Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for protection of valuable documents such as shares, bonds, paper money and the like, device which is constituted by a volume suitable for being closed which is distributed in at least two spaces, the first space being intended to insert the documents to be protected, while in the second space we provide means which, during an undesirable manipulation of the device, make the above documents unusable.
  • the present invention relates such a device which is mounted in the portable state or fixed in a private or public building, in a bank, in a means of transport or the like.
  • document protection device of value is known from document US-A-4,236,463.
  • This known device consists of a cassette which is distributed in at least two spaces, the first space being intended to insert the values to be protected, while the second space is completely filled with a charge non-explosive thermite which closes the first space and which, during an undesirable manipulation of the device, will heat up by chemical reaction to over 1649 ° C and will cause the carbonization of the documents in the first space.
  • the present invention relates to a device for the protection of valuable documents, more specifically a device by which these documents are rendered entirely unusable during an unwanted opening of the device or when handling the device by someone who ignores the code, and this in such a way that data defined on these documents, for example identification numbers or the like remain.
  • the means pyrotechnics that are in the second space are capsules which each include a mixture pyrotechnic, which during unwanted handling above, will ignite in order to generate a flame which pierces the documents present in the first space.
  • the device according to the present invention will be provided with at least one maze or a labyrinth along which the gases generated can escape in such a way that, in any way, flames and / or pressurized gases cannot escape of the device when security comes into action.
  • a portable case is shown 1 which is mainly constituted by a base 2 and by a cover 3 which is connected to the base 2 by means of hinges and suitable locks 4-5 not shown, and the base is provided with a handle 6.
  • This portable case 1 can be made in any whatever material.
  • the volume of portable case 1 is subdivided into three individual spaces, including a space 7 where documents can be stored in a safe place.
  • value 8 for example paper money
  • a space 9 in which is mounted the ignition and destruction mechanism by fire 10
  • a space 11 in which one or several labyrinths through which flames or gases that are released upon ignition or destruction by fire, caused by the ignition and destruction by fire 10, can relax before exit the device.
  • All the capsules 14 are electrically connected to a electronic security system which as shown in figure 7, can be constructed as follows:
  • Each capsule 14 is electrically connected to the ground which is formed in this case by the plate 12 and is connected later to an electronic switching mechanism 15 which is placed in the electrical circuit of a battery 16 which is located between the switching mechanism 15 and the plate 12, by which provision is made, in the electrical circuit aforementioned, a switch 17 which allows security under pressure.
  • the space 11 of the portable case 1 is in this case delimited by a plate 18 which forms a separation between this space 11 and space 7, which is made of metal, for example aluminum, by which, in this plate 18, facing each bundle of documents 8, more specifically in coaxial position relative to the holes 13 made in the plate 12, relatively large holes 19 are provided.
  • the space 11 is subdivided into one or more mazes or labyrinths, in this case a labyrinth 20 per capsule 14, through which these labyrinths 20 open into the atmosphere via a passage 21 which is provided for this purpose in the outer wall of space 11 and in the walls bordering on base 2 and cover 3.
  • FIG. 8 a variant of the diagram is represented according to the Figure 7, by which, in this case, we provide determined capsules 14 of a so-called device delay 22 which has the effect of forming a barrier between the ignition mechanism 23 and the mixture pyrotechnic of the capsule 14 in order to obtain a delayed ignition of the pyrotechnic mixture.
  • These time delay devices can be mutually identical or divided into groups or even be all different to get primers that go off at different times.
  • a capsule is more specifically represented 14 which is made of steel, this capsule 14 being connected via an opening 24 to the delay device 22, respectively to the ignition mechanism 23, and by which, in this capsule 14, a mixture is placed pyrotechnic which is formed by so-called pyrotechnic charges, in this case an ignition charge 25 and three fire destruction charges 26, 27 and 28 which may have an appropriate composition, the whole being closed by a small plate 29 made of a material non-flammable.
  • the pyrotechnic mixture can have any composition; only as an example, we represent in figure 10 a table of materials that can be used in any combination respecting the reports indicated to form an ignition charge 25, respectively a charge of destruction by fire 26-27-28.
  • the ignition charge may consist of magnesium, strontium peroxides and binders, while mixing pyrotechnics can consist of iron oxides, magnesium, aluminum, barium nitrate, graphite and synthetic phenolic resin.
  • the device 1 is closed so that the documents 8 are perfectly secure, switch 17 being appropriately opened when closed.
  • switch 17 at any location, for example between the base 2 and the cover 3; in one of locks 4-5; in combination with an encrypted lock; in combination with a keypad for introduction a code, or through which, at intervals regular, we must enter a code to open the switch 17.
  • Switch 17 or electronic security system can also be controlled remotely, in which case the triggering of the security system must not correspond to the closure of the portable case 1.
  • switch 17 When you want to break into a briefcase portable 1 of this type, whether by twisting the cover 3, whether by deforming locks 4 or 5, or, in the case of a keyboard by damaging this keyboard or else by entering an incorrect code, switch 17 will be closed appropriately and via the switching mechanism electronic 15, will send an order to capsules 14 by which the ignition mechanism 23 will cause the ignition charge 25 and therefore charges of destruction by fire 26-27-28, so that, through the holes 13 made in the plate 12, a flame is generated which pierces the bundles of documents 8, this flame as well as the gases generated ending in the suite in a labyrinth 20 to relax there before leave portable case 1, so that in no way so flames and / or gases under pressure cannot escape from the portable case 1.
  • the drilling thus produced of the documents 8 can cause in the bundles of documents 8, a flattened conical burn including the diameter is about 3 to 4 cm at the base and about 1 cm at the top, with a total height of at least 5 cm.
  • an electrical diagram is also represented by which is applied to specific capsules 14 a delay device 22 for the purpose of programming priming the capsules 14 so that, for example, in the example shown in Figure 8, three capsules 14 igniting together to ignite after a few seconds a second set of three capsules 14 and to ignite finally again after a few seconds a third series of capsules 14, so that the time is distributed violent inflammation.
  • the plate 12 forms a tray, so that the space 9, in which the ignition and destruction mechanism by fire 10, extends all around the space 7, except the side front where the flap 31 is located.
  • This flap 31 can be locked in the closed state by a lock 5 using an electronic key.
  • the space 11 which forms one or more labyrinths 20 is not not placed directly against the flap 31, but it is placed against the inner side at a distance from it last in roller shutter 32 which can slide over guides 33 in space 9.
  • the slats of the roller shutter 32 have double walls and made of metal, and they are provided, near a end on either side of an opening 34. This slat is split in two in its longitudinal direction by a partition 35 which is connected at one of its ends, at the end of the strip along which are arranged the openings 34, its other end remaining however a short distance from the other end of the coverslip.
  • a labyrinth 20 is formed in each lamella which the ignition gases which reach via opening 34 against the inner side have to run a long distance before reaching out of the opening 34 against the outer side of the slat in the space provided between the roller shutter 32 and the flap 31. From this space, they can, thanks to the play of the flap 31, escape in the air.
  • Successive slats of the roller shutter 32 are arranged so that the openings 34 are made in alternating on one side and the other of the roller shutter 32.
  • the safety deposit box 30 operates the same way as described above for the case portable 1.
  • roller shutter 32 By the construction of the roller shutter 32 described above, no flame and / or gas under pressure can escape from this safe 30.
