Abstract

Biometric security insurance for retrofitting the security of safes with mechanical key lock, mechanical or electronic combination lock or combinations thereof, to prevent access by unauthorized persons to the weapons or objects stored in the safe, by attaching a locking device before the actual lock mechanism of the safe, characterized in that a dimensionally designed base plate is connected to the vault so that the original actual lock mechanism of the vault is covered by the locking mechanism.

Description

1. General

by virtue of various incidents and offenses related to legally-owned firearms considering the federal government is currently taking action to increase safety.

There the existing stock of weapon safes is not even close to realistic Time and cost can be replaced, resulting from this the need for retrofitting options existing weapon safes with biometric fuses.

• – einfache und aufwandsarme Installation ein zusätzlicher (biometrischer) Schutzmechanismus positioniert wird, und
• – ein unautorisierter Öffnungsversuch zur völligen Verschließung des Waffentresors führt, womit ein weiterer Sicherheitsgewinn erreicht werden kann.

Compared to other vault safeties already on the market, the pattern applied for here has the advantage that it can be used by the

• - simple and low-effort installation an additional (biometric) protective mechanism is positioned, and
• - An unauthorized opening attempt leads to the complete closure of the weapon vault, whereby a further security gain can be achieved.

unauthorized Access or use attempts are thus made more difficult, and the safety factor is essential elevated.

The biometric safe deposit for retrofitting is to be designed that at the existing weapons vault only minimal structural changes be made that the already existing security level not affect, but unauthorized access to the content additionally complicate or effectively prevent. In addition, a simple and Quick removal of the system will be possible as soon as this no longer fulfill its function should.

at the same time the biometric security system must be such that: It can not be removed from the weapon safe with simple tools or can be made ineffective. The biometric safe deposit system must be such that in such an illegal or unauthorized attempt also put the safe in a state that he no longer, or only by specially trained and opened to authorized personnel can be.

2. Scope and operation

The developed biometric vault backup for retrofitting serves in existing safes of various security levels, through the installation of the locking device unauthorized access to the actual, already existing lock mechanism to prevent.

hereby the access to the weapons stored in the vault is prevented.

The Biometric security insurance for retrofitting can be done by yourself authorized person who over the necessary knowledge and technical equipment are available again residue be removed from the vault, leaving the vault without a permanent or the value reducing structural change in its original state be set back can.

Though There are already other locking systems on the market, but they follow a completely different one Function principle, and are much more complicated in their construction.

The Lock system presented here takes advantage of the stability given by the base materials to keep in closed State the functional processes of the Safe lock (open, Shut down) safe to prevent.

by virtue of stability and massive construction of the locking system can be moreover the attempt of an illegal removal of the system from the Weapon only to damage or destruction lead the actual vaulted castle and thus ensure that the weapons stored in the vault are not in unauthorized access reach.

For clarification, the functionality of the biometric safe deposit for retrofitting is explained:
First, the biometric safe deposit for retrofitting at the existing weapons vault to install. This is done by screwing, pinning, welding or special resistant bonding.

The biometric safe deposit for retrofitting is so on the existing Safe that attach it to the actual lock mechanism prevents, for example, the keyhole for the introduction of the key or the number field for entering the opening combination (for electronic castles) covers.

hereby may be an unauthorized possession of a key or a combination can not be used.

The biometric safe deposit for retrofitting consists of a mechanism, controlled by biometric and electronic elements.

After the release by the biometric vault security for retrofitting, the vault can in the usual way (electronic or mechanical combination of numbers or keys, or combination of several procedures).

any Attempts to retrofit the biometric vault security to circumvent mechanical means or violence cause thereby to that from the biometric vault security to retrofitting Foam (optionally hardening), a resin compound or adhesive adhesive compound emerges, in the actual lock mechanism entry and the actual lock mechanism thus useless and prevents access to the weapons stored in the vault.

With household Tools is not a removal of the biometric vault security for retrofitting possible, without the actual lock mechanism in this way out of action is set.

moreover Is it possible, to trigger a paint cartridge, the person who made the unauthorized access attempt permanently color coded to aid a potential prosecution.

3. Description of the device

• – eine Adapterplatte,
• – ein Sperrmechanismus,
• – ein Fingerprint-Sensor,
• – eine Stromversorgung,
• – ein Aktivator,
• – einen optionalen Versiegelungsmechanismus,
• – sowie einen (ebenfalls optionalen) Färbemechanismus.

The biometric safe deposit for retrofitting consists of the following main elements:

• An adapter plate,
• A locking mechanism,
• A fingerprint sensor,
• - a power supply,
• - an activator,
• - an optional sealing mechanism,
• - and a (also optional) staining mechanism.

The Operation and functioning of the system is as follows:

The Adapter plate, in which a massive locking mechanism for release or obstruction of the actual lock mechanism, represents the Basis of the system, and is at the same time the connection of the system with the safe. It also serves as accommodation for the others Elements of the system. This adapter plate represents the same time Connection to the safe in the ways described above dar.

Of the Locking mechanism, consisting of a lying in the adapter plate solid steel plate, steel flap or steel bars, blocks the access to the actual lock mechanism the safe.

Of the Fingerprint sensor with associated control electronics and memory is used for storage and detection of the authorized access Person or group of people.

The Power supply consists of a battery integrated in the system.

Of the Activator returns after successful identification of the stored or the Fingerprints the still blocked by means of locking mechanism access to the actual lock mechanism of the safe.

To He locks the access to the actual lock mechanism again.

Of the Sealing mechanism is also housed in the adapter plate. It consists of a reservoir for one Adhesive, resin or foam compound, and a trigger.

Of the trigger dissolves damage or force or force, leakage of the sealant out, which then penetrates into the actual lock mechanism, this permanently locked (sticking, blocking) and so out of action that he no longer opens can be.

When Basic materials for Adapter plate, locking mechanism are different qualities of Iron or steel provided, which may also be cured in certain areas.

Of the Fingerprint sensor is a biometric electronic component, The battery is a commercial product.

Of the Activator is an electromechanical structure that is electronic Release by the fingerprint sensor releases the locking mechanism or locks.

Of the optional sealing mechanism may be a fabric or a fabric combination include, by force, pressure or force is or will be released, and a foamy, glutinous or resin-like Substance in the actual lock mechanism of the vault brings.

optional can additionally a staining mechanism be integrated when triggered both the relevant vault, as well as the serving person with resistant color marked.
