Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an applicable vacuum security system a valise carrying case comprising in combination a microprocessor with smart card placed in the suitcase and controlling all the actions of the security system, pressure sensors inside the case, sensors temperature, humidity, electrical conductivity acceleration and radiation, a device ensuring the destruction of values, a system of locks ensuring the mechanical closing of the bag and subjected to the action of jacks tires, two cradles, one placed at the starting point for the transport of valuables, the other at the point of destination, intended to receive the suitcase in suitable accommodation during departure and upon arrival, provided with a vacuum pump, pipes tires and pneumatic connections to the suitcase, and further provided with electrical contacts providing an electronic link with the suitcase and interconnected by a modem transmission line.
  • the system according to the invention uses a combination of devices, controlled by a microprocessor placed in the case.
  • the suitcase is associated with two cradles, one at the starting point, the other at the destination point, these two cradles each comprising an order electronic, the two commands being linked together by a telephone line allowing the transmission of coded information.
  • the cradles each have a vacuum source which can be connected to the suitcase, either to ensure the vacuum in the suitcase, or to ensure the vacuum in the cylinders actuating mechanical locks. When the vacuum is made in the suitcase, it becomes impossible to open it mechanically.
  • a pressure sensor in the case transmits this information to the microprocessor that puts the value destruction device into action.
  • the vacuum closure is completed by several locks which are blocked by pneumatic cylinders. These act in the closing direction or in the direction opening depending on whether vacuum or atmospheric pressure is present in the case.
  • the suitcase has no visible closing device and cannot be open only at the place of departure or destination by placing it in the cradle.
  • the suitcase also has temperature, humidity, acceleration, electrical conductivity and radiation coupled to microprocessor. If the measurements taken by these sensors are outside of a predetermined range for a certain time, the microprocessor orders the activation of the device for destroying securities.
  • suitcase 1 is made up of two half-shells 2,3 made of metal or any other material having resistance high. The corners are reinforced by inserts with a large wear resistance.
  • the two shells 2,3 are connected by two hinges 4 but are electrically isolated from each other by nozzles (not shown) insulators placed in the hinges and by a seal 20 made of material insulator arranged between the edges of the two shells 2.3.
  • This seal 20 serves on the other hand to ensure the tightness of the bag and the conservation of the vacuum inside of the suitcase during transport, as described below.
  • the two half-shells 2,3 have a high resistance to forces intervening for the opening and resulting from the internal vacuum as well as to the forces generated by the possible activation of devices for the destruction of valuables.
  • the lower shell 3 has modular housings 7 for the values which are thus placed in front of punches 18, cutters or other destruction tools.
  • This shell 3 supports the mobile parts of the front and side latches 9 and 10 as well as the locking locks 11 of the compass hinges located at the bottom of the suitcase.
  • the various sensors a hydraulic 12 and pneumatic pressure accumulator 20, a multiple valve 13 for the pressure and vacuum flow, an electric battery and a microprocessor 21 provided with a smart card.
  • the upper shell 2 contains the lock strikes, the mechanism 22 for destroying values and possibly a indelible dyeing system of values.
  • the process of closing or opening the suitcase at the point of departure or destination has several sequences that allow to slow down enough the unwinding to allow the destruction mechanism to operate.
  • the cradles 14 each have a frame 15 into which can be slid the suitcase, a vacuum pump with a mouthpiece 16, intended to be connected to the pneumatic grip of the suitcase, and the electronic unit.
  • the suitcase 1 After entering the values into the case and closing it manually, the suitcase 1 is introduced into frame 15 where it is held in the position of operation, the mouth of the vacuum pump 16 and the pneumatic outlet of the suitcase being linked.
  • a contactor 23 secured to the cradle comes into contact with a contactor on the external surface of the case and allows to issue a coded order to the microprocessor 21 which then begins to control the closing process.
  • the vacuum pump starts and, during an adjustable period of time, empties the air contained in suitcase 1 until obtaining a vacuum at a value predetermined.
  • the multiple valve 13 is closed in order to maintain the vacuum.
  • the 9,10,11 locks are then closed by the action of a vacuum on one face of the jacks tires, ensured by passage through the multiple valve 13.
  • the other side of the pneumatic cylinders remain exposed to surrounding pressure which thus ensures the blocking of the bolts 9,10,11 in the closed position.
  • Suitcase 1 is then closed on the one hand by the internal vacuum and the pressure surrounding and, on the other hand, by the rear and side frontal locks 9,10,11 of which the control members are blocked by the same vacuum and the same pressure surrounding.
  • the microprocessor 21 then arms the destruction mechanism 8.
  • This consists of hydraulic cylinders 17 which draw their energy from a hydraulic pressure accumulator 12.
  • These jacks 17 include a cookie cutter 18 which can cut the bundles of values placed in the dwellings 7 on either side by a movement transverse to the median plane of the suitcase 1.
  • these cookie cutters 18 can cut either a corner of each bundle, ie a central part of the bundle. This cut has such a shape that it immediately allows the identification of a security having undergone the processing.
  • the microprocessor 21 controls by sensors several factors of the environment of the suitcase, that is to say the temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration and continuously compare them to values recorded when the suitcase was closed. If a measured value deviates from preset limits within fixed time limits, the microprocessor 21 starts the process of destroying values by actuating a solenoid valve cylinders 17.
  • the opening is done symmetrically to the closing operation.
  • Suitcase 1 having undergone no irregular intervention during transport is put on arrival at destination in a cradle 14 identical to that used at the start. This cradle has received by modem the code loaded in the microprocessor 21.
  • An electronic connection allows these coded opening orders to be issued to microprocessor 21 which begins to control the opening process.
  • the microprocessor 21 first disarms the destruction mechanism 8.
  • the multi-way valve 13 is actuated so as to allow the entry of air into suitcase 1.
  • this multiple valve 13 connects the rear faces of the jacks latches 9, 10, 11 to a vacuum tank 20, while the front faces are subjected to atmospheric pressure prevailing at this time in the case 1. This allows the cylinders to be removed and the latches 9, 10, 11 to be released.
  • a signal indicates the end of the operation.
  • the suitcase can be opened and values removed.
