Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Transportvorrichtung zum Transport von Wertscheinen, wie insbesondere Banknoten. Derartige Transportvorrichtungen werden beispielsweise in Geldautomaten und automatischen Kassentresoren verwendet, um Banknoten oder Scheckformulare zu transportieren. Neben einem geradlinigen Transport ist oft eine Verzweigung im Transportweg notwendig, beispielsweise wenn Banknoten in einer von mehreren zur Verfügung stehenden Kassetten abgelegt werden sollen oder wenn Banknoten, deren Qualität ungenügend oder deren Echtheit fraglich ist, ausgesondert werden müssen. Für derartige Verzweigungen werden üblicherweise Weichen verwendet, die mit Antriebseinrichtungen betätigt werden. Derartige Weichen sind jedoch meist aufwendig aufgebaut und störungsanfällig.The present invention relates to a transport device for the transport of banknotes, in particular banknotes. Such transport devices are used for example in ATMs and automatic cash vaults to transport banknotes or check forms. In addition to a straight-line transport often a branch in the transport path is necessary, for example, if banknotes are to be stored in one of several available cassettes or banknotes whose quality is insufficient or whose authenticity is questionable, must be discarded. For such branches usually switches are used, which are operated by drive means. However, such switches are usually complex and prone to failure.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Transportvorrichtung für Wertscheine anzugeben, mit der eine Verzweigung des Transportweges auf einfache und störungsunanfällige Weise realisiert werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a transport device for notes of value, with a branching of the transport path can be realized in a simple and störungsunanfällige way.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Transportvorrichtung gelöst, die einen ersten Riementransport und einen zweiten Riementransport umfaßt, wobei der zweite Riementransport quer zum ersten Riementransport angeordnet ist. Zwischen den Riemen des ersten Riementransports und des zweiten Riementransports ist jeweils ein Transportweg für Wertscheine oder Banknoten ausgebildet. Ein Wertschein oder ein Blatt, das längs des Transportweges des ersten Riementransports transportiert wird, stößt am Ende des Transportweges mit seiner vorlaufenden Kante auf den oberen Querriemen des zweiten Riementransports und wird vom Riemen derart umgelenkt, dass es nun längs des Transportweges des zweiten Riementransports transportiert wird. In Abhängigkeit von der Drehrichtung der Walzen, die zur Führung und zum Antrieb der Riemen dienen, kann das Blatt in den linken oder rechten Abschnitt des zweiten Riementransports gelenkt werden, so dass hierdurch eine Weichenfunktion ermöglicht ist, ohne dass separate Antriebe oder Steuerungsmittel erforderlich wären. Darüber hinaus kann durch die Ansteuerung der Drehrichtung der Walzen ein Blattstapel innerhalb des Transportweges des zweiten Riementransports ausgebildet werden, indem sukzessive Blätter vom ersten Riementransport in den zweiten Riementransport überführt werden und das neue Blatt unter den bereits gebildeten Blattstapel im ersten oder zweiten Abschnitt des zweiten Riementransports abgelegt wird.This object is achieved by a transport device which comprises a first belt transport and a second belt transport, wherein the second belt transport is arranged transversely to the first belt transport. Between the belts of the first belt conveyor and the second belt transport, a transport path for notes of value or banknotes is formed in each case. A note of value or a sheet, which is transported along the transport path of the first belt transport, abuts at the end of the transport path with its leading edge on the upper transverse belt of the second belt conveyor and is deflected by the belt so that it is now transported along the transport path of the second belt conveyor. Depending on the direction of rotation of the rollers used to guide and drive the belts, the sheet may be steered into the left or right portion of the second belt conveyor, thereby enabling a switch function without requiring separate drives or control means. In addition, by controlling the direction of rotation of the rollers, a sheet stack can be formed within the transport path of the second belt transport by successively transferring sheets from the first belt transport to the second belt transport and the new sheet under the already formed stack of sheets in the first or second section of the second belt transport is filed.

