Definitions

  • the present invention relates to safe deposit locker installations.
  • Safe deposit lockers provide an excellent facility for individual renters to safeguard their valuables.
  • the typical safe deposit installation comprises a rectangular array of individually- lockable compartments (ie lockers) located within a secure vault or strongroom.
  • the door of each locker is equipped with a lock which requires two separate keys to open it.
  • One key, (different for each locker) is issued to the respective renter, while the other key is held by the bank or other organisation which administers the installation.
  • the latter key which is generally termed the "custodian” key, may be the same for a group of lockers.
  • the advantage of this dual-key operation is, of course, that in normal operation both the respective renter and a member of the custodian organisation must be present whenever a locker is unlocked.
  • the greater measure of security against forcible entry to the lockers is provided not by the construction of the lockers themselves but by the construction of the vault or other secure area wherein the lockers are housed and to which access is normally strictly limited. If criminals are, by whatever means, able to gain access to the room where the lockers are housed then it is an easy matter, relatively speaking, to force open or penetrate the doors of typical safe deposit lockers.
  • the invention seeks to achieve increased security by providing additional elements to resist opening of the locker doors but without requiring changes in the construction of currently-produced lockers themselves, and which additional elements are of a nature to facilitate retro-fitting to existing installations.
  • additional elements should not unduly complicate the legitimate opening of any safe deposit locker in an installation but at the same time they should offer protection against opening under duress in a "hold-up" situation; it is furthermore desirable that such additional elements can be arranged to release only a limited number of lockers for opening at any one time, while the remainder of the lockers remain protected.
  • US ⁇ A ⁇ 3893740 discloses a multi-draw cabinet in which a vertical row of drawers can be locked by a bar hinged to the side of the cabinet and overlapping one side edge of the drawers, the bar including a lock for engagement with a keeper which is also mounted to the side of the cabinet.
  • the side mounting of the hinge and locking components takes up a certain part of the width of the cabinet which cannot therefore be used for drawer-storage.
  • the space requirement for these components to the side of the drawers also means that a system of this kind could not be retrofitted to a normal safe deposit locker installation where the adjacent vertical rows of lockers are butted together with no free space available between them for mounting additional hinges or locking means.
  • the locking bar in this arrangement only has to be wrenched sideways a small distance by a burglar in order to be able to open the drawers; the additional security which it provides is therefore not of a high order.
  • FR-A-557449 discloses a safe deposit cabinet which can be completely closed at the front by a hinged door.
  • the door is hinged at one side and has bolts for engagement at the opposite side of the cabinet. Again the space required at the sides of the lockers for the door hinge and bolt detentions rules out the retrofitting of such a door to a normal safe deposit installation.
  • the full width usineed door can be regarded as an excessively expensive solution to the problem of enhancing the security of the ⁇ lockers.
  • the present invention provides, in a safe deposit locker installation comprising an array of individual safe deposit lockers disposed in adjacent vertical rows, a respective vertical, penetration-resistant bar borne for movement relative to and externally of each said row of lockers, each such bar being of narrower width than the lockers in its respective row and arranged to be locked in place in a central position in front of that row so as to block the doors of the lockers in that row from opening and, when unlocked, to be displaceable from that position so as to permit the doors of the lockers in that row to be opened; and each said bar having associated with it bearing means for said movement and means for locking the bar to the array both located in spaces which are respectively above the uppermost locker and below the lowermost locker in the respective said row.
  • the centrally-placed bar in front of each row of lockers can serve effectively to resist an attack upon the lockers either by forcing the bar itself aside or by forcing the lockers open from either side.
  • it provides a more economic solution to the problem of protecting the lockers, in terms of the quantity of expensive high-strength and penetration-resistant material used, then a full-width door in front of each locker row.
  • these bars are not dependent for their mounting and locking upon the availability of space to the side of each row but rather make use of the spaces which are generally available above and/ or below the rows.
  • the bars are borne for horizontal sliding movement immediately in front of the array of lockers. In another, the bars are borne for pivotal movement about respective vertical axes.
  • the widths of said bars are so chosen in relation to the widths of the lockers which they protect that any one bar can be displaced from its locked position to unblock the doors of the lockers in the respective row while the respective neighbouring bars remain in their locked positions. In this way it can be arranged that only a limited number of lockers in any array need to be unblocked for opening at any one time.
  • the respective bars may be locked in place e.g. by means of bolts which are thrown from the upper and lower edges of the bar into fixed detentions provided respectively above and below the uppermost and lowermost lockers in the protected row, with the bolts being selectively lockable in their thrown positions by means of a suitable locking mechanism housed in the bar.
  • the bar-locking means may take, in the normal arrangement where dual-dey operation of the individual lockers is involved it is preferred that the bars cannot be unlocked by a "custodian" key (but rather by the normal renter's keys appropriate to the protected row or by separate keys issued only to the renters), to avoid that bank staff or the like can unlock the bars is placed under duress in a "hold-up” situation, or that a stolen or copied "custodian” key can be used to release the bars.
  • FIG. 1 With reference to Figure 1 there is seen part of a safe deposit locker installation including two rectangular arrays of lockers 1 disposed against adjacent walls inside a bank vault or the like secure room.
