Patent number: 7997418Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for processing monetary units such as banknotes or coins, in which the monetary unit are conveyed from an input compartment in each case to one of a plurality of output compartments as a function of predefined sorting criteria. In order to widen the range of application of banknote sorting machines, a control device for the processing apparatus is provided, which control device is configured to be able to output in each case a predefined number of monetary units of a plurality of different denominations into at least some of the output compartments in order to process these monetary units in an individualized fashion. In comparison to the previously predominantly manually executed individualized processing, the solution according to the invention permits rapid and reliable individualized processing of cash supported by automatic means.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2001Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Lukas Löffler, Rudolf Öttl, Josef Geier

Patent number: 6177179Abstract: With an integral, board-like component, in particular for use as a kitchen working surface, comprising a visible side and a rear side, wherein the visible side comprises a layer consisting of a polymer matrix filled with a first, inorganic filler, its specific density being greater than the specific density of the polymer matrix, it is suggested for the production of the boards in a simple manner and with a good planarity that the filler content of the first filler in the visible side layer be 50 to 90% by volume, that the rear side comprise a layer which is formed from a polymer matrix filled with a second inorganic filler, wherein the proportion of the polymer matrix in this layer in % by volume differs quantitatively by 20% at the most from the volume content of the polymer matrix in the visible side layer and wherein the specific density of the second filler is ≦0.6 g/cm3.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1998Date of Patent: January 23, 2001Assignee: Schock & Co. GmbHInventors: Friedrich Schock, Klaus Hock, Josef Geier, Rudolf Paternoster, Walter Birnbeck

Patent number: 5803446Abstract: A method for singling loose sheet material, in particular bank notes, wherein the sheet material is supplied in an input pocket in the form of a stack in a defined position for vertical feed of the sheet material to a singler. The sheet material is moved within the input pocket vertically from the feed position to a singling position. While the preceding stack is still being singled in the singler, the next stack to be singled is already supplied in the input pocket of the singler in the defined feed position.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1997Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Giesecke & Devrient GmbHInventors: Karl Leuthold, Karl Benker, Wolfgang Konig, Erwin Demmeler, Josef Geier

Patent number: 4951933Abstract: A separating apparatus, in which the sheet material is conveyed in stacks via a stack transporting system to the stack holder, comprises first apparatus for effecting selective mechanical manipulation of the stack going through the separation process in case sensors, which check the separation sequence, detect a deviation from the proper separation process. Further sensors may be provided in addition for testing the stack before and during separation as to its shape and/or state of conservation. Taking this information into account, an irregularity occurring during separation can then be combatted by triggering that measure which appears best suitable for automatically eliminating the disturbance of the separation process.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1988Date of Patent: August 28, 1990Assignee: GAO Gesellschaft fur Automation and Organisation mbHInventors: Wilhelm Mitzel, Karl-Heinz Leuthold, Josef Geier

Patent number: 4790525Abstract: A separating apparatus for sheet material in which the sheet material is conveyed in stacks via a stack transporting system to a stack holder including a stack manipulator for effecting selective mechanical manipulation of the stack going through the separation process in the event that a deviation from the proper separation process is detected. In addition, a stack tester may be provided for testing the geometric and physical condition of the stack of sheet material before and during separation. An irregularity occurring during separation can be combatted by instituting a stack manipulation procedure which appears best suitable for automatically eliminating the disturbance of the separation process.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1988Date of Patent: December 13, 1988Assignee: GAO Gesellschaft fur Automation and Organisation mbHInventors: Wilhelm Mitzel, Karl-Heinz Leuthold, Josef Geier

Patent number: 4553312Abstract: A device for removing a band (2) wrapped around a bundle (1) of sheets by means of a cutting device (11). The cutter (7) of the cutting device is arranged on the plane on which the bundle is transported in such a way that it dips into a side face of the bundle, cutting along the entire length of the bundle and thereby severing the band located at right angles to the side face. The severed band (2) is grasped on the side opposite the cutting by a hook (13) of a pull-off device (12) provided opposite the cutting device (11), and removed at right angles to the direction in which the bundle (1) is transported.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1983Date of Patent: November 19, 1985Assignee: GAO Gesellschaft fur Automation und Organisation mbHInventors: Wilhelm Mitzel, Josef Geier, Karl Leuthold

Patent number: 4244565Abstract: A method of controlling the entry of flat, flexible material into the compartments of the rapidly rotating spiral compartment stacker is provided whereby the synchronism of the material conveyed to the appropriate compartment in the stacker is checked and the introduction of the front edge of the material is corrected in the case of deviations from a given desired value dependent on said deviation. This method ensures that the material is introduced into the spiral compartment stacker without disruption and without its being damaged.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1978Date of Patent: January 13, 1981Assignee: Gesellschaft fur Automation und Organisation GmbHInventor: Josef Geier

Patent number: 4236639Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically sorting packets of thin sheet articles such as securities, bank notes and the like which are bound in a stack by a band. A series of modular units are provided in which the band and the stack are mechanically separated, each sheet of the stack is conveyed independent of the band, each sheet is tested and directed to a target location dependent upon the results of the test. The transport of sheets having predetermined characteristics is coordinated with the transport of the band.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1978Date of Patent: December 2, 1980Assignee: G.A.O.
