Abstract: The stacking wheel has one or a plurality of first and second stacking-wheel disks which are disposed on an axle in a mutually concentric relationship and spaced apart in the axial direction. Distributed over their circumference, the stacking-wheel disks respectively have a plurality of sheet slots for receiving a sheet and are disposed in a mutually staggered relationship in a portion of the sheet slots. An azimuthal profile offset of the stacking-wheel disks has the effect that the sheet slots of the first stacking-wheel disk run ahead of or run behind the sheet slots of the second stacking-wheel disk. The sheet slots of the first and second stacking-wheel disks have at their radially inside end an azimuthal profile offset that is reduced or eliminated again up to the slot end of the sheet slots. This avoids damage to the stacked sheets.

Abstract: The sheet compartments of a stacking wheel of a stacking device, as used in sheet goods processing devices, in particular in banknote processing machines and automated money deposit and/or withdrawal machines, have a wavy contour. The braking effect on the banknotes fed into the sheet compartments is thereby increased, so that the banknotes can be fed into the sheet compartments at increased speed without being damaged.

Abstract: In a bank note processing machine bank notes 100 are led through between two components of a checking device with the help of a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is led away from the transport path and around the checking device with the help of deflection rollers. Coaxially to the deflection rollers are disposed clamping rings or clamping rollers, which grasp the sheet material and guide it through the checking device. This operation is supported by a guide plate, which combs with the clamping rings.

Abstract: A belt transport system for conveying thin sheet material, in which the sheet material is engaged by one side of a conveyor belt and one side of at least one baffle plate and conveyed in a clamped state through a clamping area. The system includes smoothing elements having smoothing surfaces disposed on the opposite side of the belt from the sheet side, the smoothing elements being disposed in such a way that bent parts or dog-ears of the sheet material protruding beyond the conveyor belt to its opposite side run into the smoothing element during transport and are thereby urged away from the clamping area of the belt.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing sheets in which the sheets are inserted between the various layers of a storage band wound onto a storage roller. The storage band, which is wound off a supply roller, is directed between the two rollers in such a way that it forms a horizontal deposit table which is freely accessible on several sides, on which the sheets may be deposited before being drawn onto the storage roller by a corresponding forward run of the band.

Abstract: A stacking device for sheet material such as banknotes and receipts has a stacker drum with a suction opening at a predetermined location on the periphery. The suction opening grips the leading edges of the sheets to be stacked at a first tangential position and releases the sheets against a stopper at a second tangential position. The stacker drum has air openings on the periphery behind the suction opening. The air openings discharge pulsating compressed air to separate the portion of the sheets trailing the leading edges from the drum.

Abstract: In a process for forming stacks of pieces of sheet material such as banknotes from an unbroken train of such sheets, the stacking of the sheets and the placing of label tapes round them takes place at one at the same position.

Abstract: The device is of the type having a stacking drum with openings in its cylindrical periphery by means of which the articles to be conveyed can be adhered by suction to the drum and accumulated in an orderly stack, with the suction air being effective only within a predetermined circumferential range of the stacking drum. The stacking drum is so arranged in the conveying system that the articles to be conveyed are fed tangentially to the drum, and the stacking drum has only a single row of openings in its circumference, with the row extending parallel to the axis of the drum. The openings may be selectively connected either to vacuum or to a source of air under pressure so that, with suction being effective in the openings, the articles are grasped by the stacking drum at the leading edge, discharged around the stacking drum and fed to the stack while, with compressed air being supplied to the openings, the articles pass by the stacking drum and move on to a following conveying system.

Abstract: The apparatus includes a table on which the documents, received from a conveyor, are stacked on edge. The table is formed with one or more elongated slots extending perpendicularly to the stack of documents, and a rotating disc is mounted beneath each slot for rotation in the general plane of the slot. Each rotating disc has secured thereto one or more flexible narrow strips to extend tangentially therefrom. Responsive to control signals, a disc is rotated so that a flexible narrow strip thereon is inserted through the associated slot to extend between two successive documents of the stack, and the strip can be withdrawn by further rotation of the disc.

Abstract: In the arrangement, a batch or stack of vertically oriented recording media sheets is supported on edge on a horizontal vibrating table which is vibrated by a vibrating conveyor and the sheets are advanced singly, starting with the leading or frontmost sheet, through a separating slot between a pair of endless belts constituting a transporting arrangement. A first rotating suction drum is mounted at the rear end of the vibrating table and is formed with circumferentially spaced suction bores for operative relation with a rotary slide valve to connect the suction bores intermittently to a suction system. A second rotating suction drum is arranged within the range of the separating slot and serves as a separating drum, and a hold-back suction drum is also arranged within the range of the separating slot and serves as a hold-back device, the hold-back suction drum having the same design as the first rotating suction drum.
