Patent number: 11361631Abstract: An automated teller machine comprises an output compartment for the output of notes of value and a closing element (14) which, in a closed state, closes the output compartment. An output area (12) is delimited by a first delimiting element (16, 22) and at least a second delimiting element (18, 20) and, in the closed state, by the closing element (14). An arrangement (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) for monitoring the output area (12) comprises at least a sensor unit (112, 122, 212, 222, 512, 520, 312, 612, 712, 812) which is arranged and configured such that it detects an element (E, E1, E2) arranged in the output area.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Erich Kujat, Lutz Neubauer

Patent number: 6156407Abstract: The card-shaped plastic carrier 2 of a cleaning card for magnetic track and chip card writing/reading devices is partially layered with a codable material as well as with soft cleaning material. The cleaning material consists of a fiber flock with individual fibers extending essentially perpendicularly from the carrier and tightly packed and adhesively attached to the carrier and having predetermined lengths and predetermined diameters. The codable material is in the form of a pigmented screen printed color printed in several screen printing processes; then on at least side of the card pre-given surface areas for the cleaning material is layered by screen printing processes with a two-component adhesive 8; then the individual fibers are set into the adhesive beds of the individual surface areas essentially perpendicularly; the flat plastic carrier 2 with the layers is subjected to a drying process; and then the nonbonded fibers are washed away.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1998Date of Patent: December 5, 2000Assignees: Wincor Nixdorf GmbH & Co.
