Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for storing and dispensing thin, flat objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE 33 22 340 describes a sorting device connected downstream of copiers, in which a mechanism for separating receiving bases has at least two so-called curved elements in the form of cylindrical elements, each with a helical groove formed in the outer surface thereof. These curve members slide up and down on a drive shaft with a square cross section. On the individual, approximately rectangular, stacked sheet-receiving bases, pins are provided on both ends of a long side, which come into engagement with the grooves of the cam members for rotating the square drive shaft and then together with the respective receiving base depending on the direction of rotation of the shafts and thus the Curve elements can be moved up and down.
  • the individual sheets to be sorted are fed by means of a conveying device, the insertion rollers of which are arranged in a stationary manner on the side of the copying machine, while the output rollers arranged on the side of the sorter are moved analogously to the curve members so that the output rollers are always at a height and approximately in the middle of the curve members.
  • the at least two cam links are each slidably moved up and down on a square drive shaft, their assignment to the receiving bases is not particularly precisely defined, since the cam links are not precisely positioned. Due to the bend and the spacers on the two long sides of the receiving shelves, the space required is considerable even with a relatively small number of 10 to 20 receiving shelves. Furthermore, the stack of sheets deposited on the individual trays must be removed by hand each time a sorting process has ended.
  • the aim of the invention is to provide a device for storing and dispensing thin, flat objects, for example in the form of sheet-like material, such as banknotes, in which a large number of thin, flat objects are taken up individually, taking up an extremely small amount of space filed and, if necessary, can be reliably output again individually at any time.
  • a very large number of receptacles and thus also storage compartments are accommodated in a very small space, the space requirement increasing only insignificantly when storing sheet-like material, such as banknotes.
  • sheet-like material such as banknotes.
  • thin, sheet-like objects for example in the form of sheet-like material such as banknotes, or in the form of thin, disc-shaped material such as coins, are each individually introduced and also placed individually in each storage compartment.
  • both the input and the output always take place at the same place, since both the input and the output opening are fixed.
  • the feeding and input of each object can be carried out manually or automatically, while the output of each individually stored object is always carried out automatically either at the same point as the input or at a position which is offset or offset in relation to this input.
  • each of the cylindrical elements with the helical groove in its outer or inner surface is rotatable but arranged in a stationary manner, the continuous helical part, which has a number of winding surfaces corresponding to the plurality of receiving compartments, is only once in the helical form during assembly Groove each of the cylindrical elements. In contrast to the sorting device described at the beginning, such an insertion is required not to be carried out in the device according to the invention during use.
  • the receiving compartments are preferably in the form of thin, approximately rectangular lamellae, which preferably have cutouts on opposite narrow sides with a diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the shafts provided above and below the cylindrical elements.
  • the thin, preferably leaf-shaped lamellae can also be guided on their longitudinal side opposite an input and output opening by guide and stop rods.
  • one and the same opening can be used for the input and storage and also for the output of sheet-like material, such as bank notes, with a first pair of rollers controllable in its direction of rotation and at least on the side of the receiving compartments facing away from the opening a second pair of rollers is also provided, the direction of rotation of which can be controlled analogously to the rotational movement of the first pair of rollers as a function thereof is whether, for example, a banknote should be entered or output.
  • banknotes For example, always takes place in the area of the cylindrical, fixedly arranged, but rotatable elements, since only in their area the individual receiving compartments are separated from one another to such an extent that, for example, a banknote can easily be inserted or also can be removed again.
  • two openings can also be provided, which are preferably designed and arranged on different, opposite sides of the housing such that the dispensing opening is offset in height with respect to the entry opening.
  • at least a third pair of rollers is then preferably provided for dispensing banknotes, for example.
  • guide and stop rods attached near the output opening are dimensioned in such a length that they end somewhat below the second pair of rollers provided inside the housing, but a little above the center of the input opening. In this way it is achieved that each object brought in, for example in the form of a banknote, comes into contact with the stop rods and is thereby aligned.
  • two directly driven, cylindrical elements are preferably provided to separate some of the receiving compartments, each of which can be positioned so precisely on stationary threaded rods fixed in the housing of the device that at least always one receiving compartment through which in the helical groove formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical elements is temporarily separated from the other receiving compartments, is always arranged in the area of a roller or roller arrangement by means of which the sheet-shaped objects, preferably bank notes, are input or output.
