Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Vorrichtungen und ein Verfahren zum Einstempeln von Blattgut in eine Kassette.The invention relates to devices and a method for stamping sheet material in a cassette.

Solche Vorrichtungen und ein solches Verfahren sind beispielsweise aus der US 3,655,186 bekannt. Eine Kassette, in die Banknoten abgelegt werden, hat dabei eine obere Gehäusewand mit einer Durchgangsöffnung in der Mitte, durch welche die Banknoten mittels eines Stempels in das Kassettengehäuse hinein gegen eine in der Kassette gefedert gelagerte Grundplatte gedrückt werden. Die eingestempelten Banknoten werden durch den die Durchgangsöffnung umgebenden Rand der oberen Gehäusewand, der als Niederhalter dient, im Kassetteninnern zurückgehalten. Der Stempel hat dabei als Stempelfläche, die auf die Banknoten drückt, eine Stempelplatte, deren Abmessungen etwas geringer als die Abmessungen der Durchgangsöffnung der oberen Kassettenwand sind, durch welche die Banknoten in die Kassette eingestempelt werden.Such devices and such a method are known for example from US 3,655,186. In this case, a cassette in which banknotes are deposited has an upper housing wall with a passage opening in the middle, through which the banknotes are pressed by means of a punch into the cassette housing against a base plate which is spring-mounted in the cassette. The stamped banknotes are retained by the surrounding the passage opening edge of the upper housing wall, which serves as a hold-down inside the cassette. The stamp has as a stamp surface, which presses on the banknotes, a stamp plate whose dimensions are slightly smaller than the dimensions of the passage opening of the upper cassette wall, through which the banknotes are stamped into the cassette.

Ein Nachteil des bekannten Systems ist es, daß die Durchgangsöffnung der Kassette immer kleiner als die kleinste einzustempelnde Banknote sein muß, damit diese nicht wieder durch die angefedert gelagerte Grundplatte aus der Kassette herausgedrückt wird.A disadvantage of the known system is that the passage opening of the cassette must always be smaller than the smallest banknote to be stamped, so that it is not pressed out again by the spring-mounted base plate from the cassette.

Je kleiner die Durchgangsöffnung allerdings ist, um so tiefer muß der Stempel in das Kassetteninnere hinein gedrückt werden, um auch noch die größeren Banknoten unter Deformation durch die Durchgangsöffnung vollständig in die Kassette einbringen zu können. Deshalb kann nur ein beschränkter Raumbereich im Kassetteninnern zum tatsächlichen Abstapeln von Banknoten verwendet werden kann.However, the smaller the passage opening is, the deeper the punch must be pressed into the inside of the cassette, in order to be able to fully insert even the larger bank notes under deformation through the passage opening into the cassette. Therefore, only a limited space inside the cassette can be used for actually destacking banknotes.

Weiterhin ist es bei diesem bekannten System prinzipiell notwendig, daß die einzustempelnden Banknoten auf der oberen Kassettenwand frei aufliegen, damit diese sich durch ein Drücken des Stempels auf den mittleren Bereich der obersten Banknote an den Randbereichen hochwölben und durch die Durchgangsöffnung ins Kassetteninnere gedrückt werden können. Wenn allerdings ein Stapel von mehreren Banknoten eingestempelt werden soll, kann dieser eventuell kippen, falls die Banknoten unterschiedlicher Abmessung im Stapel zu ungleich verteilt sind, und eine geordnete Ablage der Banknoten in der Kassette verhindern.Furthermore, it is in principle necessary in this known system that the banknotes to be stamped rest freely on the upper cassette wall, so that they arch up by pressing the stamp on the central region of the top banknote at the edge regions and can be pushed through the passage opening into the cassette interior. However, if a stack of several banknotes is to be stamped, it may eventually tip over if the banknotes of differing dimensions in the stack are too unevenly distributed and prevent orderly placement of the banknotes in the cassette.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, Vorrichtungen und ein Verfahren zum Einstempeln von Blattgut in eine Kassette bereitzustellen, mit denen die oben genannten, sich aus dem bekannten Konzept zwangsläufig ergebenden Nachteile vermieden werden können.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide devices and a method for stamping sheet material into a cassette with which the abovementioned disadvantages, which inevitably result from the known concept, can be avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Stempel nach Anspruch 1, die Einstempelvorrichtung nach Anspruch 4, der Niederhalter nach Anspruch 10, die Kassette nach Anspruch 12 und das Verfahren nach Anspruch 14 gelöst. Die weiteren Ansprüche beschreiben vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen.This object is achieved by the stamp of claim 1, the stamping apparatus of claim 4, the blank holder of claim 10, the cassette of claim 12 and the method of claim 14. The further claims describe advantageous embodiments.

