Abstract

Beschrieben wird eine Einrichtung zum Banderolieren von Banknotenbündeln mittels Bändern, die durch das eingeführte Bündel von zwei Vorratsrollen abgezogen werden und oberhalb und unterhalb des Bündels zu einer Schweiß- und Schneideinrichtung verlaufen, die in einem Arbeitsgang eine abschließende Schweißnaht für das von einem Preßstempel niedergehaltene Bündel bildet, die beiden Bänder hinter dieser Schweißnaht abteilt und sie durch eine zweite Schweißnaht miteinander verbindet. Bündel verschiedener Breite und Dicke können ohne vorherige Einstellung banderoliert werden, da verfahrbare Anschläge, welche das Bündel in die Arbeitsstellung befördern, dafür sorgen, daß sich die Rückseite des Bündels dort befindet, wo die Schweißnaht anzubringen ist.A device is described for banding bundles of banknotes by means of tapes which are drawn off by the inserted bundle of two supply rolls and run above and below the bundle to a welding and cutting device which forms a final weld seam for the bundle held down by a press ram in one operation , divides the two strips behind this weld seam and connects them to each other with a second weld seam. Bundles of various widths and thicknesses can be banded without prior adjustment, since movable stops which move the bundle into the working position ensure that the back of the bundle is located where the weld seam is to be applied.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf e'ine Einrichtung zum Banderolieren, insbesondere von Banknotenbündeln, mittels Bändern, die durch das eingeführte Packgut von zwei Vorratsrollen abgezogen werden und oberhalb und unterhalb des Packgutes zu einer Schweiß- und Schneideinrichtung verlaufen, die in einem Arbeitsgang eine abschließende Schweißnaht für das von einem Preßstempel niedergehaltene Packgut bildet, die beide Bänder hinter dieser Schweißnaht abteilt und sie durch eine zweite Schweißnaht miteinander verbindet.The invention relates to e 'ine means for banding, in particular of banknote bundles, by means of bands which are withdrawn by the introduced packaged goods of two supply rolls and run above and below of the packaging material to a welding and cutting device, the final weld seam in one operation for the packaged goods held down by a press ram, both Divide tapes behind this weld seam and connect them to each other with a second weld seam.

Aus OE-PS 267 411 ist eine derartige Einrichtung bekanntgeworden, bei der in einer ersten Station eine mit einer Ausnehmung versehene, plattenförmige Unterlage für das Packgut vorgesehen ist, die in der horizontal verlaufenden Arbeitsebene in eine zweite Station verschiebbar ist, in welcher die Schweiß- bzw. Schneidbalken angeordnet sind, wobei die Verpackungshülle von dem Packgut bzw. der Unterlage mitgenommen wird und in der zweiten Station oberhalb des Packgutes und korrespondierend zu ; der Ausnehmung der in diese Station vorgeschobenen Unterlage ein Druckstempel zum Festhalten des Packgutes während des Zurückziehens der als Einschiebeorgan wirken- den Unterlage aus der Hülle angeordnet ist.Such a device has become known from OE-PS 267 411, in which in a first station a plate-shaped support provided with a recess is provided for the packaged goods, which can be displaced in the horizontally running working plane into a second station in which the welding or cutting bars are arranged, the packaging casing being carried along by the packaged goods or the base and in the second station above the packaged goods and corresponding to; A pressure stamp for holding the packaged goods in place during the retraction of the underlay acting as an inserting element from the casing is arranged in the recess of the underlay advanced into this station.

Eine derartige Einrichtung, bei welcher das Packgut lose auf der beweglichen Unterlage aufliegt, von dieser unter einen Druckstempel befördert und dort festgehalten wird, während sich die Unterlage zur Ermöglichung des Schweißvorganges zurückzieht, ist für das Banderolieren von Banknotenbündeln wenig geeignet. Bei der Lösung dieser Aufgabe kommt es darauf an, am Beginn des Banderoliervor- ganges ein exakt ausgerichtetes Bündel zu bilden, das während seiner Verschiebung in die Arbeitsstellung und während des Verschweißens der Folien seine Form genau beibehält. Gleichzeitig wird an eine Banderolier- einrichtung
für Banknoten die schwierige Forderung gestellt, daß ohne Umrüstung Bündel verschiedener Dicke und Breite behandelt werden können sollen.
Such a device, in which the packaged goods lie loosely on the movable base, is conveyed by the latter under a pressure stamp and is held there, while the base withdraws to enable the welding process, is not very suitable for banding bundles of banknotes. When solving this task, it is important to form an exactly aligned bundle at the beginning of the banding process, which will keep its shape exactly during its shifting into the working position and during the welding of the foils. At the same time, a banding device
the difficult requirement for banknotes that bundles of different thicknesses and widths should be able to be handled without retrofitting.

