  • Patent number: 11922751
    Abstract: A device for handling value documents, comprises a value document dispensing unit with a dispensing compartment for dispensing value documents and with a first closure element which in a closed position delimits the dispensing compartment on one side. The first closure element is movable from the closed position into an open position to open the dispensing compartment, and from the open position into the closed position to close the dispensing compartment. The device comprises at least one second closure element, which is movable from an open position into a closed position and from the closed position into the open position. The second closure element is arranged in such a way that access to value documents provided in the dispensing compartment is only possible if both the first closure element and the second closure element are in their open positions.

  • Publication number: 20230343162
    Abstract: A device for handling value documents can include a dispensing compartment for the withdrawal of value documents. The dispensing compartment is delimited by a depositing element, a delimiting element, and a closure element. The delimiting element is arranged in a first delimiting position to supply the value documents into the dispensing compartment. With a movement of the depositing element in the direction of the delimiting element, the delimiting element is moved from the first delimiting position into a second delimiting position. In order to open the dispensing compartment, the closure element is moved from the closed position into the open position, wherein an engaging element of the delimiting element engages the closure element when moving the closure element, or in the open position of the closure element, if the delimiting element is in the second delimiting position.

  • Publication number: 20220335769
    Abstract: An apparatus for handling notes of value can comprise a dispensing compartment for withdrawing the notes of value. The dispensing compartment is bounded on a first side by a depositing element and on a second side by a delimiting element. Furthermore, the apparatus comprises at least one first sensor unit for detecting an initialization position of the depositing element. The first sensor unit is designed to generate a first sensor signal and to transmit said first sensor signal to a control unit. The control unit is designed to take the first sensor signal as a basis for actuating a first drive unit such that the depositing element is moved a predetermined distance away from the delimiting element from the initialization position to a first supply position for supplying the notes of value.
