Description

  The present invention provides a visual representation from the customer side of a customer service space where customer service is performed in business hours and a business space where customer service has been completed but business is still being performed in financial stores such as banks. The present invention relates to a blindfold device that can be shielded or opened.

  In financial institutions such as banks, during business hours involving customer service, business is conducted in the form of having customers visit each customer service counter set for each business content. For example, at 3:00 pm, the store structure and form, such as partitioning the ATM corner and other business spaces with shutters, etc., to prevent visitors from entering the store, except for unattended ATM corners It is taken.

  By the way, as part of the so-called financial liberalization in recent years, business hours can be extended (extended) and holiday business, etc. at financial institutions. Since there is no business space that is separated from other business spaces, for example, there is a means for visually shielding business departments that have extended customer service hours and other conventional business departments. There is no current situation.

  However, if the business department space where the customer service hours are extended in the same store and the business department space due to conventional business hours can be looked over to the visitors without any partition, physically Or, it is considered psychologically inconvenient in terms of safety or business execution.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the customer service in the same store is provided by at least visually shielding or opening the space of the department that performs customer service in the same store and the space of the department that does not perform customer service depending on the business hours. Finance that can be used to shield or release the space of departments with different business hours from other departments in order to ensure visual and physical independence from visitors in the so-called time-bound customer service. An object is to provide a blindfold device for a store.

  The structure of the blindfold device of the present invention, which has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, is such that the figure of a business worker inside the counter can be seen from the front side of the counter in front of the customer service counter in a financial store such as a bank. It is characterized in that it is provided with a blindfolding means such as an openable / closable screen that can be hidden.

  In the above-described configuration, the present invention is configured such that a blind-type means such as a screen has a substantially gate-shaped frame having a width commensurate with the front width of a customer service counter to which the screen is to be installed, in front of the counter, For example, a roll-up type that can be moved up and down is used.

  By attaching a beam member and a support member to either or both of the left and right support members in the portal frame, the portal frame is substantially L-shaped in plan view or symmetrical or substantially concave. It may be arranged. In addition, the left and right support members of the portal frame may be provided with a horizontal pull-up type screen member as an example.

  As the screen member in the above, a screen member made of sheet fabric, woven fabric or knitted fabric is selected and used, and a shutter member or a blind member can be used instead of these screen members. The screen member may be made of non-woven fabric.

  The gate-type frame constituting the blindfolding means of the present invention has a structure in which other partition members are connected at the support member, so that the front side is visually shielded by the screen or the like of the blindfolding means. Moreover, since it can shield also from the side surface side, a higher shielding effect can be acquired. This is because, as an example, a column-type frame member that can be freely inserted and removed is provided on the support member of the portal frame, which is pulled out as needed and used as a blindfold, or as described above, or as described above. The same effect can be obtained even in a blindfolding device in which another portal frame provided with a screen member is connected to the left or right side or any one of the portal frame.

  A blindfold device for a financial store according to the present invention is based on an openable / closable type screen or the like that can hide the appearance of a business worker inside the counter so that it cannot be seen from the front side of the counter in front of the customer service counter. Since it is formed by providing the blindfolding means, it becomes possible to easily and easily shield necessary departments in the store due to changes in business hours, business forms, etc. in existing financial stores.

  Next, an embodiment of the blindfold device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which an example of the blindfolding device of the present invention is installed in front of a customer service counter and a shielding screen is not used. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the screen of the blindfolding device of FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view with the front width and height omitted in order to explain the structure of the blindfold device of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3, and FIG. 6 is a plan view of an example of an existing financial store in a state in which the blindfolding device of the present invention is not installed, FIG. 7 is a plan view of a state in which an example of the blindfolding device of the present invention is installed in the store of FIG. 6, and FIG. FIG. 9 is a front sectional view of another example of the portal frame, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged side sectional view of the portal frame of FIG.

  In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a customer service counter at, for example, a deposit corner Cf in a financial store such as a bank, which is formed by arranging one or more customer service counters formed for a normal financial institution side by side. A visitor chair 2 and the like are arranged as necessary.

