However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be appropriately modified and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. 【0012】 [First Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 1, the furniture 180 with an authentication device includes a furniture 150 and an authentication device unit 100. The furniture 150 is provided between the outdoor and the indoor. The authentication device unit 100 is attached to the furniture 150. 【0013】 Hereinafter, the outdoor side will be referred to as "front Fr", and the indoor side will be referred to as "rear Rr". Also, the left side as viewed from the front Fr will be referred to as "left Lh", and the right side as viewed from the front Fr will be referred to as "right Rh". In the following, "front Fr" may be read as "front", "rear" may be read as "back", and "vertical direction" may be read as "predetermined direction". 【0014】 As shown in Figure 1, the joinery 150 comprises a door frame 110, a side panel 120, and a door body 130. The door body 130 is installed inside the door frame 110 so as to be openable and closable. The side panel 120 is installed inside the door frame 110 to the left Lh of the door body 130. The side panel 120 is provided with a storage compartment 127 in which a window 128 is installed. Hereinafter, the view of the joinery 150 from in front of the window 128 Fr will be referred to as the "front view". 【0015】 As shown in Figure 3, the authentication device unit 100 includes an authentication device 50, a back plate 60, and a case 70. 【0016】 As shown in Figure 6, the authentication device 50 comprises an authentication device body 30 and a back plate 40 that abuts against its rear surface. The back plate 60 abuts against the back plate 40 and protrudes to the right Rh from the authentication device 50. As shown in Figure 2, the authentication device 50 is housed inside the case 70. 【0017】 As shown in Figure 1, the authentication device body 30 is longer vertically than the window 128. The authentication device body 30 comprises an authentication device first part 31 and an authentication device second part 38 arranged vertically. Specifically, the majority of the authentication device body 30 is the authentication device first part 31, and the authentication device second part 38 is located below the authentication device first part 31. Therefore, the authentication device unit 100 is housed in the storage section 127 in such a way that, in a front view, the authentication device first part 31 is visible, but the authentication device second part 38 is not. 【0018】 As shown in Figure 2, the case 70 comprises a first case section 71 for housing the first authentication device section 31 and a second case section 78 for housing the second authentication device section 38. The first case section 71 is provided with a case window 711 to allow the first authentication device section 31 to be seen through the window 128. A flange 71p is provided in a ring shape in a front view on the portion of the first case section 71 that is located around the case window 711 and protrudes toward the opposite side of the case window 711. 【0019】 As shown in Figure 9, the backing plate 60 is mounted lower to the authentication device 50, that is, the vertical center of the backing plate 60 is closer to the second authentication device part 38 than the vertical center of the authentication device 50. More specifically, the backing plate 60 is mounted to the second authentication device part 38 such that at least a part of it is directly behind the second authentication device part 38. As a result, as shown in Figure 10, the authentication device unit 100 is configured to be able to be stored in the storage section 127 by passing it through the front of the window 128 Fr from the window 128 during installation work on the joinery 150. As shown in Figure 11, the right end of the backing plate 60 is fixed to the sleeve part 120. 【0020】 Next, a method for attaching the authentication device unit 100 to the joinery 150 shown in Figure 1 will be described. The authentication device attachment method of this embodiment includes a preparation step shown in Figure 8, a storage step shown in Figures 9 and 10, and a fixing step shown in Figure 11. In the preparation step S1, as shown in Figure 8, the joinery 150 and the authentication device unit 100 are prepared in the stage before the authentication device unit 100 is attached to the joinery 150. In the subsequent storage step S2, the authentication device unit 100 shown in Figure 9 is passed from the front Fr of the window 128 through the window 128 as shown in Figure 10 and stored in the storage section 127. In the subsequent fixing step S3, as shown in Figure 11, the right end of the backing plate 60 is fixed to the side section 120. By doing so, the joinery 180 with the authentication device shown in Figure 1 is constructed. 【0021】 Next, this embodiment will be described in more detail. 【0022】 The right end of the door body 130 shown in Figure 1 is rotatably attached to the door frame 110 via hinges or the like. An exterior handle 95 is attached to the left end of the front surface of the door body 130. An interior handle (not shown) is attached to the rear surface of the door body 130, at the part Rr behind the exterior handle 95. 【0023】 As shown in Figure 11, the sleeve section 120 comprises two front and rear surface plates 121 and 126, and two left and right vertical core members 122 and 124.

