Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transaction protection device and a transaction processing center module. The development of devices to protect the teller and the transaction itself has long been a concern, and one that has become increasingly important in recent years, and there are no means designed to provide adequate protection. It is generally held that most such protective devices, which take various forms, yield rich and easily convertible rewards for those who argue for the appropriation of valuables by physical force or the subterfuge of physical force. Possibly intended for use in banks and similar institutions. Therefore, for convenience, most of the discussion that appears herein will be with respect to this type of institution and equipment.

However, it is of course obvious that the invention has application in payroll offices, tax offices, ticket offices, or other institutions and tasks obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.

One of the most commonly used protection devices is a closed-circuit television system, in which a television camera is placed in the circuit of an area where transactions involving the delivery or protection of valuables take place. be done. The camera is designed to tape record illegal activities occurring in the trading area. These devices are typically cine-actuated by covering the lens of a television camera placed at a height sufficient to monitor an area while ensuring the formation of a sharp image of a thief or other miscreant. It was often done. It is known that if the camera is placed too high up, it will not be able to obtain a sharp enough image to see it. In any case, masks or other deception could easily defeat the purpose of verification. Other devices using motion picture cameras have also been utilized, but have proven unsuccessful for the same reasons, and in some cases due to lack of sufficient film. Furthermore, these devices only provide surveillance and do not serve to deter criminals or protect tellers, dealers, and store clerks from harm or intimidation.

Recently, people have increasingly relied on automatic devices installed in unprotected locations outside of buildings, for example in the belief that they will not be harmed or defrauded. However, this idea proved to be incorrect, and these devices were beaten and damaged, resulting in excessive equipment replacement costs.

In addition, this type of device is operated by automated payment acceptance machines under the authority of the Federal Banking Administration and is therefore subject to Regulation P.
6) is required to meet the strict Sakaki Sei moxibustion requirements. Also,
Once installed, it could not be easily removed or reinstalled in advance.

Additionally, single or multiple electronic data processing devices used separately or in conjunction with manual or automated transaction devices typically require a closed controlled environment to function. This environment has typically traditionally placed all of an organization's data processing equipment, with the exception of remotely located terminal equipment, in a single large room where all conditions are maintained virtually uniform. Provided by: This is expensive to accomplish, the equipment is often inconveniently located, and one does so out of necessity rather than out of useful utilization. If there is a power failure or if there is no auxiliary power source,
Requiring a shutdown of all electronic data processing equipment in the organization. Also, under modern sales cases involving banks, it would cause the closure of the entire enterprise and all other enterprises dependent on it.

This vulnerabilities exist with respect to sensitive administrative equipment as well, and would normally disconnect and disable the protective devices used to protect the electronic data processing equipment itself from harm.

Turning, on the other hand, to a consideration of the transaction protection aspect of the invention, a device intended for the security of bank tellers or other persons similarly engaged in dealing with the general public and other valuables may be Of course, it has been developed up to now.

US Pat. box) is directed towards the teller shielding booth. The bins thus provide a vehicle for valuables to be transported between customers and tellers. Such devices, designed to limit teller exposure while allowing communication between tellers and customers, are unsatisfactory in preventing robbery, thief escape, or harm to guards or other bank personnel. Many things happened. This is because the trading area is open to the general public and thieves are free to escape, at least with the protection devices mentioned above.

US Pat. No. 2.70, Mt. 94, No. 44 describes a protective device that includes an underwear screen. The undergarment screen can be activated to flip up and prevent transactional interfaces between the teller and suspicious customers or the general public. Use of this device requires timing and readiness for the teller to encounter harm, and otherwise requires
No. 42,46 [11,917].

U.S. Pat. No. 3,53S'409 provides additional protection for bank protection devices. In this device, the teller station can be locked and moved from the control of the protective equipment in the bank, and even in case of intimidation, the teller can, for example, lock the teller's enclosure, drawers, control room, etc. It cannot be canceled. A significant difficulty with this device is that it must not be activated, and this is usually only done in the case of the commission of overt hostilities, and if the hostilities are sufficiently rapid, i.e. A quick response may completely prevent device activation.

Therefore, if the dealer-1 teller or similarly designated person is protected from harm or intimidation, or if the bank machine or other transaction device employed to replace said person is part of the booth or enclosure. Weir across the contact only if the customer or other person on the other side of the bullet-proof transaction contact formed in the area cannot be harmed by attack, and the customer is deterred from leaving the enclosure. A trading body or booth is devised in which the transaction is permitted to take place.
This would be a significant technological advance.

Means is provided for enabling access between automated transaction processing equipment contained within a transaction enclosure as described above and a protection module disposed within the enclosure, and wherein services and customer transactions are also selectively linked to a single area. An equally important advance would be to make it accessible from the Internet. Thus, the module may be, for example, 12CF 216
shall comply with the requirements of the Federal Banking Administration, as set forth in the Federal Banking Administration, and shall be suitable for easy removal and reinstallation.

In addition, the device can be configured to enable the containment of one or more units of electronic data processing equipment under the precise ambient conditions required for maintenance, and for these latter purposes. Therefore, if adopted independently of cooperation with transaction protection devices, a considerable advance in the related technology would be guaranteed.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide bullet-projectile protection so that transactions with tellers, bank clerks or other automatic transaction machines or storage objects occur only when the customer is prevented from leaving the booth. The purpose is to provide transaction protection equipment, including booths.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a means for the booth or envelope to be closed so that when the door of the booth is opened, the transaction contacts of the Ash booth can be closed and when the doors are closed, the contacts can be opened. By providing control means associated with and integrated with one body.

Another object of the invention is to provide means suitable for blocking and disabling the operation of said integrated control means.

Another object of the invention is to provide a housing for said automatic transaction device in cooperative relationship with said booth, in which all parts of the device are selectively accessible from a single area.

Still another object of the present invention is to maintain or control the environment around the device, such as temperature and humidity;
and to do so in such a way that it requires minimal space requirements and combines this feature with easy housing and device assembly, disassembly and mobility.

