Abstract
In a safe deposit apparatus of the type having a horizontally pivoted sector-shaped door with an interior pocket formed by a pivoted wall serving to eject articles from the pocket when the door is closed, the pivoted wall is normally biassed to the pocket-forming position and is displaceable therefrom to the ejecting position by a cam arrangement which becomes operable as the door is closed. Another cam arrangement maintains the pivoted wall in the ejecting position during opening the door. A locking mechanism permits opening of the door to a first position at which envelopes may be deposited, but prevents opening to a second position for the deposition of wallets except when released by a user's key.
