          Application No. 08/266,558                                                  


          first sealing zone 12 and the second sealing zone 13 are                    
          horizontally offset from one another.                                       


               Edin discloses an arrangement for feeding banknotes which              
          includes a gripping means for transferring the notes from one               
          part of a transport path to another part.  As shown in Figure               
          5, the gripping means comprises two mutually co-acting wheels               
          or like elements 171,172, the rotational axes of which are                  
          roughly at right angles to the movement direction of the                    
          transport path shown by the lower, lefthand arrow, two                      
          mutually co-acting rollers or like elements 174,174', the                   
          rotational axes of which are substantially parallel with the                
          direction of movement of the transport path, a movable link                 
          173, in which the wheel 171 is journalled, and a bridge                     
          element 175 which is movably journalled to the movable link                 
          173 and in which the roller 174 is journalled.  At the site of              
          the gripping means 17, the transport path comprises two                     
          movable belts 51,52 which lie loosely in abutment with one                  
          another and between which documents are transported, either to              
          the refeed or return location 18, or from the upper                         
          arrangement part (the processing part) to the lower
