Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet handling apparatus and a paper sheet storage, for example, an automatic teller machine (ATM) that performs transactions of depositing and withdrawing banknotes, and detachable from the automatic teller machine It is suitable for application to a bill storage.

  In a conventional automatic teller machine, a bill storage for storing and feeding out bills is detachably mounted. In this case, the door is detachably attached to the banknote storage so that the banknote can be loaded inside by a clerk at a specific banknote loading place after being removed from the automatic teller machine.

  In addition, the banknote storage has a door closed to protect the internal banknotes when attaching to and detaching from the automatic teller machine or when transporting between the automatic teller machine and the bill loading location. A locking lock is also attached.

  However, with regard to the banknote storage, the door locked by the lock is illegally opened as long as there is an opportunity to be touched by a person with the banknote loaded inside during such attachment / detachment or transportation. It cannot be said that there is no possibility.

  Therefore, heretofore, as this type of banknote storage, there is one configured as shown in FIGS. 48 and 49 so that it can be confirmed whether or not there is a possibility that the door has been opened illegally.

  As shown in FIG.48 and FIG.49, the banknote storage which concerns has the locking part 300 which regulates opening and closing of the door which is not shown in figure attached to the front plate of the said banknote storage.

  The locking part 300 has a base 301, and a lock 302 for locking the door in a closed state is attached to the base 301, and a cover 303 is concealed and exposed so as to conceal and expose the key hole 302A of the lock 302. It is attached so that it can be opened and closed.

  A lock plate 304 for locking the cover 303 is rotatably provided in the base 301. When the cover 303 is closed with respect to the base 301, the locking unit 300 rotates the lock plate 304 by urging a spring (not shown) to lock the cover 303 in the closed state.

  Further, the base 301 is provided with a base long hole facing the one end 304A of the lock plate 304, and the cover 303 is opposed to the base long hole when closed to the base 301. An elongated keyhole 303A is formed.

  When the cover 300 is locked and the cover 303 is locked, the lock 300 moves along the key hole 303A from the key hole 303A to the base long hole and is pressed against the one end 304A of the plate. The cover 304 is unlocked by rotating the plate 304.

  As a result, the locking unit 300 opens the cover 303 with respect to the base 301 to expose the key hole 302A of the lock 302. Thus, when a door opening / closing key (not shown) is inserted into the key hole 302A of the lock 302 and rotated, Can be unlocked and opened.

  By the way, the locking unit 300 can dispose the identification paper 306 so as to close the base long hole with respect to the base 301, and when the cover 303 is closed with respect to the base 301, the identification paper 306 is removed from the base long hole and the keyhole. It is interposed between 303A.

  Therefore, when the unlocking key 305 is inserted into the keyhole 303A in a state where the cover 303 is locked, the locking unit 300 damages the identification paper 306 by the unlocking key 305 so as to make a hole. .

  Accordingly, the locking unit 300 may damage the identification paper 306 even when a wire other than the unlocking key 305 is inserted into the keyhole 303A in order to unlock the cover 303 in an attempt to open the door illegally. it can.

  In this manner, in the bill storage, whether or not there is a possibility that the door may have been opened illegally is determined depending on whether or not the identification paper 306 in the locking unit 300 is damaged other than loading of bills by an attendant. (For example, refer patent document 1).

The banknotes are fed one by one to the discrimination section 17 sequentially through the lower transport path 27A and the front transport path 25A, and the discrimination section 17 discriminates the denomination and state of the banknotes.

  As a result, the control unit 10 conveys the banknotes that have been distinguished from the discrimination unit 17 and drawn out to the banknote insertion / extraction unit 5 via the rear conveyance path 26A.

  However, at this time, the control unit 10 regards the banknotes that have been identified as being abnormal from the discrimination unit 17 and are fed out as reject banknotes via the rear transport path 26 </ b> A and the lower transport path 27 </ b> A sequentially as the auxiliary storage 24. And stored in the reject box 24A so that it is not used for the subsequent withdrawal process.

  And the control part 10 will complete the conveyance of the banknote of the money amount designated for withdrawal to the banknote insertion / withdrawal section 5 from the banknote insertion / withdrawal section 5 to the customer. The banknotes are taken out and handed over.

