Abstract:
An apparatus for aligning notes of value along a transport path has a note reader with a scanning line with areas detection areas there along. The scanning areas are arranged along a line orthogonally with respect to a central axis of the transport path. A first and at least one second transport elements serve to transport the note along the transport path in at least one transport direction. The transport elements each contact the note in a contact area. At least one aligning apparatus is used for aligning the note, which is arranged between the first and second transport elements and forms a section of the transport path. The note reader detects the trailing edge of the note in a first scanning area and in a second scanning area.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path comprising:\n scanning the note of value by means of at least one scanning line of at least one bank note reader, wherein the scanning line has a plurality of detection areas along the scanning line, wherein each detection area scans a scanning area in a transport plane of the transport path, wherein the scanning areas are arranged along a line extending orthogonally with respect to the central axis of the transport path, transporting the note of value by means of a first transport element and by means of at least one second transport element along the transport path in a transport direction, wherein the transport elements each contact the note of value in a contact area, and wherein the note of value is moved to at least one aligning apparatus which is arranged between the first transport element and the second transport element and forms a section of the transport path, characterized in that by means of the scanning line of the bank note reader a trailing edge of the note of value is detected in a first scanning area and in a second scanning area, and in that the first scanning area on a first side of the central axis has the same lateral distance to the central axis of the transport path as the contact area of the second transport element, and that the second scanning area on a second side of the central axis opposite the first side has the same lateral distance to the central axis of the transport path as the contact area of the second transport element.