Die vorliegende Erfindung basiert auf der Kenntnis, daß die Stempelfläche eines Stempels, die eine oder mehrere Aussparungen und/oder Durchgangsöffnungen aufweist, wesentlich größere Abmessungen als beim bekannten System haben kann und damit ein sicheres und das Innere der Kassette effektiv zum Blattgutstapeln ausnutzendes Einstempeln erlaubt.The present invention is based on the knowledge that the punch surface of a punch having one or more recesses and / or through holes may have substantially larger dimensions than in the known system, thereby allowing a safe and effective stamping inside the cartridge to be used.

Während der bekannte Stempel aus den vorstehend genannten Gründen immer kleiner als das kleinste einzustempelnde Blatt des Blattguts sein muß, ist diese Beschränkung bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung aufgehoben und der Stempel kann durchaus größere Abmessungen haben, die z.B. sogar größer als das größste einzustempelnde Blatt sind. Ein weiterer grundlegender Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht folglich auch darin, daß die Kassette eine Öffnung aufweisen kann, die größer als das kleinste einzustempelnde Blattgut ist.While the known stamp for the reasons mentioned above must always be smaller than the smallest einzustempelnde sheet of the sheet material, this restriction is lifted in an embodiment of the invention and the stamp may well have larger dimensions, for example, even larger than the largest einzustempelnde sheet. Consequently, another basic aspect of the present invention is also that the cassette may have an opening which is larger than the smallest sheet material to be stamped.

Um ein Herausquellen der mit einem solchen erfindungsgemäßen Stempel eingestempelten Blätter durch die Kassettenöffnung zu verhindern, wird bevorzugt ein Niederhalter nach dem Einstempeln der Blätter in die Kassette hineingeschoben, um die Blätter in der Kassette zurückzuhalten. Der Niederhalter wird besonders bevorzugt eine Fingerstruktur aufweisen.In order to prevent the sheets stamped out with such a punch according to the invention from escaping through the cassette opening, a hold-down device is preferably pushed into the cassette after the sheets have been stamped in order to retain the sheets in the cassette. The hold-down device will particularly preferably have a finger structure.

Weil ein solcher Niederhalter beim Einstempelvorgang selber keinen oder nur einen geringen Platz im Kassetteninnern beansprucht und folglich der Wirkbereich des Stempels nicht durch den Niederhalter vermindert wird, kann der Stempel größer als bei dem bekannten Fall sein, in dem die Stempelgröße durch den stets als Bestandteil der Kassette vorhandenen Niederhalter eingeschränkt ist.Because such a hold-down during the stamping process itself no or only a small space inside the cassette claimed and consequently the effective range of the punch is not reduced by the hold-down, the punch may be larger than in the known case in which the stamp size by always as part of Cassette existing hold-down is limited.

Durch einen ein- und ausfahrbaren Niederhalter ist es zudem zum ersten Mal ermöglicht, daß die Blätter, unabhängig von ihrer Größe, ohne Deformation in eine Kassette eingebracht werden können, wodurch eine Beschädigung der Blätter besonders sicher vermieden werden kann. Zusätzlich braucht der Stempel deswegen auch wesentlich weniger tief in die Kassette zum Einstempeln in die Kassette einzudringen, wodurch der effektiv zum Abstapeln nutzbare Bereich in der Kassette signifikant vergrößert wird.By a retractable and retractable hold-down, it is also possible for the first time that the sheets, regardless of their size, can be introduced without deformation in a cassette, whereby damage to the leaves can be safely avoided. In addition, therefore, the stamp also needs to penetrate much less deeply into the cassette for stamping into the cassette, thereby significantly increasing the effective area for destacking in the cassette.

Ferner schafft die erfindungsgemäße Form eines Stempels mit Aussparung bzw. Durchgangsöffnung die Voraussetzung dafür, die Blätter durch ein Klemmelement zur Sicherung eines geordneten Stempelvorgangs auch in der Einstempelposition festhalten bzw. festklemmen zu können, aus der sie mittels eines Stempels in die Kassette eingestempelt werden.Furthermore, the inventive form of a punch with recess or through hole creates the prerequisite for holding the sheets by a clamping element for securing an orderly stamping operation in the Einstempelposition or to be able to clamp from which they are stamped by means of a punch in the cassette.

