Abstract: This invention relates to flexible cellulose fibers with a reduced modulus and a decreased NMR degree of order, particularly for use in the textile field, which are obtained by pressing out solutions of the cellulose in hydrous NMMNO through spinning nozzles along an air travel into an NMMNO-containing aqueous and/or alcoholic precipitation bath as well as by a conventional rinsing, aftertreatment and drying, with strengths of between 15 and 50 cN/tex, and to a process for their production. According to the invention, these flexible cellulose fibers have an initial modulus of less than 1,500 cN/tex, and the relationship of the heights of the lines at 88 ppm and 85 ppm above the spectrum base line in the highly resolved .sup.13 C-NMR solid-body spectrum is .ltoreq.1.

Abstract: A container (10) for receiving bank notes in a bank note dispensing device has a closable housing (12) with an intake opening (20) for the bank notes. Two driven, cooperating draw-in rollers (22,24) in the region of or in the intake opening (20) delimit a draw-in gap (26) through which bank notes are drawn in. The device comprises a plurality of compartments (I to V, 48) for receiving bank notes. The receiving openings of the compartments (I to V, 48) can be optionally connected to the draw-in gap (26).

Abstract: A dispensing unit for paper currency includes a box-shaped currency container (14) with a circuit that stores an identification code and with a frame-like receptacle module (12) into which the currency container (14) can be inserted, and a contact arrangement (146) of the currency container (14) can be connected by a mating contact arrangement (148) mounted on the receptacle module (12) to a polling and control circuit that controls the opening or locking of the currency container (14). In order to permit polling of the circuit in the currency container (14) during the insertion movement, the mating contact arrangement (148) is adjustable in the direction of insertion (A) of the currency container (14).

Abstract: In an apparatus for receiving generally rectangular individual sheets and for storing the same in a container (14) in orderly condition, which container is arranged in a housing and has a throughput opening (34) connected with an input opening of the housing by a transport belt (18) for serially transporting the individual sheets, the throughput opening in at least the direction of one edge of the sheets is smaller than the corresponding measurement of the sheets. At the end of the transport belt (18, 24) a stacking apparatus (22) is arranged in front of the throughput opening and includes a stack support surface (30) for forming a stack of sheets, the sheets being arranged upright on the stack support surface (30) and parallel to the throughput opening (34). For inserting the sheets in the container (14) a pusher (48) is provided which is shiftable in the direction toward throughput opening.

Abstract: A control system for the pressing force created on the draw-off roller system (24) in a single-feed mechanism for sheet material (16) is described. This pressing force has an optimum value when the time required for the respective draw-off operation is the minimum amount. For a corresponding regulation, a time measurement is performed with successive draw-off operations. The times thus determined are evaluated, and if they are found to be the same, the value of the pressing force reached following regulation of a drive that produces the pressing force is retained.

Abstract: In a dispensing device for sheet material that includes a draw-off device and a single feed device with at least one draw-off roll, several conveyor rolls (22) arranged side by side with some axial spacing and with mating rolls (24) that are axially offset and are radially adjustable with respect to the conveyor rolls (22), where the mating rolls (24) and at least one of the conveyor rolls (22) that can be driven in the same direction with the former are made of a hard material, a ring-shaped strip (44) made of an elastic deformable material is embedded in the peripheral surface of the conveyor roll (22) that is made of a hard material where the axial width of this ring is smaller than the axial width of the peripheral surface of the conveyor roll (22) and projects radially above the peripheral surface in the unloaded state.

Abstract: A device for receiving, inspecting and storing instruments of value, comprising a lockable housing having at least one instrument receptacle (36), an inspection means for inspecting and identifying the instruments, a deposit unit (14) having a deposit pocket (18) and a return pocket (20) arranged on a wall (16) of the housing. Conveyors (28, 38) are provided for conveying instruments between the deposit unit (14) and the inspection unit and between the inspection unit and the instrument receptacle (36). The instrument receptacle (36) and a first part of the inspection unit (34) for verifying the genuineness of and identifying the instruments are arranged inside a closed vault (12). Instruments are moved between the closed vault and the deposit unit (14) by way of a two-way conveyor (28) passing through an opening (30) in the wall of the vault (12).

Abstract: A security-oriented conveyor system for currency dispensers and the like comprising a pair of conveyor belts which lie in facial contact with one another to grip one or more sheets of currency between them and convey same through a downwardly inclined slot in a vault wall. Conveyor rollers are located adjacent the slot openings to prevent tampering.

Abstract: In a device for dispensing sheet material having at least one storage container for a stack of said sheet material, a withdrawal device associated with said storage container consisting of withdrawal rollers for removing sheets of said sheet material from said storage container, a plurality of spaced transporting rollers for conveying removed sheets along a path, spaced contra-rotating rollers which can be adjusted between said transporting rollers to obtain optimum detention of duplicate sheets thereby preventing the simultaneous passage of a plurality of sheets along said path and a dispensing station arranged at the end of the conveying path, the improvement comprising said contra-rotating rollers being formed of an inherently stable material, at least some of the transporting rollers being formed of an elastically yielding material preferably having a cellular or porous surface for good adhesion to said sheets, and at least some of the transporting rollers being formed of an inherently stable unyielding m

Abstract: A dispenser for bank notes and currency having a plurality of storage receptacles for bank notes and currencies of different denominations, each with a permanently assigned take-up device. A central conveyor line common to all of the storage receptacles leads to a delivery or filing position. The central conveyor line and the take-up devices are arranged between partly open limits of the storage receptacle and the central conveyor line includes driven guides for the certificates.
