Abstract

An apparatus for checking bank notes in a bank note processing machine includes at least one sensor. The sensor is arranged to determine the information characterizing the bank notes to be checked and is connected to a bending resistant carrier via a first adhesive layer. The bending resistant carrier is further connected to a component of the apparatus for checking bank notes and/or directly with the bank note processing machine via a second, permanently elastic adhesive layer.

Claims (11)

1. Apparatus for checking bank notes in a bank note processing machine, comprising at least one sensor for detecting information characterizing the bank notes to be checked, wherein the sensor is connected to a bending resistant carrier via a first adhesive layer, and the bending resistant carrier is connected to a component of the apparatus for checking bank notes and/or directly to the bank note processing machine, via a second, permanently elastic adhesive layer;

wherein the first adhesive layer is formed by a high-strength structural adhesive;

wherein the second adhesive layer is formed by a permanently elastic elastomeric reaction adhesive or a permanently elastic elastomeric adhesive tape with a multilayer structure;

wherein the thickness of the first adhesive layer is less than 100 μm.

2. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the bending resistant carrier is formed by a material with a high modulus of elasticity.

3. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the component of the apparatus for checking bank notes is a conductor plate or a housing.

4. Apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a semiconductor material.

5. Apparatus for checking bank notes in a bank note processing machine, comprising at least one sensor for detecting information characterizing the bank notes to be checked, wherein the sensor is connected to a bending resistant carrier via a first adhesive layer, and the bending resistant carrier is connected to a component of the apparatus for checking bank notes and/or directly to the bank note processing machine, via a second, permanently elastic adhesive layer;

wherein the first adhesive layer is formed by a high-strength structural adhesive;

wherein the second adhesive layer is formed by a permanently elastic elastomeric reaction adhesive or a permanently elastic elastomeric adhesive tape with a multilayer structure;

wherein the bending resistant carrier has a ratio of length or width to thickness of approximately ten.