These two and other objects of the invention are such that, in the practice of the invention, at least one wall thereof or one part thereof consists of a structure and a proboscis allowing voluntary entry and forcible detention of those entering therein. a booth whose portion and preferably the entire interior wall is substantially impact resistant to bullets or other projectiles, an entrance and transaction contact formed in the wall of said booth, at least a door to the Mil entry; This is achieved by providing a closing means, a housing for the closing means and control means for unfastening, and means for disabling the door securing and unfastening means. In a preferred embodiment 1c of the invention, a KRF device, such as an electronic data processing device, a transaction processing device or other device, may be used in conjunction with said booth and within said booth or actually independent of the booth. At least one secondary enclosure or module adapted to contain the device is arranged, the enclosure comprising one or more rotating plates on which the device is arranged, a fixed wall, access to the interior of the enclosure. and one or more second closing means rotatable in rotations v of said one or more rotating plates and alignable with said access means. The aforementioned housing and one or more rotary plates defining said module provide for the maintenance of a controlled environment for the individual data processing devices not only with regard to temperature and humidity, but also with fire detection and control means incorporated. It can be configured to enable In other embodiments of the invention, the housing and rotary plate are separated from the first or external booth for purposes of containing valuables, including, for example, data processing equipment, or specialized equipment, and transit, livestock, securities, etc. and can be adopted independently.

Also in accordance with the invention, independently as a means of accessing said module or said booth or as a means of controlling physical communication and movement in a passageway,
Entry means are provided. It comprises at least two vertically arranged delay shields which are arcuate in horizontal section and movable about a common axis for entrance and exit, at least one of the shields being arranged along the passageway through which the entrance is sought. Before communication is allowed to the section, the entrance is made to block communication with the passage section being sought.

The foregoing objects, features, and advantages of the present invention, as well as other objects, features, and advantages, will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description of preferred embodiments, which may be made with reference to the drawings. Probably.

Referring to Figures 1 to 4 of the drawings, booth 1o is constructed of a material and structure capable of retaining a person, and additionally has a plurality of panels, preferably transparent and having properties to withstand impacts including bullets and projectiles. It is shown as. However,
One panel 121L has been modified to include transaction contacts 13. Panels 12 (and 12a) are mounted within a rigid vertical support member 14 that is at least equally impact or bullet resistant. Therefore, the support member 1
4 are mounted around the ceiling and optionally the base or floor 18 of the booth 16. Of course, it is also possible to employ a single panel 12 to provide a booth wall or housing.

The entrance 20 of the booth 10 is partially closed in FIG. 1 by a sliding closing means 22, which
2 is mounted 9 on a track or rotating support and drive shaft (not shown) in either the ceiling 16 or the base 18, or both.

In a preferred embodiment, the closing means 22 is driven by a motor and a worm gear (not shown), with the latching means being integral to the drive mechanism.

The drive mechanism can only be driven from one end, ie the closing means 22 can only be moved by the action of the motor. When the door or closing means 22 is closed, the door is fixed and cannot be moved by hand, requiring reversal of the motor to open the door. However, for closing and securing and opening and unsecuring the inlet 20, the technique K
Obviously, any standard mode of operation well known and readily available to those familiar with the fff system may be utilized. It is also clear that the locking and unlocking of the closure means may be performed as a separate function in conjunction with the closing and opening of the closure means.

In the actual preferred embodiment, a further panel 121) similar in structure to the panel 12 forming the booth wall and thus bullet and projectile protective constitutes the closing means 22 and is inserted into the vertical door frame member 25. installed. The door or closure means 22 may be opaque or optically impermeable, may be otherwise undesirably attached to the booth, may include latching and unlatching mechanisms, and may be flat or rounded. The good news is obvious.

In installations for indoor use, such as that shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, it is convenient to employ a plurality of booths 10, as will be explained in more detail below. in this case,
Filler panels 24 are arranged between adjacent booths 10. A drive motor (not shown) for actuating the opening means 22 is mounted within the filler panel. The closure means are illustrated schematically in FIGS. 1 to 5 and shown in FIGS.
Operation of the control panel 26, which is adapted for similar use in the booth of Figures 7 to 7, provides convenient access to customers and other persons within the booth. Access for repairing the control panel may be obtained from outside the booth by removing the outer cover 27, illustrated in FIG.

As best shown in the embodiment of FIG.
The inlet 20 and the contact portion 13 are simultaneously unlocked and released, respectively, while the contact portion 13 or
It serves the dual purpose of securing the inlet 20. This means of implementing the invention is accomplished in specialized equipment. In this particular installation, the booth 10 is of round cross-section and the closing means close and secure the contact portion 13 when the interior of the booth is opened to the outside by the inlet 20;
It has a width sufficient to release the contact portion 13 when the inlet 20 is fully closed and secured by the closing means 22. This opening means forms a semi-circle of approximately 180° as shown in FIG.
and the contact portions are spaced apart from each other by 180°. The closing means travels in a path that actually coincides with the axis of the booth in which it is mounted. This applies equally to the booth embodiments of FIGS. 1-5. restricting, or instead of or in addition to, the lateral edges of the contact and inlet;
By arranging the contact and the inlet closer to each other around the perimeter of the booth, the lateral width of the opening means can be reduced without affecting its ability to fulfill the above-mentioned purpose.

The booth 10 may be placed against the teller counter 28 as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the counter 28 may be partially set to 1.

The transaction contact part 13 includes a through hole 29 in each case, as illustrated.

This hole may be of any conventional construction, for example, the cutout 3 of the contact panel 12JL as shown in Figure 8.
A trough formed in the teller counter 28 that passes through 0 and allows transactions between the teller or manager and the customer. This arrangement may be closed or open (eg by means of a conventional closure member, such as ballistic shielding 32). This member is secured to a pair of vertically disposed guides 64 mounted on the teller side of the panel 12&. The shield can be raised and lowered manually or automatically, but the fixing and opening of the shield is done by the second
It is highly desirable that this be carried out by an electric circuit control device provided in accordance with the present invention as illustrated in FIGS. 0 and 21.

This fixing and releasing mechanism, as pointed out, combines with the opening means or the above-mentioned means of fixing and releasing the door 22, so that when the member 22 is opened, the through hole 29 is closed and automatically closed. It is fixed at the M tack position 1 and is stroked so that it is wet. When the door is secured, the through hole 29 may be unsecured and opened, or at least manually opened to the public as necessary to allow transactions between, for example, a teller and a customer.

As shown in more detail in FIG. 5, the teller counter may be exchanged by an automatic banking machine 38 having an exchange unit 40 inserted into a cutout 30 in the panel 12a.