In Fig.1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Transportvorrichtung 10 schematisch in einer Seitenansicht und in Fig.2 in einer Draufsicht dargestellt. Die Transportvorrichtung 10 umfasst einen ersten Riementransport 15, der vorzugsweise aus drei Endlosriemen 12 und drei Endlosriemen 14 gebildet wird. Die Riemen 12 sind zwischen Walzen 16 und Walzen 18 gespannt, und die Riemen 14 sind zwischen Walzen 20 und Walzen 22 gespannt. Durch die Drehbewegung der Walzen werden die Riemen angetrieben, wobei die Drehrichtung der Walzen die Transportrichtung der Riemen bestimmt.In Fig.1 is a transport device 10 according to the invention schematically in a side view and in Fig.2 shown in a plan view. The transport device 10 comprises a first belt transport 15, which is preferably formed from three endless belts 12 and three endless belts 14. The belts 12 are stretched between rollers 16 and rollers 18, and the belts 14 are tensioned between rollers 20 and rollers 22. By the rotation of the rollers, the belts are driven, the direction of rotation of the rollers determines the direction of transport of the belt.

Zwischen den Riemen 12 und den Riemen 14 ist ein in der Darstellung von Fig. 1 vertikaler Transportweg 24 für eine Banknote ausgebildet. Die Riemen 12, 14 wie auch alle weiteren im Folgenden genannten Riemen sind aus einem elatischen Material gefertigt, so dass die Riemen 12, 14 aufeinanderliegen und gleichwohl ein Wertschein oder eine Banknote zwischen den Riemen 12, 14 geführt werden kann. Die Vorrichtung umfasst des weiteren einen zweiten Riementransport 5, der vorzugsweise aus zwei Riemen 26 und zwei Riemenpaaren 32 und 38 gebildet ist und quer zum ersten Riementransport 15 verläuft. Die zwei Endlosriemen 26 sind zwischen den Walzen 28 und Walzen 30 gespannt.Between the belt 12 and the belt 14 is a in the representation of Fig. 1 vertical transport path 24 formed for a bill. The belts 12, 14 as well as all other belts mentioned below are made of an elastic material, so that the belts 12, 14 lie on one another and nevertheless a banknote or note can be guided between the belts 12, 14. The device further comprises a second belt conveyor 5, which is preferably formed of two belts 26 and two belt pairs 32 and 38 and extends transversely to the first belt conveyor 15. The two endless belts 26 are stretched between the rollers 28 and rollers 30.

Die zwei Endlosriemen 32 sind zwischen den Walzen 34 und Walzen 36 gespannt. Die Walzen 34 sind in der Fig. 2 von den Riemen 26 verdeckt und daher gestrichelt gezeichnet. Die zwei Endlosriemen 38 sind zwischen den Walzen 40 und Walzen 42 gespannt. Die Walzen 40 sind in der Fig. 2 ebenfalls von den dritten Riemen 26 verdeckt und daher gestrichelt gezeichnet.The two endless belts 32 are stretched between the rollers 34 and rollers 36. The rollers 34 are in the Fig. 2 covered by the belt 26 and therefore shown in dashed lines. The two endless belts 38 are stretched between the rollers 40 and rollers 42. The rollers 40 are in the Fig. 2 also hidden by the third belt 26 and therefore shown in dashed lines.

Die Riemen 32 bilden zusammen mit dem gegenüberliegenden Abschnitt des Riemens 26 einen ersten Abschnitt 33 des zweiten Riementransports, der durch ein äußeres Ende im Bereich der Walze 36 und durch ein inneres Ende im Bereich der Walze 34 begrenzt ist. Auf gleiche Weise bilden die Riemen 38 zusammen mit dem gegenüberliegenden Abschnitt des Riemens 26 den zweiten Abschnitt 39 des zweiten Riementransports aus.The belts 32, together with the opposite portion of the belt 26, form a first portion 33 of the second belt conveyor, which extends through an outer end in FIG Area of the roller 36 and is limited by an inner end in the region of the roller 34. In the same way, the belts 38, together with the opposite portion of the belt 26, form the second portion 39 of the second belt conveyor.

