This is preferably achieved by mounting the measuring element 63 on the first side 11 of the board 1 (see FIG. 1), for example on a printed circuit board 82.1-82.3.
  • the approach element 64 thus transmits a mechanical signal from the corresponding module to the plate 1; Only on the plate 1 is the mechanical signal converted into an electrical signal. Contamination of the mechanical scanning elements 62.1-62.5 does not impair the function of the robust position sensor 60.
  • FIGS. 15 and 17 show the position sensor 60 in a rest position, in which there is no object 100 resembling a security at the measuring point 65, for example in the region of the rollers 552, 554.
  • the measuring element 63 is in a first state; In this exemplary embodiment, the light path 632 of the light barrier is not interrupted.
  • FIG. 16 shows the position sensor 60 in a deflection position, in which an object 100 resembling a security is located at the measuring point 65.
  • the measuring element 63 is in a second state; it is Z. B. the light path 632 of the light barrier is interrupted by the proximity element 64, and the output signal of the measuring element 63 is different than in the first state.
  • a pushing back moment acts on the scanning elements 62.1-62.5; As soon as the security-like object 100 is removed from the measuring point 65, the position sensor returns to the rest position of FIGS. 15 and 17.
  • FIG. 18 Another aspect of the invention relates to an intake or separation unit for the note-like objects 100.1, 100.2, ...
  • a feeder unit with which the input and separation module 31 is provided is, in Figures 18 and 19 in the longitudinal or cross section shown.
  • Security-like items e.g. B. banknotes 100.3, 100.4, ... lie as a stack on an input ramp 380. They are pressed by a pressing force F A against, preferably several, insertion rollers 382.1-382.4 located at the height of the banknotes 100.1, 100.2, ...; the pressure force F A can be generated by its own mechanism or by gravity.
  • the foremost banknote 100.1 is accelerated by the insertion rollers 382.1-382.4 driven by an insertion shaft 381 by means of sliding or static friction in the direction of preferably several transport rollers 384.1-384.4.
  • the transport rollers 384.1-384.4 are driven by a transport shaft 383 and, like in the transport unit of FIGS. 13 and 14, interact with pressure rollers 386.1-386.4.
  • the pressure rollers 386.1-386.4 are movably suspended and they act on driving forces F R in the direction of the transport rollers 384.1-384.4; the restoring forces F R are preferably generated by the mechanism described on the occasion of FIGS.
  • the feed unit is preferably with several, in essential standing, non-rotating retention rollers 388.1-388.4. These are located on a retaining shaft 387 and become sporadic or continuous but very slow (compared to the rotation speed of the Transport rollers 384.1-384.4) rotated to wear on one side Avoid surface.
  • the retention rollers 388.1-388.4 usually prevent by sliding or static friction that, in addition to a first banknote 100.1, a second (and further) banknote 100.2 is drawn.
  • the Retaining rollers and the transport rollers are mutually offset, and only those Pinch rollers face the feed rollers (such as in Fig. 14). This causes a drawn banknote to curl in the z direction, which is a considerable Disadvantage in the subsequent processing functions such as transport or reading means. It also happens from time to time that undesirably several banknotes are drawn in simultaneously.
  • each retaining roller 388.1-388.4 is opposite a transport roller 384.1-384.4.
  • the distance a between the retention rollers 388.1-388.4 and the transport rollers 384.1-384.4 must be set fairly precisely to the banknote thickness d, ie in any case the following must apply: d ⁇ a ⁇ 2d.
  • a pressure roller of a first transport roller and subsequently a retaining roller is opposite a second transport roller.
  • more or less than four Push-in, transport, pressure or retention rollers are available.
  • FIG . 20 shows how an embodiment of the device can look from the outside.
  • the device is surrounded by a housing 9.
  • the input compartment 311 and, for example, two output compartments 361.1, 361.2 are visible from the outside.
  • An operating unit 90 can be provided for communication with a user.
  • the operating unit 90 can include an input unit, for example a screen or an LCD display, and / or an output unit, for example a keyboard.
  • the input and output unit are combined and designed as a screen 91 (touch screen) which reacts to touch.
