to exercise punishment. Numerous such facilities have already been proposed. With such facilities is the main disadvantage is that they are absolutely safe Marking of valuables does not guarantee · Hit the device according to the invention can for example on the Transport banknotes are protected by an indelible mark.

The invention is characterized by an energy storage group, which, after actuation by an actuating device, releases means for applying pressure to the substance, in order to transfer these s in a suitable manner from the memory into the associated cassette.

For this purpose, memories can be provided that are either made of relatively stiff material or else those made of soft material. The number of cassettes can correspond to that of the memory or of it to be different. The cassettes and the memory can also be arranged in any position relative to one another.

In the case of a large number of possibilities, for example a gate storage container with a pressurized energy store can be used as an energy store
standing pressure medium or ^ but an elastic organ can be used.

In the first case, suitable conduit means establish the connection between the pressure vessel and the reservoir.

Here it is possible to close the storage tanks with organs, which clear the opening when the marking fluid is pressurized.

On the top of the cassette 60 is a bar on which a perpendicular standing pin 67 is fixed with an enlarged head 68. The top wall 69 of the memory 61 is made of a thin one Sheet made of a soft and tearable fabric.

70 is a cylindrical rod, the ends of which have an enlarged diameter and which are opposite to each other on the two: is fastened to the walls of the envelope with an elastic band 71 with an eyelet, and can assume the two positions. In the rest position, which is marked in Fig. 10, the rod 70 lies between the cassette 60 and the memory 61 to the Displacement of the box 60 in the direction of the memory 61 impede. In the working position, shown in phantom in Fig. 10, the rod 70 is on the. upper wall of the box 60, in which position the elastic bands 71 are very tightly tensioned. In this position, the box is 60 by the Mechanism shown in Fig. 11 from the memory 61 kept away. There are two parts to this holding mechanism

72 and 73, which are supported on one another at 74 and which on the Shell are attached to this support point. Each part 72 and

73 has a semicircular recess 75 and 76 which are assigned to one another. Each part 72 and 73 has an upright edge which is formed in the manner of a pusher 77 and 78 at the end remote from the support. ^z know the vertically standing edges of the pieces 72 and 73, a coil spring 79 is compressed. A latch 80 is formed from an elastic thin plate, which is worked away at 81 and which with its side ends 81 which have stopped

are, overlaps the vertical edges of the pieces 72 and 73, which ensures that the compression spring 79 is always compressed. In the form of a hook, a release element 82 engages under the recess 81. If a pull is exerted on the element, the upper part of the bolt 80 is raised and leaves the two pieces 72 and 73 under the action of the spring 79, which relaxes suddenly parting. If the parts 72 and 73 protrude from one another, the head 68 of the pin of the Kaaastte 60 can pass between the recesses 75 and 76. The approach of the parts 72 and 73 by operating the trigger 77, 78 allows the two recesses 75 and 76 to come together again close around the pin 67 and under its head 68, as a result of which the box 60 is now retained in a position at the top of the casing of the device. The locking of the parts 72 and 73 in their approximated position is ensured by the bolt 80. Excessive pulling force exerted on the release element 82 causes the parts 72 and 73 to be unlocked and the cassette 60 to be released. Each of the devices according to the invention operates as follows:

In the case of the embodiment according to FIG. 1, pressing the control button 18 causes the lever 17 to pivot and in the latter Follow the release of the pipe section 15. Ih this moment is moved by the relaxation of the spring 12 of the reservoir 10 with the "under pressure" gas that its Tube 11 comes into engagement with the end piece 20 and that the internal valve the tube 11 is actuated by this end piece. The gas thus liberated passes through the sewer 19 into the housing 22 a, by means of which the gas is distributed to the reservoir 4 via the lines 23 under appropriate pressure. In order to the memory 4 come under pressure, the plugs 7 are driven out of the widened part 6 of the tube 5 and the markings liquid penetrates with force through the perforation ^ on the bottom

909838/0106

through into box 8. All valuables are stored in perfectly impregnated with liquid.

In the variant according to FIG. 2, actuation of the control button 18 causes the release of "compressed gas" from the storage container 10 and the pressurization of the memory 4 in which the gas brought in via the housing 22 and distributed. will and the reasonable Pressure received. The plugs 7 of the reservoir 4 are driven out and the marking liquid is violently demanded into the cassette 8.

The apparatus of Figure 3 operates such that the operation of the operating button 18 designate the pressurization of the memory ⁴ acts, is transmitted to the means of the housing 22 and through the lines 23, a suitable pressure of d-.EM container 10 and distributed. The increase in pressure in the stores 4 causes the marking fluid to be ejected from these stores into the interior of the cassette 8 via the lines 23 '. Each line 23 'is attached to the bottom of a reservoir 4 and opens at the level of an upper opening. the associated cassette 8.

The actuation of the push button 35 '(Fig. 5) has the approach' of the gas from the reservoir 10 to the cylinder 32, as a result of which the piston 31 is displaced and the thin-walled reservoir 24

between the plates 27 and 28 compressed. The plug 26 is driven out and the marker liquid from the 'memory 24 is pushed vigorously in the cartridge below the' disposed · ■ accumulator. ''

In the variant according to Fig. 6-8, pulling the plug ■ Pin 47, the cassette 38 free, shifts under the action of the compression springs 49 and 50 downwards, and with their pointed teeth 40 tears the membrane 37 · The cassette, then penetrates into the

909838 / 0T06

Memory 36, whose marking liquid, which is so under pressure has come, the valuables in the cassette 38 are impregnated.

In the case of the variants according to FIGS. 9 and 10, the release of the plug-in pin has or the operation of the triggering element 82 results in the release of the cassette 63 or 60, which under the action of the train of the elastic bands 56 or 71 moves downward so that the teeth of the strips 57 and 65 the top wall of the reservoir 52 or tear 61. The memory 52 will only continue to move of the cassette 53 is compressed while the cassette 60 enters the reservoir 61 after the membrane 69 ruptured has been. You market liquid from the reservoirs 52 and 61 thus comes under pressure and impregnates the valuables contained in the cassettes 53 and 60.

In comparison with the known safety devices during transport of value! The main advance of the device according to the invention is that in the event of theft, a perfect Impregnation of all valuables transported in it with the non-erasable marking liquid, which is stored in the storages 4, 36,52 or 60 is included, happens. However, in cases where the safety device is in its regular state, the valuables in the cassettes are completely separated from the marking liquid in the stores that are intended for this effect

The one intended for a non-washable marking of valuables Substance is preferably a liquid, e.g. a paint, an aggressive liquid or the like.

Numerous modifications and additions to the device described above can be carried out without deviating from the inventive idea, since the devices described are only examples.