  Incidentally, at this time, if there is a banknote that has been forgotten to be removed by the customer in the banknote insertion / removal section 5, the control section 10 takes out the banknote one by one from the banknote insertion / removal section 5 as a forgotten banknote 25A. After being conveyed to the discriminating unit 17 through the discriminator and further discriminating the denomination and state, the forgotten box 24B is further transported to the auxiliary storage 24 via the rear transport path 26A and the lower transport path 27A sequentially. Store in.

  In this way, the control unit 10 can execute the banknote withdrawal process in the banknote processing unit 11 to withdraw the banknote as a transaction desired by the customer.

  In addition, during the banknote replenishment process, the control unit 10 feeds banknotes one by one from the replenishment collection box 24C of the auxiliary storage 24, and sequentially transports the banknotes to the discrimination section 17 via the lower transport path 27A and the rear transport path 26A. The discriminating unit 17 discriminates the denomination and state of the banknote.

  As a result, the banknote storage corresponding to the denomination of the banknotes that are identified as normal from the discrimination unit 17 and fed out through the front conveyance path 25A and the lower conveyance path 27A. Transport to 20 to 23 and store.

  However, at this time, the control unit 10 regards the banknotes that have been identified as being abnormal from the discrimination unit 17 and fed out to the auxiliary storage 24 via the front transport path 25A and the lower transport path 27A as reject banknotes. It is conveyed so as to be returned and stored in the reject box 24A.

  Thus, the control part 10 can perform the banknote replenishment process in the banknote processing unit 11, and can replenish the several banknote storages 20 thru | or 23 with the banknote used for a payment process.

  Furthermore, at the time of the collection process of banknotes, the control unit 10 delivers banknotes one by one from the banknote storages 20 to 23 and sequentially transports them to the discrimination unit 17 via the lower transport path 27A and the front transport path 25A. In 17, the denomination and state of the banknote are discriminated.

  As a result, the control unit 10 replenishes banknotes that have been identified as being normal from the discrimination unit 17 and fed out to the auxiliary storage 24 via the rear conveyance path 26A and the lower conveyance path 27A sequentially. It is stored in the collection box 24C.

  However, at this time, the control unit 10 regards the banknotes that have been identified as being abnormal from the discrimination unit 17 and are fed out as reject banknotes via the rear transport path 26 </ b> A and the lower transport path 27 </ b> A sequentially as the auxiliary storage 24.

  In the banknote storage 20, an upper surface (hereinafter also referred to as a case upper surface) 40B of the exterior case 40 is formed with a slit-shaped banknote take-out port 40BX parallel to the left direction of the storage, on the rear side.

  Further, a substantially U-shaped groove portion is formed at the center portion of the case upper surface 40B of the outer case 40, and a substantially U-shaped handle 41 that can be used when attaching or detaching or transporting the banknote storage 20 in the groove portion. Is attached to be retractable and retractable.

  Furthermore, a substantially rectangular opening 40AX for loading bills into the interior (and taking out bills from the inside) is formed in the case front 40A of the exterior case 40 at the center.

  Furthermore, a door 42 formed of a substantially rectangular metal plate via, for example, a pair of hinges (not shown) provided at the right end on the case front surface 40A of the exterior case 40 has an outer surface 42A that is connected to the case front surface 40A. The opening 40AX is closed so as to be flush with each other, and is attached so as to be openable and closable (that is, in this case, opened to the right) so as to open the opening 40AX.

  In the door 42, a lock 43 such as a cylinder lock corresponding to a key (not shown) such as a dimple key is exposed at the central portion of the left end, and one end surface in which a keyhole is formed is exposed from the outer surface 42A of the door 42. The other end portion is attached so as to protrude from the inner surface 42B of the door 42.

  In the following description, the outer surface 42A of the door 42 is also referred to as a door outer surface 42A, and the inner surface 42B of the door 42 is also referred to as a door inner surface 42B.

  A lock lever 44 made of an elongated metal plate is attached to the other end of the lock 43 in parallel with the door inner surface 42B.

  As a result, when the lock 43 is rotated in one rotation direction around the central axis of the lock 43 when the key is inserted into the keyhole and in the other rotation direction opposite to this, the lock 43 is interlocked with the rotation operation. The lock lever 44 is rotated in one rotation direction and the other rotation direction while being parallel to the door inner surface 42B.

