Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mechanized store structure for financial institutions such as banks.

In recent years, an increasing number of financial institutions such as banks are equipped with machines that directly handle cash, such as automatic teller machines (hereinafter referred to as ATMs) or automated teller machines (hereinafter referred to as CDs).

However, in the past, ATMs, CDs, etc. were only considered to be an aid to human counter operations. Its safety is left under direct human control.

However, it is conceivable that stores centered on ATMs, CDs, etc. that will assist or eliminate the need for human counter operations (hereinafter referred to as mechanized stores) will become widespread, and it will be necessary to ensure the safety of ATMs, CDs, etc. in such mechanized stores. The problem arose that it could not be left to the direct management of a few people.

The present invention aims to provide a store structure that ensures safety against fire and theft in mechanized stores of financial institutions such as banks, and the present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the mechanized store structure of the present invention, excluding the ceiling.
The store T consists of a machine room A, a lobby/sales room B, and miscellaneous rooms C ₁ and C ₂ such as toilets.

Machine room A has a floor 11 and walls 10, 10 surrounding it on all sides.
..., an entrance/exit door 14 provided at a suitable location on the wall 10, and a ceiling (not shown) extended above the wall 10.

Machine room A is located next to lobby/sales room B and wall 1.
0, but this wall 10 has one or more machine room windows 12, 12... (4 in the illustration).
i) is open.

Inside the machine room A, ATMs, CDs, etc. 13 are installed at each window 12 and can be operated from the lobby/sales room B.

The walls 10, 10, . . . ceiling and door 14 of the machine room A are made of materials (for example, iron plates, concrete, etc.) that protect against fire and theft.

The floor 11 of machine room A may be made of similar protective material, but may also be made of other materials;
A safe may be installed in addition to ATM, CD, etc. 13.

Next, the lobby/sales room B is adjacent to the machine room A via a wall 10, and the machine room window 1 provided in the wall 10 is
From the lobby/sales room B at 2,12...
As mentioned above, ATM, CD, etc. 13 are made operable.

This lobby/sales room B is provided with an entrance/exit 1, windows 5, 5, a table 3 and chairs 4 for customers, and a counter 2 for sales.

Windows 5, 5, tables 3, chairs 4, and counter 2 are incidental and installed according to the needs of the store.

A screen 6 is installed between the machine room windows 12 in the lobby/sales room B to improve customer service.

In addition to machine room A and lobby/sales room B, there are miscellaneous rooms C ₁ and C ₂ such as toilets, but these are additional facilities.

If there are no general rooms C ₁ and C ₂ , use machine room A for security reasons.
The door 14 must be attached to the wall 10 adjacent to the lobby/sales room B, rather than the wall 10 facing the outside of the store T, so that it can be opened into the store T.

The structure of the mechanized store shown in FIG.
You will operate ATMs, CDs, etc. 13 to deposit or withdraw cash, etc.

Normally, the machine room door 14 is closed, but if necessary, it can be opened to allow access to and from the machine room 14.

Next, during non-business hours, the machine room door 14 and the entrance/exit 1 are closed, but as a result, the machine room A has walls 10, 10 made of protective materials...the ceiling and the store T.
ATM, CD, etc. 13 are sealed with a door 14 that opens inward.
The theft of large amounts of cash, etc. is prevented.

In the event of a fire, the safety of the machine room A is similarly ensured by keeping the machine room door 14 closed.

Next, another mechanized store structure according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 2, in which the store T has a machine room A and a lobby/sales room B.
It is the same as in FIG. 1 in that it has .

However, this store T is different from the store shown in FIG. 1 in that it has more general rooms C ₁ and C ₅ and is equipped with a toilet, a storage room, a cafeteria, and a changing room.

Furthermore, this store T is different from the store shown in FIG. 1 in that three sides of the walls 10, 10, .

The mechanized branch structure of a financial institution such as a bank according to the present invention has the following effects in terms of the above-mentioned structural functions.

(1) The mechanized store structure of the present invention has the configuration described in the claims, and in particular, the door of the machine room is made of a protective material and can be opened into the store, so it is extremely safe from theft.

(2) The mechanized store structure of the present invention has the same configuration as above, and is particularly safe against fire because the walls, ceiling, and door of the machine room are made of protective materials.

(3) The mechanized store structure of the present invention has the same configuration as above, and in particular, has a machine room separate from the lobby/sales room, and intensive consideration has been given to the safety of the machine room, resulting in an extremely rational store structure.
