ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the delivery and acception of articles made of a sheet-like material, particularly banknotes, documents, and the like, includes a carrier for the articles which can be conveyed in a tube by means of a flowing gas. The carrier includes two elements movable relative to each other which form a receptacle for the articles to be conveyed and at least one channel extending transversely to the direction of conveyance. In a closed position, the articles are secured in the receptacle and, when in an opened position, the articles are enabled to be transported into and out of the receptacle. A reception and transmission device includes a tube portion in which the carrier is located. The tube portion is provided with a lateral opening adapted to be closed in a largely air-tight manner, the tube portion being provided with a stop for stopping and orienting the carrier relative to the lateral opening. The apparatus further includes a slide for transporting the articles out of and into the carrier wherein the slide is movably supported relative to the tube portion between a retracted position and an extracted position. The slide includes a retaining portion for accepting and retaining the articles with the slide such that when in an extracted position, extending its retaining portion into the channel causes the carrier elements to move into their open position.