The left vertical core member 122 extends along the left side surface of the sleeve section 120. The right vertical core member 124 extends along the right side surface of the sleeve section 120. The sleeve section 120 may be a sub-door that can be opened and closed, or a fixed sleeve section that cannot be opened and closed. 【0024】 In this embodiment, the authentication device 50 shown in Figure 1 is a facial recognition device. However, it may be another authentication device such as a fingerprint recognition device. In this embodiment, when the authentication device 50 authenticates that the person standing in front of the door 150 Fr is a registered person such as a resident, the door 150 is automatically unlocked. 【0025】 As shown in Figure 3, the first authentication device part 31 protrudes forward Fr than the second authentication device part 38. For example, a camera 34 and a display 33 are provided on the front of the first authentication device part 31. 【0026】 The back plates 40 and 60 shown in Figure 6 are both metal plates. On the other hand, the case 70 is made of resin. Specifically, in this embodiment, the case 70 includes PC (polycarbonate) and ABS resin. 【0027】 As shown in Figure 4, wiring W1 is connected to the authentication device body 30. A projection 45 is provided at the lower end of the back plate 40, which protrudes forward Fr. A hole 46 is provided in the projection 45 for passing the wiring W1 through. 【0028】 As shown in Figure 3, the first case portion 71 comprises a left side portion 712, an upper portion 713, a right side portion 714, a lower portion 715, and a rear portion 716. The left side portion 712 extends along the left side of the first authentication device portion 31. The upper portion 713 extends along the upper surface of the first authentication device portion 31. The right side portion 714 extends along the right side of the first authentication device portion 31. The lower portion 715 extends along the lower surface of the first authentication device portion 31. The lower surface of the first authentication device portion 31 referred to here is the lower surface of the portion that protrudes forward Fr from the upper end of the second authentication device portion 38. The rear portion 716 extends along the rear surface of the upper part of the first authentication device portion 31. The portion enclosed by the front end of the left side portion 712, the front end of the upper portion 713, the front end of the right side portion 714, and the front end of the lower portion 715 constitutes the aforementioned case window 711. Outside of this, the aforementioned annular flange 71p, as seen in the front view, is provided. 【0029】 As shown in Figure 6, the second case portion 78 comprises a left side portion 782, a front portion 781, and a right side portion 784. The left side portion 782 extends along the left side of the second authentication device portion 38. The front portion 781 extends along the front of the second authentication device portion 38. The right side portion 784 extends along the right side of the second authentication device portion 38. 【0030】 As shown in Figure 5, the back plate 60 comprises a first back plate portion 61, a second back plate portion 62, a third back plate portion 63, and two upper and lower fourth back plate portions 64. The first back plate portion 61 is attached to the lower rear surface of the authentication device 50. More specifically, as shown in Figure 5, the first back plate portion 61 is attached to the lower rear surface of the first authentication device portion 31 and the rear surface of the second authentication device portion 38 via the back plate 40. As shown in Figure 5, this first back plate portion 61 extends along the rear surface of the authentication device 50. The second back plate portion 62 extends rearward Rr from the right end of the first back plate portion 61. The third back plate portion 63 extends rightward Rh from the rear end of the second back plate portion 62. The upper fourth back plate portion 64 extends rearward Rr from the upper right end of the third back plate portion 63. The lower back plate fourth section 64 extends posteriorly Rr from the lower right end of the back plate third section 63. 【0031】 As shown in Figure 7, two engaging recesses f1 are provided at the upper end of the rear surface of the authentication device body 30, spaced apart from each other. Two engaging claws F1 are provided at the upper end of the back plate 40 to engage with these two engaging recesses f1. Multiple projections F2 are provided on the lower part of the rear surface of the authentication device body 30, projecting to the rear Rr. Multiple holes f2a are provided in the back plate 40 through which these multiple projections F2 are inserted and to engage with these multiple projections F2. The back plate 40 is attached to the rear surface of the authentication device body 30 by the engagement of these multiple projections F2 and the multiple holes f2a, and by the engagement of the two engaging claws F1 and the two engaging recesses f1. 