RETURN STATION FOR REFUNDABLE OR BORROWED OBJECTS

An arrangement for return of an object for which a deposit has been paid or to a lending system has an acceptance zone for intake or positioning of the object to be accepted, a reading device for ascertaining an association of the object with a specific deposit or lending system, and a transporting device connected to the reading device so that after the object's association has been ascertained, the object is accepted and transported further in the arrangement. An identification sensor identifies the accepted object and, in the case of a redeemable object, acquires an appropriate amount of redemption or, in the case of a lending system, registers the acceptance of the object. Two blocking members are operationally connected to each other to form a lock for the object, one of the blocking members always being closed.
