Abstract

The automatic cash dispenser has the following elements, a safe (18) for receiving at least one banknote cassette (32) and a separating device (34) for drawing off the banknotes out of the banknote cassette (32), of a banknote-dispensing compartment (50), which can be closed by a closure device (52), of a conveying device for conveying the banknotes from the separating device (34) to the dispensing compartment (50), of a control device for controlling the separating and the conveying devices. Also an operating panel (14, 16) with actuating elements for actuating the control device. The dispensing compartment (50) is arranged above the safe (18). In a central region of its top surface (22), the safe (18) has an aperture (42) for the through-passage of the conveying device. The conveying device is made up of a first conveying section (36, 38), which extends, within the safe, to a transfer location (46) in the vicinity of the aperture (42), and of a second conveying section (44, 48), which can be released from said first conveying section and extends from the transfer location (46) to the dispensing compartment (50).
