  • Patent number: 8764011
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) and a method for handling notes of value. The device comprises a first module (14) and a second module (12). The first module (14) is movable relative to the second module (12) and/or the second module (12) is movable relative to the first module (14) in at least one direction (P1, P2, P5). In a first operating state of the device (10), notes of value can be transported between the modules (12, 14). The second module (12) comprises at least one guiding element (24, 26, 100, 106) for guiding the notes of value during the transport of the notes of value between the modules (12, 14).

  • Patent number: 8628081
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for handling notes of value, comprising a first transport path (12), a second transport path (14) and at least one third transport path (16), wherein the notes of value can be transported along each transport path (12, 14, 16). Further, the device (10) has a switch (18) via which the three transport paths (12 to 16) can be connected to each other and with the aid of which the notes of value can be derouted from one of the transport paths (12 to 16) in another one. At least one transport element (26 to 30) is assigned to each of the transport paths (12 to 16) with the aid of which the notes of value can be supplied from the switch (18) to the respective transport path (12 to 16) or vice versa from the respective transport path (12 to 16) to the switch (18).

  • Patent number: 6769825
    Abstract: A thermal printer with a printing head is described for the printing of differently thick print media, especially label course or the like, in which opposite the printing head constructed as a pressure beam there lies at least one transport roller, and the medium to be printed is led through the input gap between printing head and transport roller. So that differently thick print media, especially label courses, can be printed with little wear on the printing head, the invention provides that the pressure beam is made liftable and lowerable.

  • Patent number: 5330274
    Abstract: A printing head (106) as a first functional unit and at least one further functional unit (107) of the same kind or of a different kind are attached to a common carrier (105) and mounted by means of a carriage for displacement in each case in parallel in the direction of the print lines and are arranged so as to swivel between the individual working areas of the printing device by means of a common swivel drive. The arrangement of the individual functional units (106, 107) on the carrier (105) and the alignment of the swivel axis (104) are selected such that the functional units can be swiveled in each case in the direction of the print lines and perpendicularly to the feed direction out of and into the respective printing station (101, 102).
