Abstract: Transporting apparatus for individual sheets, having two transporting paths which are aligned at an angle to one another. A diverter arrangement with a first diverter body, which can be adjusted in a translatory manner, and a second diverter body, which can be pivoted about its longitudinal axis synchronously with said first diverter body, serves for optionally guiding a single sheet along the first transporting path, deflecting the sheet into the second transporting path or deflecting it back from there into the first transporting path. For this purpose, a first diverter surface and a third diverter surface, which is aligned at an acute angle to the first diverter surface, are formed on the first diverter body. The second diverter body bears a second diverter surface.

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.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of manufacturing oriented cellulose films by spinning non-derivated cellulose dissolved in amino oxides into a precipitating bath. The cellulose solution is extruded downward through a film-blowing nozzle and an external air gap into the precipitating bath. The spun cellulose film can be inflated after exiting the film-blowing nozzle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing flexible cellulose fibres by spinning solutions of the cellulose through spinnerets over an air layer in an amine oxide-containing aqueous and/or alcoholic regenerating bath followed by drying, in which the damp threads from the spinneret are taken before drying through at least one post-treatment bath containing water and water-miscible alkanols, diols, triols or mixtures thereof, and a washing bath containing water, an alkanol, a diol or a triol.

Abstract: A system for dispensing sheet material such as security documents from one of two sheet compartments to a collecting station is disclosed. The system includes a delivery roller and a stepping motor provided independently for each of the two sheet compartments. The delivery roller associated with each of the sheet compartments draws the foremost sheet from a sheet stack within the respective compartment. The foremost sheet drawn off from the stack is fed to a conveyor roller independently associated with each respective sheet compartment wherein the conveyor roller of each sheet compartment is driven by the stepping motor of the other sheet compartment. The sheet drawn off from the stack is fed to a dispensing conveyor which is common to both sheet compartments. The drive for the system is carried out by the two stepping motors. The motors are operated in opposite directions when dispensing is taking place from each of the sheet compartments.

The molded solution is passed successively through at least two precepitation media, which are selected so that a slower coagualation takes place at least in the first precipitation medium than the final precipitation medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet-extracting device with a cassette for receiving a stack of sheets, and to a method of controlling the pressing force of the stack of sheets against the extracting device. The latter has extracting rollers (16) which are arranged on a floating shaft (34). For its part, the floating shaft (34) is centrally connected in a rationally fixed manner to a drive shaft (18) passing through it. The drive shaft (18) is mounted, by one end (20), in a frame-mounted bearing (21) and, by its other end (62), in a displaceable bearing (64). Acting on the bearing (64) is a force sensor (70, 74, 76) which is intended for determining the pressing force of the stack of sheets (12) against the extracting rollers (16). The pressing force is controlled such that it always moves within a narrow middle range between a minimum and a maximum possible value.
