Abstract
The device for the processing of bank notes has a modular design. It has at least one inlet ( ) and at least one outlet ( ). The device contains a fixed part ( ) and interchangeable mobile modules ( ) each for performing a complete processing function upon the bank note-like objects to be processed. The modules ( ) arc insertable into the fixed part ( ) in such a manner, that a desired work sequence for processing the bank notes is performable. To such an extent as is possible, electric lines, components and motors ( ) are mounted on the fixed part ( ); the forces and/or torques required by the modules ( ) are transmitted to the modules by means of transmission ( ). The modules ( ) are pluggable into pins ( , . . . ) attached to the fixed part ( ), so that they are easily insertable, removable or interchangeable. The modules ( ) are selectable from a set of different modules and are combinable in almost any possible manner, so that with this a multitude of freely selectable processing sequences is implementable.