  • the lockers themselves are of purely conventional construction, with outwardly-hinging doors 21 provided with dual-key operated locks 22.
  • the lockers are disposed in adjacent vertical rows, such as those designated R,-R, o for one of the arrays in Figure 1.
  • each bar 2 is suspended at its upper end by pairs of rollers 3 (two pairs for each) which run in a track 4 fixed to a support member 5, the latter being rigidly mounted to the top of the locker array and (by means of struts 6 and 7) to the adjacent wall and ceiling of the vault.
  • the bar 2 is guided by two rollers 8 which run in a track 9 fixed to a plinth 10 which latter is rigidly mounted to the usual locker plinth 11 and to the floor of the vault.
  • each bar 2 for each vertical locker row, and each bar can be locked in place in front of a respective row so as to block the doors of the lockers in that row from opening.
  • pairs of bolts 12 and 13 ( Figure 2) can be thrown from the upper and lower ends of a lockcase 14 at the rear of each bar, into appropriately-spaced fixed detentions 15 and 16 welded into the top support member 5 and bottom plinth 10 respectively.
  • These bolts are thrown and withdrawn by an external handle 17 provided on each bar ( Figure 1) through a suitable mechanical transmission housed in the respective lockcase 14, of which many forms will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art and of which details are omitted in Figure 2.
  • This boltwork can be selectively locked in the thrown condition by a respective lock provided in each bar 2 (of which the key entrances are indicated at 18 in Figure 1).
  • each bar 2 is armoured to resist penetration by mechanical and thermal cutting tools.
  • this protection is provided by a slab 19 of security barrier material comprising a cast matrix of high thermal conductivity metal (eg aluminium) in which are embedded nuggets of very hard and refractory material (such as sintered or fused alumina), while the sides of the lockcase 14 behind this armoured layer may be protected, at least in the region of the lock, by plates of hardened steel.
  • the width of the bars 2 is slightly less than one third of the width of the individual lockers 1 so that, as shown a single bar 2 can be displaced (to either side from its blocking position to permit opening of the doors in its locker row, without requiring any displacement of the next adjacent bars. Only a strictly limited number of lockers (ie one vertical row) need therefore be unblocked at any one time in normal operation.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 there is seen part of another safe deposit locker installation including two rectangular arrays of lockers 101 disposed against adjacent walls inside a bank vault or the like secure room.
  • lockers themselves are of purely conventional construction, with outwardly-hinging doors 102 provided with dual-operation locks 103 of a known type comprising a key-operated "custodian" mechanism plus a renters' mechanism released by turning a key and entering a specified combination on three dials 104.
  • the lockers are disposed in adjacent vertical rows, such as those designated R' l ⁇ R' io for one of the arrays in Figures 3.
  • each locker array there are associated with each locker array a series of vertically-extending, hinged locking bars 105.
  • Each bar is mounted at its upper and lower ends to transverse cantilever arms 106 which are in turn pivoted by pins 107 to fixed structure above and below the uppermost and lowermost lockers 101 in the array.
  • the upper pivot pin 107 is borne in a block 108 welded to a mounting member 109 which is rigidly attached to the top of the locker array and (by means of struts 110) to the adjacent rear wall of the vault; attachment points may also be provided to the ceiling of the vault.
  • the lower pivot pin 107 is borne in a block 111 welded to a plinth 112 which is rigidly attached to the usual locker plinth 113 and to the floor of the vault.
  • each bar 105 for each vertical locker row, and each bar can be locked in place in front of a respective row so as to block the doors of the lockers in that row from opening.
  • pairs of bolts 114 and 115 ( Figure 5) can be thrown from the upper and lower ends of a lockcase 116 at the rear of each bar, into appropriately-spaced fixed detentions 117 and 118 provided in the blocks 108 and 111.
  • each bar 105 is armoured to resist penetration by mechanical and thermal cutting tools, preferably by means of a slab 121 of security barrier material comprising a cast matrix of high thermal conductivity metal in which are embedded nuggets of very hard and refractory material, while the sides of the lockcase 116 behind this armoured layer may be protected, at least in the region of the lock, by hardened plates.
  • each bar 105 The geometry of the mountings of each bar 105 is arranged so that any one bar can be unlocked and swung away from its corresponding row of lockers without disturbing the neighbouring bars; only a strictly limited number of lockers (ie one vertical row) need therefore be unblocked at any one time in normal operation.
  • each bar 2/105 requires a different key to pass its own , lock, and that the keys for this purpose are issued only to the renters of lockers in the corresponding vertical row.
  • the keys for this purpose can be additional to the normal renters' keys or the bar lock and the individual locks 22/103 for each locker in the same row can be suited such that the normal renter's key for any locker in that row will also unlock the corresponding bar 2/105.
  • each bar 2 or 105 can embody a detector device to trigger an alarm in the event of an attack on the bar.
  • the detector may comprise a cord running in a narrow tube between the slab 19/121 and the external skin of the bar, and connected to a microswitch so that if the cord is cut, or slackened due to distortion of the bar, the alarm will be triggered by the switch.