If desired, a shield 32 may also be employed in this application to prevent tampering by the exchange device 40, and alternatively or additionally, when the inlet is opened, i.e. The control circuit may provide complete shut-off of the replacement unit when access is permitted through the replacement unit.

The above-described transaction protection device of the present invention can be modified in a variety of ways and is likewise easily adapted for illustrative use outside of a bank and inside a bank facility, as described above.

Outdoor booths are often used in conjunction with in-house banking operations. When the booth is used outdoors, it is attached to a standard teller counter 28 as shown in FIGS. 1-6 in combination with a filler panel or external counter 24 of FIGS. 6 and 7.

As discussed below, for improved security, mobility, and a more efficient use of space, a preferred embodiment of the present kIA for use with a banking machine is such that booth 10 has a second enclosure. It encloses a body or module in which banking machines are placed.

Referring to teller counter 2BLP, transaction contact trough 29 may be a cylindrical rotatable mechanism as described in US Pat. No. 5,702.101. It may also be advantageous to employ devices that enable or increase the efficiency of audible communication. Various conventional types of intercommunication devices attached to cutouts (not shown) in the transaction contact panel 12a could be used for this purpose. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3.2
A voice box mounted as described in No. 98.329 is suitable.

As mentioned above, one preferred embodiment of the present invention has a penetration @lateral:
It is clear that the transaction surface presented to the customer within booth 10, whether troughed or of any other type, can be closed such that it is essentially a uniform, impenetrable, bullet-proof contact point. . As described, the closing means 22 is fixed in the closed position when the through hole is open or can be opened, and the closing means 22 is fixed in the closed position when the door is open or can be opened. It is also desirable to have restraints in conjunction with the shield fixing and opening mechanisms to ensure that the shield is secured.

As will be appreciated, the booth can take any desired shape, for example round as shown in the drawings, or oval, square, triangular, hexagonal, or rectangular, although the internal dimensions in the preferred embodiment is limited to prevent one or more persons from occupying the booth. This purpose is
This can be conveniently accomplished without creating claustrophobia by inserting a shelf for placing notes and packages around the interior of the booth that is wide enough so that the booth walls are sufficiently spaced from the booth occupant. .

The booth panels 12 (and 121L), as well as the door 22, are ballistic resistant, but as noted are also preferably transparent, both for aesthetics and to reduce the customer experience when confined in a crowded booth. They are made of glass or transparent plastic to break down the undesirable sense of isolation that can occur when using a computer. Furthermore, the possibility of seeing through also facilitates the monitoring of booth occupants.

Alternatively, the panels described above can be treated to be opaque to the outside of the booth, transparent to the inside of the booth, and occult to the occupant, thereby allowing the occupant to observe their surroundings. make it possible. This is a desirable feature when the booth is in a remote external location.

Communication facilities within the booth shall be provided to enable the occupant to obtain police clearance before leaving the booth, should the circumstances warrant police clearance. Also,
The opacity and brightness properties of the panel may be reversed.

In yet other embodiments, there may be an intake grate, preferably on the door 22 or ceiling 16, to allow air to be admitted into the booth upper. A fan and appropriately sized air conditioner may be provided within the booth to facilitate ventilation to expel hot air from a grate located in the ceiling 16 of the booth. The air intake grate, if provided, is generally located at the bottom of the door and has rigid ballistic louvers on its inner and outer surfaces facing the floor in a conventional manner to prevent the passage of bullets outwardly from the interior of the booth. .

The interior of the booth can also be temporarily sealed, if desired, by providing suitable means for covering the grate and administering tear gas designed to clothe the occupant of the booth.

The door or closure means, as mentioned above, can also be attached to the booth and mounted as a sliding panel descending from the ceiling, or, less generally preferred, as a sliding panel rising from the floor at the entrance. It can be installed as

The terms "closed,""secured,""locked," and "latched," and the terms "released,""unsecured,""unlatched," and "opened" have equivalent meanings, and the doors shown in the drawings or It is permissible to make grammatical changes in sentences about the normal operation of means. However, in the diagram, closed move 1! Fixing and unfixing of J1.22 is performed by an m-movement motor. These things apply similarly to the case of the transaction contact section 13, and in this case,
Motor driven closing means act on both the contact portion 13 and the inlet 200. If instead of a drive motor, e.g. a latch release lensoid is employed, the transaction contact is unlocked or unlocked, but the actual opening of the contact is, e.g.
This is done separately by manually lifting the shield 32 in FIG.

This deprinting likewise applies to the closing means 22 and the inlet 20. Door latch release solenoids are particularly useful for unpowered, unpowered doors, or for doors or other closing means, particularly those that may be manually pushed from inside a booth.

The base 18 of the booth 10 is typically preferably bolted or otherwise secured to the floor of the bank or other transaction area in which the booth is located.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the booth 10 is

It is also possible to reduce the degree of the arc formed by a.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the lateral edge 212 of the closure means extends over the entry panel in the first (inlet open) position and in the second (inlet closed) position shown in FIG.
It is aligned with the inner edge of 04. If more room inside the booth 10 is desired, the entry panel 204 can be made to extend outwardly from the entry frame member 23, the closure means being moved outwardly as well, and , if desired, an extension or a peak can be arranged in the closest part of the ceiling 16 concerned, so as to correspond to the arc of the closing means in the second accommodation. A similar extension could be provided in the booth floor 18 if the booth floor 18 is not in a coplanar relationship with the floor around which the booth curves.

At the same door, for example, there is a suspended ceiling at booth 10, ceiling 16, and corner 9.

It is also desirable to be able to fit in a bullet protection structure.

The secondary color unit 200 is adapted for use in conjunction with the Jii 22 a during closure of the external booth 10 in the preferred embodiment.

A secondary package or module 200 of the type that is incorporated into the booth 10, as shown in Figures 13-15 and below, can be used particularly advantageously even in the absence of the booth 1o.

