- the processing time at each workstation and advance from one workstation to another is less than a minute.
- Figure 1 shows in different symbolic form component parts of an installation for packaging packages of tickets, according to the invention.
- the actual packing machine 100 includes a first thermoforming station 110 to form a shell of material plastic, a second 120 insertion station in the hull, using a manipulator 300, a packet of banknotes to be wrapped, posts optional 130, 140 for processing the banknote shell package before closing the packaging, a hull sealing station 150 filled with a packet of banknotes and a cutting station 160 which can be coupled to the sealing station 150.
- a packet of wrapped tickets is then taken up in a recovery tank 500 or transferred using a conveyor to another shipping or storage location.
- the packaging installation may include a first module 400 comprising a conveyor 430 for receiving banknotes individual or bundles of tickets that can come from a sorter exterior, not shown, and are introduced by various locks 401 to 405 on the conveyor 430.
- a selector module 200 receives the tickets or bundles of banknotes placed on the conveyor 430 and forms packets of banknotes ready for be gripped by a gripper of the manipulator 300.
- Figure 3 shows in side view the block diagram of the packing machine 100 proper which essentially constitutes a thermoforming set specifically adapted for packaging banknote-type objects and designed to occupy a small space while limiting residues and waste.
- the wrapper 100 includes a storage space for one reel 101 of a film 1 of thermoplastic material which constitutes a film lower from which will be formed the receiving shells of products to be packaged.
- a reel 102 of a second film 2 is provided in the part top of the machine 100 for sealing the shells filled with ticket packets, using a thin peelable element easy to open lid.
- Maintaining films 1 and 2 can be freely chosen from the different materials used in thermoforming systems for example in industry food as for the manufacture of yogurt pots by example.
- the lower film 1 is guided by deflection rollers 103 and 107 to circulate in a horizontal work plan.
- a printer 108 placed on the path of the upper film 2 allows to print a certain amount of data, such as data identification, on the parts of the upper film 2 which will constitute the lids of packaged banknotes.
- the thermoforming station 110 basically includes a bell lower 117 in which a vacuum can be created and which is vertically movable, an upper bell 116 provided with a piston 119 and a plate heater 115 movable in a horizontal plane at a predetermined distance d above the surface of the lower film 1 which is first stretched in a horizontal plane at a time when the bells 116, 117 are in the retracted position.
- the distance d is determined so that the lower film 1 undergoes the preheating required for its thermoforming, without destruction in the allotted time of the cycle.
- the heating plate 115 is in position 115A shown in dotted lines in FIG. 5.
- the heating plate 105 can alternatively be arranged in heating position in thermoforming station 110 (position 115A) and be retracted by horizontal sliding in a position which clears the space above the lower film 1 and allows a lowering of the upper bell 116 provided with its piston 119 which ensures the deformation of the preheated film 1A in cooperation with the lower bell 117 inside which the vacuum has been created and which is positioned in the high position with its opening located just under the film 1 ( Figure 4).
- a shell 11 whose shape and dimensions are adapted to those of ticket packages is ready to be advanced to the post next filling 120.
- the back and forth movements of the heating plate 115 are controlled from a motor 111 placed on a support 112 and by example of a connecting rod-crank system allowing an organ 113 integral with the heating plate 115 to slide along a tree horizontal 114 ( Figure 5).
- the lifting and lowering movement of the plate 180 and the bell lower 117 is produced from a motor 183 which allows through a motion transmission 184 to rotate a cam 182 cooperating with a roller 181 supporting the plate 180 itself held in a horizontal position by vertical arms 187, 188 sliding in parts 185, 186.
- Item 120 corresponds to a step of filling a thermoformed shell.
- the function of inserting a packet of banknotes P into a shell at the filling station 120 will be described later in relation with the description of the manipulator 300.
