A lockable cassette (,) having a lid (,) is closed and locked when removed from a cassette casing but is released and unlocked when inserted into the casing by virtue of the actuation of an element (,) which functions to move a lock bolt (,) from a lid-latching starting position to a lid release position. The element includes an electric relay (,) and a two-arm lever (,). A core (,) of the relay is attached to one arm (,) of the two-arm lever and is actuable by a first pressure spring (,), wherein the other arm (,) of the lever forms abutment surfaces or stop surfaces for the lock bolt in its lid latching position when the relay is inactive. The arrangement further includes a second pressure spring (,) which is attached to a counterweight (,) which, when the relay is inactive, lightly abuts, but is not fastened to, the other arm (,) of the two-arm lever for actuation of the lever in a direction opposite to the direction in which the core moves to allow the lock bolt to occupy the release position. The first pressure spring, the second pressure spring and the counterweight are configured to balance the mass of the relay core.

Lockable cassette for the storage of valuable documents or valuable articles

An arrangement for feeding sheets from a bundle of sheets includes a wheel, roller or belt which, in operation, is located at one end of the bundle and which functions to feed-out the outermost sheets of the bundle, and a lifting mechanism for lifting the bundle in a direction towards the wheel. The lifting mechanism includes a post and a bundle-carrying plate which is movable up and down the post. The arrangement includes a spring element which functions to lock the plate to the post in a rest state and has a free-end which is fitted to the post and defines, with the longitudinal axis of the post, an angle other than 90.degree. and whose remaining end is attached to the plate and movable perpendicular to the post. The arrangement also includes an actuator which is fitted to the post close to the spring element and which is releasably attached mechanically to a drive mechanism for moving the plate relative to the post. As the actuator is moved along the post, the actuator acts on the spring element so as to release the plate and enable it to move along the post.
