Abstract
The invention provides a dual function safe deposit apparatus which may be operated either without a key to receive envelopes and deposit them in one compartment, or with a key to receive wallets and deposit them in another compartment. The apparatus has an opening to receive deposits, the opening being equipped with a withdrawable shield having a slot for the receipt of envelopes, withdrawal of the shield to provide a larger opening for wallets being key controlled and linked with movement of a diverter member which diverts wallets, deposited while the shield is withdrawn, into a separate compartment from that into which envelopes, inserted through the slot in the shield, are delivered.
