A FLEXIBLE SPRINKLING DEVICE FOR AN INK-BASED NEUTRALISATION SYSTEM OF VALUES SUCH AS BANKNOTES

摘要

The present invention is enclosed in the area of intelligent banknote neutralisation systems, in particular components of such systems which provide said neutralisation. The invention includes a flexible sprinkling device (3) for an ink-based neutralisation system of values such as banknotes, which comprises a flat and flexible sleeve, wherein i) an input (2) and ii) a circuit (3) with a plurality of perforations (4) are provided in said sleeve, the input (2) being connected to the circuit (3) and the perforations (4) being so arranged on the sleeve that, under injection of ink through the input (2), provide for sprinkling of the ink to the outside of the sprinkling device (3) through the perforations (4). The device is particularly advantageous in flexible bags, used for transporting values between any two locations, typically a facility (e.g. a bank) and a vehicle (e.g. a valuables armoured car).