Hierzu werden die Aussparungen bzw. Durchgangsöffnungen des Stempels vorteilhafterweise so ausgestaltet sein, daß der Stempel an dem Klemmelement vorbei, bzw. das Klemmelement in seinen Aussparungen aufnehmend, auf die einzustempelnden Blätter drücken kann, welche durch das Klemmelement festgehalten werden.For this purpose, the recesses or through holes of the punch are advantageously designed so that the stamp on the clamping element over, or the clamping element in its recesses receiving, can press on the einzustempelnden sheets, which are held by the clamping element.

Besonders bevorzugt wird das Klemmelement, das z.B. einen oder mehrere starr miteinander verbundene Klemmfingern umfaßt, die von oben auf den Blattgutstapel drücken, ein Bestandteil einer Stapelträgereinheit sein, auf der die einzustempelnden Blätter gestapelt und zur Einstempelposition hin transportiert werden, wie es im Detail in der noch nicht veröffentlichten Anmeldung DE 10121835.4 der Anmelderin beschrieben ist.Particularly preferred is the clamping element, e.g. includes one or more rigidly interconnected clamping fingers that press from the top of the sheet stack, be a part of a stack carrier unit on which the sheets to be stamped and stacked transported to the punching position, as described in detail in the not yet published application DE 10121835.4 of the Applicant is described.

Besonders bevorzugt wird die Stempelfläche kardanisch aufgehängt sein. Dies bedeutet, daß die Stempelfläche nicht starr in der Ebene senkrecht zur Stempelrichtung, sondern in Bezug zu dieser Ebene um einen Aufhängepunkt bzw. eine Aufhängeachse frei gelagert ist, damit die Stempelfläche sich der Form des Blattgutstapels, den sie einstempelt bzw. zusammendrückt, anpassen und diesen damit sicherer Einstempeln und/oder zusammendrücken kann. Diese Variante ist auch unabhängig von der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung mit Aussparung bzw. Durchgangsöffnung vorteilhaft anwendbar.Particularly preferably, the stamp surface will be gimballed. This means that the stamping surface is not rigidly mounted in the plane perpendicular to the stamping direction, but in relation to this plane about a suspension point or a suspension axis, so that the stamping surface, the shape of the stack of sheet material, which it compresses or compresses, adapt and this safer stamping and / or can squeeze. This variant is also advantageous regardless of the embodiment of the invention with recess or through hole advantageously applicable.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen näher erläutert und beschrieben. Dabei zeigen die

The invention will be explained and described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The show

  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a stamp according to a further embodiment.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung 1 zum Einstempeln von Banknoten 2 in eine Kassette 3 veranschaulicht. Die Vorrichtung 1 kann z.B. in einem Geldautomaten mit einer Einzahlfunktion für Banknoten verwendet werden, wie er in der DE 10121835.4 beschrieben ist. Banknoten 2 werden dabei mit Hilfe eines Stempels 4 durch eine Öffnung 5 in der Oberseite der Kassette 3 in diese hinein und gegen eine darunter befindliche, gefedert gelagerte Grundplatte 6 gedrückt und gestapelt abgelegt.FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a first embodiment of a device 1 for stamping banknotes 2 into a cassette 3. The device 1 may e.g. be used in an ATM with a deposit function for banknotes, as described in DE 10121835.4. Banknotes 2 are thereby pressed by means of a punch 4 through an opening 5 in the top of the cassette 3 in this and against an underlying, sprung mounted base plate 6 and stored stacked.

Die Vorrichtung 1 ist insbesondere durch die Struktur des Stempels 4 und eines Niederhalters 9 ausgezeichnet, der zum Festhalten der eingestempelten Banknoten 2 in einem vorgegebenen Raumbereich der Kassette 3 dient.The device 1 is particularly distinguished by the structure of the punch 4 and a hold-down 9, which serves for holding the stamped banknotes 2 in a predetermined space region of the cassette 3.

