Patent number: 11655116Abstract: An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path including at least one transport element, at least one first drive unit, first and second rotatably mounted deflecting elements, and a second drive unit. The transport element includes an endless drive belt. The first drive unit drives the transport element in a first direction of rotation which moves the note of value along the transport path in a transport direction. The transport element is deflected over the deflecting elements. The second drive unit displaces at least one of the first and second deflecting elements along its axis of rotation so that by displacing the one of the first and second deflecting elements the note of value contacting the at least one transport element is moved obliquely to the transport direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Diebold Nixdorf Systems GmbHInventors: Dirk Langhuber, Thomas Kemmerling, Michael Schild, Ludger Hoischen, Paul Freitag

Patent number: 11084677Abstract: An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path has at least one transport element and at least one first drive unit for driving the transport element. The driven transport element moves the note of value along the transport path in a transport direction. The transport element includes an endless drive belt, which is deflected over at least two rotatably mounted deflecting elements and a second drive unit for displacing one of the deflecting elements along its axis of rotation. By displacing the deflecting element, the note of value contacting the belt is moved obliquely to the transport direction. A further apparatus includes at least one vane wheel by which the note of value is movable transversely to the transport direction.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Dirk Langhuber, Thomas Kemmerling, Michael Schild, Ludger Hoischen, Paul Freitag

Patent number: 10543998Abstract: An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path includes at least one transport element driven by at least one first drive unit and at least one counter-pressure element arranged opposite to the transport element. The transport path of the note of value extends between the transport element and the counter-pressure element. The counter-pressure element is ball-shaped and is mounted so as to be freely rotatable. Further, the apparatus includes a second drive unit for displacing the transport element along its axis of rotation so that a note of value arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure element is moved transversely to the transport direction during displacement of the transport element.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Dirk Langhuber, Thomas Kemmerling, Michael Schild, Ludger Hoischen, Paul Freitag

Publication number: 20060163873Abstract: A connection assembly for attaching a pipeline to a distributor of a fuel or hydraulic system includes a threaded bushing placed adjacent to the distributor and having an internal bore in alignment with a connecting bore of the distributor, wherein the threaded bushing has a sealing seat. Disposed at one end of the pipeline is a sealing head which has a sealing surface and a pressure surface. The sealing surface and the pressure surface are each configured in the shape of a spherical segment defined by a radius of curvature having a center, wherein the center of the radius of curvature of the sealing surface is distanced from the center of the radius of curvature of the pressure surface. A union nut intended for connecting the pipeline to the threaded bushing forces the sealing surface of the sealing head in a pressure-tight manner against the sealing seat of the threaded bushing by at least indirectly acting upon the pressure surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2006Publication date: July 27, 2006Applicant: Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbHInventors: Dirk Langhuber, Christian Ditter, Christoph Lempa
