  • the closure element is designed and arranged such that, in the closure position in which it is not deflected by a value document, it prevents a movement of a value document which has completely entered the stacking compartment back into the inlet opening. Such a movement may occur, for example, when the document of value is thrown back from a side wall of the stacking compartment in the direction of the inlet opening.
  • the closure element thus ensures that the completely entered value document can fall in the direction of the floor element without colliding with a leading edge of a following value document in the direction of transport.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un contenant de sécurité pour le stockage de documents de valeurs sous forme d'empilement, comprenant un compartiment d'empilement pour la réception des documents de valeur sous forme empilée, un élément de fond disposé dans le compartiment d'empilement, sur lequel vient s'appliquer un document de valeur ou une pile de documents de valeur, et une ouverture d'entrée conduisant dans le compartiment d'empilement, disposée de telle façon que des documents de valeur amenés au contenant de sécurité, tombent, après introduction par l'ouverture d'entrée, dans le compartiment d'empilement sur l'élément de fond ou au moins un document de valeur porté par celui-ci, en particulier, un document de valeur, tombe sur le dessus d'une pile de documents portée par l'élément de fond. Il est prévu, dans la direction du transport, dans l'ouverture d'entrée ou à l'arrière de celle-ci, au moins un élément de fermeture qui est déplaçable, cet élément présentant au moins une section qui, à partir d'une position de fermeture, dans laquelle ladite section empêche un déplacement d'un document de valeur complètement entré dans le compartiment d'empilement vers l'arrière, dans l'ouverture d'entrée, en une position de traversée, dans laquelle elle conduit au moins partiellement le document de valeur, de telle façon que ledit document puisse parvenir dans le compartiment d'empilement, et exerce sur la section, une force de rappel le poussant vers la position de fermeture, et de façon que le document de valeur amené à une vitesse à l'intérieur d'une zone de vitesse prédéterminée puisse être déplacé dans la position de passage, à l'encontre de la force de rappel.
