Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001062639
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed is a friction wheel separator for separating sheetlike items, especially bank notes, comprising a feed store (5) for receiving a pile of sheetlike items (1), a separating roller (2) consisting of one or several friction elements (4) which engage with and convey a sheet (1a) that is to be separated from the feed store, and a retaining device (3) which, in association with the separating roller(2), forms a separating gap (7) through which the sheets to be separated (1a) are successively conveyed from said feed store (5). The retaining device (3) is provided with several friction areas (3a) for engaging with the sheets (1a) that are to be separated from the feed store (5) onwards. The friction elements (4) of the separating roller (2) and the friction areas (3a) of the retaining element (3) are made of the same friction material. According to a specific aspect of the invention, the sheetlike items are placed in the feed store (5) on driven feed rollers (11-14) so that the individual sheets can be fed to the separating gap (7) in a reliable manner, irrespective of the height of the pile of sheets.
