Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remotely controllable lockable container for safekeeping articles.
  • Lockable containers of this kind are known, in particular, in the form of so-called fire-brigade key boxes which contain a master key which enables a fire brigade or other supervising authority to gain access to the associated premises in the event of a fire alarm or burglaralarm occurring.
  • Key boxes of this kind have proved necessary because fire brigades and other supervising organisations otherwise have to keep ready for use a great number of keys going far beyond that which can be reasonably managed with the amount of property to be supervised.
  • Fire-brigade key boxes are accordingly used to hold ready the necessary key or keys at the entry to a building or its grounds. Securing such keys against mis-use by break-in or loss requires effective securing means for such key boxes, however.
  • Fire brigade key boxes of known kind are accordingly already equipped with an outer door which normally can only be opened electrically and which can only be unlocked remotely, e.g. from a fire-alarm centre.
  • a key box contains a control switch which monitors the locking of its outer door and indicates when the door is opened.
  • the box may further possess monitoring devices for indicating the condition of its outer walls, thereby to secure the box against break-in without warning.
  • it must be arranged that, in the event of permissible, remote- controlled unlocking of the outer door of the box, no alarm is set off.
  • a remotely controllable, lockable container for safekeeping articles or equipment against unauthorised use comprising at least one door having a lock which can be unlocked by electrical signals to be conveyed over long-distance electrical conductors and which can be monitored via electrical signals as to its locked or unlocked state, and an electronic control device for comparing the signals in order to avoid false alarms, the control device being disposed in the container.
  • control device for comparing the electrical signals Since the control device for comparing the electrical signals is positioned in the normally locked container, the electrical conductors associated with the control device are also protected from manipulation or sabotage. Furthermore, a reduced number of electrical conductors are required, emanating from the box, because it is no longer necessary to transmit the individual monitoring signals to a remote centre to be combined and/or compared as required. Instead, it is necessary to transmit only a single alarm signal from the container to the fire-alarm or security centre and a single unlocking signal from the centre to the container for authorised opening of the container.
  • a container in accordance with the invention may perform a large number of other tasks, for example, to prevent the unauthorised use of switches or other actuating equipment.
  • the key box illustrated in the drawing and designated as a whole by the reference numeral 1 comprises a housing 2 having a door 3.
  • the basic shape of the housing 2 is particularly suitable for installation in a wall with a surrounding anchoring flange 5 projecting from its flat rear wall 4 to be embedded in the wall and a similar flange 6 surrounding the door 3, which may overlie the front surface.of the wall to provide a satisfactory seal and lie flush with the wall facing and at the same time guard the fabric of the wall adjacent the side walls of the housing, and the side walls of the housing itself, against tampering.
  • the housing walls themselves and also the outer door 3 contain narrowly spaced apart electrical conductors (not shown) for monitoring any penetration or breaking through of the walls or the door.
  • the outer door 3 has, at the inside, an electrically operable lock 7 having a bolt 8 so that the front of the key box 1 has no keyhole enabling the door lock to be picked or more readily forced.
  • the unlocking of the electrically operable lock 7 is usually signalled from a remote control centre, such as a fire-alarm centre or security centre.
  • the unlocked door can then be swung aside about a vertical axis 9 to gain access to a second, inner door 10.
  • the inner door 10 situated behind the outer door 3 is hinged to swing outwards about a horizontal, bottom axis 11, as soon as it, too, is unlocked.
  • the inner door 10 has a mechanical lock 12 which can be unlocked by means of a fire brigade master key. This master key would be designed to fit a plurality of locks 12 likely to require to be operated by the fire brigade.
  • a key 13 capable of opening all the doors of the house, becomes accessible. According to some fire insurance guidelines already in existence, such a key 13 must always be monitored for its presence in the fire brigade box.
  • such monitoring is
  • the fire brigade security box 1 being described contains various electrical monitoring and control devices such as the electrically operable lock 7, the electrical conductors monitoring the security of the housing walls and outer door and also control switches (not shown) in the door and monitoring the opening and closing of the outer door and the operation of the lock 7. To these monitoring devices for the box, which can be supplemented and extended if necessary, there must be added the monitoring of the presence of the key 13.
  • the electrical signals in total, have to be combined, compared and/or rationalized with one another. For example, when the door 3 is unlocked, it must be assured that no false alarm is set off or that no false alarm is given by the actual opening of the door. On the other hand, when the door 3 is closed prior to being locked, a combination of the door monitoring signals with the signal of the switch device 15 has to be effected to ensure that the outer door 3 cannot be locked or correctly monitored as being locked unless the correct key 13 has been inserted and the cylinder lock 14 operated. The combination, comparison and/or rationalization of the various electrical signals for the fire brigade key box could be effected in the associated fire-alarm centre.
  • the electrical conductors (not shown) carrying the signals would be taken through a cable duct 16 opening through the rearwall 4 ofthe housing 2, i.e. to the rear of, or in, the building wall.
  • the key box houses a control device 17 disposed inside the key box.
  • the control device 17 is indicated by chain lines and lies close to the rear wall 4 of the key box.
  • the control device 17 combines the electrical monitoring and control functions of the key box with one another in the required manner so that the number of electrical conductors which have to be taken out through the cable duct 16 are reduced to a minimum.
  • the arrangement of the control device in the locked key box itself also offers the greatest possible security against sabotage or manipulation, because the electrical or electronic components associated with the control and supervision of the key box themselves and also a large proportion of the associated wiring are secured in safe keeping within the box.
  • control device 17 might well become more complex for a more complex supervising task in which case greater benefits are obtained in that the control device 17 is disposed in the locked container 1 itself and so, is also secured in itself.