- Various stations 130, 140 make it possible to implement various functions, for example verification, before the shift sealing 150 where the upper film 2 superimposed on the lower film 1 is sealed on the latter under vacuum using the heating plate 155 of a upper bell 156 movable vertically and cooperating with a bell lower vacuum welding 157 also vertically movable ( Figures 4 and 9).
- the lower bell 157 is integral with the plate 180 and is subject to lifting / lowering movements from motor 183 and of a cam 182 cooperating with a roller 181 in the same way as the lower bell 117.
- the down-up movement of the 156 vacuum sealing upper bell is controlled by a rod-crank system 158 from the cam 182 rotated by the electric motor 183.
- the lifting and lowering cams 182 of the plate 180 are shaped so as to cause a movement of lesser amplitude as for the upper thermoforming bell 116.
- a sliding sole 151 supported by a fixed support 152 and serving as a fixed stripper has a surface smaller than the section of the bell 157 and makes it possible to maintain a shell 15 filled with a packet of tickets when the bell lower 157 moves in height.
- the upper film 2 is mounted on the lower film 1 according to a closed line 4 which surrounds the opening of a shell 15. It is by elsewhere made a transverse weld 3 of the upper film 2 on the film lower 1 upstream of the weld 4 in an intermediate zone between the shell during sealing 15 and the following shell 14. In this way, by a drive of the edges of the lower film 1, the width of which is greater than that of the upper film 2, it is also possible to ensure an upper film drive 2.
- the lidding station 150 may also include transverse cutting means 152, 153 associated with the upper bell 156 and the bottom bell 157 to ensure a transverse cut 5 of the set of two superimposed films 1 and 2 between the weld transverse 3 and the filled and sealed shell welded at the closed line 4. In this way, the filled and sealed shell 15 can be detached at the sealing station 150 without necessarily being redrawn at a separate cutting station such as the cutout 160 in Figure 3.
- a packaged and closed package in a shell 15 from the post 150 or a shell 16 re-cut in an independent cutting station 160 is then routed (shell 17) to a recovery tank by example by being placed on an external conveyor 109 (FIG. 3).
- the advance step by step of the lower film 1 and of the thermoformed shells from this film for switching from one workstation to another takes place at using carriages 170 located on either side of the film 1 and provided with clamps articulated 179 each capable of selectively entering a lateral edge of the film 1.
- Such carriages 170 shown in Figure 6 are designed to so as to move back and forth back and forth according to a course C corresponding to the step of advance of a hull thermoformed between the different workstations 110 to 150.
- the movement reciprocating carriage 170 can be obtained from a motor elastic 171 driving by a connecting rod-crank 172 a flail 173 including a free end is engaged between two stops 174 integral with the plate 178 and sliding on a horizontal guide 175.
- the most advanced position of plate 178 and end clamp 179 is drawn in mixed lines and identified by the letter A.
- Articulated clamps 179 that can pivot around horizontal axes 191 are driven by rods 177 controlled by a electromagnet 176.
- Fixed clamps 192 arranged at one or more workstations can selectively pinch the edges of the film lower 1 when the movable articulated clamps 179 are open and the carriages 170 are subjected to a return movement. Conversely, when the articulated movable clamps 179 are tightened on the edge of the lower film in a feed motion to pass film 1 and thermoformed shells from one workstation to another, the clamps fixed 192 are open.
- the upper film 2 is itself driven by the lower film 1 clamped in the clamps 179 due to the transverse weld 3 produced at the sealing station 150.
- a mobile clamp 179 and a fixed clamp 192 are at least needed to grab each edge of the lower film 1 but it's naturally possible to use a larger number of pliers 179 and 192, corresponding for example for each edge of the film 1 to the number of personal work places.
- Figure 6 thus shows by way of example four clamps articulated 179 mounted on a carriage 170 to selectively grab a edge of the film 1 during the advance movements of the carriage 170.
- Processing time at each workstation may be less than one minute and for example of the order of 50 s.
- the processing time is essentially conditioned by the time required preparing a stack of bundles of tickets and supply time wrapper 100 in packet or stack of banknotes.
