The sheet storage apparatus of the present disclosure includes an attachment unit including an attachment portion to which a storage bag for sheets is attached, a moving unit that moves the sheets toward an inside of the storage bag, and a first slide unit that slides at least any one of the attachment unit and the moving unit such that a relative position between the attachment unit and the moving unit is changed between a first position in which the attachment portion is covered with the moving unit and a second position in which the attachment portion is exposed to allow attaching or removing of the storage bag.

A drawer for ATM, Bancomat and the like, for banknotes and valuables, including: a base support suitable to support the banknotes along a support plane on a first side, a marking device including: a tank including marking fluid, a distribution device, in fluid passage connection with the tank and suitable for conveying the marking fluid from the tank to the banknotes for marking, transfer device suitable for transferring, on command, the marking fluid from the tank to the banknotes via the distribution device, wherein the tank is arranged, with respect to the base support, on a second side, opposite the first side, and wherein the distribution device is suitable for transferring the marking fluid to the first side in the direction of the banknotes.

A security container cassette for banknotes or values for Cash machines, ATM, and the like is provided, defining an internal volume and including: a first container arranged in the internal volume and close to an external portion of the security container cassette and banknotes and values, the first container having an internal volume separated from the external portion of the security container cassette by at least one separating wall, including passage windows or weakened upper portions, the first container being designed to contain marking fluid.

Provided is a security system for secure delivery of valuable goods. The security system includes an asset, and a portable container for transporting the valuable goods to or from the asset. An alarm system is provided for generating an alarm upon the portable container being stolen. Advantageously, the alarm system may reduce the likelihood of successful CIT armed robbery in which the portable container is stolen, thereby deterring the CIT armed robbery altogether.

An ink-staining anti-theft cash box includes cash box mounted mainframe of bill acceptor, automatic vending machine or service kiosk and defining accommodation chamber, front opening and top mounting hole, ink cartridge including cartridge body mounted top mounting hole of mainframe, a plurality of ink holders accommodated cartridge body and actuator adapted for triggering ink holders, anti-theft security module with trigger unit mounted cash box, locking mechanism including control unit and operating unit operable drive control unit in locking or unlocking trigger unit. If cash box removed from mainframe by force without unlocking locking mechanism according normal unlocking procedure, trigger unit of anti-theft security module trigger actuator of ink cartridge, forcing respective ink holders to ink-stain storage bills in box body with unfading ink, causing bills lose their market value or transaction capabilities, deterring criminals to limit their criminal acts and enhancing security level of cash box.

A medium handling device is provided including a stage on which a rectangular shaped medium is stacked in an vertical direction, and a liquid spraying mechanism including plural liquid spray nozzles that extend along the vertical direction and that spray a liquid at a medium stacked on an upper face of the stage. The plural liquid spray nozzles are respectively provided at positions facing at least three side edges of the stacked medium, and each of the plural liquid spray nozzles is disposed so as to spray the liquid at a specific spray angle with respect to the respective facing side edge.

A valuable media cassette comprises a cover and a valuable media storage base. The cover comprises two ink bags filled with indelible ink. Each ink bag situated on opposing sides of an inside portion of the cover and encased by a blast energy collection plate such that portions of the bag extends partially through serrated teeth of the blast energy collection plate. The blast energy collection plates harness energy associated with a blast force causing the serrated teeth to displace and puncture the ink bags when a blast occurs. The indelible ink is dispersed throughout an inside of the cassette coating the valuable media stored in the cassette with the indelible ink and rendering the valuable media unusable or damaged.

An automated teller machine comprises an output compartment for the output of notes of value and a closing element (14) which, in a closed state, closes the output compartment. An output area (12) is delimited by a first delimiting element (16, 22) and at least a second delimiting element (18, 20) and, in the closed state, by the closing element (14). An arrangement (110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610) for monitoring the output area (12) comprises at least a sensor unit (112, 122, 212, 222, 512, 520, 312, 612, 712, 812) which is arranged and configured such that it detects an element (E, E1, E2) arranged in the output area.

A load management system includes: an image acquisition sensor configured to acquire image data including an analysis target image including a load loaded in a medium processing apparatus; a judgment circuitry configured to judge whether or not the image data is authentic; and an image analysis circuitry configured to analyze the analysis target image to acquire information about the load when the image data is authentic.
