A deposit safe (1) for receiving the contents of a cash in transit box (3) is adapted for mounting in a counter (2) of a security barrier in a customer service area of a financial institution. The deposit safe (1) comprises a first housing (5) which is supported on a second housing (6). The first housing (5) defines a first chamber (10) having a first access opening (12) closed by a closure panel (13) for receiving the cash in transit box (3). The second housing (6) defines a second chamber (15) for receiving the contents of the cash in transit box (3). A transfer element (23) comprising a first chute (24) is slldeable within the first housing (5) beneath the first chamber (10) from a receiving position with the chute (24) communicating with the cash in transit box (3) for receiving the contents therefrom to a discharge position for discharging the received contents into the second chamber (15). The transfer element (23) is co-operable with a bottom wall (305) of the cash in transit box (3), so that as the transfer element (23) is being urged from the discharge position to the receiving position the bottom wall (305) is urged from the closed to the open state. An interlock system is provided under the control of a control and activating circuit of the deposit safe (1) which prevents the transfer element (23) being urged from the discharge to the receiving position until the cash in transit box (3) is securely located in the first chamber (10) and secured by a latch (84) therein. A safe door (19) closes a second access opening (16) to the second chamber (15) for securing the contents in the second chamber (15). |