Im Speziellen ist der Stempel 4 als ein Scherenstempel 4 ausgestaltet, der in der Höhe durch das Bewegen einer scherenartigen Befestigung verfahren werden kann, die an seiner Oberseite befestigt ist. Insbesondere weist der Stempel 4 in seiner Unterseite exemplarisch zwei Aussparungen 8 auf, die parallel zueinander und senkrecht zur Blattebene der Figur 2 verlaufen. Der Niederhalter 9 hat, etwa in der Form einer Gabel, zwei starr an einem Endbereich befestigte Niederhalterstangen 9 und ist durch einen nicht dargestellten elektromotorischen Antrieb im Bereich der Öffnung 5 der Kassette 3 in diese horizontal ein- und ausfahrbar. Der Abstand der beiden Aussparungen 8, bzw. der Niederhalterstangen 9 voneinander ist so gewählt, daß jeweils eine Niederhalterstange 9 in eine der Aussparungen 8 des Stempels 4 eingreifen kann.Specifically, the punch 4 is configured as a scissors punch 4, which can be moved in height by moving a scissor-type attachment attached to its top. In particular, the punch 4 has in its underside an example of two recesses 8, which run parallel to each other and perpendicular to the page plane of Figure 2. The hold-down 9 has, approximately in the form of a fork, two fixedly secured to an end region hold-down rods 9 and is by an unillustrated electric motor drive in the region of the opening 5 of the cassette 3 in this horizontally on and extendable. The distance between the two recesses 8, and the hold-down rods 9 from each other is chosen so that in each case a hold-down rod 9 can engage in one of the recesses 8 of the punch 4.

Durch das Ein- und Ausfahren der Niederhalter ist es möglich, daß die Kassettenöffnung 5 in etwa einen Querschnitt hat, der dem des Abstapelbereiches in der Kassette entspricht, wodurch die Banknoten 2 ohne Verbiegung eingestempelt werden können.By extending and retracting the hold-down, it is possible that the cassette opening 5 has approximately a cross section corresponding to that of the Abstapelbereiches in the cassette, whereby the banknotes 2 can be stamped without bending.

Weiterhin ist die Kassettenöffnung 5 durch einen Deckel 7 verschließbar, der in seiner Unterseite zwei Aussparungen 10 hat, die im Bezug zueinander den gleichen Abstand wie die Niederhalterstangen 9 haben.Furthermore, the cassette opening 5 is closed by a cover 7, which has two recesses 10 in its underside, which have the same distance as the hold-down rods 9 with respect to each other.

Zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens nach einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Vorrichtung nach den Figuren 1 und 2 wie folgt verwendet.For carrying out the method according to the invention according to a first embodiment, the device according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is used as follows.

Die Ausgangssituation zu Beginn eines Einzahlvorgangs, bei dem in den Geldautomaten eingegebene Banknoten 2 in der Kassette 3 abgelegt werden sollen, ist die Folgende: Der Deckel 7 der Kassette 3 ist geöffnet, um die Kassettenöffnung 5 freizugeben. Zudem sind die Niederhalterstangen 9 im Bereich der Kassettenöffnung 5 seitlich in die Kassette 3 hinein verfahren, um ein Heraustreten von bereits in der Kassette 3 befindlichen Banknoten 2 zu verhindern. Über ein nicht dargestelltes Transportsystem werden die einzustempelnden Banknoten 2 nun einzeln oder gebündelt zur Einstempelposition oberhalb der Kassettenöffnung 5 transportiert und dort auf den Niederhalterstangen 9 abgelegt. Dieser Zustand ist in der Figur 1 a) veranschaulicht.The initial situation at the beginning of a deposit operation, in which banknotes 2 entered in the ATM are to be deposited in the cassette 3, is the following: The lid 7 of the cassette 3 is opened to release the cassette opening 5. In addition, the hold-down rods 9 are moved laterally in the region of the cassette opening 5 into the cassette 3, in order to prevent a coming out of banknotes 2 already in the cassette 3. About an unillustrated transport system to be stamped banknotes 2 now individually or bundled transported to the stamping position above the cassette opening 5 and stored there on the hold-down rods 9. This state is illustrated in FIG. 1 a).

Anschließend wird der Stempel 4 die auf den Niederhalterstangen 9 ruhenden Banknoten 2 leicht andrücken, dann der Niederhalter 9 seitlich aus der Kassette 3 herausgezogen und die Banknoten 2 vollständig in die Kassette 3 durch den Stempel 4 eingedrückt, wie es in der Figur 1 b) zu erkennen ist.Subsequently, the punch 4 will slightly press the banknotes 2 resting on the hold-down rods 9, then the hold-down 9 will laterally be pulled out of the cassette 3 and the banknotes 2 will be pressed completely into the cassette 3 by the punch 4 as shown in FIG recognize.

Im nächsten Schritt werden die Niederhalterstangen 9 in die Aussparungen 8 der sich jetzt im Kassetteninnern befindlichen Stempelfläche des Stempels 4 eingefahren. Dieser Zustand ist aus den Figur 1 c) und 2 ersichtlich.In the next step, the hold-down rods 9 are retracted into the recesses 8 of the now located in the cartridge interior stamp surface of the punch 4. This state can be seen in FIGS. 1 c) and 2.

