Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of security and the fight against theft, assault or break-in. It relates to a method and a device for the automatic or permanent locking or blocking of a movable member in a support frame, said device being triggered in the event of a break-in or attack.
- the invention mainly finds application in safes or vaults.
- the invention will mainly be illustrated by setting out the problem to be solved in the case of its preferred application, namely the resetting of safes or vaults during an attempted break-in.
- the doors of safes or vaults are generally shielded on the inside and outside, using steel sheets of several millimeters.
- the volume between these two sheets can be filled with steel elements of various shapes embedded in concrete.
- Such an assembly constitutes an effective protection against the fire of a cutting torch, or against an attack with a jackhammer or with the rotary perforator.
- the cleats are driven by a complicated and expensive mechanical control system. For example, for a small chest with a volume of 500 cm 3 , one can find four bolts on each vertical post, and two bolts on each horizontal line.
- the locking system may comprise two sliding tabs cooperating respectively with the two pairs of vertical bolts, and a cleat acting on the pair of upper horizontal bolts, as well as another cleat acting on the pair of lower horizontal bolts.
- informers which, when the trunk is attacked, are capable of actuating a movable element which locks the trunk in the closed position by acting for example on the lock mechanism.
- US-A 1,850,337 describes a security device applicable to a safe door.
- a gas trigger system actuates lugs allowing the door to be embedded.
- the gas is preferably the same as that used conventionally with incapacitating effects.
- This old patent (1930) describes a bolt closure system, operating under the action of a pressurized gas and mechanically controlled. Such a system only provides temporary security reinforcement, because it remains possible to return the bolt (s) to the initial position.
- the patent US-A 1 850 337 does not provide a permanent and permanent blocking.
- the detection means are not suitable for ensuring control other than mechanical of the system.
- the object of the invention is to remedy the drawbacks noted in the prior art, by proposing definitive and simple closing and locking means, which ensure permanent and permanent locking and which, in particular, make it practically impossible to open the door. a safe undergoing any attack.
- the invention relates to a method for the automatic locking of a movable member in a support frame, said method being characterized in that there are in said member means sensitive to an external action, in that 'said means are brought into contact with a pyrotechnic firing assembly acting by explosion on at least one external part of said member, which deforms under the effect of the explosion, and in that the part of the frame is arranged -support located opposite this external part to allow the embedding of the latter in the support frame once it has been deformed by the explosion.
- the invention also relates to a device for implementing the aforementioned method, said device comprising a support frame and a movable member therein, as well as means for locking said member on said support frame, said device being characterized in that said locking means comprise means arranged in said movable member and sensitive to an external action, a pyrotechnic firing assembly urged by said means in the event of external action on them and acting by explosion on at least one external part of said member, which deforms under the effect of the explosion, the part of the support frame located opposite this external part being arranged to allow the latter to be embedded in the frame -support once it has been deformed by the explosion.
- the means sensitive to an external action can be provided on the frame as well as on the movable member.
- the preferred embodiment of the invention consists in its application to locking and closing for armored doors of safes or vaults.
- the invention can however be used for locking any movable member in a support frame, as soon as this movable member and this support frame have opposite parts capable of being deformed so permanent under the effect of an explosion. This is the case in particular of all the closure systems comprising thick walls limited by steel sheets deformable by explosion.
- the invention replaces the mechanical means of the prior art by means calling upon pyrotechnic assemblies capable of producing an explosion. In the case of a safe or a strong room, a final closing of the door is thus carried out, so that even the holder of the key and of the encrypted combination can no longer open it. The only solution then remains the break-in, but this is then greatly delayed.
- the means sensitive to an external action, with which the movable member is provided, in particular the door to the safe or vault, can be produced in any way, provided that it fulfills a double function, namely detection a break-in, that is to say an involuntary action on the movable member, and secondly, to act on the pyrotechnic firing assembly capable of triggering the desired explosion.
- pyrotechnic means for example a flammable and / or explosive product, sensitive to the shock and / or friction of an attack tool or to the flame of a torch.
- Such a layer can advantageously be produced in the form of a flat sheet embedded inside the frame and / or of the movable member, for example interposed between the two concrete layers of the wall constituting the safe door or vault.
- the pyrotechnic means constitute the best energy accumulator, which makes it possible to dispense with an external source of energy as would be the case of detection means using electrical energy.
- the pyrotechnic means constitute the best energy accumulator, which makes it possible to dispense with an external source of energy as would be the case of detection means using electrical energy.
- use could also be made of other types of accumulators, for example a vacuum or pressure tank, which, in the event of piercing, causes a mechanical initiation of the detonator triggering the explosion.
- a pyrotechnic firing assembly capable of causing an explosion.
- Such an assembly comprises, in a known manner, by way of illustration, at least one detonator and detonating cord.
- at least one external part of the movable member or of the frame is deformed.
- the explosion causes an extension or a rupture of the constitutive wall of the movable member or of the frame, for example of the steel sheet of the armored door of a safe or a strong room.
