Device for filling a thin-walled transport container with notes of value
A device ( 10 ) for filling a thin-walled transport container ( 18 ) made of flexible material with notes of value is described. For this, the device ( 10 ) comprises a supply unit ( 12 ), a stacking unit ( 14 ) and a receiving unit ( 16 ) for receiving the thin-walled transport container ( 18 ). By means of a stuffing unit ( 20 ) the stacked notes of value are moved into the transport container ( 18 ) in several successive filling steps. A closing unit ( 22 ) closes the thin-walled transport container ( 18 ) after the last filling step. The receiving unit ( 16 ) comprises a contact sensor ( 32 ) which, upon contact with the bottom of the transport container ( 18 ), generates a signal that triggers the closing operation or the transport container ( 18 ).

a closing unit disposed in said receiving unit for closing the thin-walled transport container in a revision-proof manner, the closing unit including a first subunit and a second subunit,
wherein the receiving unit includes a contact sensor which, upon contact with a bottom of the thin-walled transport container, generates a signal, and
wherein, dependent on said signal, the first subunit and second subunit of the closing unit cooperate to close the thin-walled transport container in a revision-proof manner,
wherein the contact sensor comprises a rod which is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis, wherein the rod has a first rotary position in which the contact sensor generates no signal and wherein the rod has a second rotary position in which the contact sensor generates the signal.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the closing unit closes the thin-walled transport container by one of welding or bonding.
3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the thin-walled transport container is made of a foil material.
4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the notes of value are stacked so that their surfaces are oriented approximately parallel to the bottom of the thin-walled transport container.
5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said signal is generated by an interruption of a light beam.
6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein said stuffing unit moves the stacked notes of value in said thin-walled transport container and an additional stacked notes of value, successively supplied from said stacking unit, further into the thin-walled transport container toward the bottom of the thin-walled transport container.
7. A device for filling a thin-walled transport container made of flexible material with notes of value, comprising:
a supply unit for supplying the notes of value,
a stacking unit for stacking the notes of value,
a receiving unit for receiving the thin-walled transport container,
a stuffing unit for transporting the stacked notes of value into the thin-walled transport container in several successive filling steps, and
a closing unit for closing the thin-walled transport container,
wherein the receiving unit includes a contact sensor which, upon contact with a bottom of the thin-walled transport container, generates a signal and
wherein, dependent on said signal the closing unit closes the thin-walled transport container,
wherein the contact sensor comprises a rod which is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis, wherein the rod has a first rotary position in which the contact sensor generates no signal and wherein the rod has a second rotary position in which the contact sensor generates the signal.
8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the rod has a contact tab at its first rod end, which contact tab, upon contact with the thin-walled transport container, rotates the rod from the first into the second rotary position, and wherein the rod has a switching flag at its second rod end, which switching flag triggers the signal generation in the second rotary position.
9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the rod is rotated into the first rotary position by a torsion spring and is rotatable into the second rotary position against resistance of the torsion spring.
10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the thin-walled transport container is closed after a final filling step following signal generation.
11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the torsion spring exerts a torque on the rod, which rotates the rod into the first rotary position.
12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the torque is chosen such that the rod is rotatable into the second rotary position against said torque when said thin-walled transport container and said contact tab come into contact.
13. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the thin-walled transport container is closed after a final filling step following signal generation.
14. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the rod is rotated into the first rotary position by a torsion spring and is rotatable into the second rotary position against resistance of the torsion spring.
15. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the thin-walled transport container is closed after a final filling step following signal generation.
16. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the torsion spring exerts a torque on the rod, which rotates the rod into the first rotary position.
