Referring to FIG. 1, 1 is a safe that stores storage boxes in a known automatic safe deposit box system, and 2 is a place where customers can obtain their own storage boxes 3 and take out and store necessary items. It is a private room, and has an operation panel 21 equipped with input means for inputting data and commands for requests by customers to take out and return storage boxes.
Reference numeral 4 denotes a transport device for transporting storage boxes between the safe room 1 and the private room 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a supervisor's room where a supervisor is located, where the system starts and stops, inputs and outputs necessary data, and monitors system failures.

In the private room 2, according to the present invention, there is a storage box detector 6 for detecting the presence of a storage box on the handling table 22, and a storage box detector 6 for detecting that the weight applied on the handling table 22 is more than a certain value. It has a weight detector 7, a person detector 8 that detects the presence of a person in the private room 2, and a key detector 9 that detects if the key 31 has been forgotten to be removed from the storage box when returning the storage box. .

As the storage box detector 6, for example, a micro switch, a photo sensor, or the like is used. A so-called scale may be used as the weight detector. For example, the upper panel of the handling table 22 may be floatingly supported by springs 71, 71, and the micro switch 72 may be turned on when the weight applied to the upper panel exceeds a certain value. As the presence detector 8,
For example, a photo sensor or an infrared detector is used. Further, in addition to the photo sensor, a door closure detector such as a reed switch or a micro switch may be used to supplementarily detect whether the entrance door of the private room is closed. The key detector 9 may be a micro switch provided at a passage port from the private room when the storage box 3 is transferred from the handling table to the transfer device.

In the supervisor's room 5, there is a return button 2 on the operation panel 21.
A display 5 for displaying the situation inside the private room based on the operation output of 1a and the output status of the detectors 6 to 9.
