Active-protection apparatus for spraying banknotes and valuables with a marking fluid

An active-protection apparatus for spraying banknotes and valuables with a marking fluid, comprising:

• a tank for the marking fluid, canalizations extending between said tank and the banknotes and valuables to be sprayed, and
• dispensing means to cause a flow of marking fluid under pressure to be fed along said canalizations,
• said tank being stiff and of a box-shaped configuration and internally having a cavity housing the marking fluid, at least part of said canalizations and at least part of said dispensing means, so as to define a spraying unit to be positioned contiguous to the banknotes and valuables to be sprayed,
• said tank having a bottom wall defining a work surface facing the banknotes and valuables and said canalizations opening at said work surface,
• wherein said canalizations comprise at least one flexible hose placed in said tank and provided at the end with a dipping mouth movable under gravity within said tank.
