Abstract
A device for validating flexible documents is described. The device has an input portion, an output portion and an intermediate portion interposed between the input portion and the output portion, through which each of the flexible documents is moved by means of movement members along a movement direction. The device also has at least one sensor, which is positioned at the intermediate portion, and a deflector element, conformed as a laminar element, which protrudes from a bottom of the intermediate portion and is configured to deflect the dynamics of the flexible document so as to bring it against the at least one sensor.
Claims19
A validation device for validation of flexible documents, comprising
- an input portion into which a flexible document to be validated is introduced,
- an output portion through which said flexible document exits,
- an intermediate portion interposed between said input portion and said output portion, wherein said intermediate portion is configured as a cavity that functions as a passageway through which said flexible document is moves,
- movement members configured to handle said flexible document along a movement direction,
- at least one sensor positioned facing said cavity, and
- a deflector element configured to protrude in an inclined manner from a bottom of said cavity, wherein said deflector element is elastically deformable and is configured to deflect said flexible document along said movement direction away from said bottom to bring said flexible document against said at least one sensor.
A validation device for validation of flexible documents, comprising
- an input into which a flexible document to be validated is introduced,
- an output through which said flexible document exits,
- a passageway interposed between said input and said output through which said flexible document moves,
- at least one movement member configured to move said flexible document along a movement direction,
- at least one sensor facing the passageway, and
- a deflector element protruding inclined from a bottom of said passageway, wherein said deflector element is configured to deflect said flexible document along said movement direction away from said bottom to bring said flexible document against said at least one sensor, wherein said deflector element is elastically deformable.
A method of operating a validation device for validation of flexible documents, the method comprising
- introducing a flexible document to be validated into an input so that the flexible document is handled through a passageway interposed between said input and an output where said flexible document exits,
- moving, via at least one movement member, said flexible document along a movement direction,
- deflecting via at least one deflector element protruding inclined from a bottom of said passageway, said flexible document along said movement direction away from said bottom to bring said flexible document against at least one sensor, wherein said at least one deflector element is elastically deformable.
