Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for stacking vouchers that has at least one circumferential stacking belt (82). The stacking belt (82) has a circumferential belt body and at least one tongue pair (86a to 86c) provided outwardly on the belt body. The tongue pair (86a to 86c) has a transport tongue (90a to 90c) and a pressure tongue (88a to 88c). The pressure tongue (88a to 88c) and the transport tongue (90a to 90c) are configured and disposed such that the pressure tongue (88a to 88c) applies contact pressure to the transport tongue (90a to 90c) in the direction of the belt body at least in a circumferential area of the stacking belt (82).

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for aligning at least one voucher (12 to 18). The apparatus has first and second transport elements (24 to 52, 224 to 252) for transporting the voucher (12 to 18) on a transport plane (10) of a transport path. At least one first rotating transport element (38 to 52, 238 to 252) generates a driving force acting on the voucher (12 to 18) obliquely to the center axis (20) lying on the transport plane (10) of the transport path. At least one second rotating transport element (24 to 36, 224 to 296) generates a driving force acting on the voucher (12 to 18) parallel to the center axis (20). At least one first drive unit (304, 306, 313 to 322b) moves the first rotating transport element (38 to 52, 238 to 252) at least to the transport plane (10). At least one second drive unit (304, 306, 313 to 322) moves the second rotating transport element (24 to 36) at least to the transport plane (10).

Abstract: In the case of a dispensing unit for dispensing individual sheets, in particular banknotes, having a box-like container for accommodating a sheet stack, which can be moved with a stack end surface in the direction of the front end wall of the container, having an accommodating module for accommodating the container, and having a withdrawal device for withdrawing individual sheets from the stack end surface through a dispensing opening of the container, the withdrawl device having a drivable withdrawal roll, which is intended for butting against the stack end surface, a transporting roll, which is arranged parallel to the withdrawal roll and can be driven in the same direction as the latter, and a counter-rotating roll, which is assigned to the transporting roll, can be driven in the opposite direction to the latter and forms a nip with the transporting roll, at least the withdrawal roll is arranged within the container.

Abstract: In the case of a dispensing unit for dispensing individual sheets, in particular banknotes, having a box-like container (14) for accommodating a sheet stack (24), which can be moved with a stack end surface (40) in the direction of the front end wall (20) of the container (14), having an accommodating module (12) for accommodating the container (14), and having a withdrawal device for withdrawing individual sheets from the stack end surface (40) through a dispensing opening (38) of the container (14), the withdrawal device having a drivable withdrawal roll (30), which is intended for butting against the stack end surface (40), a transporting roll (46), which is arranged parallel to the withdrawal roll and can be driven in the same direction as the latter, and a counter-rotating roll (42), which is assigned to the transporting roll, can be driven in the opposite direction to the latter and forms a nip with the transporting roll (46), at least the withdrawal roll (30) is arranged within the container (14).

Abstract: A dispensing compartment for an automatic cash dispensing/depositing machine, having a base (26) and a removal opening which can be closed off by a closure flap (16), is designed as a module which can be inserted into the machine, comprising a frame (10) which has the removal opening and, arranged on said frame, the closure flap (16) which can be adjusted between its open position, in which it releases the removal opening, and its closed position, in which it closes off the removal opening, also comprising the compartment base (26), a stacking device (100) for setting down banknotes on the compartment base (26), a separating device (38) for drawing off banknotes from the compartment base (26), a first transporting path (72, 80, 90) for conveying banknotes from a first connection location of the module to the stacking device (100), a second transport path (101, 90, 80) for conveying banknotes from a second connection location (105) of the module to the stacking device (100), and a third transporting path (56)

Abstract: A dispensing device employs a mechanical touch sensor. The mechanical touch sensor includes a touching level with a magnet that generates a magnetic field and a Hall generator that interacts with the magnetic field to generate an output corresponding to a thickness of the sheet material for verifying a correct transport of the sheet material.

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.

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: 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.