Schließlich wird, wie es in der Figur 1 d) dargestellt ist, der Stempel 4 wieder nach oben aus der Kassettenöffnung 5 heraus geschoben. Da die Niederhalter 9 sich dabei in ihrer aktiven Position im Innern der Kassette 3 befinden, wird ein unerwünschtes Heraustreten der Banknoten 2 verhindert.Finally, as shown in FIG. 1 d), the punch 4 is again pushed upwards out of the cassette opening 5. Since the hold-down device 9 are in their active position in the interior of the cassette 3, an unwanted emergence of the banknotes 2 is prevented.

Auf die gleiche Art und Weise können anschließend weitere Banknoten 2 einzeln oder gebündelt eingestempelt werden. Wenn die Kassette 3 schließlich ausgetauscht werden soll, wird vor der Herausnahme der Kassette 3 aus dem Geldautomaten diese wieder verschlossen, indem der Deckel 7 auf die Kassettenöffnung 5 geschoben wird, wobei die Niederhalterstangen 9 in die Aussparungen 10 des Deckels 7 eingreifen. Danach werden die Niederhalterstangen 9 aus der Kassette 3 herausgezogen und diese automatisch verriegelt.In the same way then further banknotes 2 can be stamped individually or bundled. When the cassette 3 is finally to be exchanged, the cassette 3 is again closed from the ATM before it is removed by sliding the lid 7 onto the cassette opening 5, the holding-down bars 9 engaging in the recesses 10 of the lid 7. Thereafter, the hold-down rods 9 are pulled out of the cassette 3 and this automatically locked.

Bevorzugt wird dabei in dem Geldautomaten nicht nur eine nachfolgend zu befüllende Kassette, sondern zumindest eine weitere Reservekassette vorhanden sein. So können z.B. zwei Kassetten der vorstehend beschriebenen Art auf einem Drehteller lösbar montiert sein. Durch Drehen des Drehtellers um 180° kann dabei entweder die eine oder die andere Kassette mit ihrer oberen Öffnung in Ausrichtung mit einem Transportsystem zum Antransport der einzustempelnden Blätter gebracht werden.Preferably, in the ATM not only a subsequently to be filled cassette, but at least one additional reserve cassette will be present. Thus, e.g. two cassettes of the type described above to be detachably mounted on a turntable. By turning the turntable by 180 ° can either one or the other cassette with its upper opening in alignment with a transport system for transporting the einzustempelnden sheets are brought.

Ein Stempel 4' nach einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel ist in der perspektivischen Ansicht der Fig. 3 abgebildet.A stamp 4 'according to a further embodiment is shown in the perspective view of FIG. 3.

Der Stempel 4' besteht u.a. aus einem horizontalen Gestellarm 11, an dessen Unterseite sechs einzelne Stempelelemente 12 beabstandet voneinander befestigt sind. Der Gestellarm 11 mit den Stempelelementen 12 ist dabei entlang einer Führung 15 motorisch angetrieben in der Höhe H verfahrbar. Die Stempelelemente 12 haben jeweils eine Aussparung 13, wodurch sie einen Querschnitt in der Form eines umgedrehten U aufweisen. Die effektiv wirksame Stempelfläche ist in diesem Fall durch die gesamte von den einzelnen U-Schenkel der Stempelelemente 12 aufgespannte Fläche gegeben.The stamp 4 'is u.a. from a horizontal frame arm 11, on the underside of which six individual stamp elements 12 are mounted at a distance from each other. The frame arm 11 with the stamp elements 12 is driven along a guide 15 driven by the motor H in height. The stamp members 12 each have a recess 13, thereby having a cross section in the shape of an inverted U. The effectively effective stamp surface is given in this case by the entire surface spanned by the individual U-legs of the stamp members 12.

Der Stempel 4' kann z.B. in einer Vorrichtung ähnlich zu der der Figuren 1 und 2 eingesetzt werden, wobei die Vorrichtung in diesem Fall bevorzugt sechs Niederhalterstangen umfassen wird, die in die Aussparungen 13 der Stempelelemente 12 eingreifen können. Um den Stempel 4'auch in unterschiedlichen Einstempelvorrichtungen flexibel verwenden zu können, sind die einzelnen Stempelelemente 12 vorteilhaft jeweils an unterschiedlichen Stellen des Gestellarms 11 fixierbar, um den Abstand von benachbarten Stempelelementen 12 zueinander variieren zu können.The punch 4 'can be used, for example, in a device similar to that of FIGS. 1 and 2, the device in this case preferably comprising six hold-down rods which can engage in the recesses 13 of the punch elements 12. To the stamp 4'auch in different stamping devices to be able to use flexibly, the individual stamp elements 12 are advantageously fixable in each case at different points of the frame arm 11 in order to be able to vary the distance from adjacent stamp elements 12 relative to one another.

