Patent number: 12240721Abstract: A device for handling notes of value comprises a sensor unit for detecting at least one feature of a least one note of value to be dispensed. A control unit distinguishes depending on the feature detected by the sensor unit whether the at least one note of value is a first note of value that is approved for withdrawal or a second note of value that is not approved for withdrawal and activates a switch unit such that the at least one note of value is fed to an intermediate storage when it is a second note of value. The intermediate storage comprises a transport unit which is drivable in a first direction for feeding the second note of value and which is drivable into a second direction such that the second note of value can be conveyed out of the intermediate storage.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GbmHInventors: Richard Düsterhus, Karl-Heinz Seroka, Dennis Mols

Patent number: 9047726Abstract: The invention concerns a method for separating a stack of notes of value, in which the stack of notes of value is arranged in a separating position. Subsequently, a withdrawal element is driven such that it transports at least one marginal note of value of the stack of notes of value in a separating direction in the direction of a separating gap formed between a transport element and a counter run element. Also the transport element is driven such that it transports the note of value further in the separating direction. By means of a sensor unit arranged downstream of the separating gap the number of the notes of value withdrawn and transported through the separating gap is determined. The withdrawal element, the transport element and/or the counter run element are controlled depending on this determined number of notes of value withdrawn.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbHInventors: Udo Petermann, Paul Freitag, Richard Duesterhus