Die Erfindung erfüllt diese Förderungen dadurch, daß zur Bewegung des Packgutes in die Arbeitsstellung beidseits einer feststehenden Unterlagsplatte angeordnete verfahrbare Anschläge vorgesehen sind.The invention fulfills these subsidies in that movable stops are provided on both sides of a fixed base plate for moving the packaged goods into the working position.

Die Anschläge dienen hiebei nicht nur am Beginn des Arbeitsvorganges zur exakten Ausrichtung der einzelnen Scheine übereinander, ihre jeweilige Lage definiert außerdem die Position der Rückseite des zu verpackenden Bündels, unabhängig von dessen Breite. Um die Schweißnaht an der richtigen Stelle anzubringen, genügt es somit, die Schweiß- und Schneideinrichtung dann auszulösen, wenn sich die Anschläge im Bereich der Schweiß- und Schneideinrichtung befinden. The stops serve not only at the beginning of the work process for the exact alignment of the individual notes one above the other, their respective position also defines the position of the back of the bundle to be packed, regardless of its width. In order to make the weld seam in the right place, it is therefore sufficient to trigger the welding and cutting device when the stops are in the area of the welding and cutting device.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, daß die Anschläge auch während des Schweißvorganges eine Abstützung für das Banknotenbündel bilden. Das hiefür notwendige kurze Verweilen der Anschläge im Bereich der Schweiß- und Schneideinrichtung wird am einfachsten erreicht, wenn sich dort der Umkehrpunkt der Bewegung der Anschläge befindet.It is preferably provided that the stops also form a support for the bundle of banknotes during the welding process. The necessary short dwell time for the stops in the area of the welding and cutting device is most easily achieved when the reversal point of the movement of the stops is located there.

Um ein glattes Anlegen der die Banderole bildenden Bänder am Packgut zu erzielen, ist es vorteilhaft, das zu umschlingende Bündel bereits während seiner Bewegung in die Arbeitsstellung durch einen Preßstempel unter Druck zu setzen. Dieser Preßstempel liegt vorzugsweise nur unter seinem eigenen Gewicht auf dem Packgut auf - jedenfalls muß er bei Einführung relativ dicker Bündel nach oben ausweichen können, was natürlich auch möglich ist, wenn eine Feder den Preßstempel nach unten belastet.In order to achieve a smooth application of the bands forming the band on the packaged goods, it is advantageous to put the bundle to be wrapped under pressure already during its movement into the working position by means of a press ram. This press ram is preferably only under its own weight on the packaged goods - in any case it must be able to dodge upwards when introducing relatively thick bundles, which is of course also possible if a spring loads the press ram downwards.

Um den Antrieb des Preßstempels über eine seitlich davon angeordnete Nockenscheibe bewirken zu können und dennoch sicherzustellen, daß der Preßstempel seine horizontale Lage beibehält, empfiehlt es sich, ihn an zwei parallel verlaufenden Lenkern zu lagern, an denen zumindest bei seiner Aufwärtsbewegung die Nockenscheibe angreift.In order to be able to drive the press ram via a cam disc arranged on the side thereof and still ensure that the press ram maintains its horizontal position, it is advisable to mount it on two parallel links on which the cam disc engages at least during its upward movement.

Das untere Band verläuft innerhalb der feststehenden Unterlagsplatte für die zu verpackenden Bündel bis zur Verschweißungsstelle, von der es erst durch das eingeschobene Packgut praktisch in seiner eigenen Längsrichtung weitergezogen wird. Dabei ergeben sich keine besonderen Probleme. Hingegen ist sicherzustellen, daß das obere Band bereits straff gespannt über die Oberseite des Packgutes verläuft, wenn sich der Preßstempel auf dieses senkt. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß zur Führung des oberen Bandes ein Schlitz im Preßstempel vorgesehen ist, durch den das obere Band nach unten gezogen wird.The lower band runs within the fixed base plate for the bundles to be packaged up to the welding point, from which it is practically pulled in its own longitudinal direction only by the inserted packaged goods. There are no special problems. On the other hand, it must be ensured that the upper band already runs tightly over the top of the packaged goods when the press ram lowers on it. This is achieved in that a slot is provided in the press ram for guiding the upper band, through which the upper band is pulled downward.

Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der anschließenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispieles. Dieses ist in Fig. 1 schaubildlich dargestellt, während Fig. 2 bis 4 die Arbeitsseite der Einrichtung in verschiedenen Bewegungsstadien und Fig. 5 die Antriebsseite in der Anfangsstellung zeigen; Fig. 6 ist eine schaubildliche Darstellung des gebündelten Packgutes.Further details of the invention emerge from the subsequent description of an exemplary embodiment. This is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, while FIGS. 2 to 4 show the working side of the device in various stages of movement and FIG. 5 shows the drive side in the initial position; 6 is a diagrammatic representation of the bundled packaged goods.

Die in Fig. 1 schaubildlich dargestellte Einrichtung wird durch eine lotrechte Platte 11-unterteilt, wobei sich hinter der Platte die Antriebsseite, vor der Platte die Arbeitsseite befindet. Aufgabe der Einrichtung ist es, je ein oberes Band 6 und ein unteres Band 6', die von Vorratsrollen 25 bzw. 25' über Umlenkrollen 23 bzw. 23' abgezogen werden, in einer Schweiß- und Schneideinrichtung miteinander zu verbinden. Die Verbindung soll in der Weise erfolgen, daß die in Fig. 6 dargestellte Banderole 28 entsteht, die aus je einem Stück des oberen Bandes 6 und des unteren Bandes 6' besteht, die beidseits durch Schweißnähte 29 miteinander verbunden sind. Im dargestellten Fall erfolgt die Verbindung der beiden Bänder 6,6' durch Kaltschweißen, d.h. daß diese an den einander zugekehrten Seiten mit einem Material beschichtet sind, das die beiden Bänder miteinander verbindet, wenn diese kräftig gegeneinander gepreßt werden. Zum Zusammenpressen der Bänder 6,6', deren Enden in der Darstellung nach Fig. 1 abgerissen sind, um den Blick auf die Schneid- und Schweißeinrichtung nicht zu behindern, dient der an sich bekannte Schneid- und Schweißbacken 9. Dieser besteht aus zwei Zahnreihen, die zusammen mit korrespondierenden Anschlägen 26 die Schweißnähte 29 bilden und aus einer dazwischen angeordneten Schneide 9', welche die miteinander verbundenen Bänder 6,6' zwischen den beiden im selben Arbeitsgang hergestellten Schweißnähten 29 abtrennt. In der Ruhestellung ist der Schweißbacken 9 teilweise in ein an der Wand 11 befestigtes Gehäuse 1o zurückgezogen, aus dem er beim Schweißvorgang unter der Wirkung einer Druckfeder nach unten schnellt.The device shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 is 11-divided by a vertical plate, the drive side being behind the plate and the working side being in front of the plate. The task of the device is to provide an upper belt 6 and a lower belt 6 ', which are provided by supply rolls 25 or 25' via deflection rolls 23 or 23 '. deducted to connect to each other in a welding and cutting device. The connection should take place in such a way that the band 28 shown in FIG. 6 is formed, which consists of a piece of the upper band 6 and the lower band 6 ', which are connected to one another on both sides by welds 29. In the illustrated case, the two bands 6, 6 'are connected by cold welding, that is to say that they are coated on the sides facing one another with a material which connects the two bands to one another when these are pressed firmly against one another. The known cutting and welding jaws 9 are used to press the bands 6, 6 ', the ends of which are torn off in the illustration according to FIG. 1, so as not to obstruct the view of the cutting and welding device. This consists of two rows of teeth which, together with corresponding stops 26, form the weld seams 29 and from an interposed cutting edge 9 'which separates the bands 6, 6' connected to one another between the two weld seams 29 produced in the same operation. In the rest position, the welding jaw 9 is partially retracted into a housing 10 attached to the wall 11, from which it snaps down during the welding process under the action of a compression spring.

