Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement in an automatic document-handling machine for transporting of valuable documents, such as banknotes, cheques, etc.
  • the arrangement is of the kind which includes, among other things, a first transportation path for the transportation of valuable documents in a first part of the automatic document-handling machine, a second transportation path for transporting valuable documents in a second part of said machine, and a gripping device for moving valuable documents from the first transportation path to the second transportation path and which includes a firmly mounted but rotating drive device and a moveably mounted, relay-activated device which co-rotates with the drive device when in engagement therewith.
  • the gripping device includes a relay (solenoid) which in the transportation of banknotes from the first transportation path to the second transportation path is operative to bring two transportation rollers to a position of mutual coaction such as to change the direction of transportation of a banknote located between the rollers, namely from transportation in the length direction of the banknote (one short side first) to transportation at right angles to the long axis of the banknote (one long side first).
  • the relay activation period is adapted so that the rollers will remain active over a period of time of sufficient duration to ensure that the banknote will be transported to the second transportation path.
  • DE-A-3 422 739, GB-A-2 195 617, DE-A-1 436 061 and EP-A-0 346 220 relate to arrangements for transporting documents separately along one single path and, hence, fail to show any relay-operated gripping device for transferring documents from one transportation path to another.
  • An object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid drawback.
  • the relay is constructed to adopt an inactive state at the time when movement of a banknote from the first to the second transportation path takes place, and to return to an active state when the co-rotating device has rotated through one revolution.
  • the co-rotating device is arranged to be moved towards the drive device as the relay switches from its active state to its inactive state, such that a predetermined part of the circumference of said co-rotating device will engage the drive device.
  • the co-rotating device is arranged to steer movement of the relay armature during the transition of the relay from its inactive to its active state, as said co-rotating device moves and rotates.
  • the gripping device illustrated in Figure 1 includes a firmly mounted but rotatable drive device 10, a moveably mounted, relay-activated device 11 which rotates together with the drive device 10 during a working function, a relay 12 having a moveable armature 121 which is attached to one end of a lever arm 111 which carries the co-rotating device 11 and the bottom end of which is actuable by a draw spring 112, and a latching device 13 which includes a moveably mounted and spring-activated latching arm 131.
  • banknote S Located between the drive device 10 and the co-rotating device 11 is a banknote S which is held in position between the devices 10 and 11 while being transported in a first transportation path perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing, by means of bands or rollers, not shown.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the functional state of the arrangement at precisely that moment when the gripping device illustrated in Figure 1 has received a signal to the effect that the banknote S shall be moved from the first transportation path to a second transportation path in the dispenser.
  • supply current to the relay 12 has been interrupted, the lever arm 111 together with the armature 121 and the co-rotating device 11 has been rotated clockwise about the lever arm axis 1110 and clockwise rotation of the drive device 10 has been initiated.
  • the banknote S has reached the position in which its centrepoint is located opposite to the devices 10-11, during movement of said banknote at right angles to the plane of the drawing.
  • the banknote S will be moved downwards, as a result of the mutual coaction between the devices 10 and 11.
  • the drive device 10 has a circular, outer peripheral surface (drive surface), whereas the co-rotating device 11 has an arcuate outer surface which extends through an angle of arc of about 190° of its periphery and an outer surface of continually varying radius around the remaining approximately 170° of its periphery.
  • the co-rotating device 11 has just come into contact with the banknote S and the drive device 10 at that part of the outer surface of the co-rotating device which has the smallest centre-radius.
  • the device During movement of the co-rotating device 11 from the position shown in Figure 3 to the position shown in Figure 1, the device is out of contact with the drive device 10 during about the last half of its movement; it is the kinetic energy prevailing in said device which ensures completion of this movement.
  • Current is again supplied to the coil of the relay 12 (this occurs approximately in the operational state shown in Figure 3), the drive device 10 is stopped and the gripping device is again in its rest position in readiness to receive a further impulse for movement of the next banknote.
  • the co-rotating device 11 can be provided with an arcuate outer surface which extends around about 40° of its periphery nearest one side of the flat peripheral surface which includes an angle of about 50°, and with an outer surface containing an angle of about 270° with a continuously increasing radius in a region extending from the other side of the flat surface (minimum radius) to the circular surface.
