Abstract
An arrangement for collecting sequentially transported bank notes includes two endless belts (21, 22) and a collecting chamber (1) having a plurality of movable flaps (3, 4) spaced sequentially in the direction of transport and briefly swung out simultaneously to displace each bank note to one side of the chamber. The flaps swing when 4/5ths of an incoming bank note are located in the chamber, and may also be arranged to swing out a second time after a predetermined interval. The lower flaps (3) are smaller than but similar in configuration to the upper flaps (4).
