Abstract
A banknote container for automated teller machines includes a base, two mutually parallel side walls, rear wall, front wall, cover and pressure-exerting slide, arranged in the bottom container part such that it can be adjusted parallel to the side walls. Arranged on the pressure-exerting slide is a switch for controlling a display device. The switching element interacts with a switch-actuating track provided on the container base, extends parallel to the adjustment direction of the pressure-exerting slide and defines a switching point between two switching states which corresponds to a remaining-quantity-signaling position of the pressure-exerting slide, one switching state corresponding to the adjustment path of the pressure-exerting slide between the remaining-quantity-signaling position and an end position near the rear wall, and the other switching state corresponding to the adjustment path of the pressure-exerting slide between the remaining-quantity-signaling position and an end position in the vicinity of the front wall.
