Abstract
An automatic transaction machine has an arcuated shutter which is opened/closed with respect to an operation section where transaction data is entered. The convex-shaped surface of the shutter faces the customer. An overload detector is arranged to detect an overload imposed on the shutter during the opening/closing operation thereof. A first shutter safe driving section stops the shutter or drives it in a direction opposite to the closing direction in accordance with a detection result from the overload detector. A foreign matter detector is arranged to detect foreign matter within a space enclosed by the closed shutter and the operation section. When the foreign matter detector detects foreign matter, a second shutter safe driving section stops the shutter or drives it in a direction opposite to the closing direction. After a predetermined time interval has elapsed, the second shutter safe driving section is operated to close the shutter.
