DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a remote control safe according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an application example of the remote control safe according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In these figures, the remote-controlled safe of the embodiment of the present invention is provided, for example, in an office of a gasoline filling station, and the safe 11 placed in a less conspicuous place in this office is an electric box. The controller 14 has the lock 12 and the controller 14 unlocks the electric lock 12 when the personal identification number input by the remote control unit 13 is matched.

The safe 11 is an inconspicuous place,
For example, it is an underground type that is placed under the floor near the desk 16 used by the person in charge in the office 15, and a part of the floor is opened in a rectangular shape, and the lower side is a solid partition such as concrete. It is arranged in a storage portion formed in a concave shape at 17.
A lid-shaped floor plate 18 that opens and closes is provided at the opening of the floor where the safe 11 is arranged. Further, the safe 11 is provided with a door 19 that opens on the upper side, and the lock of the door 19 is an electric lock 12 that is electrically locked and unlocked.
The electric lock 12 is locked / unlocked by a controller 14 provided in the same safe 11. That is,
The controller 14 unlocks the electric lock 12 only when the personal identification number input by the remote control unit 13 matches a predetermined number for the safe 11.

The remote control unit 13 is provided at a place slightly away from the safe 11, for example, on a wall 21 hidden behind a painting 20 behind the desk 16 in the office 15. In this way, the painting 20 has its upper end rotatably supported by the wall 21 by the support 22 and its lower end stopped by the locking portion 23. That is, by removing the lower end portion of the painting 20 from the locking portion 23 and rotating the painting 20 in the direction of the arrow A on the front side, the remote operation portion 13 is exposed and can be operated. Further, as another example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is provided in the drawer 24 of the desk 16 or in the key box 25 provided on the wall 21 on the rear side of the desk 16. The remote control unit 13 can input a personal identification number known only to the person in charge, and is, for example, a ten-key type or a card reader type. The remote control unit 13 and the controller 14 are electrically connected to each other by an electric wire 26 that passes through the rear surface of the wall 21 and does not extend to the front surface of the wall 21,
The personal identification number input by the remote control unit 13 is transmitted to the controller 14 via the electric wire 26.

According to the remote-controlled safe having the above-mentioned configuration, the personal identification number is input to the remote control unit 13 hidden by the painting 20 known only to the person in charge, and the personal identification number is judged by the controller 14 and predetermined. The controller 14 unlocks the electric lock 12 when it coincides with the number. And the floor plate 18
By opening the door and opening the door 19, money can be stored in the safe 11 or taken out of the safe 11. Safe 1
1 is an electric lock 1 which is arranged under the floor of the office 15 which is inconspicuous to a person and which is provided with a remote control unit 13 provided in a place hidden behind the wall 21 on the back side of the painting 20 by inputting a personal identification number.
Since the person who is responsible can not unlock 2, the person other than the person in charge cannot easily know the existence of the safe 11, and even if the existence of the safe 11 is known, the hidden remote control unit 13 can be known. Even if the remote control unit 13 is known, the electric lock 12 cannot be unlocked unless the personal identification numbers match. Moreover, since the electric wire 26 does not extend to the front side of the wall 21 in the office, it cannot be tampered with. Therefore, even if the person in charge is absent, money or the like in the safe 11 is not taken out without permission or the entire safe 11 is stolen at night, and only the person in charge can safely manage the safe 11.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the safe installed in the office of the gasoline filling station has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this and is applicable to a remote-operated safe installed in an arbitrary place. Further, the safe 11 may be installed in an inconspicuous place in an office or the like, and may be installed in a storage portion formed on a solid wall. Furthermore, the remote control unit 13
It need only be provided in a hidden place known only to the responsible person, and is not limited to the place of the embodiment. Remote control unit 13
May be one that inputs a personal identification number with a ten-key pad, or one that can read a card owned by an authorized person and input a predetermined personal identification number.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the safe is arranged in a location inconspicuous to a person, and the secret code that can be known only by the person in charge is entered by remote control. Since the controller unlocks the electric lock,
The existence of a safe is not known, and only the person in charge can manage it, ensuring the safety.
