Abstract: An assembly and a method for processing value documents such that the assembly has a transport apparatus for value-document receptacles which forms a cyclically circulating transport loop for the value-document receptacles. At least one checking apparatus for checking value documents is connected to the transport apparatus in such a manner that a respective value-document stack, possibly together with its value-document receptacle, can be transported via the respective transport interface from the cyclically circulating transport loop to the respective checking apparatus and/or from the respective checking apparatus to the cyclically circulating transport loop. The cyclically circulating transport loop is self-contained in such a manner that the value-document receptacles can circulate around the cyclically circulating transport loop several times in the same direction of circulation, and thus allows a temporally flexible removal of the respective value-document stack.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a system or a device for recognizing, checking, counting, accounting and sorting objects of value, which can be automatically adapted to changing delivery and demand conditions. A control controls the transport paths and processing steps within the device with the aid of conveyor plants and corresponding diverters and optimizes them in such a way that the objects of value are transported in a targeted fashion to the processing stages which are necessary for the processing of the objects of value. The control takes into account information about the components of the device as well as the inbound-delivered objects of value and the objects of value to be delivered outbound in order to ensure optimal processing of the objects of value or to deliver ordered packs of objects of value outbound as quickly as possible.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing documents of value having a checking device for checking documents of value in a processing area, an intermediate repository arranged in an intermediate area for intermediately storing documents of value, a transport device for transporting the documents of value to the intermediate repository, a final storage device for storing documents of value from the intermediate repository, an intermediate-area housing enclosing the intermediate area having a first opening that receives documents of value coming from the checking device, a second opening, through which the documents of value are transportable from the intermediate repository into the final storage area, and an intermediate-area housing element which can be moved back and forth between an open position, which allows access to the intermediate repository, and a close position, which prevents access to the intermediate-area housing, and a locking device for locking the intermediate-area housing element in the close position.

Abstract: An apparatus for diverting sheet material, in particular bank notes (BN), includes a diverting plate (4) with a first diverting edge (7) disposed on a slant and preferably a second diverting edge (8) disposed on a slant. The sheet material is guided and transported from the rear side (6) of the diverting plate (4) around the first diverting edge (7) to the front side (5) and further around the second diverting edge (8) back to the rear side (6). If the diverting edges (7, 8) are aligned relative to the transport direction (1, 2, 3) of the sheet material e.g. in each case at a slant angle of 45°, this apparatus permits the sheet-material transport direction to be diverted by 180°, whereby the transport path is shifted parallel. Thus, a continuous bank-note stream can be diverted uninterruptedly while retaining the sheet-material orientation relative to the transport direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing documents of value (12) has a checking device (52) for checking documents of value (12) with a sensor device (50) arranged in a processing area (28), an intermediate repository (16) arranged in an intermediate area (76) for intermediately storing documents of value (12), a transport device (42) arranged in the processing area (28) for transporting the documents of value (12) fed to the apparatus to the checking device (52) and from this to the intermediate repository (16), a final storage device (22) defining a final storage area (20) for at least one security container (24) for storing documents of value (12) from the intermediate repository (16), an intermediate-area housing (56) enclosing the intermediate area (76) having a first opening (54), through which documents of value (12) coming from the checking device (52) can be fed to the intermediate repository (16), a second opening (88), through which the documents of value (12) are transportable from the intermediate repository

By means of a gate (12) the sheet material can be guided to a downstream diverting edge (13) instead of to the second diverting edge (8).

Abstract: A cog belt pulley defining an axis of rotation having an outer circumferential surface oriented about the axis of rotation and including a plurality of teeth for engagement with at least one cog belt. The pulley is distinguished in having at least one flange segment radially extending from the outer circumferential surface. Each flange segment projects about a fraction of the circumferential surface and is located on an individual plane. The at least one flange segment is arranged for enabling a cog belt to be configured onto the pulley without interfering with the at least one of the flange segment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bank note sorting apparatus. Known such apparatuses have the disadvantage of not being user-friendly since the transport path of the bank notes is not readily accessible to a user due to the elaborate mechanical design of the transport system. Bank notes that block the transport system due to faulty transport can therefore not be readily removed. In the present invention this disadvantage is avoided by the bank note sorting apparatus consisting of at least three parts, with one part disposed in the middle and at least two parts removable therefrom, thereby obtaining easy access to the transport system.

Abstract: In a sheet-processing apparatus, banknotes are separated by a separator (10) and fed to a depositing arrangement (18) via a sensor and transporting unit (8). Depositing takes place in different depositing compartments in accordance with depositing criteria which are determined by certain features of the banknotes (BN) being sensed. The individual depositing compartments (30, 32, 34) of the depositing arrangement (18) are assigned stacker wheels (20, 22, 24), which have stacker fingers which, in pairs, define a sheet compartment between them. The banknotes are introduced into the sheet compartments and are then deposited in the associated depositing compartment by the stacker fingers.

Abstract: A cog belt pulley system includes cog belt pulleys (10a to 10c) each with at least one flange (15 to 17) protruding in the radial direction beyond the toothed circumferential surface (11) and extending in the circumferential direction to limit slipping of the belt (20, 30, 40) at right angles to the circumferential direction of the pulleys (10a to 10c). Said flange is provided only as a segment over a limited part of the circumferential surface in the circumferential direction of the pulleys. A belt is mounted on two pulleys by the pulleys being rotated into a position in which the particular flange segments face each other. In this position the belt can be pushed onto the pulleys without colliding with the flange segments.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for automatic bundling of sheet material, in particular bank notes, having a deposit device on which sheet material to be bundled is deposited as a precisely fitting stack, a sliding device moving the stack of sheets perpendicularly toward a foil supplied by a device whereby the stack is partly wrapped with the foil and supplied to a transport device. The invention is characterized in that the transport device has two parallel, vertically adjustable conveyer belts between which the stack with its partly surrounding foil is clamped and transported to a banding device, said stack being positioned by the conveyer belts such that the foil is guided around the stack by the banding device and connected into a band, thereby obtaining a bundled stack of sheets. Subsequently the bundled packet can be pushed onto a transport belt with the aid of a delivery pocket.

Abstract: A working furniture item or table has a modular construction and is usable as an office and conference table and as a work place for electronics engineers, computers, laboratories and technicians.
