Patent ID: 7950518

Claim:
Apparatus for aligning at least one voucher, comprising: first and second transport elements for transporting the voucher on a transport plane of a transport path; at least one first rotating transport element is provided that generates a drive force acting on the voucher obliquely to a center axis lying on the transport plane of the transport path; at least one second rotating transport element is provided that generates a drive force on the voucher acting parallel to the center axis of the transport path; at least one first drive unit for selectively moving the first rotating transport element at least to the transport plane or away from the transport plane along a first pathway; at least one second drive unit for selectively moving the second rotating transport element at least to the transport plane or away from the transport plane along a second pathway; and at least one pressure unit that applies a pressure force in a pressure position to the voucher perpendicular to the transport plane.
