Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with improvements relating to wall safes, that is safes which are adapted to be mounted in walls of premises.
  • Premises invariably comprise a number of utilities, of the kind hereinafter referred to as being of the kind specified, which are conventionally fixed in or on the walls of the premises.
  • Such fixed utilities include electrical fittings, such as electric sockets, light switches, wall mounted space heaters, extractor fans, thermostatic control units.
  • Fixed utilities include non-electrical fittings such as ventilation grills, cupboards.
  • the dummy utility may be adapted to conceal a cavity in the wall, within which the wall safe is located, removal of the dummy utility affording access to the door of the wall safe.
  • the dummy utility may afford a door of the wall safe itself, removal of the dummy utility providing access to the contents of the wall safe.
  • the dummy utility is conveniently a dummy electrical fitting, and may be a dummy power point, a dummy thermostat-ic control unit, or a dummy electric switch.
  • a wall safe a door of which comprises, or is provided by, a utility of the kind specified.
  • a wall safe in accordance with this invention may comprise basically a hole in the wall, which may be lined by a conventional wall box, to which the face plate of the utility (e.g. socket outlet) may be secured in conventional manner by screws.
  • the face plate may be removed, and valuables placed in the hole, and the face plate secured to the wall box to close the hole.
  • locking mechanism is utilised to provide additional security, and/or ease of removal for the key-holder.
  • a wall safe comprising an open-fronted box, adapted to be secured in a hole in a wall, and locking mechanism secured to the inner side of a dummy electrical fitting, the construction and arrangement being such that when said fitting is placed over the front of the box, the locking mechanism may be operated to secure the electrical fitting to the box to conceal the hole and the box.
  • the dummy electric fitting is provided by the face plate of a conventional electric socket, and advantageously the locking mechanism is adapted to be operated by the insertion of a key through one of the pin apertures of the socket.
  • This invention also provides a method of concealing a wall safe, in which a dummy utility is secured over the wall safe.
  • An open-fronted steel safe body 2 is secured in a wall cavity 4 with the lip of the body generally flush with the wall surface ( Figure 2).
  • a door of the body is in the form of a dummy double electric socket 6, adapted to be seated against the wall to cover the aperture, and locked to the safe body by locking mechanism 10, Figure 3, on the interior of the dummy socket.
  • the dummy socket is secured to the safe body, as is shown in Figure 1, the appearance provided is one of a conventional flush-mounted double electric socket.
  • the locking mechanism may be released, and the door of the safe body removed, to permit access to the interior of the safe.
  • the householder will know a supply of electricity is not available from the dummy socket.
  • the pin aperture.arrangement of the dummy socket may differ marginally from that of a real socket, to prevent a plug from being inserted therein, in an attempt to obtain a supply of electricity from the socket.
  • Such a wall safe will not raise the suspicions of a burglar, who in any event would be unlikely to attempt to open the safe by the insertion of a key or like article through one of the pin apertures of the dummy socket.
  • the dummy socket may be secured to the wall over the safe body 2 by the use of screws inserted through the conventional screw holes 18 of the electric socket, and into tapped holes, such as those shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 and indicated by the numeral 19.
  • the dummy electric socket may be so secured to the wall, removal of the socket revealing the door of a conventional wall safe.
  • an open-fronted steel safe body 2' is secured in a wall cavity 4' with the lip of the body generally flush with the wall surface (Figure 4).
  • An open-topped steel drawer 16' is secured to the dummy double electric socket 6' ( Figure 5), by the screws 18' which are normally utilised to secure the socket face plate to its wall mounting box.
  • Valuables may be placed in the drawer 16', and the drawer 16' inserted into the safe body 2', and when the dummy socket 6' engages the wall, the key 12' may be operated to cause the locking mechanism 10' to retain the drawer 16' and the face plate 6' in their closed positions.
  • a wall-mounted safe is located in a wall cavity, over which a dummy, double or triple-gang light switch is secured. Only when the switch rockers are in a specific relationship may the dummy light switch be prised from the wall to reveal the door of the wall safe, which may be opened by a key. If a wall safe of larger size is required, the dummy light switch may comprise a conventional backing plate, increasing the area which the dummy light switch is capable of enclosing.
  • a potential burglar is unlikely to attempt to operate the light switches of a domestic premises, and is more unlikely to attempt to prise the switch away from the wall in an attempt to determine whether or not the light switch is genuine.
  • a dummy thermostatic control unit of the kind conventionally utilised to control the temperature of a premises heated by central heating, is mounted on the body of a safe located in a wall cavity, locking mechanism being provided to secure the dummy unit to the safe body.
  • the control knob of the unit When the control knob of the unit is rotated to a particular temperature setting, it may be depressed, releasing the locking mechanism and allowing the control unit to open as a door to permit access to the wall safe.
  • the door of a larger wall safe is in the form of, and provides, an electrically-powered, fan-driven space heater. With the heater switched off, the heater as a whole may be swung about a concealed hinge mounting to open the wall safe.
  • a wall safe is concealed behind a dummy burglar alarm. Conveniently dummy wires are provided which will allow a burglar to "disarm" the alarm, diverting the attention of the burglar away from the fact that the alarm is in fact the door to the wall safe.