- thermoformed shell The filling operations of a thermoformed shell and for sealing a filled thermoformed shell simultaneous with the thermoforming operation on shells previously thermoformed.

- FIGs 12 and 13 show an example of lock 405 comprising a reception box 451 fixed by means of lateral supports 452 on the frame 470 of the conveyor.
- the box of reception 451 intended to receive a bundle of banknotes L appearing on edge is open at its lower part and leads to a corridor whose bottom consists of the conveyor belt 430.
- a pivoting flap 453 is controlled by two lateral rods 454 articulated around fixed axes 458 on box 451, to selectively close box 451 halfway up and do not allow the passage of a bundle of tickets to the conveyor belt 430 only when the flap 453 and its control rods 454 are placed in the open position (references 453 and 454A shown in dotted lines in Figure 13).
- An electromagnet 456 fixed on a plate 457 controls the opening and closing of flap 453 via a leaf spring 455 acting on a horizontal bundle 459 hinged to lower ends of rods 454.
- FIG. 14 shows a view of a lock 401 intended for the automatic reception of L bundles from a sorter.
- a cell of detection 420 such as a photocell, detects the arrival of a bundle L in box 411.
- the flap 413 is then opened (passage in position 413A) under the action of rods 414 (passing into position 414A) when the electromagnet 416 receives an authorization from the central control and synchronization.
- the locks 401 to 404 have openings oriented on one side of the strip of transport 430 while the manual insertion lock 405 has a opening facing the other side of the conveyor belt 430.
- the general configuration of these locks can however be very similar.
- the elements 411 to 419 of the lock 401 of FIG. 14 correspond respectively to elements 451 to 459 of lock 405 Figures 12 and 13.
- a station 200 for selecting bundles L of banknotes and for preparing of bundles or stacks P of bundles of banknotes to be wrapped is shown in Figures 15 to 19.

This 180 ° rotation is only ordered once every two so as to alternate the positions of the loops G in the stacked bundles in the two stacking modules 220 which follow the turning device 210 and are fed by the conveyor 230 to successively or simultaneously form two stacks of bundles of tickets.
- the presence of two modules 220 allows for example ensure at the same time two stacks of bundles of banknotes of two different categories, such as new and used tickets, or valid tickets and defective tickets.
- the device 220 for forming a stack P of bundles of banknotes includes a push bar 222 associated with a mechanism for control comprising a motor 225 and transmission means for movement 226, 224 for example of the connecting rod-crank type, so that the push bar 222 performs back and forth movements of on either side of the conveyor belt 233 of the conveyor 230 on which bundles of banknotes L arrive in a vertical position.
- a retractable rod 244 makes it possible to constitute a stop stop for a bundle when it has to be stacked in the first module for stacking device 220.
- Vertical rear stop rods 221 are associated with elastic return means 228, 229 (FIGS. 17 to 19) and can slide in lights 245 formed in a support plate stacking.
- Fixed retractable lower latches 243 are located at the neighborhood of the transfer conveyor 230 for retaining the stacked bundle L Lastly. Swivel upper claws 223 act in the same vertical plane than that of the fixed lower latches 243 to retain at front the upper part of the last stack stacked.
- a front horizontal guide 241 constituted by a rod associated with control levers provides lateral guidance for a bundle of banknotes placed on edge on the conveyor belt 233 of the conveyor 230 in parallel with the push bar 222 (figure 17).
- the latches lower 243 go up and the pivoting claws 293 switch back towards the bottom to retain the last bundle and thus the entire stack P against vertical rods 221 ( Figure 19).
- the stopper bundle 222 can then return to its original position and the horizontal guide 241 can also be then lowered to piece together the configuration of the Figure 17 ready to receive a new stack to stack.
- a manipulator 300 equipped with a clamp 310 can pick up a packet of P tickets to deposit it in a thermoformed shell 12 of the filling station 120 of the wrapper 100.
