A camera (7) is supported by a pivoting arm (5), where the optical axis of the camera is directed based on the axis of the pivoting arm.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de sécurité,The present invention relates to a security device,

notamment pour distributeur de billets, ou analogues.  especially for cash dispensers, or the like.

Les distributeurs automatiques de billets, ou DAB, sont généralement 5 installés à l'extérieur des bâtiments ou en des lieux accessibles au public tels que les galerie marchandes.  ATMs, or ATMs, are generally installed outside buildings or in places accessible to the public such as shopping malls.

L'utilisation d'un DAB nécessite la possession d'une carte et la fourniture d'un code qui est transmis par l'intermédiaire d'un clavier à 10 touches. Ce code est connu seulement de la personne titulaire de la carte et est nécessaire pour effectuer l'opération. Vu de l'extérieur, un DAB se présente sous la forme d'une niche comportant une fente d'introduction de la carte, d'une fente de délivrance des billets et d'un clavier à touches repérées permettant d'introduire le code confidentiel.  The use of an ATM requires the possession of a card and the provision of a code which is transmitted via a 10-key keyboard. This code is known only to the person holding the card and is necessary to carry out the operation. Seen from the outside, an ATM is in the form of a niche comprising a slot for inserting the card, a slot for issuing tickets and a keypad with identified keys for entering the confidential code. .

L'expérience a montré que des personnes indélicates parvenaient, à distance, à repérer ce code et, ensuite, à l'utiliser frauduleusement pour se faire remettre des billets en utilisant une carte volée ou falsifiée.  Experience has shown that unscrupulous people manage, from a distance, to locate this code and then use it fraudulently to obtain tickets using a stolen or falsified card.

Le dispositif de l'invention, qui remédie à cet inconvénient, est remarquable en ce qu'il est constitué par un écran qui se déploie autour de l'utilisateur préalablement à l'introduction du code.  The device of the invention, which overcomes this drawback, is remarkable in that it consists of a screen which is deployed around the user prior to the introduction of the code.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le déploiement de l'écran est commandé 25 par l'introduction de la carte.  According to one embodiment, the deployment of the screen is controlled by the introduction of the card.

De cette façon, l'utilisateur qui doit taper son code sur le clavier se trouve protégé des regards indiscrets.  In this way, the user who must type his code on the keyboard is protected from prying eyes.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif, seulement, sur lequel: -la figure 1 montre un DAB comportant le dispositif de l'invention -la figure 2 est la vue de dessus de la figure 1; -la figure 3 est une vue partielle, à plus grande échelle, montrant un détail de réalisation.  Other characteristics of the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows made with reference to the attached drawing by way of indicative example only, in which: FIG. 1 shows a DAB comprising the device of the invention - Figure 2 is the top view of Figure 1; FIG. 3 is a partial view, on a larger scale, showing a detail of embodiment.

En se reportant au dessin, on voit que 1 est la paroi externe 10 comportant la niche 2 formant le DAB.  Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that 1 is the external wall 10 comprising the recess 2 forming the DAB.

Selon un mode de réalisation un rail 3, curviligne, est disposé au-dessus de la niche 2 et sert de support à écran constitué par un rideau 4 pouvant être déployé par l'utilisateur pour s'isoler des regards indiscrets. 15 Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le rail 3 est semi-circulaire et l'entraînement du rideau est réalisé par un bras 5, pivotant, mû par un moteur électrique. De la façon connue, le rideau est porté par une pluralité de chariots 6 guidés dans le rail 3 et l'extrémité libre du bras 5 est reliée au 20 premier chariot. De préférence, l'axe vertical de rotation du bras 5 est situé dans le plan médian de la niche 2.  According to one embodiment, a curvilinear rail 3 is disposed above the recess 2 and serves as a screen support constituted by a curtain 4 which can be deployed by the user to isolate themselves from prying eyes. According to another embodiment, the rail 3 is semi-circular and the curtain is driven by an arm 5, pivoting, driven by an electric motor. In known manner, the curtain is carried by a plurality of carriages 6 guided in the rail 3 and the free end of the arm 5 is connected to the first carriage. Preferably, the vertical axis of rotation of the arm 5 is located in the median plane of the recess 2.