The exemplary module 200, with reference to the embodiment located within the booth 10, may have any shape or combination of shapes, including a cylindrical housing 220'5! :
include. The housing has a fixed vertical rear wall 222.1 or access means and one or more slidably mounted, arcuately rotatable secondary closure means, i.e. nest 2 closure means 224 (and additional 225) if an internal second closure means is present. The lateral edges of the chicken 2 closure means touch the rear wall 22 in the closed position blocking the access means.
It is aligned with 2. In the fully open position, the second closure means 224 and 225 preferably close to the rear wall 22 respectively.
placed inside and outside of 2. Second closure means 2
24 and 225 move along a path that defines an axis that is coincidentally the same as the axis of the arcuate rear wall 222. In the preferred embodiment, the fixed rear wall 222 and the secondary closure means 224 and 225 each form approximately 1800 semicircles and, as can be seen, in the closed state form a closed cylinder. .

Housing 220 consisting of movable and fixed members as described above.
can be formed from a variety of materials. When the computer assembly is contained within the housing 200, one secondary closure means 224 is preferably transparent and made of an impact resistant, typically leopard and anti-protective material. It may be combined with a plurality of concentrically mounted secondary closure means 225 made of fire-resistant and zero-impact metal material.

When two concentric housings are used as closure means, for convenience of reference, the outer one is designated with the reference numeral 224 and the inner one with 225.

If the housing is divided horizontally, these are referred to in the designation by its upper or lower arrangement. That is, the upper outer housing member is designated as 224a, the lower outer housing member is designated as 224b, the inner upper housing member is designated as 225C, and the inner lower housing member is designated as 224b.
Designated as 25d.

As illustrated in FIGS. 13-15, an external closure means 224 comprised of a transparent, impact (e.g., bullet or projectile) resistant material phase extends over a track 226a formed around the upper module bulkhead member 274. and may additionally or alternatively be mounted on a track (shown as 226b) around the module base 284, thereby enclosing and providing access to the contained device 230. A second access member 225 is disposed within the outer access member 224 and comprises a plane or other suitable protective material. In the closed state, the closure means or access member, at its lateral edges, is connected to the closure plate 20
2 is aligned with the fixed wall 222. Secondary closure means 2
25 can also be divided horizontally, in the usual case, and its upper member 225c can be divided horizontally to expose the mounting surface and its operation, or at least to include external secondary closure means 224 or 224a. It is moved to the open state so that it is visible through. The embodiments described above may be employed when the module 200 is used in the booth 10, as well as when the seven joules are housed in a stand-alone unit as shown in FIGS. 13-15. When used to house bank transaction processing equipment such as automatic payment and acceptance machines, the flexible and fixed portions of housing 200 are 3/8"
Theft-resistant materials for such machines shall be used, including inch thick nickel stainless steel, certified equivalent materials, or as may be certified from time to time by the Federal Bureau of Banks or other authorities.

When employed to store automatic ferrous service machinery, the storage compartment is typically located below the contact surface 232 of the machine 230. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 9.1o and 12, the external and internal secondary closure means 224 and 225 (
(which in other cases may be a single unit) may be horizontally split to provide two separate rotating members. namely, outer upper member 224 & (shown in FIGS. 9 and 12), outer lower member 224b, inner upper member 22! l
, and inner lower member 225d, which have equal vertical and lateral dimensions. Upper secondary closure means 22
4a and 225C may be maintained in the open state during banking operations, and in the closed state at other times, or alternatively the first or other booth closing means 2
2a is adapted to open when moved from the first position to the second position.

Alternatively, if access is desired for servicing the machine or storage compartment located below the contact surface 232 of the automated teller or banking machine shown schematically, lower secondary closure means 224b and 225 ( , alone or together with the upper secondary closure means 224a and 225C, and preferably closed @ 'F-vj, 22

In the preferred embodiment of the booth illustrated in FIGS. 9.10 and 11, a second
, also indicated at 220. This housing, if necessary,
made of materials similar to those of the modules, i.e. fire-resistant and fire-resistant materials. The housing 220 of the latter module is similar in construction and consists of a fixed rear wall 222 and if or multiple access members with secondary closure means. However, in this example, the secondary closure hand [2
24 (and internal members 225 if present) are generally integral, as it is less desirable to divide them. This is because access is not normally required for the different classes of persons to whom the exemplary security machine is provided in the first module. The closing means may of course be divided into four balls in this example if desired. Additionally, the at least one movable secondary closure means of the second module housing 220 can close the data processing device during operation without disturbing the environment in which the data processing device 240 is maintained, as illustrated in FIGS. 13-15. 113 of 240! It is desirable to make it transparent to make the festival easier.

Similarly for this second module, a second secondary closure member or insulation shield 225, located within the fixed wall 222 and made of an impact- and fire-resistant material such as metal, is generally opaque. There are certain things that are preferred to be included.

In any case, the module 200 includes a rotating plate or base plate 244, regardless of whether it is the first plate or the second plate described above. Therefore, the rotating plate or plywood is preferably
/li- is arranged continuously within its periphery so as to be able to rotate independently with respect to the housing 200. As can be seen, the rotating plate 244 may be substantially flat and may include other auxiliary rotating plates 246 and 248 independently superimposed within the housing 220 as shown in the independent embodiment of FIG. can be round or circular in horizontal form. The internally disposed housing 225 and its horizontal divisions 225C and 225d together as seen in FIG. 15 have their lower edges normally terminated below the plywood perimeter as seen in FIG. However, its upper end terminates at the outer edge of rotating plate 280 and is fixedly engaged therewith. If a banking machine, such as an automatic payment or acceptance machine, is housed within the module, the internal closure means or access member 225 is preferably provided in the upper bulkhead member, in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Banking Administration, for example as described in Regulation PK. 274-7 lunge 28
9 and preferably extends to the base 284.

The plywood shall not be used for any transaction processing machinery or electronic data processing equipment present within 7 Joules for repairs etc. in the same area and through the same second closed @SP stage or access member used for all other purposes. It allows easy access to the rear surface or any other surface of the device, thereby achieving a previously unknown economy of function and space utilization.

The rotation of the plywood can be selectively integrated with the opening of one or all parts of the secondary closing means and the closing of the closing means 22a towards the outside via standard control springs /I/ (not shown).

All functions described herein, as well as securing or latching and unlatching of the booth or module, are conveniently performed by conventional electrical circuitry well known to those skilled in the art. The control means controls other devices, e.g.

As illustrated in the independent module in Figure 5, the drive shaft is
It is attached to the rotating shaft on the lower surface of the rotating plate 244. Alternatively, rotation of the rotating plate may be accomplished by crude mechanical means apparent to those skilled in the art. In practice, although less preferred, the zero rotation differential position accomplished by manual means may be fixed by an externally actuated brake or locking mechanism on the drive 44fI 252.

