In a system for the automatic programmed handling of coded safety deposit boxes and other objects having book receiving members and stored in a storage room having rows of shelves, the improvement which comprises stacking means movable along said shelves for the removal and insertion of said boxes, gripping means movably mounted on said stacking means for movement in the vertical direction and on the horizontal plane for removal and insertion of said boxes, said gripping means including hook means for communication with said hook receiving means of said boxes for transporting said boxes, programming means cooperating with said stacking means and said gripping means for automatically directing said stacking means and said gripping means to desired box by way of a predetermined program, said programming means including control means for keying-in the desired box and initiating box hand-out and hand-in positions, and at least one issuing and receiving opening disposed adjoiningly in the wall of said storage room for receiving and returning said boxes, whereby upon receipt of instructions by the programming means of the desired box, the stacking means is actuated and moves automatically along the shelves to the proper position, the gripping means at the proper location engages or disengages the hook means and the hook receiving means in the box hand-out and hand-in positions and delivers or retrieves the box at the issuing and receiving openings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
In a system for the automatic programmed handling of coded safety deposit boxes and other objects having book receiving members and stored in a storage room having rows of shelves, the improvement which comprises stacking means movable along said shelves for the removal and insertion of said boxes, gripping means movably mounted on said stacking means for movement in the vertical direction and on the horizontal plane for removal and insertion of said boxes, said gripping means including hook means for communication with said hook receiving means of said boxes for transporting said boxes, programming means cooperating with said stacking means and said gripping means for automatically directing said stacking means and said gripping means to a desired box by way of a predetermined program, said programming means including control means for keying-in the desired box and initiating box hand-out and hand-in positions, transport means for transporting a handed-in deposit box to a temporary storage magazine for subsequently returning said box by means of stacking means to a storage position, and at least one issuing and receiving opening disposed adjoiningly in the wall of said storage room for receiving and returning said boxes, whereby upon receipt of instructions by the programming means of the desired box, the stacking means is actuated and moves automatically along the shelves to the proper position, the gripping means at the proper location engages or disengages the hook means and the hook receiving means in the box hand-out and hand-in positions and delivers or retrieves the box at the issuing and receiving openings.
2.
A system according to claim 1 including a time register for recording the deposit box number, date and hour of hand-out and hand-in of deposit boxes.
3.
A system according to claim 1 including a hand-out opening formed with an inner cover and an outer cover so that by coaction of the covers relative to each other a free view into the storage room is prevented in all positions
