Conveying device for a bank note processing device

Abstract

The invention relates to a transport apparatus for a bank note processing machine wherein bank notes are supplied via guiding element 2 to transport diverter 11 in order to be diverted by transport diverter 11 to a stacking pocket or stacking wheel. According to the invention, end area 18 of guiding element 2 facing transport diverter 11 has a width decreasing in transport direction 1. This means that the bank note to be diverted leaves guiding element 2 successively so as to prevent the trailing bank note edge from hitting surface 12 of diverter 11. Altogether, this measure reduces the noise formation. In advantageous embodiments it is provided that the thickness of end area 18 of guiding element 2 decreases in transport direction 1 and that guiding element 2 is provided at least in end area 18 with slots aligned in the transport direction.
