Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) for handling notes of value, comprising a first transport path (12), a second transport path (14) and at least one third transport path (16), wherein the notes of value can be transported along each transport path (12, 14, 16). Further, the device (10) has a switch (18) via which the three transport paths (12 to 16) can be connected to each other and with the aid of which the notes of value can be derouted from one of the transport paths (12 to 16) in another one. At least one transport element (26 to 30) is assigned to each of the transport paths (12 to 16) with the aid of which the notes of value can be supplied from the switch (18) to the respective transport path (12 to 16) or vice versa from the respective transport path (12 to 16) to the switch (18). The three transport elements (26 to 30) are driven by the same drive unit, wherein the direction of rotation of at least one of the transport elements (30) can be reversed independently from the direction of rotation of the other two transport elements (26, 28) relative to the direction of rotation of the other two transport elements (26, 28).

Dependent claims

A device for handling notes of value, comprising a first transport path, a second transport path and at least one third transport path, wherein the notes of value are transportable along each of the transport paths,

comprising a switch via which the three transport paths are connectable to each other and with the aid of which the notes of value are reroutable from one of the transport paths in another transport path preset by the switch position,
comprising at least one first transport element with the aid of which the notes of value are suppliable from the switch to the first transport path and/or from the first transport path to the switch,
comprising at least one second transport element with the aid of which the notes of value are suppliable from the switch to the second transport path and/or from the second transport path to the switch, and
comprising at least one third transport element with the aid of which the notes of value are suppliable from the switch to the third transport path and/or from the third transport path to the switch,
wherein the first transport element, the second transport element and the third transport element are driven by the same drive unit, wherein the direction of rotation of at least one of the transport elements is reversible independently from the directions of rotation of the other two transport elements.