  In the present invention, a gate-type frame F having a front width corresponding to the front width of the customer service counter 1 installed to form the deposit corner Cf is disposed on the front side of the counter 1 and a beam member of the frame F is provided. An example of the blindfolding device BL of the present invention is formed by supporting the screen member 6 having the pull-down mode illustrated in FIG. FIG. 2 shows a state where the screen member 6 is lowered and the counter 1 is shielded. Incidentally, the left and right width of the frame F is assumed to be, for example, about 6 m at maximum and the height is about 2 to 2.5 m. In the present invention, how much this size is set is determined by each store to be applied. Since it is formed corresponding to conditions such as the front width of the customer service counter at the power corner, it is optional.

The blindfold device BL of the present invention described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 is installed in the existing store MS illustrated in FIG. 6 as an example, and this point will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the existing store MS shown in FIG. 6, a safe room Sr and an ATM corner At are partitioned by a fixed wall W near the right half of the room. On the other hand, on the left side of the room, the customer service counter 1 is placed side by side in the middle of the depth direction, divided into the business room space Gs and the visitor space Vs, and the reception room Rs is located in the corner on the left front side of the visitor space Vs. Is partitioned by a wall W. In each of the spaces Gs and Vs, De is a desk, Ta is a table, Ch is a chair, Be is a bench, and Ca is a cabinet.

  In the above-mentioned existing store MS, the boundary between the ATM corner At where the three ATMs are installed and the visitor space Vs is shut off by the shutter Sh when the business hours end, and only from the entrance En to the ATM corner At. Visitors were formed so that they could not go in and out.

  However, in the store Ms, in the business room space Gs, the customer service hours of the loan consultation corner Mt and the deposit corner Cf, which are formed by arranging two groups of counters 1 in a plan view when viewed from above, If there is a difference due to changes, for example, the customer service at the deposit corner Cf is until 3:00 pm as usual, but the customer service at the loan consultation corner Mt is extended to 5 pm or 6 pm After 3pm, customers coming from the entrance En must be able to enter the loan consultation corner Mt via the ATM corner At.

  For this reason, if the shutter Sh, which was previously taken down, is left in order to partition the ATM corner At so as to be independent of the other business room space Gs, customers who enter the store will of course visit the visitor space Vs. It is inconvenient because all the business room space Gs can be overlooked, and the workers who work inside the space Gs are exposed to visitors both visually and physically. This is as described above.

  Therefore, in the present invention, a blindfolding device BL that can cover the entire front width of the counter 1 is installed in front of the counter 1 of the deposit corner Cf in FIG. 6 and the screen member 6 is lowered, and on the left side of the device BL. Partitions Pa1 and Pa2 with partitions or partitions are set up in a substantially flat shape between the deposit corner Cf and the loan consultation corner Mt and behind the consultation corner Mt, and the loan consultation corner Mt The inside of the business room space Gs other than the above is visually and physically blocked from the visitor space Vs side. In the present invention, the partition Pa1 may be replaced by a horizontal roll screen (not shown) or the like installed on the column 4 of the portal frame F. Further, the partition Pa1 may be replaced with another portal frame (not shown) connected to the column 4 of the portal frame F. The articulated gate type frame is rational because the column 4 can be shared with the front gate type frame F. Furthermore, depending on the layout of other counters adjacent to the counter, the gate-shaped frame of the blindfold device of the present invention may be formed and arranged so as to have a substantially concave shape in plan view.

  As a result, the visitor space Vs including the ATM corner At, the loan consultation corner Mt, and the reception room Rs, where visitors can enter for so-called overtime work, can enter and exit from the entrance En, while the business room space Gs. Is formed as a space that is visually and physically blocked from the visitor by the blindfolder BL and the partitions Pa1 and Pa2, and the state can be secured. In normal business hours, if the screen member 6 of the blindfolder BL installed in front of the customer service counter 1 at the deposit corner Gf is raised, the counter 1 of the visitor space Vs and the deposit corner Cf will be as usual. Because it is open, you can perform customer service as usual.

Next, an example of a specific configuration of the blindfolding device BL of the present invention described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
