Patent number: 9117323Abstract: An apparatus for stacking financial documents, in particular banknotes. The financial documents (BN) are stacked upright in a stacking area on a stacking surface, and the stacking operation is terminated when a predetermined stack length is reached. The stack formation takes place in a receiving bag (14) which is stationarily held by a holding frame (10) in the entry area of the financial documents (BN) and which forms a stock (15) around the circumference of the holding frame (10). With increasing stack length, receiving bag material is automatically taken from the stock (15) so that the length of the receiving bag (14) continuously adapts to the length of the value note stack (31). At the end of the stacking operation the receiving bag (14) is closed at its opening, e.g. by welding, and can subsequently be removed from the stacking area and can be used as a transport container or, respectively, a security bag.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Dirk Brexel, Hans-Guenter Voss

Patent number: 7765921Abstract: A press cage bar for a device for expressing liquids, which is bounded by at least one pressing edge in the area of a wear surface of a hard layer and which, in the area of at least one lateral face of the body of the cage bar, has at least one spacer that is raised above the lateral face. The spacer is formed as a deposit weld on the lateral face of the cage bar and is provided with a certain bottom clearance from the underside of the cage bar, which is on the opposite side of the cage bar from the wear surface. The spacer extends along the lateral face no farther than to the hard layer. The extent of the spacer transversely to a longitudinal axis of the lateral face is greater than its extent in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the lateral face. The spacer has increasing thickness perpendicular to the lateral face in a direction extending from the hard layer towards the underside of the cage bar.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2004Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau GmbHInventors: Lothar Vorreau, Günter Voss

Patent number: 6694058Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring an equipment operation procedure and to a self-service device monitored using this method. An optical pattern recognition method is used to detect the hand posture which is characteristic of an equipment operation procedure alone or else together with an object to be handled when using equipment, and to compare said hand posture with a prescribed pattern.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Joachim Burchart, Udo Tewes, Hans Günter Voss

Patent number: 6635875Abstract: The invention relates to an infrared gas analyser (1), especially for use as a gas detector for leak detection using a sampling probe. Said gas analyser comprises a vessel (test vessel 2), through which a test gas flows, and an infrared light source (4, 5, 42) which produces an infrared light that shines through the test vessel (2). The analyser further encompasses a detector (35) that facilitates measurement of the infrared light absorption in the test gas. The aim of the invention is to provide at low costs an analyser that is apt for every day use. To this end, a reference vessel (3) through which a reference gas flows is provided in addition to the test vessel (2) through which the test gas flows. A reference gas is sucked from the environment of the test gas suction area. The same or an additional light source (4, 5, 42) and the same detector (35) are allocated to said reference vessel.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2001Date of Patent: October 21, 2003Assignee: Inficon GmbHInventors: Werner Grosse Bley, Günter Voss, Ulrich Döbler, Thomas Böhm

Patent number: 6505755Abstract: An apparatus for removing banknote bundles from a multiplicity of banknote magazines (12, 14, 16), which are arranged one above the other in a housing (10) and are equipped with a separating device, and for supplying the banknote bundles at an outlet opening (32), comprises a lift (19) with a receiving container (28) for banknote bundles. The separating arrangement and the lift (19) are driven independently of one another. The receiving container (28) has a single receiving position (29) which is common to all the banknote magazines (12, 14, 16) and is located beneath the lowermost banknote magazine (16), in front of the discharge opening (18) of the same.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf GmbH & Co. KGInventor: Hans Günter Voss

Patent number: 6123327Abstract: The automatic cash dispenser has the following elements, a safe (18) for receiving at least one banknote cassette (32) and a separating device (34) for drawing off the banknotes out of the banknote cassette (32), of a banknote-dispensing compartment (50), which can be closed by a closure device (52), of a conveying device for conveying the banknotes from the separating device (34) to the dispensing compartment (50), of a control device for controlling the separating and the conveying devices. Also an operating panel (14, 16) with actuating elements for actuating the control device. The dispensing compartment (50) is arranged above the safe (18). In a central region of its top surface (22), the safe (18) has an aperture (42) for the through-passage of the conveying device.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 1999Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AktiengesellschaftInventors: Guenter Holland-Letz, Manfred Krafft, Hans-Guenter Voss, Peter Weigel, deceased, by Michaela Weigel, executrix, by Frederike Weigel, executor, by Gregor Weigel, executor

Patent number: 5366292Abstract: For use in a measuring and analysis instrument, a sensor including a sensor element responsive to changes in a quantity to be measured by the instrument. The sensor element is formed from a deformation heat-recoverable material having a predetermined range of temperatures in which recovery occurs. The sensor may include a control mechanism for maintaining the temperature of the sensor element substantially within the predetermined range. The sensor element forms a part of a circuit including a power source, and the control mechanism may include apparatus for selectively heating the sensor element. The sensor element is operatively connected to a signal device for sensing a physical characteristic of the sensor element and generating signals corresponding to the characteristic sensed. The signal device may include a temperature sensor, a force sensor, or a light sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1990Date of Patent: November 22, 1994Assignee: Leybold AGInventor: Guenter Voss

Patent number: 4986110Abstract: A method for taking samples of and for analyzing fluid hydrocarbons, whereby the sample is collected by sorption, is transported to an analysis equipment, and is analyzed; and an apparatus suitable for the implementation of this method. In order to implement sensitive analyses with adequately large sample quantities, the samples are collected by absorption in a solid sorbent having a high solubility and having a low diffusion quotient relative to the hydrocarbon samples.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1989Date of Patent: January 22, 1991Assignee: Leybold AktiengesellschaftInventor: Guenter Voss
