Abstract

A drawer device. The drawer device includes a casing including a specific internal space, a unit that adopts a pulled out state by being pulled out forward from a housed state of being housed in the casing, a subunit on a front face of the unit that adopts an open state in which the unit interior is open to the outside by swinging in an opening direction, and adopts a closed state in which the unit interior is closed off from the outside by swinging in a closing direction, and a push-in restriction section that restricts movement of the unit toward the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state. The push-in restriction section may contact the casing before the subunit contacts the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state. The subunit may swing about a pivot point of a shaft provided extending left and right in the vicinity of a lower end portion on a front face side of the unit.

First claim

1 . A drawer device, comprising:
a casing including a specific internal space; a unit that adopts a pulled out state by being pulled out forward from a housed state of being housed in the casing; a subunit on a front face of the unit that adopts an open state in which the unit interior is open to the outside by swinging in an opening direction, and that adopts a closed state in which the unit interior is closed off from the outside by swinging in a closing direction; and a push-in restriction section that restricts movement of the unit toward the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state.

2 . The drawer device of claim 1 , wherein the push-in restriction section contacts the casing before the subunit contacts the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state.

3 . The drawer device of claim 2 , wherein the subunit swings about a pivot point that is a shaft provided extending left and right in the vicinity of a lower end portion at a front face side of the unit.

4 . The drawer device of claim 3 , further comprising a stay that swings the subunit in the opening direction with respect to the unit, and supports the open state, wherein the push-in restriction section is capable of moving while coupled to the stay.

5 . The drawer device of claim 4 , wherein the push-in restriction section restricts movement of the unit toward the casing when the stay is supporting the open state of the subunit, and is turned by the stay in the closed state of the subunit to release restriction of movement of the unit toward the casing.

6 . The drawer device of claim 3 , further comprising a swing restricting portion that restricts swinging of the subunit with respect to the unit in the housed state of the unit, and releases restriction of swinging of the subunit with respect to the unit in the pulled out state of the unit.

7 . The drawer device of claim 6 , wherein the swing restricting portion restricts swinging of the subunit with respect to the unit in the housed state of the unit by insertion of a rear end portion of an upper portion of the subunit at a lower side of a top plate of the casing.

8 . The drawer device of claim 3 , wherein the push-in restriction section is provided at both a left side and a right side of the unit.

9 . The drawer device of claim 2 , wherein the push-in restriction section further includes a shock absorbing member that alleviates an impact received when the push-in restriction section contacts the casing.

10 . A medium transaction device, comprising:
an upper casing including a specific interior space; a lower casing that is disposed below the upper casing and that internally stores a medium cassette that houses a paper sheet-shaped medium; a unit that adopts a pulled out state by being pulled out forward from a housed state of being housed in the upper casing; a customer interface that is provided at the unit and that receives transactions related to the medium; a subunit on a front face of the unit that adopts an open state in which the unit interior is open to the outside by swinging in an opening direction, and that adopts a closed state in which the unit interior is closed off from the outside by swinging in a closing direction; and a push-in restriction section that restricts movement of the unit toward the upper casing when the unit is moved toward the upper casing with the subunit still in the open state.
