Abstract: A device for producing an electrode stack containing flat electrode elements includes a stacking wheel, which is mounted to rotate about a stacking wheel axis and has a plurality of stacking wheel fingers, which define respective intermediate spaces for receiving the electrode elements, and a wiper unit, which is designed to remove the electrode elements one after the other from the respective intermediate spaces through interaction with a rotational movement of the stacking wheel about the stacking wheel axis. The device furthermore includes a receiving unit for successively receiving the electrode elements removed from the intermediate spaces. The receiving unit has a base structure, on which the electrode elements received in the receiving unit can be stacked, and a delimiting element, which forms an end stop for the electrode elements received in the receiving unit and which is arranged statically in relation to the stacking wheel axis.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing an electrode stack from electrode stack elements is provided. A stacking wheel has at least one stacking wheel disc, which can be rotationally driven about an axis of rotation and which has compartments for receiving the electrode stack elements. A stripper strips the electrode stack elements from the compartments during a rotation of the stacking wheel. A shelf is provided for the electrode stack elements stripped from the stacking wheel. A conveyor conveys the electrode stack elements into the compartments. The conveyor comprises a transfer device for transferring the electrode stack elements into the compartments and a feeding device for feeding the electrode stack elements to the transfer device. A method for producing an electrode stack using the apparatus is also provided.

Abstract: A device for stacking flat items has stacking wheels which have stacking fingers and, located between the stacking fingers, compartments for receiving flat items to be stacked, a conveying device for conveying the flat items into the compartments of the stacking wheels, a stripper for removing the flat items from the compartments of the stacking wheels, a support for receiving the flat items removed from the compartments of the stacking wheels and for forming a stack of flat items, in which at least one first stacking wheel mounted on a first shaft and at least one second stacking wheel mounted on a second shaft are provided.

Abstract: An electrode-stacking wheel designed to receive and convey planar electrode elements, includes: a spindle designed for the rotating of the electrode-stacking wheel; a plurality of stacking fingers, which are radial to the spindle and which are arranged circumferentially around the axis of rotation; a plurality of intermediate spaces, which are formed between the respective stacking fingers, each intermediate space being designed to receive at least one of the electrode elements; and an electrode-clamping element formed in each of the intermediate spaces, each electrode-clamping element being designed such that, in the clamping state, the electrode-clamping element applies clamping force to a main surface of one of the electrode elements and presses the electrode element in question against the stacking finger in question by means of the force application.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing an electrode stack with flat electrode elements, including: a) providing a first electrode element; b) inserting the first electrode element into an intermediate space formed by stacking fingers of a stacking wheel which rotates about a rotation axis; c) transporting the first electrode element with the stacking wheel; d) removing the first electrode element from the intermediate space; e) arranging the first electrode element in a stacking position; f) providing a second electrode element; g) inserting the second electrode element into a further intermediate space different from the intermediate space and formed by stacking fingers of the stacking wheel; h) removing the second electrode element from the further intermediate space; and i) arranging the second electrode element in the stacking position and producing the electrode stack. The first electrode element is moved to a lateral target position by a movable alignment element.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inputting and depositing bank notes, whereby checked bank notes are temporarily stored in a stacking device singly or in bundles. To permit secure transport of bank notes from a stacking position to an end cashbox, temporarily stored bank notes are stacked on a deposit surface that is then itself moved to a position associated with the end cashbox, so that bank notes can be deposited in the end cashbox in said position.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for inputting and depositing bank notes whereby checked bank notes are temporarily stored in a stacking device singly or in bundles.

Abstract: A conveying system for the conveying of a product stream of products arranged in an overlapping formation has an incoming pressing belt pair (18, 20) and at least two departing pressing belt pairs (88, 90, 88′, 90). A switching mechanism 10 is provided between the incoming pressing belt pair (A) and the outgoing pressing belt pair (C).