Die Betätigung der dargestellten Einrichtung, erfolgt, wie anhand von Fig. 2 bis 5 noch ausführlicher erläutert werden soll, in der Weise, daß ein Bündel von Papierstreifen, insbesondere von Banknoten, auf die aus PTFE oder ähnlich gleitfähigem Material bestehende Auflage 8 der feststehenden Unterlagsplatte 2 aufgelegt und an den Anschlägen 3 ausgerichtet wird. Die nicht dargestellten Enden der Bänder 6,6' sind in diesem Stadium bereits miteinander verbunden und haften noch lose am vorderen Anschlag 26. Durch einen Druck auf den Knopf 27 werden die Anschläge 3 in Bewegung gesetzt und verschieben das Banknotenbündel über die Anschläge 26 hinweg, während es vom Preßstempel 4 zusammengedrückt wird. Während seiner Vorwärtsbewegung zieht das Packgut 1 die miteinander verbundenen Enden der Bänder 6,6' mit sich, sodaß es bereits auf drei Seiten von den Bändern 6,6' umgeben ist, wenn die Schneid- und Schweißbacken in Aktion treten und die abschließende Schweißnaht bilden und das fertige Bündel von dem gleichzeitig miteinander verbundenen verbleibenden Teil der Bänder 6,6' abtrennen.The device shown is actuated, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, in such a way that a bundle of paper strips, in particular bank notes, is placed on the support 8 of the fixed base plate made of PTFE or similarly slidable material 2 is placed and aligned with the stops 3. The ends of the tapes 6, 6 ', not shown, are already connected to one another at this stage and still adhere loosely to the front stop 26. By pressing the button 27, the stops 3 are set in motion and move the bundle of banknotes over the stops 26. while it is compressed by the ram 4. During its forward movement, the packaged goods 1 pull the connected ends of the bands 6, 6 'with them, so that they are already surrounded on three sides by the bands 6, 6' when the cutting and welding jaws come into action and form the final weld seam and separate the finished bundle from the remaining part of the bands 6, 6 'which is connected to one another at the same time.

Fig. 2 zeigt in schematischem Schnitt die Ausgangsstellung, in welcher das zu verpackende Banknotenbündel auf die Unterlage 2 aufgebracht und an den Anschlägen 3 ausgerichtet wird. Wie man sieht, verlaufen in dieser Stellung die in Fig. 3 und 4 wegen der Übersichtlichkeit der Darstellung nicht mehr gezeigten Bänder 6,6' von den Vorratsrollen 25,25' über Umlenkrollen 23,23' einerseits unterhalb der Unterlagsplatte 2, andererseits durch eine öffnung 7 im Preßstempel 4-zum Anschlag 26 für den Schneid- und Schweißbacken 9. An dieser Stelle sind sie durch eine im vorhergehenden Arbeitsgang erzeugt Schweißnaht miteinander verbunden. Der Preßstempel 4, der durch Parallelogrammlenker 5 und 5' in seiner horizontalen Lage gehalten ist, befindet sich ebenso wie der in das Gehäuse 1o zurückgezogene Schneid- und Schweißbacken in seiner obersten Stellung.2 shows a schematic section of the starting position in which the bundle of banknotes to be packaged is applied to the base 2 and aligned with the stops 3. As can be seen, in this position, the belts 6, 6 ', which are no longer shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 because of the clarity of the illustration, run from the supply rolls 25, 25' via deflection rolls 23, 23 'on the one hand below the base plate 2 and on the other hand through a opening 7 in the press ram 4 to the stop 26 for the cutting and welding jaws 9. At this point they are connected to one another by a weld generated in the previous operation. The press ram 4, which is held in its horizontal position by parallelogram links 5 and 5 ', is in its uppermost position, as is the cutting and welding jaws retracted into the housing 10.

