The purpose is to provide a reception desk for cleaning, etc., which can increase the number of new customers and increase profits without putting a burden on the business side of the cleaning shop.

Hereinafter, the structure of this invention will be specifically clarified through drawings showing one embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates the locker body, which is mainly made of metal, but may also be made of plastic or wood if it has the required strength. A box 2 is formed in the rocker body 1, and a door 3 is hinged to the front opening of the box 2 with a hinge 4 so that it can be opened and closed freely, and a casing 5 formed on the inner surface of the door 3 A lock device 6 is housed. This locking device 6 has a well-known structure, and includes a dead bolt 7 and a key operation part 8 for making the dead bolt 7 appear and disappear. As the key operation unit 8 moves in the thickness direction of the door 3, the locking device 6 moves in the thickness direction of the door 3 within the casing 5.

On the other hand, an inlet/outlet 9 for inserting and removing the dead bolt 7 is provided on the side opposite to the hinged surface of the door 3, and a lock hole 10 for inserting the dead bolt 7 is formed in the locker body 1. Also,
A locking spring 12 is installed inside the casing 5, which urges the locking device 6 in the thickness direction of the door 3 to move the dead bolt 7 to a locking portion 11 formed around the recessed opening 9. ing. The locking device 6 is configured to lock the door 3 in the closed state by inserting the dead bolt 7 into the lock hole 10 of the locker body 1 through the recess/exit opening 9.

On the other hand, a generally L-shaped restraining plate 14 is fixed to the inner surface of the door 3 and to the side of the casing 5, and a roughly T-shaped slider 13 is further provided between this restraining plate 14 and the casing 5. It is provided so as to be able to slide along the inner surface of the door. The slider 13 includes a protruding surface 13a facing the stop plate 14, a release bar 13b extending from the protruding surface 13a toward the casing 5, and a sliding portion 13c sliding on the inner surface of the door 3.
It is composed of: On the other hand, the above-mentioned stop plate 14
An accommodating portion 14a for accommodating the sliding portion 13c of the slider 13 is formed between the inner surface of the door 3 and the accommodating portion 14a. Further, a stopper 13d is fixed to the inner surface of the door 3 so that the sliding portion 13c does not come off the housing portion 14a when the slider 13 moves toward the casing 5. Furthermore, a release spring 15 is provided between the slider 13 and the casing 5 for urging the slider 13 toward the stop plate 14 , and the elastic force of the release spring 15 causes the slider 13 to move toward the stop plate 14 , and an article 16 such as a writing instrument is held between the slider 13 and the stop plate 14, and the release bar 13b of the slider 13 fixes the locking device 6.
In this state (the state shown in FIG. 3), the door 3 can always be opened freely. Moreover, the article 16 such as the writing instrument is connected to the slider 13 and the stop plate 1.
4, the slider 13 is pressed against the stop plate 14 by the release spring 15, and the release bar 13b of the slider 13 releases the locking device 6, and the lock is released. The device 6 is locked to the locking part 11 by a locking spring 12 (FIG. 4). In this state, if the key operation part 8 is pushed toward the door 3 against the elastic force of the locking spring 12, the locking device 6 moves within the casing 5, and the dead bolt 7 is inserted into the locking hole from the opening 9. 10 and is designed to be locked (Fig. 5).

To unlock the locking device 6, a key (not shown) is prepared in advance, and this key is inserted into the key operation section 8, the dead bolt 7 is retracted and stored in the locking device 6, and the locking spring is released. The locking device 6 is locked to the locking portion 11 by the resilient force of the locking device 12 (FIG. 4).

In addition to the above-mentioned locking mechanism, a rectangular parallelepiped pocket 18 is formed on the inner surface of the door 3 to hold a slip 17. This slip 17 is made of two sheets of pressure-sensitive paper, and contains the user's address, name, There is a printed field where you can write your phone number and the name of the item you are keeping.

Further, a rectangular window 19 is formed in the door 3 at the position where the slider 13 slides, and in the state shown in FIG. appears in the window 19. On the other hand, in the state shown in FIG. 5, the words "in use" displayed at the tip of the sliding portion 13c of the slider 13 appear in the window 19.

To use the cleaning reception locker according to this invention, the word "open" should appear on the window 19 of the door 3 in the closed state (the state shown in Fig. 3).
When , open door 3. Then, take out the slip 17 placed in the pocket 18 on the inner surface of the door 3, remove the article 16 such as a writing instrument held between the slider 13 and the stop plate 14, write the necessary information, and indicate the need for cleaning. Put the clothes, etc. that you want to use in Box 2. When the article 16 such as a writing instrument is removed, the slider 13 is pressed against the stop plate 14 by the elastic force of the release spring 15, and
In order for the release rod 13b to move toward the stop plate 14,
The locking device 6 is released, and the locking device 6 is locked to the locking portion 11 by the elastic force of the locking spring 12, as shown in FIG.

After putting in clothes, etc., closing the door 3 and pressing the key operation part 8 in the thickness direction of the door 3, the locking device 6 moves inside the casing 5 against the elastic force of the locking spring 12, The dead bolt 7 pops out from the opening 9, fits into the lock hole 10 formed in the locker body 1, and is locked (FIG. 5). In this state, the words "in use" are displayed on the window 19 of the door 3.
This display allows the user to know that box 2 cannot be used.

On the other hand, at a dry cleaning shop, all you have to do is insert a pre-prepared key into the key operation section, unlock the door, and take out the clothes. In this case, the locking device 6 is
Since it is in the state shown in the figure, move the slider 13 in the direction of the casing 5, and move the slider 13 and the stop plate 14.
When an article 16 such as a writing instrument is held between the key operation section 8 and the key operating section 8 It becomes impossible to lock the door even if you press the button (the state shown in FIG. 1)), and the word "Open" is displayed on the door 3.

Please note that charges will be paid at the store when you pick up your cleaned clothes.
