  • This deduction Separating device usually has one Take-off roller, which in an opening in a Stack end face parallel end wall of the container engages and the top sheet of the stack in one between a transport roller and one Wiper roller formed nip leads.
  • Such Device such as that described in DE 44 08 981 described, but is only suitable for removing Single sheets from the tray. Orderly feeding and dropping leaves in the container is not possible.
  • the invention has for its object a device specify, with the help of optional single sheets, which in stored in a container in the form of a stack of sheets are issued individually or the container individually fed to form a stack of sheets in the container can be:
  • the blade slide preferably has at least one on one axis eccentrically mounted to the stack end face Engaging member.
  • This has the advantage that the drive of the Leaf slide can be a rotary actuator that is easier to use realizing is as the drive for a back and forth moving element.
  • Such an eccentrically mounted Engagement element can for example in the form of a Segment roller be formed, which only in its circulation during the part of the Orbital circuit comes into contact with the surface of the blade.
  • the center distance of the engagement element from the Stack end surface can be dimensioned so that Engagement element a light pressure on the stack end surface is exercised by that forming the stack end surface Single sheet of the one containing the passage opening Container wall is raised slightly, making it easier pulled out behind the second edges or behind them can be inserted.
  • the leaf slider and the transport rollers are preferred together with the drive means on a frame arranged, into which the container can be inserted.
  • the container structure is simplified.
  • the container needed just a flap, which the Passage closes as long as the container is outside the frame, and that when inserted the container is opened automatically, as is the case with Cassettes for ATMs are known per se.
  • the transport rollers each have a plurality of one another have coaxial, axially spaced rollers, the Roll one roller each in the axial direction between the roles of the other rollers. This creates a - viewed in the axial direction - slightly more meandering Nip, which ensures a secure engagement of the rollers with the Ensure leaf surface.
  • the transport rollers are preferably arranged such that the axes of the two transport rollers in one Stack end surface perpendicular and to the second edges parallel plane.
  • Figure 1 with 10 is a slide-in frame for one cuboid-shaped container 12 designated for receiving a stack 14 (Figure 2) of single sheets (16) is used.
  • the frame 10 is part of a device for output and Acceptance of single sheets, especially banknotes. From the frame 10, only one side wall 18 can be seen via a shelf 20 with a second Side wall 18 parallel side wall, not shown connected is.
  • rollers 22, 24 Between the two side walls 18 of the frame 10 extend two transport rollers 22, 24, each from a shaft 26 and there are arranged rollers 28.
  • the rollers 28 on the respective shaft 26 have an axial distance from each other, the rollers 28 of the transport roller 22nd compared to the rollers 28 of the transport roller 24 axially so are offset that the transport rollers 28 of a roller between the rollers 28 of the other transport roller intervention.
  • the shaft 26 of the transport roller 24 is driven by a motor 30 driven and in turn drives a gear 32 and a rotatably with the shaft 26 of the transport roller 22 connected gear 34 to the transport roller 22.
  • a Leaf slide arranged in the form of a segment roller 36, the one to the shafts 26 of the transport rollers 22 and 24 parallel shaft 38 and a plurality thereon has arranged segment rollers 40.
  • the shaft 38 of the Segment roller 36 is coupled to a motor 42.
  • she could also have a suitable gearbox with the Drive motor 30 for the transport rollers 22, 24 coupled his.

  • the container 12 has a bottom 44, a top surface 46 and Side walls 48 and on its transport mechanism 22, 24 facing end face a passage opening 50. Die Dimension of the passage opening 50 parallel to the Direction of the shafts 26 is equal to the distance of the Side walls 48. From the bottom 44 and the top surface 46 on the other hand, an edge web 52 or 54 extends behind up or down so that the dimension of the Passage opening 50 perpendicular to the bottom 44 smaller than the distance between the bottom 44 and top surface 46 of the Container. These edge webs 52 and 54 therefore hold the Sheet stack 14 back in the container 12, the Sheet stack 14 with its stack end surface 56 through a schematically shown pressure device 58 against the Edge bars 52 and 54 is pressed. A the The flap that closes the passage opening is just as little shown as the rear end of the container 12 since these parts are of no importance for the present invention to have.

  • the single sheet is from the transport rollers 22 and 24 retracted and along the guide surface 64 in the gap between the segment roller 36 and the stack end surface 56 inserted.
  • the pressure device 58th by a drive motor 55, the output pinion 57 with a toothed rack, slightly back (i.e. in Figures 2 and 3 to the right), so that the End of stack surface 56 only loosely at edge webs 52 and 54 is applied. Then the sheet can easily go behind the bottom Edge web 52 are pushed. With further rotation of the Forms transport roller against the direction of arrow B.
  • the leaf again a little bump before being Trailing end towards the stack end surface 56 turns and slides behind the upper edge web 54.
  • the pressing force of the pressing device 58 is increased again. If the transport roller 22 from individual axially spaced Rolls can be inserted into the sheets Container 12 can still be relieved if the upper Edge web 54 is formed like a comb and with the Comb teeth grips between the rollers. It can also Surface of the rollers of the transport roller 22 with small radial teeth are provided, which has the entrainment effect improve.
  • the deduction and separating device is extremely simple in its structure and by simple Reversal of direction of rotation for both pulling and the feeding of single sheets can be used the cut sheets also being fed to the container neatly stacked.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de distribuer et/ou de recevoir des feuillets individuels (16), qui comprend un récipient parallélépipédique (12) dans lequel les feuillets individuels (16) sont stockés sous forme de pile de feuilles (14) et sont comprimés à l'aide d'un dispositif de compression (58) contre une paroi du récipient, parallèle à une surface terminale de la pile (56), ladite paroi comportant une ouverture de passage (50) rectangulaire avec de premiers bords dont l'écart mutuel est sensiblement égal à une première longueur d'arête des feuillets individuels (16), ainsi qu'avec de seconds bords (52, 54) dont l'écart mutuel est inférieur à l'autre longueur d'arête des feuillets individuels (16). Le dispositif comprend également un tiroir à feuillets (36) destiné à entrer dans l'ouverture de passage (50) et déterminé pour s'appliquer sur la surface terminale de la pile (56), qui sert à faire glisser un feuillet individuel (16) parallèlement à la surface terminale de la pile (56) et perpendiculairement aux deux bords (52, 54), deux rouleaux de transport (22, 24) montés avec des arbres (26) orientés parallèlement à la surface terminale de la pile (56) et aux seconds bords (52, 54) et qui forment un espace entre les rouleaux, prévu pour prendre un feuillet individuel (16). Un des rouleaux de transport (22, 24) est disposé à proximité d'un des deux bords (52, 54), de sorte à se trouver, vu perpendiculairement à la surface terminale de la pile (56), au moins en partie dans l'ouverture de passage (50). Ledit dispositif comprend en outre des moyens d'entraînement (42, 30) pour entraîner le tiroir à feuillets (36) et les rouleaux de transport (22, 24).
