Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (1) servant à stocker et à distribuer des billets de banque (2), notamment pour des appareils de divertissement actionnés par de l'argent, et comprenant une entrée et une sortie de billets de banque (4, 5), une voie d'acheminement (F) pourvue d'un dispositif de transport (6), ainsi qu'un réservoir de billets de banque (7) mobile perpendiculairement à la voie d'acheminement (F). Le réservoir de billets de banque (7) est constitué d'une multitude de chambres (22) qui reçoivent chacune un billet de banque (2), qui sont formées par des plaques voisines (19) contraintes par des ressorts de traction (20) et auxquelles est associé au moins un dispositif écarteur de plaques (12, 13). Deux plaques voisines (19) peuvent être éloignées l'une de l'autre au moyen du dispositif écarteur de plaques (12, 13) pour la réception ou la distribution d'un billet de banque (2). Le billet de banque (2) est introduit dans la chambre (22) ou en est extrait et les plaques voisines (19) sont à nouveau amenées à leur position initiale dans le réservoir de billets de banque (7).