  Furthermore, the exterior case 40 is attached to the back side of the left end portion of the case front surface 40A with a lock plate 45 made of a metal plate with a part protruding into the opening 40AX.

  In the following description, a part of the lock plate 45 that protrudes into the opening 40AX is also referred to as a plate protrusion.

  Moreover, in the following description, the part of the plate protrusion on one side of the lock plate 45 facing the front of the storage is also referred to as the front of the plate protrusion, and the plate on the other side of the lock plate 45 facing the rear of the storage. The portion of the protrusion is also referred to as a plate protrusion rear surface.

  Thereby, when the door 42 is closed with respect to the exterior case 40, the banknote storage 20 is configured such that, for example, the left end central portion of the door inner surface 42B of the door 42 (that is, the left portion of the other end portion of the lock 43) is The door outer surface 42A is flush with the case front surface 40A by pressing against the front surface of the plate protrusion of the lock plate 45.

  In this state, the banknote storage 20 is inserted into the keyhole of the lock 43 and rotated, for example, in the other rotation direction, thereby rotating the lock lever 44 in the other rotation direction to Is brought close to the rear surface of the plate protrusion of the lock plate 45.

  That is, the banknote storage 20 is configured such that when the key inserted into the keyhole of the lock 43 is rotated in, for example, another rotation direction, the plate protrusion of the lock plate 45 is moved to the front end of the door 42 and the lock lever 44. Insert between the parts.

  When the key is removed from the key hole of the lock 43 while the plate protrusion of the lock plate 45 is sandwiched between the door 42 and the tip of the lock lever 44 in this manner, The door 42 can be locked (i.e., prevented from opening) in a closed state (i.e., the opening 40AX is completely sealed).

  Further, the bill storage case 20 rotates the lock lever 44 in one rotation direction when the key is inserted into the keyhole of the lock 43 with the door 42 locked to the outer case 40 and is rotated in one rotation direction, for example. Thus, the tip of the lock lever 44 is retracted to the right from the position facing the rear surface of the plate protrusion of the lock plate 45.

  Thereby, the banknote storage 20 can unlock | release the door 42 with respect to the exterior case 40, can open the door 42 with respect to the said exterior case 40, and can open | release opening part 40AX, Thus, several banknotes are stored inside. It can be loaded and banknotes can be removed from the inside.

  In addition to such a configuration, the banknote storage 20 shows that the door 42 is closed with respect to the outer case 40 and seals the outer case 40 so as to lock the door 42 in a closed state, for example, A sealing tool mounting portion 46 for attaching a sealing tool made of a binding band to indicate that the door 42 is closed with respect to the outer case 40 and to lock the door 42 to the outer case 40 in a closed state. Is provided.

  In this case, the sealing tool mounting part 46 has a substantially strip-shaped door-side mounting plate 42 </ b> C provided on the door 42. The door-side mounting plate 42 </ b> C protrudes from the center of the left side surface of the door 42 in the direction facing the left side surface (for example, the left side of the storage case) and is formed integrally with the door 42.

  The sealing tool mounting portion 46 also has a case-side mounting plate 47 made of a substantially strip-shaped metal plate provided in the outer case 40.

  Further, the outer case 40 is provided with a groove portion (hereinafter also referred to as a case groove portion) 40AY corresponding to the door side attachment plate 42C, as a sealing member attachment portion 46, at the center of the left end of the case front surface 40A.

  The case side mounting plate 47 has a base portion joined to the bottom of the case groove portion 40AY, and a tip portion protrudes leftward of the storage case from the left side surface (hereinafter also referred to as the case left side surface) 40C of the exterior case 40. ing.

  Here, in the outer case 40, the depth from the case front surface 40A to one surface of the case side mounting plate 47 in the case groove portion 40AY (that is, the surface facing the front direction of the storage case) is the thickness of the door side mounting plate 42C. It is selected to be equal or slightly deeper than its thickness.

  Thereby, when the door 42 is closed with respect to the exterior case 40, the door-side mounting plate 42C enters the case groove 40AY, and the inner surface (that is, the door-side mounting plate 42C portion of the door inner surface 42B) is used as the case-side mounting plate. 47 is brought into contact with or close to one surface.

  That is, when the door 42 is closed with respect to the exterior case 40, the door-side mounting plate 42C enters the case groove 40AY so that the door outer surface 42A is flush with the case front surface 40A and the door 42 by the lock 43 described above. So as not to disturb the lock.

