Abstract: An arrangement for depositing valuable documents includes provisions for feeding the documents through an opening via intermediate storage between two mutually coacting belts (13, 14) to another opening leading to a storage space (18) of the arrangement. A command device can be operated to control the function of the arrangement from an external location. The coacting belts (13, 14) are part of an intermediate storage device (131-141-20) which is pivotally mounted in a housing (16), allowing an infeed-and-outfeed opening (15) between the two coacting belts to be positionally adjusted to one of the openings, either in response to a command from the command device (34) or in response to a signal from a sensor (17) adjacent a document transport path in the proximity of the intermediate storage device (131-141-20).

Abstract: An arrangement for feeding banknotes to a storage space comprises a command device 64 for externally controlling the functions of the arrangement, a detector for detecting and examining sequentially transported banknotes and for internally controlling their transport, a collecting location 22 for banknotes which pass the detector sequentially in series, and a plurality of storage locations each having an infeed 260, 270 which form part of a transport path. The arrangement includes a transporter 23 for conveying a bundle of banknotes in the collecting location either to an outfeed opening 62 or to a feed table 24 on the input side of the transport path. The transporter includes a roller chain 230 having a gripper 231 for transporting documents to the transport path, and a toothed arm 232 which coacts with the roller chain 230 for transporting documents to the outfeed opening.