L'introduction de la carte dans la fente du DAB génère un signal qui est utilisé pour faire pivoter le bras de façon à déployer le rideau autour de 25 l'utilisateur. Le retrait de la carte commande l'opération inverse. Ce type de commande du moteur du bras ne modifie pas la structure des DAB existants de façon substantielle et est une réalisation à la portée de l'homme de l'art.  The insertion of the card into the slot of the DAB generates a signal which is used to rotate the arm so as to deploy the curtain around the user. The withdrawal of the card orders the reverse operation. This type of arm motor control does not substantially modify the structure of existing ATMs and is an achievement within the reach of ordinary skill in the art.

L'expérience a montré que de nombreuse personnes oublient de retirer leur carte avec tous les inconvénients que cela présente pour elles. Le dispositif de l'invention permet de lutter contre ce comportement.  Experience has shown that many people forget to withdraw their cards with all the inconvenience this presents for them. The device of the invention makes it possible to combat this behavior.

Il est à noter que le signal de commande du bras peut être généré par un détecteur de présence d'un type connu.  It should be noted that the arm control signal can be generated by a presence detector of a known type.

Le dispositif de l'invention permet de mettre l'utilisateur à l'abri des regards indiscrets mais, en même temps, il l'isole complètement et ce dernier, 10 s'il est indélicat, peut tenter de se livrer à des manoeuvres répréhensibles.  The device of the invention makes it possible to protect the user from prying eyes but, at the same time, he completely isolates him and the latter, if he is indelicate, can try to engage in reprehensible maneuvers .

Selon l'invention qui remédie à cet inconvénient, le bras 5 est utilisé pour supporter une caméra 7 qui peut être déclenchée par le pivotement du bras et être maintenue en action durant le déploiement du rideau. L'axe 15 optique de la caméra est disposé, sensiblement, selon l'axe du bras 5.  According to the invention which overcomes this drawback, the arm 5 is used to support a camera 7 which can be triggered by the pivoting of the arm and be kept in action during the deployment of the curtain. The optical axis 15 of the camera is arranged, substantially, along the axis of the arm 5.

De cette façon, l'aspect physique de chaque utilisateur peut être enregistré ce qui constitue une information très précieuse lorsque l'organisme bancaire est informé que des retraits ont été effectués par des personnes 20 non autorisées. A cela s'ajoute le fait que la présence de la caméra a un effet très dissuasif sur les fraudeurs.  In this way, the physical appearance of each user can be recorded, which constitutes very valuable information when the banking institution is informed that withdrawals have been made by unauthorized persons. Added to this is the fact that the presence of the camera has a very dissuasive effect on fraudsters.

Des moyens sont utilisés pour arrêter le fonctionnement de la caméra à la fin du déploiement du rideau et des moyens peuvent être prévus pour 25 aviser l'utilisateur de cet arrêt afin qu'il puisse introduire son code en toute confidentialité.  Means are used to stop the operation of the camera at the end of the deployment of the curtain and means can be provided to notify the user of this stop so that he can enter his code confidentially.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le rail peut être constitué par un ensemble télescopique fixé par l'une de ses extrémités à la paroi et, par l'autre, au bras.  According to another embodiment, the rail can be constituted by a telescopic assembly fixed by one of its ends to the wall and, by the other, to the arm.

Dans le cas o il n'est pas possible d'utiliser un rail rigoureusement semi-circulaire, on peut concevoir de prévoir que le bras d'entraînement du rideau soit télescopique.  In the case where it is not possible to use a rigorously semi-circular rail, it is conceivable to provide that the curtain drive arm is telescopic.