Fig. 3 zeigt, wie die einzelnen Bestandteile der Einrichtung in ihrer Stellung nach Fig. 2 gehalten sind, wobei die Papierbahnen weggelassen sind, um die Zusammenhänge erkennen zu lassen. Die Anschläge 3 sind auf einem Schlitten 21 gelagert, der mittels Zugstange 2o über eine Kurbel 19 nach rechts verschiebbar ist, wogegen eine Rückholfeder 22 ihn so weit nach links zieht, als es die Kurbel 19 zuläßt. Auf der gleichen Welle wie die Kurbel 19 und mit dieser fest verbunden befindet sich eine Nockenscheibe 12, welche die Parallelogrammlenker 5 und 5' und damit den Preßstempel 4 nach oben drückt. Die obere Stellung des Schneid- und Schweißbackens 9 wird durch einen Hebel 16 erzwungen, der auf der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Antriebsseite der Einrichtung gelagert ist und durch die Öffnung 18 der Wand 11 hindurch an dem im Gehäuse 1o lotrecht geführten Rahmen 31 des Schweiß- und Schneidbackens angreift. Bewegt wird der Hebel 16 , wie insbesondere aus Fig. 5 hervorgeht, über eine Nockenscheibe 13, die mit einem Nocken 17 zusammenwirkt und auf der gleichen Antriebswelle 3o sitzt wie die Nockenscheibe 12 und die Kurbel 19. Der gemeinsame Antrieb aller dieser beweglichen Elemente der Einrichtung erfolgt über einen Motor 14 mittels einer Kette 15.FIG. 3 shows how the individual components of the device are held in their position according to FIG. 2, the paper webs being omitted in order to show the relationships. The stops 3 are mounted on a slide 21 which can be displaced to the right by means of a pull rod 20 via a crank 19, whereas a return spring 22 pulls it to the left as far as the crank 19 permits. On the same shaft as the crank 19 and firmly connected to it there is a cam disk 12 which presses the parallelogram link 5 and 5 'and thus the press ram 4 upwards. The upper The position of the cutting and welding jaw 9 is forced by a lever 16 which is mounted on the drive side of the device shown in FIG. 5 and through the opening 18 of the wall 11 on the frame 31 of the welding and cutting jaw guided perpendicularly in the housing 10 attacks. The lever 16 is moved, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 5, via a cam disk 13, which cooperates with a cam 17 and is seated on the same drive shaft 30 as the cam disk 12 and the crank 19. The common drive of all these movable elements of the device takes place via a motor 14 by means of a chain 15.

Wenn das Packgut 1, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, zu einem Bündel geschichtet ist, wird die Einrichtung durch einen Druck auf den Knopf 27, der den Motor 14 in Bewegung setzt, gestartet. Über die sich drehende Welle 3o wird dann einerseits der Schlitten 21 nach vorne gezogen, sodaß die Anschläge 3 das Packgut 1 unter Mitnahme der miteinander verbundenen Enden der Bänder 6,6' verschieben. Gleichzeitig erfolgt-über die Nockenscheibe 12 eine Absenkung des Preßstempels 4 auf das Packgut 1, das im vorliegenden Fall nur durch das Gewicht des Preßstempels 4 und teilweise durch das Gewicht der Parallelogrammlenker 5, 5' belastet wird. Selbstverständlich könnte diese Belastung durch eine zusätzliche Feder verstärkt werden.If the packaged goods 1, as shown in FIG. 3, are layered into a bundle, the device is started by pressing the button 27, which sets the motor 14 in motion. The carriage 21 is then pulled forward on the one hand via the rotating shaft 3o, so that the stops 3 move the packaged goods 1 with the entrainment of the interconnected ends of the belts 6, 6 '. At the same time, the ram 4 is lowered onto the packaged goods 1 via the cam disk 12, which in the present case is only loaded by the weight of the ram 4 and in part by the weight of the parallelogram links 5, 5 '. Of course, this load could be increased by an additional spring.