  The door-side mounting plate 42C is selected so that the front end protrudes a predetermined length from the case left side 40C to the left side of the storage case, and the band insertion hole 42CX is formed at the front end. It has been drilled.

  Further, the length of the case side mounting plate 47 is selected to be substantially equal to the length of the door side mounting plate 42C. The case-side mounting plate 47 has a band insertion hole 47A at the tip protruding from the case left side 40C in the left direction of the storage case, and the band of the door-side mounting plate 42C when the door 42 is closed with respect to the exterior case 40. It is drilled so as to face the insertion hole 42CX.

  As a result, when the door 42 is closed with respect to the exterior case 40, the sealing tool mounting portion 46 brings the case side mounting plate 47 and the door side mounting plate 42C into contact with or close to each other so that the case side mounting plate 47 The band insertion hole 47A and the band insertion hole 42CX of the door-side mounting plate 42C are brought into contact with each other as if they were one hole, or are brought close to each other.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the sealing device 50 includes, for example, a substantially rectangular tube-shaped head portion 50B at one end of a band portion 50A having a predetermined length, and the one end serving as a head portion. The band portion 50A and the head portion 50B are integrally formed of a predetermined resin material.

  In the following description, the side where the band part 50A is provided so as to join one end of the head part 50B of the sealing tool 50 is also referred to as a band joining side.

  Further, the band portion 50A of the sealing tool 50 has a plurality of notches such as saw teeth at a predetermined pitch along the longitudinal direction of the band portion 50A on the back surface 50AX.

  Further, the head portion 50B of the sealing device 50 is provided with a substantially strip-shaped claw forming plate 50BX in the hole so that the root portion is bonded to the band bonding side of one opening of the hole. The claw formed at the tip of 50BX is directed to the side opposite to the band bonding side in the vicinity of the other opening of the hole.

  When the band portion 50A is bent in an annular shape with the back surface 50AX inward and inserted into the hole of the head portion 50B from one opening side, the sealing device 50 has a notch formed on the back surface 50AX of the band portion 50A. Engage with 50BX claw.

  At this time, when the band part 50A inserted into the hole of the head part 50B is pushed in the insertion direction, the sealing tool 50 pushes the tip part of the claw forming plate 50BX toward the band joining side by the band part 50A. To increase the distance between the inner wall of the hole and the claw forming plate 50BX.

  Accordingly, the sealing tool 50 can insert the band portion 50A into the hole of the head portion 50B by a desired length.

  However, when the band part 50A inserted into the hole of the head part 50B is pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, the notch of the band part 50A is caught on the nail of the nail forming plate 50BX, and the nail forming plate 50BX The tip of the forming plate 50BX is displaced to the side opposite to the band bonding side to narrow the gap between the inner wall of the hole and the claw forming plate 50BX.

  As a result, the sealing tool 50 firmly holds the band part 50A between the inner wall of the hole and the claw forming plate 50BX while hooking the claw of the claw forming plate 50BX in the notch of the band part 50A, and from the hole of the head part 50B. The band portion 50A is not pulled out.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the banknote storage 20 is configured such that the band part 50 </ b> A of the sealing device 50 is attached to the band insertion hole part 47 </ b> A of the case side attachment plate 47 and the door side attachment with the door 42 closed with respect to the outer case 40. After sequentially passing through the band insertion hole 42CX of the plate 42C, it is inserted into the hole of the head 50B.

  Thereby, the banknote storage 20 is configured to bind the door side mounting plate 42C to the case side mounting plate 47 via the band insertion hole portions 47A and 42CX by the sealing device 50 in the sealing tool mounting portion 46. A sealing tool 50 is attached to 46.

  In this way, the banknote storage 20 causes the sealing tool mounting portion 46 to attach the sealing tool 50 in a state that is visible from the periphery of the outer case 40 in a state where the door 42 is closed with respect to the outer case 40. The door 42 can be sealed with respect to the exterior case 40 by the sealing tool 50.

  By the way, when the sealing device 50 is inserted into the hole of the head portion 50B, the band portion 50A can be pulled even if a person pulls the band portion 50A directly or indirectly using some tool. In this way, the band portion 50A cannot be pulled out from the hole of the head portion 50B with the degree of force applied.

