Abstract

A device for the output of notes of value includes a stacking unit for stacking notes of value to a value note stack, an output compartment for the output of the value note stack to a user of the device, as well as a transport unit with a pushing plate for the transport of the value note stack from the stacking unit to the output compartment. A guide element, which serves for guiding the notes of value during the stacking of the notes of value by the stacking unit, is mounted on the pushing plate.

Claims (22)

1. A device for output of notes of value, comprising:

a stacking unit for stacking the notes of value removed from at least one value note receiving unit to a value note stack;

an output compartment for the output of the value note stack;

a pushing plate movable by a transport unit for transport of the value note stack from the stacking unit to the output compartment; and

a guide element for guiding the notes of value during the stacking by the stacking unit;

where the guide element is mounted on the pushing plate.

2. The device according to claim 1 , where the stacking unit is designed such that it feeds the notes of value to be stacked during a stacking operation against the guide element.

3. The device according to claim 1 , where the device further comprises a control unit for controlling the transport unit, and that the control unit controls the transport unit such that the transport unit moves the pushing plate to different predetermined positions dependent on currency, denomination and/or size of the notes of value to be stacked.

4. The device according to claim 3 , where the control unit controls the transport unit such that, prior to a stacking operation, the transport unit moves the pushing plate to a position predetermined for the stacking operation dependent on the currency, the denomination and/or the size of the notes of value to be stacked.

5. The device according to claim 3 , where the control unit controls the transport unit such that the transport unit varies a position of the pushing plate during a stacking operation dependent on the currency, the denomination and/or the size of the notes of value to be stacked.

6. The device according to claim 3 , where for several currencies, denominations, and/or sizes of notes of value and/or for combinations of these parameters, the respective predetermined position in which the pushing plate is to be arranged during the stacking of notes of value of the corresponding currency, denomination and/or sizes or combinations is stored in the control unit in a clearly assigned manner, that the control unit reads out the corresponding position dependent on the currencies, the denominations and/or the sizes of the notes of value to be stacked, and that the control unit controls the transport unit such that it moves the pushing plate into the position.

7. The device according to claim 6 , where when the value note stack to be formed includes notes of value of different currencies, denominations and/or sizes, the control unit selects the position of the positions predetermined for the different currencies, denominations and/or sizes for which a distance between the pushing plate and a feeding unit for feeding the notes of value to the stacking unit is largest.

8. The device according to claim 1 , where the guide element is articulated to the pushing plate.

9. The device according to claim 1 , where the guide element is mounted on the pushing plate such that it is movable between a first position and a second position in which it is rotated relative to the first position relative to the pushing plate by a predetermined angle.

10. The device according to claim 9 , where the predetermined angle is between 60° and 100°.

11. The device according to claim 9 , where the guide element rests against the pushing plate in the second position.

12. The device according to claim 9 , where the guide element is arranged in the first position when the pushing plate is arranged in a position in which the pushing plate is arranged during the stacking of the notes of value.

13. The device according to claim 9 , where the guide element is biased in the first position.

14. The device according to claim 13 , where the device is designed such that the guide element is moved by contact to other elements of the device opposite to the biasing from the first into the second position when the transport unit moves the pushing plate from the stacking unit to the output compartment.

15. The device according to claim 1 , where the guide element is shaped in form of a finger.

16. The device according to claim 10 , where the predetermined angle is between 80° and 90°.

17. The device according to claim 13 , where the guide element is biased in the first position by a spring.
