Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) for filling a thin-walled transport container (12) with notes of value. The device (10) comprises a supply unit (100) for supplying the notes of value and a stacking unit (200) for stacking the supplied notes of value. Further, the device (10) comprises a receiving unit (400) for receiving the thin-walled transport container (12), a holding unit (600) for holding a first closing element (18) and a second closing element (20) for closing the thin-walled transport container (12), a displacement unit (700) for displacing a value note stack created by means of the stacking unit (200) into the thin-walled transport container (12), a retaining unit (500) for holding notes of value transported into the thin-walled transport container (12) in the orientation in which they have been supplied to the transport container (12) and/or a closure unit (300) for closing a closing unit (16) for closing the opening of the thin-walled transport container (12).

Claims

1. A device for filling a thin-walled transport container having an opening with notes of value, comprising

a supply unit for supplying the notes of value,

a stacking unit for stacking the supplied notes of value, and

a displacement unit for displacing a value note stack created by means of the stacking unit into the thin-walled transport container,

wherein the displacement unit displaces the value note stack into the transport container at least so far that between the opening of the transport container and the note of value supplied to the transport container as the last note of value a preset minimum distance is provided;

the device further comprising a support element on which at least a part of the notes of value of the value note stack created by means of the stacking unit is arranged in an upright position on one of its longitudinal edges, and

wherein in a first position, the support element is arranged partially within the opening of the transport container, and, in a second position, the support element is completely arranged outside the opening.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the stacking unit comprises a vane wheel.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the value note stack slides over the support element when the value note stack is displaced into the transport container.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the displacement unit comprises at least one L-shaped element, wherein a contact area of a first leg of the L-shaped element contacts the note of value when the value note stack is displaced into the transport container, and a second leg of the L-shaped element is at least as long as the preset minimum distance.

5. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a drive unit that moves a press-on area of the displacement unit into the opening of the transport container and out of the opening of the transport container.
