ABSTRACT:
An after-hours depository entrance of the drawer type employs an inclined passageway down through the drawer to receive a deposit. As the drawer is opened the passageway is "intercepted" by means in the drawer to detect any object trapped in the passageway before the drawer is fully open to receive a new deposit. As the drawer is closed, the new deposit is carried rearwardly in the passageway and finally, when the drawer is fully closed, it drops out through the bottom of the drawer into the vault. Two versions of the invention are disclosed, one for envelope deposits in which, as the drawer is opened, any envelope trapped therein is in effect destroyed or the drawer jammed against further opening by the interceptor means. The other version is for bag deposits in which, as the drawer is opened and if there is a bag trapped in it, the interceptor means likewise jams the drawer against further opening. In both versions the action of the interceptor means also frustrates any fishing attempts.
