70, 74, 76) which is intended for determining the pressing force of the stack of sheets (12) against the extracting rollers (16). The pressing force is controlled such that it always moves within a narrow middle range between a minimum and a maximum possible value.

Container for receiving bank notes in a bank note dispensing device

A dispensing unit for paper currency includes a box-shaped currency container (14) with a circuit that stores an identification code and with a frame-like receptacle module (12) into which the currency container (14) can be inserted, and a contact arrangement (146) of the currency container (14) can be connected by a mating contact arrangement (148) mounted on the receptacle module (12) to a polling and control circuit that controls the opening or locking of the currency container (14). In order to permit polling of the circuit in the currency container (14) during the insertion movement, the mating contact arrangement (148) is adjustable in the direction of insertion (A) of the currency container (14). An adjustable locking element (166) which is mounted on receptacle module (12) or on the currency container (14) and can be controlled by the control system, engages a catch element (196) on the other part such that in the engaged position of the locking element (166) and the catch element (196), the currency container (14) is some distance away from a draw-off and single feed mechanism (22, 26) of the receptacle module such that opening of its closure (42) is possible.

In an apparatus for receiving generally rectangular individual sheets and for storing the same in a container (14) in orderly condition, which container is arranged in a housing and has a throughput opening (34) connected with an input opening of the housing by a transport belt (18) for serially transporting the individual sheets, the throughput opening in at least the direction of one edge of the sheets is smaller than the corresponding measurement of the sheets. At the end of the transport belt (18, 24) a stacking apparatus (22) is arranged in front of the throughput opening and includes a stack support surface (30) for forming a stack of sheets, the sheets being arranged upright on the stack support surface (30) and parallel to the throughput opening (34). For inserting the sheets in the container (14) a pusher (48) is provided which is shiftable in the direction toward throughput opening. By means of this pusher the sheet stack formed on the stack support surface (30) is pushable into the throughput opening of the container (14) with accompanying bending of the sheet stack.

A control system for the pressing force created on the draw-off roller system (24) in a single-feed mechanism for sheet material (16) is described. This pressing force has an optimum value when the time required for the respective draw-off operation is the minimum amount. For a corresponding regulation, a time measurement is performed with successive draw-off operations. The times thus determined are evaluated, and if they are found to be the same, the value of the pressing force reached following regulation of a drive that produces the pressing force is retained.

Control system for a draw-off system for sheet material

In a dispensing device for sheet material that includes a draw-off device and a single feed device with at least one draw-off roll, several conveyor rolls (22) arranged side by side with some axial spacing and with mating rolls (24) that are axially offset and are radially adjustable with respect to the conveyor rolls (22), where the mating rolls (24) and at least one of the conveyor rolls (22) that can be driven in the same direction with the former are made of a hard material, a ring-shaped strip (44) made of an elastic deformable material is embedded in the peripheral surface of the conveyor roll (22) that is made of a hard material where the axial width of this ring is smaller than the axial width of the peripheral surface of the conveyor roll (22) and projects radially above the peripheral surface in the unloaded state.

Dispensing device for sheet material

A device for receiving, inspecting and storing instruments of value, comprising a lockable housing having at least one instrument receptacle (36), an inspection means for inspecting and identifying the instruments, a deposit unit (14) having a deposit pocket (18) and a return pocket (20) arranged on a wall (16) of the housing. Conveyors (28, 38) are provided for conveying instruments between the deposit unit (14) and the inspection unit and between the inspection unit and the instrument receptacle (36). The instrument receptacle (36) and a first part of the inspection unit (34) for verifying the genuineness of and identifying the instruments are arranged inside a closed vault (12). Instruments are moved between the closed vault and the deposit unit (14) by way of a two-way conveyor (28) passing through an opening (30) in the wall of the vault (12).

Device for receiving, inspecting and storing instruments of value

A security-oriented conveyor system for currency dispensers and the like comprising a pair of conveyor belts which lie in facial contact with one another to grip one or more sheets of currency between them and convey same through a downwardly inclined slot in a vault wall. Conveyor rollers are located adjacent the slot openings to prevent tampering.

Device for dispensing sheet material out of a closed receptacle

In a device for dispensing sheet material having at least one storage container for a stack of said sheet material, a withdrawal device associated with said storage container consisting of withdrawal rollers for removing sheets of said sheet material from said storage container, a plurality of spaced transporting rollers for conveying removed sheets along a path, spaced contra-rotating rollers which can be adjusted between said transporting rollers to obtain optimum detention of duplicate sheets thereby preventing the simultaneous passage of a plurality of sheets along said path and a dispensing station arranged at the end of the conveying path, the improvement comprising said contra-rotating rollers being formed of an inherently stable material, at least some of the transporting rollers being formed of an elastically yielding material preferably having a cellular or porous surface for good adhesion to said sheets, and at least some of the transporting rollers being formed of an inherently stable unyielding material to prevent a stack of said sheets from compressing said elastically yielding material and passing between said contra-rotating rollers and said elastic transporting rollers.

Method and arrangement for dispensing sheet material

A dispenser for bank notes and currency having a plurality of storage receptacles for bank notes and currencies of different denominations, each with a permanently assigned take-up device. A central conveyor line common to all of the storage receptacles leads to a delivery or filing position. The central conveyor line and the take-up devices are arranged between partly open limits of the storage receptacle and the central conveyor line includes driven guides for the certificates.
