A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002318B2) discloses a device designed for transporting notes of value efficiently. The device includes a first idler pulley and a second idler pulley, with an endless belt running around them. It features at least one guide element with a receiving opening and a freely rotatable guide roller that can be positioned in two receiving positions. The guide roller's axis of rotation varies in distance from the plane of the idler pulleys based on its position, affecting the wrap angle of the belt. The device is capable of transporting individual notes or stacks of value notes securely between the belt and the guide roller.

Furthermore, the patent details the construction of the guide roller, which includes an axle element with connecting areas at each end for positioning in the guide element. The axle element consists of two parts inserted into opposite sides of the roller element, connected by various methods like plug-in, snap-in, press, screw, or welded connections. This design ensures stability and proper functioning of the guide roller during the transportation process. Overall, the patented device offers a sophisticated solution for handling valuable notes with precision and reliability, making it a valuable innovation in the field of note transportation systems.