  For this reason, in the banknote storage 20, when the sealing tool 50 is attached to the sealing tool attaching part 46, the sealing part 50 is thereafter used to form the band part 50A using any of tools having a cutting function such as nippers and pliers. If it is not intentionally broken by cutting it, it cannot be removed from the sealing tool mounting portion 46.

  In the following description, a tool having a cutting function such as a nipper or a plier that can cut the band portion 50A of the sealing tool 50 is also referred to as a cutting tool.

  Accordingly, when the door 42 is opened for loading banknotes at the banknote loading place, the banknote storage 20 uses the cutting tool 50 attached to the sealing tool mounting part 46 to the clerk and the band part 50A using a cutting tool. It is made to remove from the sealing tool attachment part 46 so that it may be damaged (cut | disconnected).

  Moreover, the banknote storage 20 makes an attendant unlock the door 42 with respect to the exterior case 40 by the rotation operation of the key inserted in the keyhole of the lock 43, and opens the door 42, and the inside of the exterior case 40 Load multiple bills.

  In addition, the banknote storage 20 causes an attendant to close the door 42 and lock the exterior case 40 in a closed state by rotating the key inserted into the keyhole of the lock 43, and a sealing tool mounting portion. The sealing tool 50 is attached to 46, and the door 42 is sealed with respect to the exterior case 40 by the sealing tool 50.

  In this manner, the banknote storage 20 causes the clerk to break the sealing device 50 in order to open the door 42 every time a banknote is loaded at the banknote loading place. 50 is attached.

  And since the sealing tool 50 is visible from the circumference | surroundings of the exterior case 40, while being attached to the sealing tool attachment part 46 of the banknote storage 20, the door 42 is closed with respect to the said exterior case 40. Can be recognizable at a glance.

  Therefore, in the banknote storage 20, the door 42 is opened to the exterior case 40 by the staff if the sealing device 50 is not damaged before the staff is properly damaged when the banknote is loaded at the banknote loading place. It can be judged that it is not.

  In addition, the banknote storage 20 has an improper door 42 to the exterior case 40 if the sealing tool 50 is already damaged before the official is damaged when the banknote is loaded at the banknote loading place. Can be determined to have been opened.

  In this way, the banknote storage 20 has the door 42 improper for the clerk depending on whether or not the clerk has already been damaged before properly damaging the sealing device 50 when loading the banknote at the banknote loading place. It can be easily confirmed whether or not there is a possibility of being opened.

  By the way, if the sealing tool 50 is attached to the sealing tool mounting part 46 as described above, it cannot be removed from the sealing tool mounting part 46 unless it is damaged using a cutting tool.

  Therefore, when the sealing device 50 is attached to the sealing device mounting portion 46 with the door 42 closed with respect to the exterior case 40, the sealing device 50 can be locked with the door 42 closed with respect to the exterior case 40.

  In other words, the banknote storage 20 has several cutting tools that can cut the band portion 50A of the sealing device 50 among a plurality of types of tools that are commonly used. Although the door 42 is locked by 43, and the door 42 can be locked also by the sealing device 50, the door 42 can be locked.

  However, the banknote storage 20 has a metal reinforcing plate on the door inner surface 42B of the door 42 and an end portion on the side where the entire door inner surface 42B and the lock 43 are provided (in this case, the left end portion of the door inner surface 42B). And the like, and at least the portion where the other end portion of the lock 43 is positioned and the movable range of the lock lever 44 are attached.

  The bill storage 20 is selected to have a thickness that does not allow the lock plate 45 to be easily deformed, and the lock plate 45 can be easily used by using a metal bolt having a relatively large diameter with respect to the outer case 40. Is firmly attached so that it will not fall off.

  That is, the banknote storage 20 is formed relatively firmly in the vicinity of the lock lever 44 in the outer case 40 and the door 42 as in a general banknote storage.

  And the banknote storage 20 is provided with the sealing tool mounting portion 46 in the vicinity of the lock lever 44, that is, the portion formed relatively firmly in the outer case 40 and the door 42 as described above.

  Furthermore, the sealing tool 50 is formed so that the band portion 50A cannot be pulled out from the hole of the head portion 50B by a force applied by a person as described above.