Der Stempel 4' nach der Figur 3 weist eine Lücke 14 in der Mitte der drei äußeren und inneren Stempelelemente 12 auf. Diese dient dazu, ein Klemmelement aufnehmen zu können, das auf den Banknotenstapeln drückt, wenn dieses sich in der Einstempelposition befindet. Aufgrund der Lücke 14 kann der Stempel 4' die in der Einstempelposition befindlichen Banknoten in die Kassette hineindrücken, wobei diese gleichzeitig, zumindest zu Beginn des Einstempelvorgangs, durch das Klemmelement gegen ein Verrutschen oder Verkippen gesichert gehalten werden.The punch 4 'according to FIG. 3 has a gap 14 in the middle of the three outer and inner punch elements 12. This serves to be able to receive a clamping element which presses on the banknote stacks, when this is in the stamping position. Due to the gap 14, the punch 4 'can push the bank notes located in the stamping position into the cassette, whereby they are simultaneously secured, at least at the beginning of the stamping operation, by the clamping element against slipping or tilting.

Das Klemmelement kann dabei z.B. einen oder mehrere starr miteinander verbundene Klemmfinger umfassen und ein Bestandteil einer Stapelträgereinheit sein, auf der die einzustempelnden Blätter gestapelt und zur Einstempelposition hin transportiert werden, wie es in der noch nicht veröffentlichten Anmeldung DE 10121835.4 der Anmelderin beschrieben ist.The clamping element may be e.g. comprise one or more rigidly connected clamping fingers and be a part of a stack carrier unit on which the sheets to be stamped are stacked and transported to the punching position, as described in the applicant's unpublished application DE 10121835.4.

Zu den vorgenannten Ausführungsbeispielen sind selbstverständlich noch zahlreiche Variationen und Alternativen denkbar.Of course, numerous variations and alternatives are conceivable for the aforementioned embodiments.

So wird im Sinne der Anmeldung unter einer Kassette nicht nur ein vollständig verschließ- und verriegelbares Gehäuse, sondern jeder Behälter verstanden, der zur Aufnahme von Blattgut dient.Thus, for the purposes of the application under a cassette not only a completely lockable and lockable housing, but understood each container that serves to receive sheet material.

Zudem sei betont, daß unter dem Einfahren eines Niederhalters in eine Kassette auch der Fall verstanden werden soll, daß der Niederhalter nach dem Einfahren als Teil einer Kassettenwand fungiert, d.h. der Niederhalter eine äußerer Begrenzung der Kassette darstellt.In addition, it should be emphasized that the retraction of a hold-down device into a cassette is also to be understood as the case where the hold-down device acts as part of a cassette wall after retraction, ie the hold-down device constitutes an outer boundary of the cassette.

Während vorstehend der Fall beschrieben wurde, daß der Niederhalter nur horizontal in die Kassette hinein und aus dieser heraus verfahren werden kann, wird der Niederhalter besonders bevorzugt auch vertikal in der Kassette verschiebbar sein. Ein Vorteil dieser Ausgestaltung ist es, das der Niederhalter so die in der Kassette eingestempelten Blätter leicht nach unten drücken und so verhindern kann, daß beim Schließen des Kassettendeckels die obersten Blätter gestaut oder geknickt werden. In diesem Fall kann zudem auf die Aussparungen 10 im Deckel 4 verzichtet werden.While the case has been described above that the hold-down can be moved only horizontally into and out of the cassette, the hold-down is particularly preferably also vertically displaceable in the cassette. An advantage of this embodiment is that the hold down can thus easily press down the sheets stamped in the cassette and thus prevent the top sheets from being jammed or kinked when closing the cassette lid. In this case, can also be dispensed with the recesses 10 in the lid 4.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ermöglicht somit ein sicheres und das Innere der Kassette effektiv zum Stapeln ausnutzendes Einstempeln von Blattgut.The solution according to the invention thus enables a secure stamping of sheet material which is effectively utilized for stacking inside the cassette.
