Claim Text:
1. A cash cassette, comprising a receiving compartment for receiving a value note stack; a bottom unit which limits the receiving compartment in one direction; and a press-on unit for exerting a counterforce directed opposite to the direction of deposit of notes of value on the value note stack received in the receiving compartment; the press-on unit being movable in the direction of deposit and opposite to the direction of deposit; wherein the bottom unit includes at least a first snap-in element having a sloping portion and a steep edge extending generally vertically relative to the bottom unit; wherein the press-on unit has a second snap-in element that is complementarily formed to the first snap-in element the second snap-in element including an elastically deformable hinge, a stiff portion extending from the elastically deformable hinge, and a foot portion at a distal end of the stiff portion, the stiff portion is stiff as compared to the elastically deformable hinge; wherein via the first and the second snap-in element a snap-fit connection between the bottom unit and the press-on unit for exerting the counterforce on the value note stack can be established where the foot portion abuts the steep edge; and when the foot portion is received within the first snap-in element such that the foot portion abuts against the steep edge, the elastically deformable hinge permits the press-on unit to slidably shift a predetermined distance in the deposit direction to facilitate removal of notes of value from the value note stack by a protecting segment of a pull-off roll, the protecting segment protrudes outward from the pull-off roll and upon contacting the value note stack pushes the value note stack and the press-on unit in the deposit direction to cause the elastically deformable hinge to bend when the foot portion abuts the steep edge.