Die Walzen 16 und die Walzen 34 sind auf einer gemeinsamen Welle 44 angeordnet. Die Walzen 20 und die Walzen 40 sind auf einer gemeinsamen Welle 46 angeordnet. Über Kopplungszahnräder 48 und 50, die an den jeweiligen Enden der Welle 44 bzw. 46 angeordnet sind, sind die Wellen 44 und 46 miteinander gekoppelt. Die Walzen 16 sind drehfest auf der ersten Welle 44 und die Walzen 20 sind drehfest auf der zweiten Welle 46 montiert. Der erste Riementransport 15 wird dadurch angetrieben, dass die erste und/oder zweite Welle 44, 46 angetrieben werden/wird. Dafür kann ein eigener Antrieb vorgesehen sein (nicht gezeigt), insbesondere dann, wenn der erste Riementransport 15 in beiden Richtungen (nach oben und nach unten) transportieren soll. In diesem Fall sind die Walzen 34 und die Walzen 40 frei drehbar auf der ersten Welle 44 bzw. der zweiten Welle 46 gelagert.The rollers 16 and the rollers 34 are arranged on a common shaft 44. The rollers 20 and the rollers 40 are arranged on a common shaft 46. Via coupling gears 48 and 50, which are arranged at the respective ends of the shaft 44 and 46, the shafts 44 and 46 are coupled together. The rollers 16 are rotationally fixed on the first shaft 44 and the rollers 20 are rotatably mounted on the second shaft 46. The first belt transport 15 is driven by driving the first and / or second shaft 44, 46. For this purpose, a separate drive can be provided (not shown), in particular if the first belt transport 15 is to transport in both directions (upwards and downwards). In this case, the rollers 34 and the rollers 40 are freely rotatably supported on the first shaft 44 and the second shaft 46, respectively.

Falls im ersten Riementransport 15 lediglich ein Transport in eine Richtung vorgesehen ist, kann eine der Walzen 34 und eine der Walzen 40 mit der zugehörigen Welle 44 bzw. 46 über einen Freilauf derart gekoppelt sein, dass sie die zugehörige Welle nur in der Drehrichtung antreiben können, die der vorgesehenen Transportrichtung des ersten Riementransports 15 entspricht. In diesem Fall wird kein eigener Antrieb für den ersten Riementransport 15 benötigt, sondern der erste Riementransport 15 wird von dem zweiten Riementransport 33, 39 über die Riemen 32 und die Riemen 38 über die genannten Freiläufe angetrieben.If only transport in one direction is provided in the first belt transport 15, one of the rollers 34 and one of the rollers 40 can be coupled to the associated shaft 44 or 46 via a freewheel so that they can drive the associated shaft only in the direction of rotation that corresponds to the intended transport direction of the first belt transport 15. In this case, no separate drive for the first belt transport 15 is required, but the first belt transport 15 is driven by the second belt conveyor 33, 39 via the belt 32 and the belt 38 via said freewheels.

Im folgenden wird die Funktionsweise der Transportvorrichtung 10 unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 3 bis 5 beschrieben. Die Fig. 3 bis 5 sind drei aufeinanderfolgende Momentaufnahmen beim Bilden eines Blattstapels in der Vorrichtung. In den Momentaufnahmen sind die Drehrichtungen der Walzen und die Laufrichtungen der Riemen durch nebenstehende Pfeile gekennzeichnet. Die Antriebe des ersten Riementransports 15 und des zweiten Riementransports 5 werden von einer Steuerungseinheit (nicht gezeigt) derart angesteuert, dass sich das folgende Transportverhalten für die zu transportierenden Wertscheine oder Banknoten ergibt.In the following, the operation of the transport device 10 with reference to Fig. 3 to 5 described. The Fig. 3 to 5 are three consecutive snapshots in forming a sheet stack in the device. In the snapshots, the directions of rotation of the rollers and the directions of movement of the belts are indicated by the arrows opposite. The drives of the first belt transport 15 and of the second belt transport 5 are controlled by a control unit (not shown) in such a way that the following transport behavior results for the notes of value or banknotes to be transported.