- the support frame surrounding the movable member is shaped so that the external part thus deformed can be embedded, in order to achieve the final locking.
- the latter may have a groove in which the steel wall of the door is fitted. In the latter case, a continuous blocking of the door is thus carried out in its frame, which makes it unassailable other than with a torch.
- the present invention preferably involves a combination of pyrotechnic detection and explosion means to produce a security system. No such teaching can be found in general documents or patent literature relating to expansion.
- the invention in its preferred application relates to a method for re-locking a safe or the like, characterized in that, when this safe is subjected to attack, at least part of the door of the safe is automatically deformed and turned back, or vice versa, thereby creating at least one artificial bolt preventing or considerably delaying the opening of this chest.
- the aforementioned artificial bolt enters a housing formed in the wall opposite that giving rise to said bolt.
- a device for implementing the above method comprising an informing means associated with a safe and capable of operating under the effect of an attack to re-lock the safe, is characterized in that said informing means consists of a small mass of explosive housed in at least part of the safe door, preferably in the vicinity of the edge of this door.
- This device is further characterized by at least one housing provided facing the small mass of explosive, in the wall of the trunk facing the edge of the door.
- the small mass of explosive is housed in an insert which is internally integral with the door or the lock mechanism, and is preferably located in a hollow part formed in a plate or the like forming part of said part.
- the aforementioned informant means may be supplemented by another small mass of explosive associated with the plaster and / or at least one of the bolts of the lock of the boot.
- the invention also relates to a safe or a strong enclosure of any type, equipped with a device meeting one or the other of the above-mentioned characteristics.
- Fig. 1 represents a door 1 of a movable safe in a frame 2 by means of a hinge 3.
- the interior of the vault or of the safe is on the side of the hinge 3 and the exterior on the opposite side, that is to say at the bottom of FIG. 1.
- the door 1 schematically comprises steel sheets 4, inside of which is placed concrete 5.
- a pyrotechnic layer 6 for burglary detection.
- a layer of flammable product a few tenths of a mm thick consisting of black powder or equivalent, sensitive to heating (for example at temperatures of 200 ° C. or more).
- a layer of penthrite can be combined with a layer of flammable powder known as retarding powder, such as a minium-silicon layer. The function common to all of these means is to be sensitive to an external invasive action.
- Layer 6 cooperates with a pyrotechnic ignition assembly acting by explosion.
- a detonator 7 which can be constituted by a few decigrams of penthrite primed with 1 dcg of lead azide.
- This detonator is in connection with the layer 6 on the one hand, and with detonating cords 8 on the other hand.
- the cords 8 are embedded in the vicinity of the exterior steel sheet of the door. These cords are, for example, cords loaded with penthrite at a rate of 20 g / m.
- the layer 6 is put into action and the ignition is propagated via the detonator 7 to the detonating cords 8.
- the ignition takes place done almost instantly.
- the detonation of the cords 8 has the effect of inflating the steel wall 10 of the door 1, which is embedded in the groove 9 provided in the frame 2. This produces a blocking of the door 1 in the frame 2.
- a device for re-locking a safe essentially consists of a small mass of explosive or any pyrotechnic means 11 housed in the door 12 of the safe and preferably located in the vicinity of the section 13 of this door.
- a housing 15 is provided facing the small mass of explosive 11.
- the explosive 11 which will detect the attack directly or indirectly, will produce a deflagration locally deforming and driving back the edge 13 of the door 12 towards the housing 15, as shown in 16, so as to re-lock the safe.
- any means connected to the explosive 11 can be provided to cause the ignition of this explosive.
- the housing (s) 15 can be omitted in the case where the door 12 forms with the walls 14 of the safe a rebate 18 in the form of a baffle, as can be seen in FIG. 2. Indeed, if the explosive is placed at 11a in one of the interior angles of the door 12, this explosive may deform the edge 13 of the door, as shown in 16a, and, although 'there is no housing opposite the explosive 11a in the wall 14, this will be enough to prevent the pivoting of the door 12 according to arrow F.
- another small mass of explosive 11 can be provided at the level of the plaster 19 of the door 12 which supports the lock mechanism, not shown and housed in space 20.
- the action of the explosive 11 b will cause local deformation of the plaster 19, as shown in 16b.
- This deformation 16b may, for example, block the rear part of a bolt P of the lock, which bolt cannot therefore be erased from the wall 14.
- the explosive 11 is housed in an attached piece 21 and secured to the section 13 of the door 12, inside said door. More specifically, the explosive 11 is located in a hollow 22 formed in a plate or a sheet 23 integral with the part 21. Thus, the explosive 11 may cause the visible deformation at 24 and forming as before an artificial bolt penetrating the inside the housing 15 formed in the box of the safe, materialized here by the wall 14.
- a system for re-blocking a safe was made using a simple delivery of material which can be located either at the door of the safe, or at the level of the body or walls of this safe, or even at the locksmith.
