  • 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: 8413919
    Abstract: A roller storage system is proposed for storing sheet-like items, especially bank notes, comprising at least one film drum (3, 4) that can be driven rotatably by a motor having at least one strip-type film (7, 11), a winding drum (1) that can be driven rotatably by a motor and a hysteresis coupling (21) on the film drum (3, 4) and/or on the winding drum for transmitting torque from a motor to the film drum (3, 4) and/or the winding drum (1). The film (7, 11) is wound from the film drum (3, 4) onto the winding drum (1) for the reception of the sheet-type items (20) and wound from the winding drum (1) onto the two film drums (3, 4) for the delivery of the sheet-type items (20).

  • Patent number: 8186673
    Abstract: A roller storage system for storing sheet-type objects, in particular bank notes, is proposed, comprising a first film drum (3), which can be rotatably driven by a motor, with a first strip-shaped film (7) as a storage strip, comprising a second film drum (4), which can be rotatably driven by a motor, with a second strip-shaped film (11) as a cover strip, and comprising a winding drum (1), which can be rotatably driven by a motor. The films (7, 11), for the reception of the sheet-type objects (20), can be wound from the two film drums (3, 4) onto the winding drum (1) and, for the dispensing of the sheet-type objects (20), can be wound from the winding drum (1) onto the two film drums (3, 4). A first deviating roller (9) between the first film drum (3) and the winding drum (1) serves for the diversion of the first film (7). A second deviating roller (13) between the second film drum (4) and the winding drum (1) serves for the diversion of the second film (11).
