Abstract
A draw-in apparatus having at least two rotatable draw-in rollers for drawing in sheet goods, in particular bank notes, wherein the draw-in rollers are arranged relative to each other with meshing roller profiles respectively extending transversely to the draw-in direction so as to define a draw-in gap for the sheet goods, and wherein the draw-in rollers have axial cross-sectional profiles mutually matched such that a clearance between the draw-in rollers changes periodically upon a rotation of the draw-in rollers.
Claims20
A draw-in apparatus comprising:
- at least two rotatable draw-in rollers for drawing in sheet goods, in particular bank notes, wherein the draw-in rollers are arranged relative to each other with meshing roller profiles respectively extending transversely to a draw-in direction so as to define a draw-in gap for the sheet goods,
- wherein the draw-in gap has a height defined as a minimum distance between surfaces of the draw-in rollers, and
- wherein the draw-in rollers comprise axial cross-sectional profiles mutually matched such that the height of the draw-in gap changes periodically upon rotation of the draw-in rollers during the drawing in of the sheet goods via the rotation of the draw-in rollers of the draw-in apparatus.
