Patent number: 10793386Abstract: A device for stacking notes of value includes at least one circulating belt arrangement including an endless belt guided over rollers serving as deflecting elements. The circumferential surface of the belt has at least one transport tongue into which at least a section of a note of value is insertable. The device includes at least one strip-off element that contacts the note for the removal from the transport tongue. The device includes a contact element which is arranged and configured such that during the transport in the transport tongue the note moves the contact element into a first position. The contact element contacts an area of the note at least after the removal of the note of value from the transport tongue up to the arrival of this note on the deposit surface or on the upper note of value of a value note stack deposited on the deposit surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Benedikt Amen, Elmar Berendes

Patent number: 10676309Abstract: A cash box has a storage area for storing several notes of value and a counterpressure unit, which delimits the storage area and is movable between first and second positions. The cash box includes a sensor unit with at least one sensor element, the sensor unit emitting a sensor signal that is dependent on the position of the sensor element. The counterpressure unit has a recess for receiving at least a part of the sensor element. The sensor element and the recess are arranged such that the sensor element is only received whenever the counterpressure unit is in the first position and no note of value is present between the sensor element and the recess. The cash box has a control unit which determines on the basis of the sensor signal of the sensor unit and the position of the counterpressure unit whether the cash box is empty.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International, GmbHInventor: Elmar Berendes

Patent number: 8579642Abstract: One plug connecting element is mounted on its device part in a side wall of a recess. The other plug connecting element is mounted on a swivel holder. When the one device part is inserted into the other device part, the swivel initially pushes the other plug out of the way of the one device part as it is being inserted. Further insertion causes the swivel holder to move the other plug into the recess in a position to mate with the one plug.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventor: Elmar Berendes

Patent number: 8567773Abstract: The invention relates to a device for handling notes of value, comprising at least one cash box for receiving notes of value and at least one separating and/or stacking module for removing notes of value and/or for supplying notes of value to the cash box. Here, the separating and/or stacking module and the cash box are arranged separately from each other. The cash box comprises a retraction element which in a swiveled-away position is arranged such that the notes of value are suppliable to the cash box by means of the separating and/or stacking module through an opening of the cash box and/or are removable from the cash box. In a retaining position, the retraction element is arranged such that no notes of value are suppliable to and no notes of value are removable from the cash box.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2010Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventor: Elmar Berendes

Patent number: 8500000Abstract: The invention relates to a device for locking and unlocking the roller shutter (12, 15) of a container (10) that can be inserted into a rack (11) and removed therefrom. The roller shutter (12, 15) is pulled open by a stationary pin engaging therewith during insertion of the container (10), it is pulled shut by the same engagement of the pin (14) when the container (10) is pulled out of the rack (11). In the closed position, the roller shutter (12, 15) shall be locked reliably and accurately. Two locking pins (21, 22) that can be actuated by cam tracks (35, 36) extending in longitudinal direction of the rack (11) and provided at the rack (11) serve for this purpose. The first locking pin (21) serves to lock the roller shutter (12, 15), the second locking pin (22) keeps the roller shutter (12, 15) in its exactly defined closed position during the locking by the first locking pin (21). As a result thereof, position errors of the roller shutter (12, 15) during locking and unlocking are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventor: Elmar Berendes
