Patent number: 9916712Abstract: In an apparatus for checking sheet material a plurality of sensors is arranged along a sensor path along which the sheet material is transported. The sensors each have two components, which are arranged at opposite sides of the bank note transport path. For the functioning of many sensors it is necessary that the opposing sensor components are exactly aligned to each other. So as to achieve that the alignment of the sensor components arranged opposite each other is set with high accuracy and reproducible, the relative position of the sensor components opposing each other is defined by means of docking elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT CURRENCY TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventor: August Häusler

Patent number: 8132454Abstract: Sensor components having sides facing the sheet material have one or a plurality of front elements which are detachable and replaceable with low effort. So in the case of wear of the sensor fronts, entire sensor components no longer have to be replaced but only individual front elements of the sensor component are replaced. The front elements do not contact the inner area of the housing and the sensitive measuring elements arranged therein. When the front elements are detached from the housing for maintenance, the measuring elements remain dustproof encapsulated in the housing of the sensor component. The front elements preferably have a comb structure which improves the transport of the bank notes at the transition between the sensor components.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2007Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Franz Nömmer, Michael Fiedler, Robert Klus, August Häusler

Patent number: 7699308Abstract: An apparatus for diverting sheet material, in particular bank notes (BN), includes a diverting plate (4) with a first diverting edge (7) disposed on a slant and preferably a second diverting edge (8) disposed on a slant. The sheet material is guided and transported from the rear side (6) of the diverting plate (4) around the first diverting edge (7) to the front side (5) and further around the second diverting edge (8) back to the rear side (6). If the diverting edges (7, 8) are aligned relative to the transport direction (1, 2, 3) of the sheet material e.g. in each case at a slant angle of 45°, this apparatus permits the sheet-material transport direction to be diverted by 180°, whereby the transport path is shifted parallel. Thus, a continuous bank-note stream can be diverted uninterruptedly while retaining the sheet-material orientation relative to the transport direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: August Häusler, Ralf Linck, Markus Sperl

Patent number: 7677560Abstract: An apparatus for deflecting sheet material from a first transport direction to a second transport direction while maintaining the orientation of the sheet material comprises a deflecting area (5) with a sheet-material supply zone (5a) and a sheet-material removal zone (5b), as well as at least one slider (11) with slider elements (12), which engages on the trailing edge of the sheet material to be deflected. By moving the slider from the sheet-material supply zone to the sheet-material removal zone around a rotation axis (13) the sheet material is deflected by the desired deflection angle. The sheet-material transport path preferably has two steps and the rotation axis (13) of the sliders (11) is preferably arranged in such a fashion that the slider elements (12) substantially only engage with the sheet-material transport path in the deflecting area (5) and emerge from the sheet-material transport path both upstream of the sheet-material supply zone (5a) and downstream of the sheet-material removal zone (5b).Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventor: August Häusler

Publication number: 20100012730Abstract: In an apparatus for checking paper goods, a plurality of sensors are arranged along a sensor path along which the paper goods, such as bank notes, are transported. The sensors each have two components which are arranged on opposite sides of the bank note transport path. For the operation of a large number of sensors, it is necessary for the opposite sensor components to be oriented to one another accurately. To set the orientation of the oppositely arranged sensor components with a high level of accuracy and reproducibly, the relative position of the sensor components which are opposite one another is stipulated using docking elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2007Publication date: January 21, 2010Inventor: August Häusler

Publication number: 20100000312Abstract: In bank note processing machines bank notes are conveyed by a transport system and thereby pass through a sensor path. With some sensors the bank notes guided past touch the front side of the sensor housing. Thus, the front sides wear out which may impair the transport of the bank notes. In the case of wear of the sensor fronts, no longer complete sensor components but only individual front elements of the sensor component are replaced. To the side of the sensor housing facing the bank notes there are fixed one or a plurality of front elements which are detachable and thus replaceable with low effort. The front elements do not contact the inner area of the housing and the sensitive measuring elements arranged therein. When the front elements are detached from the housing for maintenance, the measuring elements remain dustproof encapsulated in the housing of the sensor component.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2007Publication date: January 7, 2010Inventors: Franz Nömmer, Michael Fiedler, Robert Klus, August Häusler

Patent number: 7624983Abstract: A spiral slot stacker (1) has a stacker wheel (4) for accommodating sheet material (6, 7, 8), a stripper (2) for stripping off the accommodated sheet material (6, 7, 8) and a stack deposit (9) for stacking the stripped-off sheet material (6, 7, 8). The stacker (2) is movable and in a first position strips off the sheet material (6, 7, 8) from the stacker wheel (4) in such a manner that it is intermediately stacked between the stacker wheel circumference and a guideway (3). When the stripper (2) is moved to a second position, it stacks the intermediately stacked sheet material (7) on the stack deposit (9), and subsequent sheet material (6, 7, 8) is directly stacked on the stack deposit without intermediate stacking.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2005Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventor: August Häusler

Publication number: 20090230616Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing sheet-shaped documents of value, in particular bank notes, comprising a device for diverting sheet material (4) by means of at least one diverting element (1, 2) defining a diverting axis (9a, 9b) for diverting the sheet material from one transport plane to a different transport plane. Therein the diverting axis (9a, 9b) of the at least one diverting element (1, 2) is oriented obliquely to a transport direction (A, C) of the sheet material (4). In an arrangement comprising two such obliquely oriented diverting elements (1, 2) and a diverting roller (3) in between, the sheet material (4) transported along a transport path can be turned over by 180° without any interruption of transport, using up little space.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2006Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventors: August Häusler, Gerhard Schinzel-Reiner

Publication number: 20090174136Abstract: An apparatus for diverting sheet material, in particular bank notes (BN), comprises a diverting plate (4) with a first diverting edge (7) disposed on a slant and preferably a second diverting edge (8) disposed on a slant. The sheet material is guided from the rear side (6) of the diverting plate (4) around the first diverting edge (7) to the front side (5) and further around the second diverting edge (8) back to the rear side (6). If the diverting edges (7, 8) are aligned relative to the transport direction (1, 2, 3) of the sheet material e.g. in each case at a slant angle of 45°, this apparatus permits the sheet-material transport direction to be diverted by 180°, whereby the transport path is shifted parallel. Thus, a continuous bank-note stream can be diverted uninterruptedly while retaining the sheet-material orientation relative to the transport direction. By means of a gate (12) the sheet material can be guided to a downstream diverting edge (13) instead of to the second diverting edge (8).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2007Publication date: July 9, 2009Inventors: August Häusler, Ralf Linck, Markus Sperl
