  • Publication number: 20070151827
    Abstract: A cash recycling system is presented which has a cash receiving unit, the cash receiving unit has a cash input module, a cash processor, a cash output module, and a cash dispensing unit. The cash dispensing unit has a cash input module, a cash processor, and a cash output module. The cash input module of the cash receiving unit and the cash output module of the cash dispensing unit are accessible to a first type of user. The cash dispensing unit and the cash receiving unit are physically separate from and operative independently of each other. The cash output module of the cash receiving unit is adapted to supply cash, as processed by the cash processor, in a form which is sorted in denomination and therefore directly suitable for loading into the cash input module of the cash dispensing unit.

  • Publication number: 20070010186
    Abstract: A coin handling apparatus (1) has a plurality of coin separating stations (113, 114) and a coin sensor (112) positioned along a circular transport path (111) defining a coin transport direction. Each coin separating station comprises a controllable member (115, 116) for separating coins (c9) individually off said circular transport path in response to at least one coin characteristic detected by said coin sensor. The coin separating stations include at least one station (113, 114) assigned for separation of valid coins, as indicated by said at least one coin characteristic. A deflector (119) is located at said circular transport path (111) and is adapted to deflect any non-separated valid coins (c11), that have passed all of said at least one station (113, 114) assigned for separation of valid coins without actually having been separated off said circular transport path, to an exterior end position (30) which is accessible to a user of said coin handling apparatus (1).

  • Patent number: 5586599
    Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger of the type which is constructed from a number of heat exchanger elements (1) consisting of a tubular jacket (2) with thermal transfer tubes (3) lying within the jacket. The heat exchanger elements (1) are joined together to form a heat exchanger, in that each end of a heat exchanger element is provided with a modular unit (4) which constitutes the frame of the heat exchanger. A jacket connection (5) is connected to each two modular units (4) and constitutes an extension of the tubular jacket (2). The jacket connection (5) is designed as an H pipe.

  • Patent number: 5318818
    Abstract: Strips of material for manufacture of packaging containers are sometimes provided with aids to opening in the form of pull tabs (3), which extend transversely across the strip of material (1) When the tab (3) is folded round one longitudinal side of the strip (1) damage to the projecting tab parts is prevented by the fact that the fold is made round a part of the rear edge (4) which is provided with a cut-out (7) in the form of an arc of a circle. This is particularly important when the strip is formed into a roll, since the tab parts which project outside the end surface of the roll can easily be damaged during handling of the roll.

  • Patent number: 5049336
    Abstract: A method of attaching a gripping device to a packaging laminate involves forming a recess in a packaging laminate that extends only a part of the way through the thickness of the packaging laminate. Molten plastic material is injected into the recess to cause the molten plastic material to become partly united with plastic layers that cover the central carrier layer of the laminate, thereby forming an anchorage device in the laminate. The gripping device can be attached to the anchorage device after the injection molding process or simultaneously during the injection molding process.

  • Patent number: 4790123
    Abstract: A method and machine for the manufacture of packing containers of the type where a number of packing container blanks are successively converted to packing containers, open at the top, which are filled with contents, shaped and sealed. The packing container blanks are advanced intermittently during the processing and filling between the different stations, which means especially in packing machines with several conveying elements, that the driving unit of the machine will be unevenly loaded and that the working of the machine will be uneven and jerky. To overcome this it is proposed in accordance with the invention, that the driving of the different conveying elements sould take place asynchronously in accordance with a similar but mutually offset pattern of movement.
