Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single sheet handling device for inputting and outputting rectangular single sheets into or from a container.
  • rectangular single sheets are in particular bank notes which are automatically fed to the container for storage or which are automatically removed from the container for output.
  • a banknote storage container for cash dispensers is known.
  • a bank note storage container is known in which a multiplicity of feed elements and, alternatively, a multiplicity of separating elements are arranged in the bank note storage container itself, which is designed as a cassette.
  • these elements must also be present in exchange cassettes and space must be provided in the cassette itself for the feed and separation elements, which space is lost for the banknote deposit.
  • a further disadvantage of the arrangement of feed and separation elements in the cassette is that they increase the weight of the cassette and, as a result, the cost of transporting the cassette is increased.
  • the feeding and separating elements must be positioned exactly to the stack surface or to the front of the banknote stack in the container in order to ensure reliable banknote transport in and out of the container to enable.
  • document GB 2 135 493 A discloses an arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 with a cassette which comprises a bank note storage area to which bank notes can be fed with the aid of feed elements and from which bank notes can be removed with the aid of separating elements.
  • the position of a movable element can be changed from a position for feeding notes of value into the note storage area into a position for removing notes of value from the note storage area.
  • EP 2 252 980 A1 ( WO 2009/047742 A1 ) is considered state of the art according to Article 54 (3) EPC and discloses an ATM in which the feed and separation elements are arranged outside of a cash cassette and in which there is an actively driven limiting device which can be moved in the stacking direction and in the opposite direction to the stacking direction and limits the stacking space.
  • document US 2004/0256784 A1 discloses an automated teller machine for paying in and out of notes of value, in which notes of value of different sizes are stored together in a cash box.
  • the cash box contains a pressure element that delimits the stacking area for stacking the notes of value.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a single sheet handling device for inputting and outputting rectangular single sheets, in particular banknotes, into or from a container, in which a simply constructed can be separated from the feeding and separating elements of the single sheet handling device Container can be used.
  • single sheets can be fed to a container in a simple manner and single sheets can be removed from the same container.
  • feed elements and the separating elements separately from the container, a simple construction of the container is possible and the weight of the container can be considerably reduced compared to an arrangement of feeding elements and separating elements in the container.
  • Such a single sheet handling device is particularly suitable for use in an automated teller machine, with an operational exchange of full and / or empty ones as required
  • Containers takes place, so that for each container arranged in the ATM at least one further exchange container is kept available for the exchange against this container arranged in the ATM.
  • the containers can be manufactured with relatively little effort. This is possible in a simple manner by arranging the feed elements and the separating elements separately from the container.
  • the feed elements position a single sheet to be fed to the container in front of the stack surface formed by an end face of the stack. As a result, this supplied single sheet is subsequently the foremost single sheet of the stack. Thus, the front or back of the fed single sheet subsequently forms the end of the stack.
  • At least some of the feed elements and at least some of the separating elements are designed and arranged in such a way that, at least in a feeding or separating operation of the single sheet handling device, at least one single sheet located in a single sheet receiving area of the container through at least one opening in a frontal boundary wall of the single sheet receiving area contact through.
  • the feed elements and the separating elements can easily access the foremost single sheet of the stack or a single sheet to be fed.
  • the single sheet handling device has at least one active drive for changing the position of an end-face delimiting wall of the container designed as a flap, the drive initiating or effecting the movement of the flap into a feed and / or separation position in which a feed and / or removal opening is released for feeding or removing the single sheets.
  • the single sheets can be transported into and out of the container in a simple manner via the released feed and / or removal opening.
  • This embodiment can in particular be developed in that the active drive moves the flap into a rest position before or during the operational separation of the container from the supply and separation elements, preferably before or during a removal process for operational removal of the container from an ATM, whereby the flap is arranged in the rest position in such a way that the feed and / or removal opening is closed and preferably locked.
  • the flap is moved into the rest position, at least some of the individual sheets of the stack are preferably pressed into the individual sheet receiving area of the container.
  • all the single sheets of the stack are securely arranged in the single sheet receiving area when the container is separated from the feeding and separating elements will.
  • the flap is arranged in the rest position, unauthorized removal of the banknotes is made more difficult.
  • the drive moves the flap from the feeding and / or separating position into the rest position and from the rest position into the feeding and / or separating position at least when the operating mode is changed from feeding operation to separating operation or if the operating mode is changed from separating operation to feeding operation.
