Abstract

A system wherein a contractor of a rental safe-deposit box can privately obtain, handle and restore his own box in the fire-proof safe room. The system includes an automatic article retrieval and storage unit located within the safe room and having contractors' safe-deposit boxes. A plurality of private compartments for contractors' use are disposed separately from the safe room and are connected to the retrieval and storage unit by conveyor devices extending through a safe room wall opening having a fire-proof door. Each private room includes a user's data input terminal device and a handling table. A reception data input terminal is provided at a reception counter. When a contractor visits the reception counter, a reception serial number card is issued to him. The reception serial number and his box code are inputted by the reception input terminal. Thereafter, the contractor inputs his own private code and the issued reception serial number in a private compartment. When the set of his own private code inputted from the user's input terminal and the box code inputted from reception input terminal conincides wih any one of combinations of private codes and box codes registered in the system, his own rental safe-deposit box is automatically extracted onto the handling table from the safe room. Various indicators are disposed at a remote section from the private compartments for indicating undesired conditions which happen in each private compartment.