A similar drive #J mechanism 270 is connected to the first
As shown in FIG. 3, the upper module housing 275
The upper Joule partition member 274 is mounted on the upper Joule bulkhead member 274 disposed within. The rotating shaft 276 passes through the partition member 274 and is independently rotatably mounted by a bearing assembly (not shown), and is aligned with the m-line of the circular horizontally disposed upper rotating plate 280. The rotating plate is fixed to the @276 and rotated thereby.

The internal protective closure means 225ij1 of the module 200 can be mounted on the rotating plate 224, but as mentioned above, is preferably continuous with the periphery of the upper rotating plate 280 and can be actuated manually as well as mechanically. Internal closure means 225
When is divided horizontally into 225C and 225d,
The support and drive mechanisms for 225C are the same as those described for 225 as a J\L- unit.

The support and drive mechanism for 225d consists of an arcuate track on base 284, which is circular in shape and has an inward drive ring (not shown), and a drive motor (not shown). Alternatively, a variety of methods may be employed, as will be apparent from one technique. Of course, a manual operation associated with the electric control means, ie disabling the operation of said closing means in case of a failure of the drive class A, can also be used, but this is less preferred. Although described with respect to the inner closure means 225, it is clear that the outer closure member 224 can be similarly divided and that the modes of operation described above with respect to the inner closure means or member 225 are equally applicable to the outer closure member. As mentioned above, in a preferred embodiment, the lateral edges of the access member 225 are connected to the fixed wall 22 in the open state.

The shield 222 is secured within the outer edge of the upper module separation member 274, outside the outer periphery of a plate 280, and is attached to the floor or floor on which the unit or module is placed! f5 section 2 section 84 is extended. As mentioned above, the upper end of the rotatable protective secondary closure means 225 is preferably in abutting, sliding, sealing relationship with the upper seven joule bulkhead 274 by seven flange 289 and is connected to the module or service machine. If the lower end of the module serves to store the

The rotation guide means consisting of the pillar 285 supports the base plate 244 81! @do. These guides may be extendable in a manner that supports the plywood or rotating plate 244 at a desired level on the module base 284 and, of course, below the bulkhead member 274. at the same time,
The flange 289 similarly has an internal secondary closure means 2250.
It functions to set the level of the rotating plate.

In accordance with the practice of the present invention, the above-described apparatus may respond to alarms and override controls in the booths of FIGS. responds to unwarranted WJs or unauthorized, i.e., unprogrammed, access attempts resulting from physical attacks or unauthorized, i.e., unprogrammed, access attempts that are accessed by banking machines as a result of thieves or other tampering.

．． With particular reference to the independent embodiment of FIGS. 13-15, the upper module housing 275H1 is continuous with and forms an entrance to the suspended ceiling 286, and the suspended ceiling is connected to the suspended ceiling 286 of FIGS. It will be seen that it includes conventional heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, and electrical and communication lines, as shown schematically in the figure. Electricity and communications In particular, modules are connected to create the controlled environment necessary for their operation, for example if electronic data processing equipment is housed within the module. Rising duct 29
0 serves to transmit the aforementioned ambient components into the interior of module 200 in the embodiment of FIG. For example, the support member 14 illustrated in FIG. 1 and employed in the fixed wall of the second enclosure as well as in the external booth may be integrated with a rising duct 290 for the purpose of transmitting gas flow into the enclosure. To carry out this transmission, r! IIW1. Member 274 is perforated (not shown). In addition, the rotating plate 244
and the upper rotating plate 280 is also perforated (not shown).
, ensuring that the above-mentioned ambient atmospheric components enter the module and are uniformly distributed. In addition, a duct similar to the above-mentioned duct R can be used to heat the floor under the floor, which is arranged through the module or the module base 284 as illustrated in FIG.
It is also within the optical picture of the present invention to be able to carry out transmission in particular from ventilation and air conditioning devices. It is also possible to place as many units in the upper module housing 275 as are sufficient to ensure the necessary atmospheric control for integration within the module or room in which the device 23G is located. The fire detection means 294, the fire suppression means 295, and the motor control device, 297, and the emergency power supply 299 for these devices are easier to assemble, disassemble, or move the module 200 of the enclosure 220 than is schematically shown in Figure @13. It is placed inside the housing on the module without compromising its physical appearance. These means are also utilized in the trade security booths of FIGS. 9-12 described above. Alternatively, these members may be placed on the base 284 or module 200, under the floor 18 of the booth 10, and under the enclosure 2000 rotary plate or floor equipment in the hrI booth.

For illustrative purposes, a plurality of independent modules (i.e., independent in the absence of the booth structure of enclosure 9) are shown in FIG. 15 that incorporate the suspended ceiling above.

Alternatively, it is also possible to have one that merges with the ceiling below, or a combination of both. The booth includes an upper module housing 275, a fixed wall or housing 220, and a transparent closure means or shield 2 to prevent the access member from dying.
24, so that the computer incorporated into module 200 and illustrated schematically in FIG. The operation of i[230 can be observed by being present at the controller 292 and in each case without opening the closure means or shield 224.

However, an internally (or externally) reinforced obliteration closure means 225 made of a fire- and impact-resistant material, such as steel, etc., and therefore normally non-reinforced, maintains the access opening remaining normally open. The module 200 (0) in FIG. As described, the closure means 224, generally arranged in concentric circles on the translucent exterior, serve primarily to protect the environment within the module 200, as well as to allow observation of the stored equipment during use. 0
The closing means 225, which is usually heavy and opaque, will be closed when the data processing device is not in operation, or will be closed automatically in the event of fire, water leakage or vandalism or improper use of the storage device.

As illustrated by module 2oo(a) in FIG. 15, transparent uAthI! The shield 224 is closed to maintain a controlled environment within the module. In the 7 Joule 200 (1) of FIG. 15, the outer transparent closure means 224 (the inner protective closure flat panel 225 is shown in the open state, data lower Riso@240C) is exposed at the rear,
It is rotated on rotary plate 244 for repair. The operating state of the 7 Joule 2oo(c) in this same drawing is identical to the operating state of the module 2QO(a). module/
I/200(d) is the external and internal closure BPW and its divided elements 224a, 2241).

225C and 225d are shown in the closed condition.