In der Momentaufnahme von Fig. 3 wird ein erstes Blatt 52 im Transportweg 24 des ersten Riementransportes 15 nach oben transportiert. Sämtliche Transportwege sind in den Figuren der Klarheit halber stark vergrößert dargestellt. In Wirklichkeit liegen die Riemen aufeinander; aufgrund der Elastitizität der Riemen kann jedoch ein Blatt zwischen den Riemen geführt werden. Das vorlaufende Ende des ersten Blattes 52 hat bereits an den dritten Riemen 26 angestoßen und wurde aufgrund von dessen Laufrichtung mitgezogen und somit nach rechts umgebogen, während der hintere Teil des ersten Blattes 52 weiterhin im ersten Riementransport 15 nachgeführt wird. Somit wird das erste Blatt 52 mit seinem vorlaufenden Ende in den zweiten Abschnittes 39 des zweiten Riementransports 5 eingeführt. Die Laufrichtung der Walzen und Riemen wird beibehalten, bis das erste Blatt 52 vollständig im zweiten Abschnitt 39 des zweiten Riementransportes 5 liegt.In the snapshot of Fig. 3 a first sheet 52 is transported in the transport path 24 of the first belt conveyor 15 upwards. All transport routes are shown greatly enlarged in the figures for the sake of clarity. In reality, the belts are on top of each other; however, due to the elasticity of the belts, a sheet can be passed between the belts. The leading end of the first sheet 52 has already abutted on the third belt 26 and was entrained due to its direction of rotation and thus bent to the right, while the rear part of the first sheet 52 is still tracked in the first belt conveyor 15. Thus, the first sheet 52 is inserted with its leading end in the second portion 39 of the second belt conveyor 5. The running direction of the rollers and belts is maintained until the first sheet 52 is completely in the second portion 39 of the second belt conveyor 5.

Nun wird die Laufrichtung der Riemen 26, 32, 38 des zweiten Riementransportes 5 durch Umkehrung der Drehrichtung der Walzen 28, 30; 36, 16; 20, 42 umgekehrt. Dies führt dazu, dass das erste Blatt 52 wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt in Richtung des ersten Abschnitts 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 transportiert wird. Gleichzeitig wird ein zweites Blatt 54 im ersten Riementransport 15 nach oben transportiert (Fig. 4). Die Transportrichtungsumkehr im zweiten Riementransport 5 und die Zufuhr des zweiten Blattes 54 sind zeitlich so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass das erste und das zweite Blatt 52, 54 im Zwischenbereich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Abschnitt 33, 39 des zweiten Riementransports 5 aufeinandertreffen und gemeinsam in den ersten Abschnitt 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 eingeführt werden, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt ist. Die beiden Blätter 52, 54 liegen übereinander und der Transport wird so lange fortgesetzt, bis sich der Blattstapel 52,54 vollständig im ersten Abschnitt 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 befinden.Now, the running direction of the belts 26, 32, 38 of the second belt conveyor 5 by reversing the direction of rotation of the rollers 28, 30; 36, 16; 20, 42 vice versa. This results in the first sheet 52 as in Fig. 4 shown in the direction of the first portion 33 of the second belt transport fifth is transported. At the same time a second sheet 54 in the first belt conveyor 15 is transported upwards ( Fig. 4 ). The transport direction reversal in the second belt transport 5 and the supply of the second sheet 54 are timed to one another such that the first and second sheets 52, 54 meet in the intermediate region between the first and second sections 33, 39 of the second belt transport 5 and together in the first portion 33 of the second belt conveyor 5 are introduced as in Fig. 4 is shown. The two sheets 52, 54 lie one above the other and the transport is continued until the stack of sheets 52, 54 are completely in the first section 33 of the second belt transport 5.

Nun wird wiederum die Transportrichtung im zweiten Riementransport 5, d.h. der Riemen 26, 32 und 38 umgekehrt, so dass sich der Blattstapel 52, 54 wieder nach rechts bewegt, wie in der Momentaufnahme von Fig. 5 gezeigt ist. Gleichzeitig wird ein drittes Blatt 56 im ersten Riementransport 15 nach oben transportiert (siehe Fig. 5). Die vorlaufenden Enden des aus dem ersten und dem zweiten Blatt 52, 54 bestehenden Blattstapels und des dritten Blattes 56 treffen wiederum in dem Zwischenbereich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Abschnitt 33, 39 des zweiten Riementransports 5 aufeinander, werden gemeinsam in den zweiten Abschnitt 39 des zweiten Riementransports 5 geführt und bilden somit einen aus drei Blättern 52, 54 und 56 bestehenden Blattstapel aus (nicht gezeigt).Now again, the transport direction in the second belt conveyor 5, ie, the belt 26, 32 and 38 is reversed, so that the sheet stack 52, 54 moves back to the right, as in the snapshot of Fig. 5 is shown. At the same time, a third sheet 56 in the first belt transport 15 is transported upwards (see Fig. 5 ). The leading ends of the sheet stack consisting of the first and second sheets 52, 54 and the third sheet 56 in turn meet in the intermediate region between the first and second sections 33, 39 of the second belt conveyor 5, are merged together into the second section 39 of FIG led second belt conveyor 5 and thus form a three leaves 52, 54 and 56 existing sheet stack (not shown).

