Abstract

A device for storing valuable objects, money in vaults in particular, comprising containers (5; 6; 7; 8) located separately of one another and on undercarriages (2), which may be adjustably rearranged on rails (1) in a vault, wherein each such container (5; 6; 7; 8) is equipped on the top thereof with at least two centering projections (3) and/or hollows (4), and on the bottom thereof with corresponding projections (3) and/or hollows (4), while each such undercarriage (2) has located on its top surface corresponding centering projections (3) and/or hollows (4) to rectify the containers (5; 6; 7; 8). Such containers (5; 6; 7; 8) are equipped with upper interconnecting contacts (9) and lower interconnecting contacts (10), while such upper interconnecting contacts (9), located on the top surface of each container (5,6,7,8), are connected to the follower unit (11) that is positioned in each such undercarriage (2). Each such container (5; 6; 7; 8) is equipped with an identification unit (12) with an input (13) for the contact unit (14), and each such identification unit (12) is connected to a line between the upper and the lower interconnecting contacts (9, 10), respectively, of such container (5; 6; 7; 8), while all follower units (11) are connected to the control unit (16) by means of the data line (15).
