Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a safe deposit box installed in, for example, a bank.

[Background of the invention]

For example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-106695, there is a storage means for storing a storage case, a work area for loading and unloading articles into the storage case, and a space between the storage means and the work area. and a conveyance means for conveying the storage case, and the storage case itself carried out to a predetermined work area by the conveyance means was taken out from an outlet provided in the work area, and the storage case was taken out to the work area. 2. Description of the Related Art There is a safe deposit box device that is configured to allow articles to be taken in and taken out in a certain state. In such a safe deposit box device, the user must manually return the storage case that has been taken out onto the original transport means, so if the storage case is placed on the transport means in the wrong direction, the storage case may be damaged. It is not possible to safely and reliably transport the storage case to the means (storage shelf). For this reason, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-1956, a storage shelf of a storage case having an opening/closing lid on the upper side, a work area for loading and unloading articles into and from the storage case, and a space between the storage shelf and the work area. In the safe deposit box facility, the working area is provided with an enclosing wall that covers the storage case carried out by the carrying means, and the enclosing wall includes a means for carrying out the storage case to a predetermined position. A safe deposit box facility has been proposed in which an opening is provided for opening the lid of the storage case, and a door is provided in the opening. That is, in the work area, the storage case cannot be taken out from within the surrounding wall, thereby preventing the storage case from being placed on the conveyance means in the wrong direction. By the way, this proposal prevents the storage case from being taken out from inside the surrounding wall, so although it certainly prevents the storage case from being set in the wrong direction on the transport means, it does not allow the storage case to be taken out. Not having it can actually be a drawback. That is, if the storage case cannot be taken out from within the surrounding wall in the work area, there is a drawback that in the event of an emergency, it will not be possible to evacuate with the storage case in hand. In addition, many people say that the workability of storing articles in the storage case and the workability of taking out articles from the storage case are not good, and that the workability is not good.
