A card stacker includes a stack support that supports a stack of card substrates, a card lift mechanism, a card feed mechanism, and a retraction mechanism. The card lift mechanism is configured to support the card substrate in a lift position below the stack support, and drive the card substrate to a raised position, in which the card substrate is supported on the stack support at the bottom of the stack. The card feed mechanism includes a first transport roller having a feed position, in which the first transport roller engages a top surface of the card substrate in the lift position, and a retracted position when the card substrate is in the raised position, in which the first transport roller is on the bottom side of the stack support. The retraction mechanism is configured to move the first transport roller between the feed and retracted positions.

A device for stacking notes of value includes at least one circulating belt arrangement including an endless belt guided over rollers serving as deflecting elements. The circumferential surface of the belt has at least one transport tongue into which at least a section of a note of value is insertable. The device includes at least one strip-off element that contacts the note for the removal from the transport tongue. The device includes a contact element which is arranged and configured such that during the transport in the transport tongue the note moves the contact element into a first position. The contact element contacts an area of the note at least after the removal of the note of value from the transport tongue up to the arrival of this note on the deposit surface or on the upper note of value of a value note stack deposited on the deposit surface.

A controller of a sheet handling apparatus (for example, banknote handling machine) stops an operation of storing a sheet in a storage bag (for example, banknote storage bag) on the condition that the number of sheets (for example, banknotes) received by a number information receiver is less than a predetermined number, when a distance between a receiver (for example, each stage) and a presser (for example, pressing plate) that is pressing the sheets stored in a storage bag which is supported by a support (for example, each holding member), toward the receiver, is greater than a predetermined distance.

A sheet storage apparatus (for example, a banknote storage mechanism) includes an entering unit (for example, a pushing unit) configured to enter into a storage bag (for example, a banknote storage bag) supported by a supporter (for example, holding members) and a controller configured to control the driving unit (for example, a motor) for driving the entering unit. The controller controls the driving unit such that the entering unit enters into the storage bag supported by the supporter and comes in contact with the sheet stored in the storage bag to detect an upper end position of the sheet stored in the storage bag.

A device (10) for filling a transport container (12) with notes of pecuniary value, has a displacement unit (700) that conveys the notes of pecuniary value into the transport container (12) through a movable frame (16). When the transport container (12) is closed, the displacement unit (700) is in a second operating state in which its cross sectional area is reduced so far that it passes through the partially closed frame (16).