Durch die beschriebene Art der Steuerung der Transportvorrichtung können Blattstapel im zweiten Riementransport 5 sukzessive aufgebaut werden. Die Walze 28 und die Walze 30 sind in vertikaler Richtung verstellbar, so dass der Abstand zwischen den Riemen 26 einerseits und den Riemen 32, 38 andererseits an die Höhe eines sich bildenden Blattstapels angepasst werden kann.By the described type of control of the transport device sheet stacks can be constructed successively in the second belt conveyor 5. The roller 28 and the roller 30 are adjustable in the vertical direction, so that the distance between the belt 26 on the one hand and the belt 32, 38 on the other hand can be adapted to the height of a forming sheet stack.

Wie aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung ersichtlich, stellt der Zwischenbereich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Abschnitt 33, 39 des zweiten Riementransports 5 einen Verzweigungspunkt für Blätter dar, die im ersten Riementransport 15 nach oben transportiert werden. Gleichzeitig kann ein Blatt oder Blattstapel von einem Abschnitt 33 oder 38 des zweiten Riementransports 5 über den Verzweigungspunkt hinweg in den anderen Abschnitt 38 oder 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 transportiert werden.As can be seen from the above description, the intermediate area between the first and second sections 33, 39 of the second belt transport 5 constitutes a branching point for sheets which are transported upwards in the first belt transport 15. At the same time, a sheet or stack of sheets may be transported from one section 33 or 38 of the second belt conveyor 5 over the branching point to the other section 38 or 33 of the second belt conveyor 5.

In Fig. 6 ist ein Gerät 58 zum Ein- und/oder Auszahlen von Banknoten in einer schematischen Querschnittsansicht gezeigt. Das Gerät 58 hat ein Gehäuse 60 mit einer Ein- und Ausgabestelle 62, an der Banknoten in das Gerät 58 eingezahlt bzw. aus diesem ausgegeben werden können, und einen Tresor 64, in dessen Inneren Banknotenkassetten 66 angeordnet sind.In Fig. 6 For example, an apparatus 58 for depositing and / or paying out banknotes is shown in a schematic cross-sectional view. The device 58 has a housing 60 with an input and output point 62, can be paid to the banknotes in the device 58 and issued from this, and a vault 64, in the interior banknote cassettes 66 are arranged.

Das Gerät 58 umfasst ferner eine Transportvorrichtung 10, wie sie oben beschrieben wurde. Das äußere Ende des ersten Abschnittes 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 ist dabei an der Eingabestelle 62 angeordnet, so dass an der Eingabestelle 62 eingegebene Banknoten am äußeren Ende in den ersten Abschnitt 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 eingeführt werden bzw. Banknoten, die im zweiten Riementransport 5 über das äußere Ende des ersten Abschnitts 33 hinaustransportiert werden, in die Ein- und Ausgabestelle 62 gelangen.The device 58 further comprises a transport device 10 as described above. The outer end of the first section 33 of the second belt transport 5 is arranged at the input location 62, so that banknotes entered at the entry point 62 are introduced at the outer end into the first section 33 of the second belt transport 5 or banknotes which are in the second belt transport 5 be transported beyond the outer end of the first portion 33, enter the input and output point 62.

Bei der Transportvorrichtung 10 des Gerätes 58 sind der erste Riementransport 15 und der zweite Riementransport 5 unabhängig voneinander antreibbar und die Transportrichtungen sind bei beiden Riementransporten 5, 15 umkehrbar. Während jedoch eine Richtungsumkehr beim zweiten Riementransport 5 eine Verlagerung eines sich ausbildenden Blattstapels von dem einen Abschnitt 33 in den anderen Abschnitt 38 des zweiten Riementransports bewirkt, werden bei einer Richtungsumkehr des ersten Riementransports 15 die Geldscheine in den Tresor 64 hinein bzw. aus diesem heraus befördert.In the transport device 10 of the device 58, the first belt conveyor 15 and the second belt conveyor 5 are independently drivable and the transport directions are reversible in both belt transports 5, 15. While However, a reversal of direction in the second belt transport 5 causes a displacement of a forming sheet stack from the one portion 33 in the other portion 38 of the second belt transport, upon reversing the direction of the first belt conveyor 15, the bills are conveyed into or out of the vault 64.