Befinden sich die Anschläge 3 in ihrer vordersten Stellung, so bewirkt die Nockenscheibe 13 eine schlagartige Freigabe des Hebels 16, woraufhin die Druckfeder 24 den Schneid-und Schweißbacken 9 nach unten schlägt. Dabei wird hinter dem von den Anschlägen 3 festgehaltenen Packgut 1 eine abschließende Schweißnaht gebildet, durch welche die Banderole 28 fertiggestellt wird und gleichzeitig werden die Enden der Bänder 6,6' in Vorbereitung des nächsten Arbeitsganges neuerlich miteinander verbunden. Zwischen den beiden benachbarten Schweißnähten 29 erfolgt je nach Bedarf eine mehr oder minder vollständige Durchtrennung der miteinander verbundenen Bänder, welche das Entfernen des banderolierten Packgutes erlaubt. In Fig. 4 sind die Anschläge 3 übrigens in einer Stellung gezeigt, die zu einer relativ losen Banderole 28 führen würde. In der Praxis wird der Weg der Anschläge 3 so eingestellt, daß sich diese beim Schweißvorgang praktisch auf der Höhe des Schweiß- und Schneidbackens 9 befinden. Die Drehung der Welle 3o wird durch einen Endschalter beendet, sobald sich die Anschläge 3 wieder, wie in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellt, in der Ausgangsstellung befinden.If the stops 3 are in their foremost position, the cam disk 13 brings about an abrupt release of the lever 16, whereupon the compression spring 24 strikes the cutting and welding jaws 9 downwards. A final weld seam is formed behind the packaged goods 1 held by the stops 3, through which the band 28 is completed and at the same time the ends of the bands 6, 6 'are connected to one another again in preparation for the next work step. Between the two adjacent welds 29 takes place as required a more or less complete severing of the interconnected straps, which allows the removal of the banded packaged goods. 4, the stops 3 are shown in a position that would lead to a relatively loose sleeve 28. In practice, the path of the stops 3 is set so that they are practically at the level of the welding and cutting jaws 9 during the welding process. The rotation of the shaft 3o is stopped by a limit switch as soon as the stops 3 are again in the starting position, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Die dargestellte Einrichtung erfüllt beide Forderungen, denen genügt werden muß, wenn eine straff um ein Banknotenbündel gelegte Banderole erzielt werden soll. Einer- seits wird durch den Preßstempel 4 während des gesamten. Verschiebungsvorganges das Banknotenbündel zu einem relativ massiven Block zusammengepreßt, der das Banderolenmaterial unter Zugspannung mitnimmt, sodaß sich dieses eng anlegt, andererseits wird durch die erfindungsgemäßen Anschläge die Hinterkante des Banknotenbündels so eng wie möglich hinter dem Schweißbacken positioniert und während des Schweißvorganges festgehalten. Eine solche genaue Positionierung ist bei bekannten Einrichtungen, wo die Unterlage für das Packgut zurückgezogen wird, nicht möglich, sodaß dort immer die Gefahr gegeben wäre, daß einzelne Banknoten unter den Schweißbacken geraten, sodaß eine Fehlpackung oder eine Verletzung der Banknoten entsteht.The device shown fulfills both requirements, which must be met if a banderole tightly wrapped around a bundle of banknotes is to be achieved. On the one hand, through the press ram 4 throughout. Displacement process, the bundle of banknotes pressed into a relatively solid block, which takes the banderole material under tensile stress, so that it fits tightly, on the other hand, the rear edge of the bundle of banknotes is positioned as close as possible behind the welding jaws and held during the welding process by the stops according to the invention. Such exact positioning is not possible in known devices where the base for the packaged goods is withdrawn, so that there would always be the risk that individual banknotes get under the welding jaws, so that incorrect packaging or an injury to the banknotes occurs.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Verwendung von Banderoliermaterial mit einem innenliegenden Kaltsiegelbelag, die dies nicht nur eine einfache mechanische Verbindung der beiden Teile der Banderole erlaubt, sondern durch die hohe Adhäston zwischen Banderole und Packgut auch ein Abstreifen der Banderole verhindert wird.It is particularly advantageous to use banding material with an internal cold seal coating, which not only allows a simple mechanical connection of the two parts of the band, but also prevents stripping of the band due to the high level of adhesion between the band and the packaged goods.

Die beim Schweißvorgang gebildeten flossenartigen Schweißnähte bilden beim Abziehen einer Banderole bzw. beim Herausziehen einzelner Banknoten aus dem Bündel einen guten Ansatzpunkt für die Hand. Sollen andererseits die Banderolen abgerissen werden, so stellen die Schweißnähte eine Sollbruchstelle dar, da sie sich ähnlich wie Aufreißperforationen verhalten.The fin-like weld seams formed during the welding process form a good starting point for the hand when pulling off a banderole or pulling out individual bank notes from the bundle. If, on the other hand, the banderoles are to be torn off, the weld seams represent a predetermined breaking point, since they behave similarly to tear perforations.