Particular advantages of the invention are clear from the example in FIG. 15. That is, as shown, the overall environment in which the module is proposed to be placed does not need to mirror the stringent control requirements required within a module in which electronic data processing equipment is housed. The room containing the computer can be accessed at will, but each module is protected against barbarism. Each access shield or panel 224 is latched in the booth 10 (D manner) as described. At the same time, a desired piece of electronic data processing equipment, along with its modules, can be easily removed from its indicated position and It can be installed immediately, usually anywhere else, by inserting it into an existing heating, venting and emptying #4!lE wire.

If the turntable on which the equipment is placed is above floor level, the module can provide extendable tilting means for installing and removing data or transaction processing equipment from the booth.

Figures 16 and 17 illustrate a protective "am" housing 300 for use in a smaller device than contemplated above. On-board computer terminal or microcomputer 304 schematically shown in FIGS. 16 and 17
is an example of this device.

The housing includes a preservation fixed housing 305 and a closing means 6.
06 (shown in the closed state in FIG. 16 and in the open state in FIG. 17), preferably an opaque one-body shield rotatable about a vertical axis common to the axis of the fixed housing 305 including.

The rotary closure means or access member 306 is slidably mounted around the aforementioned town and movably as described above with respect to the access member 225 of the module 200 described above. Similarly, the housed device 304 is mounted on the rotating plate 610.

In addition, the 1g! is designed to detect intentional destruction or misuse of ventilation means such as blower assemblies, fire detection elements, fire suppression devices, and contained equipment f1! ! : Can also be present in a housing or enclosure,
It may be provided as described with respect to FIGS. 16-15. However, it is usually practical for this purpose to provide a line that enters the housing.

The closure means 306 can be mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis or an intermediate at-line between the horizontal and vertical planes as well. The general shape of the enclosure is shown as spherical in the preferred embodiment of FIGS. 16 and 17. In any case, it should be noted that various shapes can be used to form the shape of the enclosure 300, and that the shape of the fixed shield 305, for example spherical, and the closure means, for example hemispherical, are suitable for the computer terminal equipment to be housed! Or it will depend largely on the shape of the microcomputer 304. The actuating means of the maintenance shield or closure means 506 is such that when the passage of the shield or closure means is obstructed,
A slip clutch may be included to stop the arcing motion. A detection member is disposed along the edge of the closure means or shield 306 such that when an object is placed in the path of movement of the shield 306, the movement of the closure means is temporarily interrupted until the unwanted object is removed. It can be made to cause a target stoppage.

Enclosure 300 can be mounted to a counter or desk top or any adjustable elevated support surface. Serves as an alternative for use with other embodiments of the invention.

As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, this device can also be used as a staff entrance unit 340, for example to enable controlled entry of personnel into areas requiring security checks or passage. It can act as a means to protect the area from being exposed directly to the outer iW& boundary.

So constructed, the assembly shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 consists of two arcuate shields 22 which operate independently of each other and move along a circular path of a common axis.
1) Contains a closure means consisting of a diaphragm and 22C. The shields are arranged concentrically, but one shield aligns with and abuts the other as they occupy complementary portions of the circular path of travel. Both vertical shields may be circular in horizontal cross section, but in a preferred embodiment they differ in the degree of circumference they occupy. That is, the inner-order shield 22c forms approximately 1800 arcs. The external secondary rotating shield encompasses an arc of 90° or more to 180°. It is generally preferable that this latter range is small, since the secondary shield 221) of this size is
This is because it makes it possible to carry out purposes such as monitoring and passing the tumor and the theory of theory in the area while carrying out the purposes for which it is used. Moreover, this is
For example, if a single shield of 270° is used, this can also be done with a considerably smaller cross-sectional area.

be. The internal shield 22Q has a rotating plate 280 at its upper end.
It is fixedly attached to 1. The rotating plate 280' is
It is attached to a vertically arranged rotary support, kA moving shaft 2761. Shaft 276' is thus connected to motor and drive assembly 350 and secured to support plate 552 by a conventional bearing assembly (not shown). As will be appreciated, the external or primary shield (access member 221) forming an arc of 90° to 180° is not compatible with conventional drive ring assemblies slidably mounted around the periphery of the rotating plate. It is operatively and independently movably mounted and is driven separately from drive assembly 350 by second drive assembly 554 .

The second drive assembly is electrically powered in the preferred embodiment, but may be mechanical, pneumatic, or the like. This latter drive assembly 354 is connected to drive shaft 276'
It is eccentrically mounted on the rotating plate 2801 so as to cooperate with the rotating plate 2801. Control of the second drive assembly or device 354 is now via a sensing mechanism 556 mounted on one of the assembly's two support girders 358, and the drive assembly 554 and device 356 are connected to interact with conventional O1E control means as described above.

The support girders 358 maintain the stability of the assembly by engaging the lateral edges of the support plates 352 and by struts 560 extending from each support girder 358 to the opposite edge of the plate 352.

The closing means 22k) and 220 move between the three thrones during operation and return to the first of these positions after the end of the cycle. Thus, someone attempting to use device 340 to enter the booth (or the computer room as shown in FIG. 15, in fact along the hallway) will find a blocked passageway and will be able to access the shield 22). and enters the circular part of the device formed by the rotary path 220. This may be done, or in close proximity, for example by the use of the personnel's identification card, alternatively or additionally by stepping on the pressure-sensitive mat 400, or by employing other actuation means common to protected passage. By doing so, preparations for confirmation are made. However this is done, anything that enters the circular section described above will have an internal 180° that forms a concave section for itself.
between the arcuate shields 22C. Behind it, a preferably small concentric outer shield 22m) is arranged.

This is called the first position. When the actuation of the device 34 is performed, for example via the detection control mechanism 356, the inner shield 220 is caused to rotate opposite to the direction of rotation of the outer shield 221). The relative directions shown in FIG. 19 are counterclockwise with respect to the internal shield 22Q and clockwise with respect to the external shield. These directions can be reversed within the contemplation of the present invention, and the interior and exterior placement of the shield can also be changed. However, the relationship limited to, for example, FIG. 19 is a preferred specific example.

