Abstract
The invention relates to a transport apparatus for a bank note processing machine wherein bank notes are supplied via a guiding element to a transport diverter in order to be diverted to a stacking pocket or stacking wheel. According to the invention an end area of the guiding element facing the transport diverter has a width decreasing in the transport direction. As a result, the bank note to be diverted leaves the guiding element successively so as to prevent the trailing bank note edge from hitting the surface of the diverter and reduces noise.
