Further, the door 3 may be frequently opened and closed due to the use of the safe. At this time, if the dial lock 7 is locked each time, it is necessary to release the lock each time, and the operability is extremely reduced. In such a case, the switching means 26 is turned on, and the signal from the bar detecting means 24 is invalidated. Thus, even when the door 3 is closed and the bar 11 is positioned at the lock position, the dial lock 7 is not locked, and the door 3 can be opened and closed only by operating the handle 6.

However, if it is desired to lock the door 3 when the door 3 is closed, the switching means 26 may be turned on and not locked. To prevent this, the cylinder lock 8 is locked with the door 3 closed, and the cylinder lock detection means 25 sends a signal to the control means 23, so that the linear motor 20 is activated and the dial lock 7 is also turned on. Locked.

Further, when the door 3 is closed with the switching means 26 turned on and the cylinder lock 8 is not locked, the locking time is set by the automatic lock device 27 to set the lock time. When the time comes, a signal is sent to the control means 23, the linear motor 20 is operated, and the dial lock 7 is locked.

As described above, by using the safe 1, the dial lock 7 is automatically locked by closing the door 3, so that forgetting to lock the lock can be prevented. Can be prevented. In addition, by operating the switching means 26, when the door 3 is frequently opened and closed, the automatic lock of the dial lock 7 can be released. Can also be prevented.

Also in this configuration, when the power supply to the electromagnet 32 is cut off, the dial 14 and the base 15 are in a non-contact state, so that the dial 14 can be manually turned lightly.

In the above embodiment and the modified example, the main body 2 and the door 3
The explanation was made using the single-door safe 1 mainly composed of
The present invention is not limited to this. For example, FIGS.
The present invention may be applied to a safe 35 shown in FIG. 13 or a safe 36 shown in FIGS.

The safe 35 is composed of a main body 37 constituted by filling both sides of each wall surface with an iron plate and filled with a refractory material made of a mixture of cement and water, and a door 38 and a child door 39 as an opening / closing body. It is mainly composed. Like the main body 2, legs 4, casters 5 and hakama 9 are provided below the main body 37, and a handle 6, a dial lock 7, and a cylinder lock 8 are provided on the outer surface of the door 38.

The door 38 is rotatably supported by the hinge 10 at the right edge thereof, and the child door 39 is rotatably supported by the hinge 10 at the left edge thereof. The opening of the main body 37 can be opened and closed. , Covers all four sides of the main body 37. Door 3
A bar (not shown) and a moving means (not shown) are provided inside 8, and a storage portion for storing the tip of the bar (not shown) is provided in the child door 39. The child door 39 is fixed to the main body 37 by a fixing member (not shown). The fixing member is configured so that the engaged state and the released state can be manually operated on the side surface or the inner surface of the child door 39, and the child door 39 is opened by releasing the fixing member. The fitting portion between the main body 37 and the door 38, the fitting portion between the main body 37 and the child door 39, and the fitting portion between the door 38 and the child door 39 are formed to have a smoke bending structure.

The safe 36 has a main body 40 which is formed by filling both sides of each wall surface with an iron plate and is filled with a refractory material made of a mixture of cement and water, a left door 41 and a right door 42 as opening and closing members. It is mainly composed of A leg 4, a caster 5, and a hakama 9 are provided at the lower part of the main body 40, similarly to the main body 2. A handle 43 is provided on the outer surface of the left door 41, and a handle 6 and a dial are provided on the outer surface of the right door 42. A lock 7 and a cylinder lock 8 are provided, respectively.

The left door 41 has its left edge and the right door 42 has its right edge rotatably supported by the hinge 10 with respect to the main body 40 so that the opening of the main body 40 can be opened and closed. Thus, all four sides of the main body 40 are covered. A bar (not shown) and a moving means (not shown) are provided inside the right door 42, and a storage portion for storing the tip of the bar (not shown) inside the left door 41, for fixing the left door 41 to the main body 40. And a moving means (not shown) connected to a handle 43 for moving the bar (not shown). The fitting part between the main body 40 and the left door 41, the fitting part between the main body 40 and the right door 42, and the fitting part between the left door 41 and the right door 42 are formed so as to have a smoke bending structure.

In the safe 36 shown in FIG. 13, the left door 41 and the right door 42 have the same width in appearance. In the case of such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the right door 42 is opened, a difference occurs between the width W1 on the left door side and the width W2 on the right door side inside the main body 40. When a shelf plate is provided inside the main body 40 and a shelf plate of the same width partitioned at the center is used, since the width W2 is smaller than the width W1, the opening of the right door 42 alone will result in the inner side of the right door 42. Disadvantageously, the shelf plate located at the position cannot be pulled out to the front. In order to solve this problem, the fitting portion is positioned at the position shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure so that the width on the left door side within the main body 40 is W3 and the width on the right door side is W4 (W3 = W4). It may be a double-door safe. In this case, since the width of the right door 42 is larger than the left door 41 in appearance, if the position of the cylinder lock 8 is arranged directly below the dial lock 7 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Is improved.

The fixing of each door in this specification means that each door is not opened with the opening of the main body closed.
The bar includes direct fixing in which each door and the body are engaged, and the bar includes indirect fixing in which one door and the main body (the other door is held down by one door) or each door is engaged.

The term "child door" in the present specification is not limited to the ratio of the size to the door, and may have a handle, a grip, a knob, a handle, a locking means, etc. on the outside front. However, it has a fixing member for fixing the child door itself to the main body by fitting or engaging with the main body, and this fixing member is interlocked with the above-mentioned handle, grip, knob, handle, locking means and the like. It is indispensable to have a configuration that does not.
The fixing member cannot be operated from the front side of the child door,
Operate on the side or back side of the child door with the door open. The fixing member includes a latch, a click, and a member for fixing the child door to the main body by detaching, screwing, screwing, or the like.

In addition, regardless of the size of the left and right doors, the handles and locking means provided on the outside and the operating portion of the fixing member are interlocked with each other. Means that can move means.

Due to this difference in construction, the child door does not have an operating mechanism for the fixing member inside (it is small even if it has one).
Since the front surface does not have a through hole from the outside to the inside (such as a hole for the handle shaft directly connected to the operation mechanism of the fixing member), the handle and the operation part of the fixing member are interlocked, and the fixing member from the front Although the operability is inferior to both doors capable of the operation of, the occupied volume of the operating mechanism of the fixing member is small,
There is an advantage that the fire resistance is improved by increasing the storage amount of the fire-resistant material, and the anti-theft property is improved by improving the sectional performance.

In the above-described embodiment and the modified examples, the single-door safe with a single door, the safe with a child door, and the double-door safe are shown as the storages. Safes with multiple doors, wall storages, secondary storages containing other safes inside the safes, archives for storage, storages buried in walls such as vaults and archives, and assemblable safes The present invention can also be applied to an assembling vault or the like.
