Device for inputting securities into a container
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a device for the input of notes of value into a container. The device comprises a supply unit for supplying the notes of value and a stacking unit for stacking the supplied notes of value. Further, the device has a vane wheel ( 10 c ) for handling the notes of value. The vane wheel ( 10 c ) comprises a rotatably mounted basic body ( 12 c ) and at least one vane ( 14 c, 16 c ) firmly connected to the basic body ( 12 c ) at a first end of a connecting area ( 20 c, 22 c ). A support area ( 38, 40 ) of the vane ( 14 c, 16 c ) contacts the circumferential surface of the basic body ( 12 c ) when the vane ( 14 c, 16 c ) exerts a force on a note of value.
1. A device for the input of notes of value into a container, comprising:
at least one vane wheel for handling the notes of value, comprising a rotatably mounted basic body and at least one vane firmly connected to the basic body at a first end of a connecting area;
wherein the vane comprises a press-on area for exerting a force on at least one note of value and a support area;
wherein the support area contacts the circumferential surface of the basic body when the vane exerts a force on a note of value; and
wherein the vane does not contact the basic body at least in an area between the connecting area and the support area when the vane exerts a force on a note of value and the support area contacts the circumferential surface of the basic body.
2. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein between a longitudinal axis of the connecting area of the vane and a tangent to the basic body at the point of connection where the vane is connected to the basic body there is an angle in the range between 70° and 110°.
3. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting area of the vane is radially attached to the circumferential surface of the basic body.
4. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein in an unstressed state of the vane there is an angle in the range between 70° and 110°, in particular an angle of about 90° between the connecting area and the support area.
5. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the basic body and the vane are formed as one piece.
6. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the basic body is a hub rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis.
7. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein two vanes, in particular two vanes offset by 180° are provided.
8. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the vane has a curvature opposite to the direction of rotation of the vane wheel when a force is exerted on a note of value.
9. The vane wheel according to claim 7 , wherein the center of curvature of the curvature of the vane lies within a space delimited by the circumferential surface of the basic body, preferably on the axis of rotation of the basic body.
10. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the vane has an S-shaped area.
11. The vane wheel according to claim 1 , wherein the vane wheel is made of an uncured elastomer.
12. A device for the input of notes of value into a container comprising
at least one vane wheel for handling the notes of value, comprising a rotatably mounted basic body and at least one vane firmly connected to the basic body at a first end of a connecting area;
wherein the vane comprises a press-on area for exerting a force on at least one note of value and a support area;
wherein the support area contacts the circumferential surface of the basic body when the vane exerts a force on a note of value; and
wherein the connecting area of the vane is radially attached to the circumferential surface of the basic body.
13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the basic body and the vane are formed as one piece.
14. The device of claim 12 , wherein between a longitudinal axis of the connecting area of the vane and a tangent to the basic body at the point of connection where the vane is connected to the basic body there is an angle in the range between 70° and 110°.
15. The device of claim 12 , wherein the vane has an S-shaped area.
16. The device of claim 12 , wherein the vane wheel includes an uncured elastomer.
17. The device of claim 12 , wherein at least a part of the vane has a curvature opposite to the direction of rotation of the vane wheel when a force is exerted on a note of value.
18. A vane wheel for handling notes of value,
comprising a rotatably mounted basic body and at least one vane firmly connected to the basic body at a first end of a connecting area,
wherein the vane comprises a press-on area for exerting a force on at least one note of value and a support area,
wherein the support area contacts the circumferential surface of the basic body when the vane exerts a force on a note of value, and
wherein the support area does not contact the circumferential surface of the basic body when the vane does not exert a force on the note of value.
