Abstract

An improved conveyor system for a so-called drive-in bank through which cash, deposit slip or the like are safely transferred from the customer station to the teller station and vise versa is disclosed. To assure that each of customers who reach the bank is visually recognized from the teller room a plurality of vertical hollow columns at the customer station are arranged one after another in a spaced relation in the direction of reaching of customers' cars and a plurality of vertical hollow columns at the teller station are centralized in a small area adjacent to the teller room. A plurality of horizontally extending hollow beams are fixedly mounted on the top end parts of the vertical hollow columns at both the customer and teller stations in such a manner that the former are turned by a predetermined angle relative to the latter as seen from the above. A cart comprising two pairs of upper and lower plates turnably connected to one another, two upper rollers and two lower rollers serves as a carrier means for conveying a deposit box from the customer station to the teller station and vise versa while the deposit box is carried on the cart. Inner and outer endless conveyance belts are extended through the hollow framework to drive the cart while they come in frictional contact with the deposit box. The cart moves on two rails which are extended through the hollow framework.
