Abstract

FIELD: packing.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to packing of bank note stacks and can be used, for example, in banks. The device for bank note stack straightening bent against its lengthwise axis during its wrapping with a transversal wrapping ring is made as a plate of alternating width. The minimal width of the plate does not exceed the width of the gap of the transversal ring put on the bent bank note stack. The maximum width corresponds to the width of a bank note.

EFFECT: increased convenience of bank note stack straightening; elimination of tears of upper sheets of a stack at points of their contact with the side edges of a ring and increased efficiency of the wrapping process in whole.

Description

The invention relates to the field of packaging banknotes stacked in piles, and can be used, for example, in a bank system.

Until recently, the banding of banknotes stacked in piles was carried out mainly by the formation of two mutually perpendicular, mainly paper rings, fastened together at their intersection. Sometimes rings of polyethylene tape, RU 2073626 C1, were also used.

However, in recent years, most of the largest banks in Russia (Sberbank, Vneshtorgbank, Promstroibank, Bank of Moscow and others) have used packaging made in the form of one transverse ring to envelop piles of banknotes, RU 22465. The advantage of packaging in the form of one transverse ring relative to the packaging described above is simplification and cheapening of the process of banding a stack of banknotes; eliminates the need to connect the packaging elements with each other; if the packaging in accordance with RU 2073626 C1 and similar packaging are made of tape using special equipment directly in the bank during the banding process, then the packaging in the form of one transverse ring can be made outside the place where the banding occurs, for example, in a printing house, in advance. As a result, only the banding occurs in the bank premises, that is, the stack of banknotes is slightly bent relative to the longitudinal axis and introduced into the transverse ring. This can be done manually or using special devices, for example, RU 2226488 C1. Pre-deformation of a stack of banknotes is also carried out either manually or using various devices, for example, RU 24183 U1. After installing the transverse ring on the stack of banknotes, the latter is unbent and substantially straightened.

However, the lateral edges of one to three upper banknotes remain bent upward in the contact areas with the transverse ring. In order for the stack of banknotes to completely straighten out, take its original form, and the ring is stretched, tightly squeezed the stack on all sides, and at the same time there was no damage (tearing) of the upper banknotes in the contact areas with the lateral edges of the transverse ring, now it is necessary to carefully handle straighten the top sheets of the stack, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Any known device for straightening a previously deformed stack of banknotes after the banding with its transverse ring was not found by the applicant. In this regard, the present invention does not have a prototype.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device for straightening a previously deformed stack of banknotes after wrapping it with a transverse ring. Such a device should increase the convenience of expanding the stack of banknotes, while preventing tearing of the top sheets of the stack at the points of their contact with the side edges of the ring and increase the overall performance of the banding process.

This problem is solved by a device for straightening a stack of banknotes bent relative to its longitudinal axis during its banding with a transverse banding ring, characterized in that it is made in the form of a plate of variable width, while the minimum width of the plate does not exceed the width of the lumen of the transverse ring worn on a bent pile banknotes, and its maximum width corresponds to the width of the banknote; the sides of the plate can be made along smooth convex curves; the plate can be made with a cutout in the middle part, the contour of which is equidistant with respect to the sides of the plate; the edges of the plate along the sides and along the contour of the cutout can be rounded; the plate in the place of the smallest radius of curvature of its sides can be divided into two parts that are connected to each other by a hinge made with the possibility of fixing the parts of the plate relative to each other.

Since there are no known devices for this purpose, we can conclude that the claimed invention meets the criterion of "novelty."

The technical result achieved by the device is not achievable when straightening the stack of banknotes with a transverse ring by hand or by any known means. This circumstance allows, according to the applicant, to conclude that the present invention meets the criterion of "inventive step".

A device for straightening a stack of banknotes 2, bent relative to its longitudinal axis, introduced into the transverse banding ring 1, is made in the form of a plate 3 of variable width. The plate 3 is made with the possibility of its entry into the space 4 between the ring 1 and the bent stack 2 from the side of the concave part of the stack 2, and the minimum width "B" of the plate 3 does not exceed the width "B" of the lumen of the ring 1 in the position when the ring 1 is worn on the bent a stack of 2 banknotes; the maximum width “B” of the plate 3 corresponds to (equal to or different by the tolerance value) the width “Wb” of the banknote located in stack 2.

The sides of the plate 3 can be made along smooth convex curves; the plate 3 can be made with a cutout 5 in the middle part, the contour 6 of which is equidistant with respect to the lateral sides 7 of the plate 3.

The ribs 8 of the plate 3 on the sides 7 and the ribs 9 along the contour 6 of the cutout 5 can be rounded (Fig.9).

The plate 3 can be divided into two parts 10 and 11 in the place of the smallest radius of curvature of its lateral sides 7. Parts 10 and 11 are interconnected by a hinge 12. The hinge 12 not only provides a hinge for connecting the parts 10 and 11 of the plate 3, but also is made with the possibility of fixing them relative to each other. For this, the hinge 12 in a specific example is made in the form of a screw with a nut. The swivel joint of parts 10 and 11 of the plate 3 allows you to vary the value of the width "B", setting it depending on a particular value of the width of the banknote "Wb".

Plate 3 may be made of plastic, metal or other suitable structural material.

The straightening of the stack of 2 banknotes, bent relative to its longitudinal axis, introduced into the transverse banding ring 1, using the inventive device, can be carried out manually or using any mechanism that performs the same maneuvering with the device as when manually stacking the stack.

To straighten the stack of 2 banknotes, the plate 3 is manually inserted into the space 4 between the ring 1 and the bent stack of 2 banknotes. The lateral sides 7 of the plate 3 come into interaction with the lateral edges of the upper banknotes (1-3 banknotes) bent upward in the contact areas with the ring 1. In this case, the indicated lateral edges of the upper banknotes are straightened out, the entire stack of banknotes 2 is straightened, and the ring 1 is pulled tight, tightly covering the stack of 2 banknotes (Fig. 6). The stack of 2 banknotes is also expanded in the case of using the mechanism for maneuvering the plate 3. The stack of 2 banknotes is straightened using the device variants according to dependent claims 3, 4, 5 of the claims in the same way. In the embodiment of FIG. 10, the configuration of the outer contour of the device is changed by mutually rotating the parts 10 and 11 of the plate 3 relative to the hinge 12.

A device for straightening a stack of banknotes is manufactured in the factory using conventional equipment and known materials, which determines, according to the applicant, its compliance with the criterion of "industrial applicability".