Initially, upon reaching the g20 position mentioned above by placing the ring drive assembly attached to the rotating plate 280, the outer shield 221) can be said to simply remain in place but move in a clockwise direction. Meanwhile, the internal shield 220 is exposed to the rotating plate 280 and its motor gJA motion assembly.
One lateral edge of each of the two shields is aligned with the other and moved to the point where the circumference occupied by the shield is the sum of the arcs formed by the two shields. In this position, the entrance into the chamber or other passageway or secondary enclosure or module 200 appearing in booth 1G or FIG.
The possibility of remaining in the blocked state and exiting into the area guaranteed to enter said circular part is reduced to IQM and eliminated by the arc formed by the external shield. The shield is
Then, depending on luck, it continues to advance clockwise and counterclockwise to the final position 3.

In this position, the two shields are once again placed concentrically, but this time with the entrances crossing the originally created circular sections. The shielding body 22Q completely closes off this circular portion together with the external shielding body placed behind it. In the third position, the opposite side of the circular part is open and unobstructed to anything entering the circular part, and when that thing advances from the circular part, the detection means 356 causes the direction of the shield to be reversed. , return to the off position. The passage through the three positions is a continuous passage. This is a significant indication that a reduced arc range shield is being used in the practice of the present invention. A thug or vandal may cause the arcuate movement of only the internal shield 22C, including the arcuate movement of the inner shield 22C, in a state where both members are not in alignment resulting from the arcuate movement in opposite directions.
Although it would not be possible to enter the enclosure formed by members 221) and 220, an external shield is provided by the invention. If you do not draw an arc of 90° or more,
For example, one person could set off a fire extinguisher or set off a bomb or arson device when another object entered the enclosure. To prevent injury to authorized users of the booth or enclosure protected by the shields 221) and 22Q, the drive motor is operated by a slip which temporarily prevents movement of the closing means if the passage is blocked. A clutch may be provided.

If the passage is blocked, it is also desirable to return the shield to the above-mentioned first position by means of 1tull'#. Similarly, the edges of the shields 221) and 22C on the track can be fitted with sliding detection members in aerometric communication with the control means 656, thereby making them more biased towards objects in the path.

It is particularly desirable and unique that the securing and releasing of the inlets or contacts in the booth of FIGS. 1-5 is accomplished by electrical circuitry in accordance with the present invention. Irrespective of the particular equipment employed, i.e. a booth, for example as embodied in Figures 1-4 or Figures 6 and 7, or a banking fr4 as in Figure 5.
It is adopted along with the machine, but Chirui G-! :
Whether illustrated in FIGS. 9-12, the control of the closing means 22 simultaneously closes and releases both the transaction interface and the inlet, so that an assembly such as that shown in FIG. It is clear from the description that the circuitry required with respect to FIGS. 6 and 7 is reduced in complexity if the secondary enclosures of FIGS. 9-12 are omitted. Dew. However, this omission has the considerable disadvantage that the contact and the inlet cannot be fixed in the closed position when the alarm is deactivated as described. 1 is a schematic diagram of conventional air control circuit means for securing and releasing a door; FIG.

As embodied, for example, in FIGS. 1-6, according to the invention there is also included a circuit for additionally overriding the normal securing and releasing means of closing means or members of transaction contacts and entrances. ing.

The device thus includes a door control mechanism for the booth 10 for normal operation as well as a disabling control. this is,
For example, it could be used at the option of a teller or other administrator within a bank.

The override control and alarm means, when actuated, prevent the door or closure means 22 from opening. Authorized personnel leaving the booth will also be alerted by an audible alarm or light integrated into the override circuit on the outside of the booth. The invention has the advantage in this respect that the criminal can be arrested at the scene of the crime. This is unique and desirable both from the point of view of potential casualties and from the perspective of law enforcement authorities. The power source 50 is connected to the motor reverse rotation Mj (11
41 unit 662. When this switch 72 is closed, it causes the closing means 22 to close;
Cinematically by use of the worm gear drive described above (not shown) or otherwise fixed υ by an independent latch (not shown).

When the closing means 22 is closed, the door close switch 54
is closed, energizing the transaction initiation solenoid 56. This solenoid unlocks the transaction contact 15 or opens it if desired.

When a transaction through a contact is completed by a customer in conjunction with a transaction processing machine or a teller, for example, a transaction completion switch 58 is actuated by the teller who closes the contact. If a banking machine 38 is used in place of the sailor, the switch 58 is actuated by the banking machine to cause the door opening switch 60 to unlock the closing means 22 and at the same time to open the door closing switch 54t. This releases the energization of the transaction start solenoid, and the solenoid springs back to fix the contact portion 13't-.

It is clear to those skilled in the art that all acts referred to as being taken by a teller in the law are shadowed by the transaction processing machine or device that works with it. Ru.

The cycle can also be arranged, if desired, such that there is a time lag of variable duration between the securing of the contact and the unsecuring of the door or closing means 22.

The fixing and releasing means can be overridden by alarm equipment included in the circuit. When alarm relay 68 is activated, its relay O normally closed contact 70 opens, disabling door opening and closing f1 functions. As shown, the door 22 either stops moving, but remains in one position when the alarm is activated, or from whatever position the door remains in when the alarm is activated. This also includes preparation for closing the door. Alarm relay 6B is switch 6
It is activated by the closing of 4. Alarm relay contacts 80 are closed and maintain the alarm condition until switch 82 is pressed to open the circuit.

FIG. 20 may be modified to constitute other forms of the invention. After this, the modification on the right is switch 54, solenoid 5
6. Removal of those mutual pleat lines. When the customer leaves the transaction, the circuit suspends the door open and door close functions and disables the transaction. In any case, the basis of the preferred embodiment of the invention is the l & working movement between the door 22 and the closing means and the transaction contact part. The transaction contacts are unlocked when the door 22 is fully closed.

Ir if you want! , by some means, the transaction contact becomes fixed when the door is released or opened. Also, teller devices, which are normally used to secure or open doors, cannot operate unless the transaction contacts are secured. This is accomplished by providing a transaction initiation switch that records the status of the transaction contacts. When the contacts are closed, switch 58 is closed, enabling the door controls.

When the contacts are opened, the switch 58 is also opened and the control is disabled.

The above operations are general descriptions of the teller-operated booth, but
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art, as indicated by the above description, that the above-described security device would function equally well if replaced with a banking machine. In the latter case, the control means may operate the transaction machine only when the door 22 is closed and secured, as described above, and the unlocking of the shield 32 in one embodiment of the contact being actuated by the teller. , you can optionally replace it with a rise if you wish.

