Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and to a device for processing printing media printed with security impressions in the form of sheets of paper or sheets of paper, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • each bundled bundle contains 100 notes of value, and ten bundles of the same number series are then combined into a package of a total of 1000 notes of value, which must have a sequential number sequence.
  • the numbering can also be carried out in such a way that all the security impressions that are next to each other in a transverse row, i.e. a row oriented perpendicular to the feed direction when numbering, are provided with a consecutive number sequence that is in the same row of the following sheet continues.
  • the correct sequence of those notes that originally lay next to each other in the same transverse rows of successive sheets must be collected.
  • the present invention which relates to the processing steps following the numbering, is based on the task of cutting the print carriers and sorting and collecting the notes of value in such a way that a simple, rational and reliable workflow is ensured which does not require complicated and fault-prone processing stations.
  • n is preferably approximately 100.
  • a device for carrying out the method according to the invention is characterized by the features specified in patent claims 7 and 8.
  • the sheet leaving the numbering machine is cut into strips transverse to the running direction with a cross cutter, and then n strips, preferably about 100 strips, are collected to form a stack of strips, which then arrives at the bundle cutting machine.
  • n strips preferably about 100 strips
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 show the entire, coherent device for the processing of printing media in the form of value sheets R which are printed in the form of a matrix with security prints in longitudinal and transverse rows.
  • all the security prints recognized as misprints are provided with a marking which is read by a reading device 1 and, in the example considered, consists of a cross (FIG. 1).
  • the positions of all misprints of a sheet R detected by the reader 1 are stored electronically, for example in a computer.
  • the sheets R are numbered in a numbering machine 2 connected downstream of the reading device 1, then pass through an edge cutting device 3, which carries out the side edge trimming, and then arrive at a corner station 4.
  • misprints marked with a cross and the numbering of the perfect security prints are indicated schematically, which in the example under consideration are arranged in six longitudinal rows and ten transverse rows on each sheet. Longitudinal rows are used to designate the rows oriented parallel to the feed direction in the numbering machine 2, while the transverse rows are the rows running perpendicularly thereto.
  • the numbering machine 2 is equipped with 60 numbering units, which are set and forwarded as a function of the stored misprint positions so that with each revolution of the cylinders of the numbering machine 2, the perfect security impressions, one behind the other in a longitudinal row, are numbered consecutively, excluding the misprints. All banknotes in a longitudinal row belong to a certain number series, and the number of different number series, which are designated with A, B, C, D, E, and F, is of course equal to the number of longitudinal rows of a sheet R.
  • the security prints in the longitudinal rows belonging to the series A, C and F, which contain no misprints, are numbered consecutively with A1 to A10, C1 to C10, etc.
  • the series B, D and E series contain one or two or one misprint, in which the indexing of the numbering unit in question was interrupted, so that only the perfect security prints were numbered consecutively.
  • the longitudinal series belonging to the B series contains the vouchers with the numbering B1 to B9
  • the longitudinal series belonging to the D series contains the vouchers with the numbering D1 to D8
  • the longitudinal series belonging to the E series contain the vouchers with the numbering E1 to E9.
  • the number sequence of each longitudinal row continues on the following sheet, so that, for example, the longitudinal row belonging to series A of the following sheet begins with the numbering A11.
  • misprints are also provided with a clear cancellation stamp at the places where the note number is normally located by a cancellation printing unit.
  • This cancellation printing unit which is preferably arranged between reader 1 and numbering machine 2 and is also controlled as a function of the stored misprint positions, is not shown in the drawing.
  • the numbered sheets R are aligned at the corner station 4 by pressing with their right side edge, with reference to the previous transport direction in the direction of the arrow F1, against stops 5, and then, after lowering the stops 5, in the direction of 90 ° changed transport direction in the direction of arrow F2, for example by grippers or belts.
  • the former longitudinal rows are now transverse to the new direction of transport.
  • each sheet R is divided into ten strips S parallel to the new transport direction and simultaneously trimmed at its edges.
  • the strips are cut perpendicular to the rows that contain the consecutively numbered security prints of a number series.
  • Each individual strip S therefore has so many Securities impressions, such as number series on a sheet, in the example considered six.
  • the strips S of a sheet lying next to one another then reach a strip collecting station 7.