  For this reason, although the banknote storage 20 says that the locking of the door 42 by the sealing tool 50 is simpler than the locking by the lock 43, if the sealing tool 50 is not cut | disconnected, the door 42 will be solidified by the sealing tool 50. You can keep on locking.

  For example, even if the banknote storage 20 is locked by the lock 43 and the door 42 is illegally released by picking or the like, if the sealing device 50 is not cut, a bar is placed in the gap between the outer case 40 and the door 42. Even if the door 42 is to be opened by inserting the tip or the like, the door 42 can be kept locked by the sealing tool 50.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in the case of this embodiment, the lower unit 14 stores, for example, the banknote storage 20 in the unit housing 32 with the door 42 facing backward (other banknote storage). Similarly, the storages 21 to 23 and the auxiliary storage 24 are mounted.

  Therefore, when the banknote storage 20 (the other banknote storages 21 to 23) is stored in the unit housing 32, the sealing device 50 attached to the sealing device mounting portion 46 and the sealing device 50 attached to the unit housing right side plate 32B side. Is located.

  Therefore, in the lower unit 14, in the unit housing 32, the height of the unit housing right side plate 32 </ b> B (height indicated by h in the drawing) is the height position of the sealing tool mounting portion 46 of the banknote storage 20 (that is, The height from the bottom surface of the outer case 40 to the sealing member mounting portion 46 is selected.

  Thus, when the banknote storage 20 (the other banknote storages 21 to 23) is stored in the unit housing 32, the lower unit 14 unites the sealing tool 50 attached thereto together with the sealing tool mounting portion 46. It is positioned above the upper end of the case right side plate 32B so as not to hinder the storage of the banknote storage 20 (other banknote storages 21 to 23).

  Next, the configuration of the auxiliary storage 24 will be described. In the following, the configuration of the auxiliary storage 24 is defined in the direction defined when the configuration of the banknote storage 20 is described with reference to FIGS. Description will be made by applying the forward direction and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the auxiliary storage 24 has an outer case 55 formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that is vertically long by a metal plate so as to have the same height as the outer case 40 of the banknote storage 20 described above. doing.

  In the auxiliary storage 24, the case upper surface 55A of the exterior case 55 is formed with a slit-shaped banknote take-in / out port 55AX as in the case of the banknote storage 20, and a substantially U-shaped groove is used. A substantially U-shaped handle 56 is attached so that it can be stored and pulled out.

  The case front surface 55B of the outer case 55 is formed with, for example, a substantially rectangular opening for taking out rejected banknotes individually from the inside corresponding to the portion corresponding to the reject box 24A at the lower end.

  A door 57 formed of a substantially rectangular metal plate is provided on the case front surface 55B of the outer case 55 via a pair of hinge portions (not shown) provided at the right end portion corresponding to the portion corresponding to the reject box 24A. However, the door outer surface 57A is flush with the case front surface 55B, the opening is closed, and the door can be opened and closed (in this case, opened to the right) so as to open.

  Further, the case front surface 55B of the exterior case 55 is formed with a substantially rectangular opening for individually taking out a forgetting banknote from the inside corresponding to a portion corresponding to the forgetting box 24B in the center, for example. Yes.

  A door formed of a substantially rectangular metal plate is provided on the case front surface 55B of the outer case 55 via a pair of hinges (not shown) provided at the right end corresponding to the portion corresponding to the forgetting box 24B. 58 is attached so that the door outer surface 58A is flush with the case front surface 55B, the opening is closed, and the opening can be opened and closed (in this case, opened to the right).

  Furthermore, for example, the case front 55B of the outer case 55 corresponds to a portion corresponding to the replenishment collection container 24C at the upper end portion, and is individually loaded with bills therein or for individually removing bills from the inside. A substantially rectangular opening is formed.

  A door formed of a substantially rectangular metal plate is provided on the case front surface 55B of the outer case 55 through a pair of hinge portions (not shown) provided at the right end portion corresponding to the portion corresponding to the replenishment collection container 24C. 59 is attached so that the door outer surface 59A is flush with the case front surface 55B, the opening is closed, and the opening can be opened and closed (in this case, opened to the right).

  Furthermore, each of the three doors 57 to 59 is provided with a lock 60 to 62 such as a cylinder lock corresponding to a key (not shown) such as a dimple key at one central portion on the left end. It is exposed from the door outer surfaces 57A to 59A, and the other end is projected from the door inner surface.
