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. 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, providing a multitude of freely selectable processing sequences. A contact pressure unit may be included within a module transport unit, the contact pressure unit including at least one contact element, at least one reversibly compressible and damping element and at lest one pressure roller wherein forces are produced by the compressible and damping element and act of the pressure roller in the direction of the contact element.