  • This has a device 7a for the scale-like depositing of the ten strips, which are then pushed over one another in the sense of the two small arrows F3.
  • this strip group formed from ten strips S, all consecutively numbered security prints of one and the same series of numbers, possibly mixed with misprints that occur, lie one above the other in the correct number sequence.
  • the stripe below shows the lowest numbers of the different number series.
  • a plurality of such strip groups are then stacked in a stacking device 7b to form a strip stack T in the order in which they occur.
  • the number of stripe groups which form a stripe stack T is selected such that each stripe stack T has a predetermined number n of stripes, where n is approximately 100.
  • each strip stack T all consecutively numbered security prints, possibly mixed with misprints, lie one above the other in the correct number sequence, the lowest numbers in FIG. 2 denoted by A1, Bi, ..., F1 in each strip stack below and those with An, Bn. .., Fn designated highest numbers are above.
  • A1, Bi, ..., F1 in each strip stack below and those with An, Bn. .., Fn designated highest numbers are above.
  • Each strip stack T is then precisely aligned in a device 7c.
  • the strip stacks T are then conveyed in the direction of the arrow F5 and, in a bundle cutting station 8, which consists of a conventional cross cutter, are successively cut into bundles of notes U, which are then aligned in a station 9.
  • Each bundle of notes U contains only consecutively numbered notes belonging to one and the same number series A, B, ..., F, as indicated by the labeling of the bundles in FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • this distribution takes place in such a way that groups of three successive bundles are alternately fed to a vertical distribution station 11 and 11.
  • the vertical distribution station 11 receives all bundles with coupons of the number series D, E and F, while the other vertical distribution station 11 b receives all bundles with coupons of the number series A, B and C.
  • all bundles p are fed separate processing lines; which each receive the vouchers for one and the same number series and work in parallel and independently of one another.
  • three of the processing lines connected downstream of the distribution stations are arranged vertically one above the other, so that the entire device is clearly manageable and easily accessible.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 only schematically show the stations of the three processing lines lying one above the other, which are connected downstream of the vertical distribution station 11 a and which further process the value notes with the number series D, E and F.
  • the stations described below are therefore provided with reference numerals, to which the relevant letters D, E and F are appended.
  • the three stations downstream of the other vertical distribution station 11b for the value notes of the number series A, B, C are constructed in the same way and are therefore not shown in FIGS. 3 and 4; in Figure 4, only the reference numerals of the relevant stations are given in parentheses. Only the processing stations which are connected downstream of the vertical distribution station 11a are described below.
  • the bundles U with value coupons of the number series D, E and F are fed to the three separate buffer stores 12D, 12E and 12F.
  • Each of these buffer stores can hold a larger number of bundles of banknotes U, for example up to 1000 banknotes, as indicated for the buffer store 12d by the information D1 to Dm.
  • the notes of value are removed individually from each buffer memory and scanned by a detector, not shown, which reports the presence of a marking and controls a station 13D, 13E or 13F for eliminating the misprints.
  • the separated misprints go into a storage container 14D, 14E or 14F, while the perfect banknotes are stacked in bundles 15D, 15E or 15F into bundles V of 100 notes each.
  • banknotes of banknotes V now arise, which are free from misprints and in which 100 perfect, consecutively numbered banknotes each ner specific number series are included, as indicated for the bundle V of the number series D by the information D1 to D100.
  • bundles V are then banded in a banding station 16D, 16E or 16F. Subsequently, in a packaging station 17D, 17E or 17F, ten bundles V are stacked to form a value packet W, which is packaged and contains 1000 flawless value notes with a complete number sequence.
  • the processing stations mentioned above are of conventional construction and are known.
  • the numbering can also be carried out in such a way that the consecutively numbered security impressions lie in transverse rows in relation to the feed direction when numbering.
  • Each transverse row of a sheet then contains numbers from a specific number series.
  • the number sequence of one row of the sheet then continues in the same row of the following sheet.
  • the sheets leaving the numbering machine are cut into longitudinal strips, for example, without changing the transport direction, with circular knives of a slitter, whereupon the longitudinal strips of each sheet, like in the collecting station 7, are stacked on top of one another and a certain number of groups of strips stacked on top of one another to form a stack of strips T.
  • the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described, but rather allows for numerous variants with regard to the design and arrangement of the individual stations.
