Abstract
A device for transporting notes of value comprises a first idler pulley mounted in the device and at least a second idler pulley mounted in the device, as well as an endless belt running around the idler pulleys, and a freely rotatable guide roller mounted in the device and having at least one connecting area for reception in a receiving opening of the device. The axis of rotation of the guide roller has in a first receiving position of the connecting area in the receiving opening a first orthogonal distance to a plane in which the axes of rotation of the idler pulleys run. The axis of rotation of the guide roller has in a second receiving position of the connecting area in the receiving opening a second orthogonal distance to the plane.
Claims11
A device for transporting notes of value comprising:
- a first idler pulley and a second idler pulley;
- an endless belt running around the first and second idler pulleys;
- at least one guide element having at least one receiving opening;
- a freely rotatable guide roller having at least one connecting area receivable in the at least one receiving opening of the at least one guide element in alternative, first and second receiving positions;
- wherein an axis of rotation of the guide roller when the guide roller is in the first receiving position has a first orthogonal distance to a plane in which axes of rotation of the first and second idler pulleys run;
- wherein the axis of rotation of the guide roller when the guide roller is in the second receiving position has a second orthogonal distance to the plane, the first and second orthogonal distances different from one another;
- and
- wherein the at least one connecting area is rotated 180° about the axis of rotation to change between the first and second receiving positions and wherein the at least one receiving opening remains unchanged;
- and
- wherein the belt is further defined as a flat belt or a toothed belt or a V-belt and wherein the notes of value to be transported rest individually or as a value note stack on the belt and are arranged between the belt and the guide roller.
The device of 1 wherein the at least one connecting area is received in the at least one receiving opening in a non-rotating manner.
A device for transporting notes of value comprising:
- a first idler pulley and a second idler pulley;
- an endless belt running around the first and second idler pulleys;
- at least one guide element having at least one receiving opening;
- a freely rotatable guide roller having at least one connecting area receivable in the at least one receiving opening of the at least one guide element in alternative, first and second receiving positions;
- wherein an axis of rotation of the guide roller when the guide roller is in the first receiving position has a first orthogonal distance to a plane in which axes of rotation of the first and second idler pulleys run;
- wherein the axis of rotation of the guide roller when the guide roller is in the second receiving position has a second orthogonal distance to the plane, the first and second orthogonal distances different from one another;
- and
- wherein the at least one connecting area is rotated 180° about the axis of rotation to change between the first and second receiving positions and wherein the at least one receiving opening remains unchanged;
- and
- wherein at least one of the guide roller further comprises:
- an axle element extending between first and second axle ends;
- and
- a roller element freely rotatable on the axle element, wherein the at least one connecting area further defined as first and second connecting areas;
- wherein the first and second connecting areas are respectively provided at each of the first and second axle ends of the axle element projecting laterally away from the roller element along the axis of rotation;
- and
- wherein the axle element further comprises first and second axle element parts and wherein the first and second axle element parts are each inserted into opposite sides of the roller element.