Wenn Banknoten aus dem Gerät 58 ausgezahlt werden sollen, werden diese zunächst mit einer hier nicht näher spezifizierten Transportvorrichtung 68 von unten in den ersten Riementransport 15 eingeführt. Von diesem werden sie durch eine Öffnung 70 im Tresor 64 aus dem Tresor 64 heraustransportiert, im zweiten Riementransport 5 wie in den Fig. 3 bis 5 beschrieben gestapelt und dann an der Ein- und Ausgabestelle 62 ausgegeben.If banknotes are to be paid out of the device 58, they are first introduced from below into the first belt transport 15 with a transport device 68 which is not specified here. From this they are transported out through an opening 70 in the vault 64 from the vault 64, in the second belt transport 5 as in the Fig. 3 to 5 described stacked and then output at the input and output point 62.

Zum Eingeben von Banknoten werden diese einzeln oder im Stapel über die Ein- und Ausgabestelle 62 am äußeren Ende des ersten Abschnittes 33 des zweiten Riementransportes 5 eingeführt und in Richtung auf dessen inneres Ende transportiert. Die Vorrichtung 10 des Gerätes 58 hat zusätzlich zu den oben beschriebenen Komponenten ein Leitelement 72, das aus einer neutralen Stellung (in Fig. 6 gestrichelt gezeichnet) in eine Umlenkstellung verstellbar ist, in der es in den Weg einer sich im ersten oder zweiten Abschnitt des zweiten Riementransports 5 befindlichen Banknote ragt und diese mit der Vorderkante in den ersten Riementransport 15 umlenkt. Mit Hilfe des Leitelements 72 kann demnach eine an der Ein- und Ausgabestelle 62 eingegebene Banknote über den ersten Abschnitt 33 des zweiten Riementransports 5 und den ersten Riementransport 15 in den Tresor 64 transportiert, dort von der Transportvorrichtung 68 übernommen und gezielt in einer der Speicherkassetten 66 abgelegt werden.For entering banknotes they are introduced individually or in the stack via the input and output point 62 at the outer end of the first portion 33 of the second belt conveyor 5 and transported in the direction of its inner end. The device 10 of the device 58 has, in addition to the above-described components, a baffle 72 which extends from a neutral position (in FIG Fig. 6 dashed lines) in a deflection position is adjustable, in which it projects into the path of a located in the first or second portion of the second belt transport 5 bill and this deflects with the front edge in the first belt transport 15. With the aid of the guide element 72, a banknote entered at the entry and exit point 62 can thus be transported via the first section 33 of the second belt transport 5 and the first belt transport 15 into the vault 64, where it is taken over by the transport device 68 and specifically into one of the storage cassettes 66 be filed.

Wenn der erste und der zweite Abschnitt 33, 39 des zweiten Riementransports 5 eine ausreichende Länge aufweist, so können durch Ansteuerung der Drehrichtung der Walzen 28, 30; 36, 16; 20, 42 im zweiten Riementransport 5 auch zwei Blattstapel nebeneinander ausgebildet werden, beispielsweise ein Stapel für aussortierte Banknoten, deren Qualität beispielsweise ungenügend ist oder deren Echtheit in Frage steht, und ein Stapel mit einwandfreien Banknoten. Ein derartiger Ausschussstapel kann auf der der Ein- und Ausgabestelle 62 abgewandten Seite gebildet und von einer autorisierten Person entnommen werden. Voraussetzung hierfür ist, dass beide Abschnitte 33, 39 des zweiten Riementransports lang genug ausgebildet sind, um zwei Banknotenstapel nebeneinander zu beherbergen.If the first and the second portion 33, 39 of the second belt transport 5 has a sufficient length, so by controlling the direction of rotation of the rollers 28, 30; 36, 16; 20, 42 in the second belt conveyor 5 also two sets of sheets are formed side by side, for example, a stack for sorted banknotes whose quality is insufficient, for example, or whose authenticity is in question, and a stack of flawless banknotes. Such a waste stack can be formed on the side facing away from the input and output side 62 and removed by an authorized person. The prerequisite for this is that both sections 33, 39 of the second belt transport are formed long enough to accommodate two banknote stacks next to one another.