A more detailed example of the circuitry used to accomplish the foregoing and other additional objects and advantages described in this book can be found below in conjunction with the wiring diagram of FIG. Clarified by explanation.

Pursuant to this embodiment, a control device connected to a standard conventional DC power source 100 may be configured to allow a teller, similar installation or other operator to actuate mode switch 110 to the "on" position. It is left in active use. This step serves to energize the door control and illuminate the booth "on" indicator 111.

According to the position of the door 22 at this point, the door open and door close indicators 161 and 1
Either or both of 16 are also lit. For example, if it is not fully opened, a teller or other IT worker can cause the door or closure to open by depressing the teller door pushbutton 120. This pushbutton 120 is connected to a door opening relay 125 and a door ff
The i% motor 63 (not shown in FIG. 20) is energized. When the door is fully opened, the booth is fully accessible to the customer and the door close indicator 116 is illuminated.

Upon entering the booth, the customer depresses the customer close door pushbutton 152 if the control panel is positioned within the booth, such as shown in FIGS. 1-8.

The pushbutton 152 energizes the closing relay 115 and the door or closing means drive motor 63, for example riW11-8.
Door or closing means 220 track (not shown) in the figure.
Start moving to the closed position along the

At this point, door open indicator 161 lights up to notify the customer that the door is closed. If the customer does not wish to remain in the booth and tamper with the transaction via contact s15, he can reverse the operation of the closing means 22 by depressing the customer open door pushbutton 119. When the door is fully closed, the closure limit switch 114 is actuated to energize the through solenoid 117, e.g., to open the shield 32 of the transaction connection Li@ section 13 and, if desired, to open t'i. Activate the position. When the contacts open, the contact limit switch 127 is actuated to extinguish the door open indicator 131 and disable the door open valve buttons 119 and 12o. In this regard, transactions can be conducted via the contacts.

Upon completion of the transaction and closure of the contacts, the contacts and passage restriction switch 127 is closed, illuminating the door open indicator 131 and enabling the door open valve buttons 119 and 120. Tellers, customers or other managers in this regard.
The door opening function can be initiated by depressing one of the door opening buttons 119 or 120. This serves to energize the door opening relay 125 and door drive motor 63 to initiate opening of the closing means 22. Opening of the door or closure is not actually performed until the closure M1 limit switch 114 is operated to deenergize the transaction contact solenoid 117 and, in the embodiment of FIG. 10, to latch the contact in the closed position. It won't happen. The door closing support means 116Fi is illuminated, and if the customer changes his mind and wishes to conduct further transactions via the contacts, he can change the direction of the door by depressing the door closing pushbutton 152. I can do it. Contacts 1'56 and 156 are connected to door open relay 125 and door close M I

It is thin enough to eliminate 31.

The teller closes each door close button 15 by pressing and holding the teller door pushbutton.
2 can be invalidated. The teller can also disable the side door in any position and at any time by switching the mode switch 110 to the "off" position [167]. Additionally, one teller disables the customer control device;
Actuation of the mode switch 10 to the "closed" position may also elect to close the inlet by means of the door or closing means 22. The booth can also be removed from normal operation (by moving mode switch 110 to the "off" position m167 if desired).

This extinguishes the indicator and disables the control system.

Upon generation of a warning signal from any source, such as teller warning pushbutton 158, warning indicator 141 and warning relay 150 are energized and closed by holding contact 146. Activation of warning relay 130 opens normally closed contact 126;
Disable door open indicator 131 and door open valve buttons 119 and 120, thereby preventing the door from being rpA released by the drive motor.

At the same time, optionally, a switch device, such as a step relay (not shown), can be integrated into the device w, for connecting a tape recorder to the booth as a source of warning signals. Close the door and touch @

The normally closed alarm transmission loop contact 161 opens and sends a signal to a remote protection unit outside the trading area, such as a sensor. Furthermore, the all-booth alert condition initiated as described above by the alarm bus 159 disables the door opening function in all remaining booths. The alarm condition also activates a switch device (not shown) in the preferred embodiment 2 to connect the tape recorder and tape player to the booth that is the alarm source. During the newsletter state, the warning relay 130 cannot be reset. For four-alarm status, press alarm reset pushbutton 1
It is cleared by pushing down 72. However, the warning condition persists until reset. Actuation of the master reset pushbutton 147 simultaneously clears the four [relays 137 and warning relays 130] of each booth involved. The warning and alarm reset control device is

The door or closing means can be opened at any time by operation of the emergency door opening switch 139 located on the mask control panel described above. Also located on this mask control panel is a key switch enable switch 153. The enabling switch 153 enables a so-called police key switch 154, which allows the opening or closing of the closed hand Vi at any time under the supervision of a suitable authority.

The diodes 143 and 145 serve to isolate portions of the circuit and prevent mutual interference between the emergency door opening switch, the normal door opening control, and the placement device. Switches 122, 125, 134 and 135 are combined to maintain motor control 62 (schematically shown in FIG. 20 as described above) and motor 66 (also schematically shown in FIG. 20). It is desirable that Safety switches 121 and 133 on the door edge 25 stop the door when a body is between the door edge and the booth frame 14.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that certain parts of the multiple locations described in the above detailed application of the invention may be suitably provided in duplicate.

By way of example, indicators may be provided in duplicate on the customer+it control panel and on the teller control panel and the mask control panel in the booth. Similarly, an alarm button 164 or similarly convenient control means may be integrated into the teller station and master panel.

It will be clear that in the detailed control system of FIG. 21, during expansion and closing of contact or penetration 13, vi 22 must be secured in the closed position before it can be unlocked or opened. For this purpose, the limit switch 127 is closed (either by closing the contact gPc or by deactivating the Bank Tosuke Machine Changer) to enable the door number control device. In order to divide the fixation of the contact part 13 by M and release it if desired, or to operate the banking machine 68, as shown in FIG.
The transaction contact or through solenoid 117 must not be energized. Said solenoid 117 can additionally be energized only when the closing means are fully closed. This is tl
This is done by the f'll limit switch 114.

The switch 114 is activated only when the door or closing stage is fully closed to release the connection plJifl,+.

Control of the safety 11 device is accomplished by an electrical circuit as described above, but the control device is not connected to the door 22 or the through-closure platform 6.