【0032】 As shown in Figure 7, the first part 61 of the back plate is provided with multiple holes f2b that engage with multiple protrusions F2 of the authentication device body 30. Through the engagement of these multiple protrusions F2 and multiple holes f2b, the back plate 60 is positioned relative to the rear surface of the authentication device 50, as shown in Figure 6. In this state, the authentication device 50 is housed inside the case 70. Two holes f3c are provided side by side in the vertical direction at the lower part of the rear surface portion 716 of the first part 71 of the case. 【0033】 As shown in Figure 7, the upper part of the first back plate portion 61 is provided with two upper and lower holes f3b that communicate with the two upper and lower holes f3c of the rear surface portion 716 of the first case portion 71. The lower part of the first back plate portion 61 is also provided with two upper and lower holes f3b. These two lower upper and lower holes f3b are used when the back plate 60 is made to protrude to the left Lh from the authentication device 50, the opposite of the case in this embodiment. The back plate 40 is provided with two upper and lower holes f3a that communicate with the two upper and lower holes f3b at the top of the back plate 60. These two upper and lower holes f3a of the back plate 40 are for housing the front end of the fastener F3 that is fastened to the two upper and lower holes f3b at the top of the back plate 60, and are larger than the two upper and lower holes f3b at the top of the back plate 60. 【0034】 As shown in Figure 6, the two fasteners F3, such as screws or bolts, pass through holes f3c in the rear surface portion 716 of the first case portion 71 and are fastened to holes f2b in the back plate 60, thereby fixing the back plate 60 and the case 70 to the authentication device 50, as shown in Figure 5. 【0035】 In the preparation step S1 shown in Figure 8, the wiring W2 inside the joinery 180 is connected to the wiring W1 of the authentication device 50 from the window 128. In the storage step S2, first, as shown in Figure 9, the fourth backing plate 64 and the third backing plate 63 of the authentication device unit 100 are inserted into the storage section 127 from the window 128. Then, as shown in Figure 10, the authentication device unit 100 is tilted so that the lower side is the rear Rr side and inserted into the storage section 127. After that, as shown in Figure 11, the right end of the backing plate 60 is fastened to the right vertical core material 124 of the sleeve section 120 with two fasteners F4, one above and one below. 【0036】 Specifically, as shown in Figure 7, holes f4b are provided in the upper and lower fourth sections 64 of the backing plate. As shown in Figure 11, the vertical core member 124 on the right side of the sleeve section 120 is provided with two upper and lower holes f4a that communicate with the holes f4b in the upper and lower fourth sections 64 of the backing plate. Each of these holes f4a is an elongated hole extending in the front-to-back direction. The backing plate 60 is fastened to the vertical core member 124 by fastening two fasteners F4, such as screws or bolts, through the holes f4a in the vertical core member 124 and fastening them to the holes f4b in the fourth section 64 of the backing plate. 【0037】 The configuration and effects of this embodiment are summarized below. 【0038】 As shown in Figure 1, the authentication device 50 is longer vertically than the window 128. The authentication device 50 is comprised of an authentication device first part 31 and an authentication device second part 38 arranged vertically. Therefore, the authentication device 50 is housed in the storage section 127 in such a way that the authentication device first part 31 is visible when viewed from the front, while the authentication device second part 38 is not. As a result, the appearance of the building fixture 180 with the authentication device is better when viewed from the front compared to when the entire authentication device 50 is visible. 【0039】 As shown in Figure 11, the authentication device 50 has a back plate 60 attached to it that protrudes to the right Rh from the authentication device 50. The tip of the back plate 60 is fixed to the sleeve portion 120. As a result, the authentication device unit 100 can be simply fixed inside the storage portion 127. 【0040】 As shown in Figure 9, the back plate 60 is mounted lower to the authentication device 50. Therefore, as shown in Figure 10, the authentication device unit 100 can be moved from in front of the window 128 Fr through the window 128 and stored in the storage section 127. 