DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the automatic transaction apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
[0012]
【Example】
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the automatic transaction apparatus according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the present invention is applied to ATM.
As shown in FIG. 2, the ATM 11 generally includes a housing 14, a door 16, and an operation panel 21. Note that the position of the door 16 is not limited to the front side of the housing 14 on which the operation panel 21 is provided, and may be provided on the side surface or on the back side. Further, since the handle and the key provided on the door 16 can be used in any form, their illustration and description are omitted.
[0013]
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the main part of the present embodiment with the door 16 opened. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the main part of this embodiment with the door 16 closed.
The weight unit 12 called BRU or the like housed in the casing 14 of the ATM 11 has a caster 13 attached to the lower part of the unit 12 from the viewpoint of workability and safety. As a result, as shown by a one-dot chain line in the figure, when the unit 12 is pulled out from the casing 14 of the ATM 11, the unit 12 can be easily moved by the caster 13.
[0014]
When the unit 12 is housed in the housing 14, the unit 12 can be easily moved by the caster 13 as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. In the housed state, the caster 13 of the unit 12 is inserted into the notch 15 provided in the housing 14.
In this embodiment, the caster 13 is inserted into the notch 15 in order to increase the capacity of the unit 12. However, the door 16 is provided with a closing member 18 that closes the notch 15 with the door 16 closed. For this reason, when the door 16 is closed, the notch 15 is completely closed by the closing member 18 as shown in FIG. Depending on the installation location of the ATM 11, dust, insects, and small animals may enter the housing 4 from the notch 15, which may reduce the reliability of the ATM 11. In this embodiment, the notch 15 Such a problem does not occur because the structure is completely closed by the closing member 18.
[0015]
On the other hand, since the door 16 is normally composed of a thick plate for crime prevention, a large load is applied to a hinge (not shown) when opened, and the door 16 tends to hang gradually toward the installation surface.
However, in this embodiment, since the notch 15 protrudes from the door 16 in the installation surface direction, the notch 15 also functions as a support when the door 16 is opened. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent an accident in which the door 16 falls on a maintenance person's foot or the like, or an accident in which the ATM 11 falls due to the weight of the door 16 when the door 16 is opened.
[0016]
Furthermore, even when the door 16 is provided on the side visible to the user who uses the ATM 11, the notch 15 is not exposed to the outside, so that the appearance is good. That is, when the door 16 is closed, the exposed surface of the closing member 18 is provided with the door 16 of the housing 14 together with the door 16 and the skirt 19 provided at the lower portion of the door 16 as shown in FIG. A so-called flash surface can be formed in which a substantially identical outer peripheral surface as the side is formed.

An example is shown. Of course, the means for reducing the sliding friction is not limited to that shown in FIG.
[0018]
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a main part of another embodiment of the automatic transaction apparatus according to the present invention.
In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the door 16-1 covers the skirt 19. When the door 16-1 is closed, the closing member 18-1 is provided integrally with the door 16-1 at a position where the notch 15 between the door 16-1 and the caster 13 is closed. That is, a part of the lower portion of the door 16-1 also functions as a part of the closing member 18-1.
[0019]
Therefore, even when the door 16-1 is provided on the side visible to the user who uses the ATM 11, the notch 15 is not exposed to the outside, so that the appearance is good. That is, in the state where the door 16-1 is closed, as shown in FIG. 6, the exposed surface of the closing member 18-1 is substantially the same as the side of the housing 14 on which the door 16-1 is provided together with the door 16-1. So-called flash surface forming the same outer peripheral surface is possible.
[0020]
Also in this embodiment, the closing member 18-1 may be provided with means for reducing sliding friction with the installation surface as shown in FIG.
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by the Example, this invention is not limited to the said Example, It cannot be overemphasized that various deformation | transformation and improvement are possible.
