Patent ID: 8764011

Claim:
A device for handling notes of value comprising: a first module including a transport mechanism for transporting notes of value; and a second module including a transport mechanism for transporting notes of value; wherein: at least one of the first module is movable relative to the second module, or the second module is movable relative to the first module in at least one direction; in a first operating state of the device, at least one of the transport mechanism of the first module or the transport mechanism of the second module transport notes of value from at least one of the first module to the second module, or from the second module to the first module; the second module comprises at least one guiding element for guiding the notes of value during the transport of the notes of value from at least one of the first module to the second module or from the second module to the first module; in the first operating state of the device, the at least one guiding element is aligned in an operating position for guiding the notes of value; in the first operating state of the device, at least a portion of the at least one guiding element projects into the first module; when the modules are moved relative to each other the first module tilts at least a section of the at least one guiding element over by the contact to the at least one guiding element such in the direction of the second module that when the modules are moved relative to each other the at least one guiding element at least temporarily contacts a surface of the first module facing the second module; in a second operating state, the first module and the second module are moved relative to each other such that no notes of value can be transported from at least one of the first module to the second module or from the second module to the first module; in the second operating state of the device, the at least one guiding element does not contact the first module and aligns in the operating position; the second module includes a boundary wall that restricts the second module in the direction of the first module, and that the boundary wall includes an opening through which opening the notes of value can be transported during the transport of the notes of value from at least one of the first module to the second module or from the second module to the first module; and when the modules are moved relative to each other the at least one guiding element is tilted over such that it at least temporarily contacts the surface of the boundary wall facing the first module.
