Device for handling sheet-like material

Abstract

An arrangement for effective handling of sheet material, such as banknotes, or transferred messages printed on sheet material, wherein the arrangement comprises sheet bundling means ( 33 ), a store ( 25, 27 ) of so-called enveloping material ( 26, 28 ), means ( 30, 32, - 34 ) for enveloping bundles of sheet material with material ( 26, 28 ) taken from the store ( 25, 29 ) of enveloping material, wherein said store includes two mutually co-acting rolls ( 25′, 27′ ) of enveloping material; and processors for co-ordinating and controlling the co-action between the various units in accordance with a predetermined pattern. The store of enveloping material ( 25, 27 ) has pulse generating elements ( 2521, 2531, 2522, 2532 ). Pulse reading elements ( 29 ) for reading the pulses generated in response to roll movement and sending these pulses to the processor are provided on a fixed body ( 20 ) of the arrangement and in close connection with the pulse generating elements.

1 . An arrangement for effective handling of sheet material, such as banknotes, or transferred messages printed on sheet material, wherein the arrangement comprises means ( 33 ) for collecting the sheet material into bundles; a store ( 25 ,  27 ) of so-called enveloping material ( 26 ,  28 ); means ( 30 ,  32 ,- 34 ) for enveloping a bundle of sheet material with material ( 26 , 28 ) taken from the store of enveloping material, wherein said store includes two mutually co-acting rolls ( 25 ′,  27 ′) of enveloping material; and a processor ( 15 ) for co-ordinating and controlling the co-action between the various units in the arrangement in accordance with a predetermined pattern, characterized in that the store of enveloping material ( 25 ,  27 ) includes pulse generating elements ( 2521 ,  2531 ;  2522 ,  2532 ); and in that pulse reading elements ( 29 ) which function to read pulses delivered in response to movement of the rolls  825 ′,  27 ′) and transfer these pulses to the processor ( 15 ) are provided on a fixed body ( 20 ) on the arrangement in the close proximity of the pulse generating elements ( 2521 ,  2522 ) of the store (e.g.  25 ).  
     
     
         2 . An arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the pulse generating elements (e.g.  2521 ,  2522 ) are disposed on end walls (e.g.  252 ,  253 ) of the enveloping material store ( 25 ,  27 ) and consist of an outer clock pulse generating element ( 2521 ) close to the periphery of respective rolls ( 25 ′), and an inner information generating element ( 2522 ) closer to the centre of respective rolls ( 25 ′); and in that a pulse reading element ( 291 ,  292 ) is provided for each ( 2521  and  2522 ) of the two pulse generating elements.
