2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional automatic machine of this type, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 0-40440, the height of an operation display unit can be adjusted for wheelchair users and standing users, and an automatic machine excellent in operation and visibility is provided. Therefore, a transaction medium input / output unit arranged on the front surface of the main body, an operation display unit arranged on the upper surface of the table for inputting a transaction, a transaction medium process and a transaction process corresponding to the transaction input operation. In an automatic machine having a mechanism section for performing transactions by inputting and inputting the transaction medium, table driving means for vertically moving a table having the operation display section, and an angle for changing the angle of the operation display section. There is one that is provided with a driving means.

[0003]

However, in the conventional automatic machine, although the vertical movement of the table and the angular rotation of the operation display portion can be performed in correspondence with the wheelchair user and the standing user, the wheelchair can be used. The ease of use of the transaction medium input / output unit for both users and standing users, for example, the visibility of the transaction medium input / output unit and the ease of inserting the transaction medium into the transaction medium input / output unit are considered. Absent. That is, in this conventional automatic machine, the transaction medium input / output section is simply formed on the front flat part of the main body located between the wheelchair users and the standing users so as to correspond to them. , It is not easy for standing users to visually recognize this low insertion and ejection port and insert the transaction medium into the insertion and ejection port.
There is a problem that it is not easy for a wheelchair user to insert the transaction medium into the insertion / ejection port located at a high and distant position.

Further, since the conventional automatic machine is provided with a table drive mechanism for moving the table up and down and a display angle drive mechanism for rotating the display unit so as to accommodate wheelchair users and standing users. In addition to becoming expensive,
There was a problem that the reliability of the drive mechanism had to be secured.

Further, the conventional automatic machine does not consider that the wheelchair user uses the table to pull the wheelchair to an appropriate position. That is, in the conventional automatic machine, it is considered that the wheelchair is pulled toward the automatic machine while pressing the upper surface or the side surface of the table with a hand, but there is a problem that the operation must be performed by an unstable operation.

Further, in the conventional automatic machine, the visibility of the function display section and the advertising function for both wheelchair users and standing users are not sufficiently taken into consideration. That is,
In the conventional automatic machine, since the function display section is installed vertically at a position that is far away from the transaction medium input / output section,
The wheelchair user has poor visibility when operating the automatic machine, and there is no disclosure of changing the display content of the function display unit.

Further, in a conventional automatic machine, a passbook opening for inserting and ejecting a passbook, a card opening for inserting and ejecting a card, and a bill opening for inserting and ejecting banknotes are vertically and horizontally adjacent to each other to form a substantially triangular vertex. It is provided at the position where the banknote and card openings are both for inserting and ejecting the bankbook and the card in the front-rear direction, whereas the banknote slot is for inserting and ejecting banknotes by putting a hand in the recess. However, since the handling method differs depending on the type of transaction medium, there is a problem that it is difficult for an unfamiliar user to understand how to handle the transaction medium.

Further, in the conventional automatic machine, since the passbook slot and the card slot for handling the transaction medium in the same direction are independently provided on the front elevation, the handling method of the transaction medium for an unfamiliar user. Was difficult to understand.

Further, in the conventional automatic machine, since the insertion / ejection port of the transaction medium input / output unit is simply provided on the front elevation, it is not easy to insert the transaction medium into the insertion / ejection port, and the transaction is not performed. There was a problem that it was not possible to confirm whether the medium was taken in from the insertion / ejection port. In the past, magnetic stripe cards were generally used, so it was necessary to pull in the card for recognition (it was necessary to slide the stripe all over the longitudinal direction with respect to the small lead part). In the future, it is not always necessary to pull in the entire medium such as an IC card for which it is not necessary to read the entire length of the card. There is a problem in that the card can always be seen by the user while giving the user a sense of security while allowing the card to be taken into the device during unauthorized use.

Further, in the conventional automatic machine, since a bill insertion / ejection port is formed behind the operation display section arranged on the table surface of the front surface of the main body, the user can operate the operation display section behind the operation display section. There is a problem that the banknote to be handled must be extended and the banknote to be handled can be easily seen from the surroundings.

A first object of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine having excellent usability of the transaction medium input / output unit for both wheelchair users and standing users.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive and highly reliable automatic machine which has excellent usability of the operation display section for both wheelchair users and standing users.

A third object of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine with excellent usability, which allows a wheelchair user to easily pull the wheelchair to the automatic machine.

A fourth object of the present invention is to make the height of the device appear small to the user by the advertising panel so as to reduce the feeling of pressure, and to provide an advertising effect to both wheelchair users and standing users. An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine which is excellent and can further improve the advertisement effect by changing the advertisement sheet at any time.

A fifth object of the present invention is to provide an adjacent passbook opening,
An object of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine which is easy to understand how to handle transaction media such as a card slot and a banknote slot and which is excellent in usability.

A sixth object of the present invention is to provide an automatic machine having excellent usability in which a passbook slot and a card slot having the same handling direction of transaction media can be visually recognized as a common one.
