Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of harvesting and scheduling according to a numbering sequence of bundles of valuable papers by means of pallets of transfer conveyed individually between a post delivering bundles containing m paper-value including the numbering is a continuous sequence of m numbers and a finishing station forming a package containing bundles of paper-value m and numbered in one predetermined sequence of numbers.
  • the invention also relates to a setting installation implementation of the method according to the invention.
  • Securities such as fiduciary papers, banknotes, etc. are printed either at sheet, either to the reel and subsequently cut into sheets, each sheet containing a number of lines and columns allowing to have on a sheet of determined dimensions n ordered papers according to l lines and k columns.
  • numbers the securities according to various methods are formed, usually one hundred leaves, and is disposed in a cutting apparatus to form after cutting the bundles of hundred paper-value. Then we start again with a another pile of hundred leaves and so on.
  • the collection of the valuable papers coming out of the cutting can be done either by bundle or individually by known devices, for example example that described in US 3,939,621 of the same applicant comprising a set of fixed pockets on two rotating drums that work alternately in harvesting and unloading mode, or for example the device described in EP-B-656 309 of the same applicant according to which one disposes under a table as many pockets as the number of paper-value impressions on a leaf and after cutting wads of value papers formed up to the vertical of these pouches and by means of an adequate device we open windows to drop bundles in the pockets in question.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a new method and a harvesting and scheduling facility with pallets conveyed individually allowing precisely to adapt the installations without the disadvantages supra.
  • the harvesting and scheduling process according to the invention is determined by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the advantages of this process are the fact that the use pallets conveyed individually allows modify their number, possibly their dimensions to match both the number of impressions of paper-value per sheet and, secondly, adapt them to the dimensions of these papers. In effect, with this process the adaptation of the installation can be done very quickly, without wasting time and low cost.
  • the scheduling of bundles in pallets is easier since the pallets are loaded each time with q wads forming a predetermined sequence of qxm numbers.
  • the bundles can be banded before being loaded on a pallet.
  • the invention also relates to a setting installation implementation of the process as determined by the characterizing claim 6.
  • the means of driving the pallets of the first circuit can pass them in front of the delivery station bundles in the direction contrary which allows to take into account the numbering different or package formation corresponding to a desired sequence.
  • the first and the second circuits are either horizontal or vertical.
  • the circuit is composed of two branches horizontally on which pallets are the passage between two branches is done by elevators what is known in the field and does not not the subject of the present invention.
  • the installation is relatively cheap and can easily be adapted to the availability of premises where the installation takes place.
  • FIGS 1 to 4 show schematically the main steps of the method according to the invention in using two vertical circuits.
  • FIG. 5 is an installation for implementing the process in a particular case of transformation of a collection of valuable papers by sorting.
  • Figure 6 is a schematic side view of a pallet while it is loaded.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic rear view of a palette.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic plan view of a referrals concerning the circuits of the installation.
  • FIG 1 we schematically represented a first circuit A arranged vertically and on which are placed n pallets.
  • the circuit includes two parallel branches, one upper and one lower connected by two elevators A1 and A2 allowing transfer the pallets.
  • a second similar circuit B also includes n pallets numbered n + 1 up to 2n and it also includes two parallel branches a superior and a lower connected by two elevators B1 and B2.
  • All pallets passing to circuit B received the same number of bundles (usually 10 bundles of 100 papers-value each).
  • the pallets on circuit A start the same cycle again previously, while pallets in circuit B pass one after the other to the unloading E and packages of bundles find are unloaded at a finishing station.
  • finishing station we can put a banner grouping the bundles that are there and then we also has a package around the package as well than any other finishing operation such as inscriptions or a label with information about the content of each package.
  • a scheduling can be more complicated and in this case the position of the pallets must be changed. This can be achieved using a referral, by example on the upper branch of the first circuit A to be able to sort palettes as for example one done in a railway yard. So, you can temporarily leave one or more pallets waiting to pass others and so after.
  • this facility was modified by adding a second circuit B 'similar to the circuit A'.
  • the two T1, T2 shunting stations are functioning, since the harvesting process and scheduling according to the present invention is not subject to a sorting of securities.
  • Circuit A ' comprises a first elevator A'1 and a second elevator A'2 and the second circuit B 'is also provided with two lifts B'1 and B'2, to allow a passage of pallets from upper branch to branch lower.
  • the interconnection between the two circuits is carried out near the elevators A'2 and B'1 in setting up, for example, a retractable guide allowing pallets to move from one circuit to another the other.
  • FIG 6 we schematically represented a pallet which actually consists of a tray P equipped on its lower part of a projection 10 allowing guide the palette when it is on a as in the case of Figure 8.
  • the pallet P is driven in displacement by means 11 which can be either pebble driven continuously, whether treadmills or Similar.
  • the whole is inside a guide rail formed by two profiles 12, 13 as shown in Figure 6.
  • the pallet is equipped with a inclined plane 14 and a bearing surface 15 against which are placed papers-value 16 pushed by a device 17 at the delivery station of bundles.
  • the pallet At the issuing station of the bundles, the pallet is not in contact with the devices 11, by example, by means of a cam that pushes it towards the high, the time that the bundles are loaded and by afterwards we let it lean against the devices 11 to continue his way and so on.
  • the pallet is equipped with two R springs for exercising perpendicular pressure to the value papers and the keep in place, since in reality the bundles of securities are only in contact with the surface 15 and the inclined plane 14, the other four sides being free.
  • FIG 8 we have represented as an example a referral.
  • a palette P sa guide projection 10 and a switch allowing for example to pass a pallet is all right, either pass on a branch of the circuit.
  • This switch is formed by a block 21 shaped approximation of T with a groove also in T-shape and a guide pin 22 pivoted to a end 23 allows either to pass the pallet the horizontal part of the T towards the vertical part, either to let the pallet circulate only on the horizontal part.
  • Such referral devices are used when the circuit A 'is provided with additional branches in order to perform a sorting pallets to change their order between two successive passages in front of the issuing post of bundles.
