Transport container

The invention relates to a transport container, in particular a beach bag, comprising a transport container for holding objects and valuables, a container lid and a locking device.
5

A particular problem when visiting the beach is that valuables left on the beach often have to be left unattended when swimming together, with the great risk that they can easily be stolen by unauthorized persons. To prevent theft, a person must therefore remain at the berth at all times, which can significantly impair the enjoyment of the holiday.

The object of the invention is to provide a transport container, in particular a beach bag, which can remain unobserved at a berth and which is secured against theft.

The solution to this problem is achieved in conjunction with the generic features according to the invention by the technical teaching specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Heinrich Klostermann.

^ϕ * ■*·

According to the invention, the transport container has a motion sensor with a connected signal device which, when an unauthorized person approaches, emits a warning signal that is clearly audible and/or visible, which will deter a thief from stealing the transport container. For this purpose, the transport container is preferably provided with acoustic signal transmitters in the transport container and/or in the lid, which are arranged to emit signals in all lateral directions and upwards and/or downwards. To activate this security device, the transport container is equipped with a remote locking and unlocking device that can be triggered via radio or light waves, for which a user carries a special transmitter that is consciously operated to activate it or that switches off the security device and unlocks the locking device when an authorized person approaches.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, this transmitter is designed to be absolutely waterproof, so that it can be worn on the wrist of a user, for example, when taking a bath or diving into the water.

The motion sensor is preferably housed in a mushroom-shaped structure protruding above the container lid, so that a 360° security area can be created around the transport container, the radius of which can be set by a user.

25 can be provided.

The transport container itself can be designed in different sizes as required, for example with a transport capacity of 5, 10 or 20 liters.

Heinrich Klostermann.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the lid has integrated solar cells for its power supply, which, in addition to supplying the safety device with power using batteries or rechargeable accumulators, can also be used to supply a Peltier element arranged in the transport container or in the container lid with direct current, with which cooling or, if necessary, heating of the interior of the transport container can be achieved via a thermo-electric effect.

Another advantageous embodiment of the transport container is one in which the transmitter is designed as a transponder that a user has to wear on their body, so that without any active intervention by the user, the safety device is switched off and a locking device is unlocked when the user approaches the transport container, or the transport container is locked and the safety device is activated when a person moves away from the transport container.

An embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a transport container designed as a beach bag in a three-dimensional view.

The transport container 1 essentially consists of a transport container 6, a container lid 7 and a carrying handle 5.

The transport container 6 has an interior for accommodating objects and valuables, which can have a volume of 5, 10 or 20 liters, for example. In the container lid 7, a mushroom-shaped component 8 is arranged that extends over the contour of the transport container 1, in the base of which a motion sensor 2 is arranged that can monitor an area of 360 ° around the transport container 1, with the head of the mushroom-shaped component 8 serving to limit the area to be monitored upwards. This area to be monitored can be set over a wide range, for example to a radius between 20 and 200 cm around the transport container 1.

Acoustic signaling devices 3, 4 in the form of loudspeakers or piezoelectric sound generators are integrated into the transport container 6 and/or the container lid 7 of the transport container 1, namely in several areas of the transport container 1, which are also arranged in a visually concealed manner, so that they cannot be sabotaged.

Transport containers do not only include beach bags, but also any type of transportable container, such as bags, suitcases, briefcases, travel bags, etc.
