The inspection door 2 is provided on substantially the entire front lower portion of the automatic teller machine A, and one side is pivotally connected by a hinge or the like, and can be opened and closed by rotating to the front side. In the present embodiment, the inspection door 2 having a sufficiently large thickness is exemplified.

In the protection device B, a substantially L-shaped opening / closing door 9 is pivoted on a main body 8 which is formed by fixing a substantially U-shaped protection wall 7 on the upper surface of a bottom plate 6 and which is open forward and upward. It is pivotally attached to a hinge 10 so that it can be opened and closed, and a locking device 1 described later
1 is provided so as to be lockable on the main body 8. More specifically, the protective wall 7 includes side walls 7a on both sides,
7b and a rear wall 7c. The front end of one side wall 7a is positioned behind the front end of the other side wall 7b, and in a state where the door 9 is closed, the long side 9a of the door 9 is closed. Then, the front surface of the main body 8 is closed, and the short side portion 9b closes the side surface following the side wall 7a. The hinge 10 is fixedly provided between the outer edge of the front end of the side wall 7a and the outer edge of the rear end of the short side 9b of the door 9. When the opening / closing door 9 is closed, the back surface of the free play end of the long side portion 9a is joined to the front end surface of the side wall 7b.

Then, the automatic teller machine A is placed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 6 within the main body 8 of the protection device B, and the inspection door 2 thereof is arranged on the front opening side of the main body 8.

Next, the locking device 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. If it is a conventional flat door, the bar may protrude from both sides of the door and engage with both side walls of the main body. However, the opening and closing door 9 in the present invention is substantially L-shaped in plan view as described above. For this reason, a special device is required for the locking device 11. That is, with the door 9 closed and locked to the main body 8, the door 9 is prevented from coming off the main body 8 even if the hinge 10 exposed to the outside is broken. Opening and closing operations are required.

[0014] Therefore, in this embodiment a free end of the long side portion 9a of the door 9 side edge 9d Oite閂杆13, ... is sideways
Infested displaced to direction, the hook 14 at pivot side 9c of the short side portion 9b, ... adopts a basic configuration that is displaced vertically. More specifically, the bar rod 13 is laterally displaceable into a concave portion 15 formed on the back surface of the long end portion 9a on the free end side so that it can protrude and retract, and when the door 9 is closed, the side wall 7b of the main body 8 is The engaging bar 16 protruding from the front end is received in the recess 15, and the bar 13 protrudes into the engaging hole 17 formed in the side surface of the engaging bar 16.
Are engaged with each other. On the other hand, the hook 1
Reference numeral 4 denotes an upright engaging claw 18 which is always protruded from the end face of the short side portion 9b on the pivot side 9c, and is a vertically long engaging member formed at the front end of the side wall 7a of the main body 8 when the door 9 is closed. The lock hole 19 is inserted into the lock hole 19 and displaced upward during locking to engage with the upper edge of the lock hole 19. Even if the hinge 10 is broken in a state where the door 9 is closed and locked, the vertical and horizontal displacement and the rotational displacement of the door 9 with respect to the main body 8 are controlled by the door 9 and the side walls 7a, 7b. Is assumed to be regulated by the mating relationship.

And the hooks 14,
Are linked by one handle 12 is shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. That is, the long side portion 9a of the door 9
The upper end of an interlocking rod 22 guided slidably in the up and down direction is pivotally mounted on an intermediate arm 21a of a substantially T-shaped rotating body 21 fixed to a rotating shaft 20 of the handle 12 The upper arm 21b and the upper arm 23a of a substantially L-shaped driven rotating body 23 rotatably attached to a position near the short side 9b are pivotally connected to ends of a transmission rod 24 arranged in a lateral direction. And the driven rotator 2
The upper end of an interlocking rod 25 guided to be slidable in the vertical direction at a position near the short side 9b is pivotally attached to the third horizontal arm 23b. Thereby, when the rotating body 21 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 7, one of the interlocking rods 22 rises,
The other interlocking rod 22 performs a lowering operation. In the present embodiment, three bar rods 13,... Are vertically spaced and supported so as to be slidable in the horizontal direction. The upper bar rod 13 is connected to the rotating body 21 via a locking plate 26. Lower arm 2
1c, and the middle and lower bar rods 13, 13 are rotatably mounted on a substantially L-shaped driven rotary body 27, 2 respectively.
7, each of the driven rotating bodies 2
The 7 horizontal arm 27b is pivotally attached to the interlocking rod 22. Therefore, when the interlocking rod 22 rises, each of the bar rods 13,... Enters into the concave portion 15, and when it descends, it protrudes in the opposite direction.

Further, to the other interlocking rod 25, two operation plates 28, 28 having a substantially L-shape in plan view are fixed at an interval vertically, and one piece of the operation plate 28 is a long side portion 9a. The other piece extends rearward along the short side 9b, and its tip projects from the rear end surface of the short side 9b to form the hook 14. Therefore, when the rotating body 21 rotates clockwise, the hooks 14, 14 are lowered integrally with the interlocking rod 25, and rise when the rotating body 21 rotates counterclockwise. The horizontal arm 23 of the driven rotating body 23
If the direction of b is reversed, the hook 14 can be set to descend at the same time as the bar 13 projects.

A lock hole 31 of a lock 29 is made to face the front surface of the opening and closing door 9, and a locking rod 31 which appears and disappears by operating the lock 29 is provided in relation to the locking plate 26.
When the uppermost bar 13 is in the protruding locked state, the locking rod 31 abuts on the restricting piece 32 formed on the locking plate 26 to restrict the bar 13 from entering and maintain the locked state. is there.

As described above, according to the present invention, the opening / closing door 9 is substantially L-shaped in plan view, the front side opening of the main body 8 is closed at the long side 9a, and the front side of the retracted side wall 7a at the short side 9b. The side opening of the door is closed.
Since the hinge 10 pivotally pivotally openable and closable is located sufficiently behind the front surface of the opening and closing door 9, it is difficult to perform a destructive operation targeting the hinge 10. For example, when there is a wall surface of a building on the side of the protection device B of the present invention, the interval between the wall surface and the side wall 7a is set so as not to hinder the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing door 9. , The short side 9 of the door 9
This makes it difficult to break into the hinge 10 by intruding into the side of the protection device B from between b and the wall surface of the building.
