Abstract: There is disclosed a smudging-fluid dispensing apparatus for banknote and valuables containers internally provided with drawers (3) having predetermined work positions and extraction directions (3a), the apparatus comprising: a bottle (5) under pressure for the smudging fluid, channeling members (6) extending between the bottle (5) and the drawers (3) and including, at the drawers (3), movable fitting lengths (12) having hooking positions at which the drawers (3) and bottle (5) are connected with each other, electronic control and operation devices (7) for the supply of the smudging fluid, and guide elements (14) to impose to the fitting lengths (12) guide trajectories (14a) terminating at the hooking positions only in the presence of drawers (3) in the work positions.

Abstract: An anti-effraction device in particular for automatic dispensers of banknotes and valuables is provided which comprises a casing, a door formed in the casing, and at least one container internal to the casing and adapted to house banknotes and valuables, the anti-effraction device comprising time control members adapted to impose a delay period in the door-opening procedure and detection means adapted to detect the presence of banknotes and valuables in the container and to send the time control members a correction signal substantially depending on the presence of banknotes and valuables, said time control members being at least partly interlocked to said correction signal in a manner adapted to vary the delay period in the presence of the correction signal.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a protective envelope (2) having one aperture (3), casings (4) for banknotes and valuables (5), support and movement members (6) engaging the casings (4) and adapted to impose a first movement along a selection path to said casings, and electronic control means (9), the casings (4) being movably in engagement with the support and movement members (6) in a direction transverse to the selection path, and translation members (10) being also arranged which are adapted to impose a second movement to the casings (4), which is transverse to the selection path and passes at least close to the aperture (3), to make the casings (4) accessible for deposit and drawing operations manually carried out through the aperture (3).

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically receiving and dispensing banknotes and valuables comprising a protection casing (2) provided with access openings (3, 4), compartments (7) adapted to contain banknotes and valuables and movable along a loop-shaped movement path (6) extending within the protection casing (2) and passing close to the access openings (3, 4), drive and guide means (9) for moving the compartments (7), and electronic means (35) acting on the drive and guide means (9) and designed to select the compartments (7) to be positioned close to the access openings (3, 4), based on predetermined procedures and commands.

Abstract: A device used for protecting and handling bank notes and valuables including, within a housing, a protection housing, mobile elements having a sliding direction and a plurality of safety compartments consecutive with one another along the sliding direction, locking elements defining as many stop positions of the mobile elements as there are safety compartments along the sliding direction, and a control device driving the locking elements. A process includes the insertion of bank notes and valuables in various safety compartments and making gradually accessible the content of compartments according to prefixed time sequences.