【0041】 As shown in Figure 2, the authentication device unit 100 includes a case 70 that houses the authentication device 50 inside. The case 70 is provided with a case window 711 that allows the first part 31 of the authentication device to be seen through the window 128. Thus, the case 70 protects the authentication device 50 while the case window 711 allows the first part 31 of the authentication device to be seen. Furthermore, a flange 71p is provided in an annular shape in a front view on the portion of the case 70 located around the case window 711, projecting toward the opposite side of the case window 711. As shown in Figure 11, this flange 71p can conceal the gap between the authentication device unit 100 and the inner surface of the window 128. 【0042】 Furthermore, when installing the authentication device unit 100 onto the joinery 150, the flange 71p prevents the authentication device unit 100 from being pushed too far into the storage compartment 127. Moreover, since the case 70 contains PC and ABS resin, there is no need to worry about the flange 71p being damaged even if the authentication device unit 100 is strongly pressed towards the rear Rr side during the installation process. 【0043】 As shown in Figure 2, the case 70 comprises a first case section 71 that houses the first authentication device section 31 and a second case section 78 that houses the second authentication device section 38. The first case section 71 protrudes forward Fr of the second authentication device section 38. By the length of this protrusion, the second authentication device section 38 can be positioned rear Rr of the window 128. As a result, the second authentication device section 38 can be efficiently housed in the storage section 127. 【0044】 As shown in Figure 6, the authentication device 50 comprises an authentication device body 30 and a back plate 40 that abuts against the rear surface of the authentication device body 30. The back plate 60 abuts against the back plate 40. Therefore, the back plate 60 can be attached to the authentication device 50 using the back plate 40. 【0045】 As shown in Figure 1, the storage compartment 127 and the window 128 are provided on the side section 120. Therefore, the authentication device 50 is attached to the side section 120. As a result, the appearance of the joinery 180 with the authentication device can be improved compared to when the authentication device 50 is attached to the door frame 110 or the door body 130. 【0046】 As shown in Figure 10, in the storage process S2, the authentication device unit 100 is moved from the front Fr of the window 128 through the window 128 and stored in the storage section 127. As shown in Figure 11, in the subsequent fixing process S3, the leading edge of the backing plate 60 is fixed to the joinery 150. From the above, the authentication device unit 100 can be easily attached to the joinery 150. 【0047】 [Other embodiments] The above embodiments can be implemented with modifications as follows, for example: The back plate 60 may protrude to the left Lh from the bottom of the authentication device 50 shown in Figure 1. 【0048】 The window 128 and authentication device unit 100 shown in Figure 1 may also be implemented in a configuration rotated 180° around the front-to-back axis. In this case, the second authentication device part 38, which is not visible in the front view, is located on the upper part of the authentication device 50. The back plate 60 protrudes to the left Lh from the upper part of the authentication device 50. In this case, the back plate 60 may also protrude to the right Rh from the upper part of the authentication device 50. 【0049】 The window 128 and authentication device unit 100 shown in Figure 1 may be implemented in a configuration rotated 90° or 270° around the front-rear axis. In this case, the second authentication device part 38, which is not visible in the front view, is located on the right or left side of the authentication device 50. The back plate 60 protrudes upward from the right side of the authentication device 50 or downward from the left side. In these embodiments, the back plate 60 may also protrude downward from the right side of the authentication device 50 or upward from the left side. In these embodiments, "left-right direction" can be read as "predetermined direction". In these embodiments, the back plate 60 may also protrude to the right Rh from the right side of the authentication device 50, or to the left Lh from the left side, i.e., to protrude in a predetermined direction. 【0050】 The window 128 and authentication device unit 100 shown in Figure 1 may be installed on the door body 130 or door frame 110. Alternatively, these windows 128 and authentication device unit 100 may be installed on the interior side of the joinery 150. 【0051】 A transparent plate, such as a glass plate or an acrylic plate, may be attached to the window 128 after the storage process S2 shown in Figure 10. Alternatively, decorative materials such as glass or tiles may be attached around the window 128 as shown in Figure 9. The authentication device unit 100 may then be installed in front of these decorative materials.
