Abstract

A method for securely transporting value documents and objects from a departure site to a destination site, such as, banknotes, checks or bankcards locked in a container which causes the degradation thereof by appropriate elements in case of breaking or attempted of breaking. The method makes it possible to send the value documents or objects from a sender to a consignee via at least one security guard. The value documents and objects before being taken over by the security guard are disposed by the sender inside of one or several boxes including first security elements for disclosing any breaking or attempt of breaking by a person other than the sender or the consignee by self-destruction or self-deterioration of the boxes, afterwards the boxes are positioned in the container for transferring it to the consignee by the security guard.

Description

Procédé de transport sécurisé de documents ou d'objets de valeur et caissette utilisable lors de la mise en œuvre dudit procédé A method of securely transporting documents or valuables and a box that can be used during the implementation of said method
La présente invention concerne un procédé de transport sécurisé, depuis un site de départ jusqu'à un site destinataire, de documents ou d'objets de valeur, tels que moyens de paiement, billets de banque, chèques ou cartes bancaires, enfermés dans un conteneur qui, en cas d'effraction ou de tentative d'effraction, provoque leur dégradation ou leur destruction par des moyens appropriés.The present invention relates to a secure transport method, from a site of departure to a destination site, of documents or valuables, such as payment means, banknotes, checks or bank cards, enclosed in a container which, in the event of a break-in or attempted break-in, causes their degradation or destruction by appropriate means.
Les procédés conventionnels de transport de documents ou d'objets de valeur sont basés généralement sur l'utilisation de conteneurs lourds et, donc difficilement transportables, dont l'accès est réservé aux seuls détenteurs d'une clef, à support matériel ou immatériel (tel qu'un code), le conteneur se trouvant par ailleurs dans un environnement contrôlé et sécurisé par exemple au moyen de divers blindages.Conventional methods of transporting documents or valuables are generally based on the use of heavy containers and, therefore, difficult to transport, whose access is reserved for key holders only, with material or immaterial support (such as a code), the container being otherwise in a controlled and secure environment for example by means of various shields.
Ces procédés conventionnels se sont toutefois avérés insuffisants face à des agressions savamment organisées et puissamment armées. En effet, les moyens de protection installés sur le ou les conteneurs sont susceptibles d' être forcés ou désamorcés par lesdits agresseurs sans rendre inutilisable les documents ou objets de valeur contenus à l'intérieur desdits conteneurs.These conventional methods, however, proved to be insufficient in the face of wisely organized and heavily armed attacks. Indeed, the means of protection installed on the container or containers are likely to be forced or defused by said attackers without rendering unusable documents or valuables contained within said containers.
Une solution de l'art antérieur a consisté alors à utiliser des conteneurs sécurisés dont l'ouverture ou la tentative d' ouverture par une personne non autorisée ou ne possédant pas un moyen d'ouverture adapté, de type clef ou code, déclenche un mécanisme complexe installé à l'intérieur desdits conteneurs aboutissant à la destruction ou à la détérioration des documents ou objets de valeur contenus à l'intérieur desdits conteneurs. Diverses solutions de ce type ont notamment fait l'objet d'une protection par brevet de la part de la Demanderesse, en particulier le brevet EP 188 155.A solution of the prior art was then to use secure containers whose opening or attempted opening by an unauthorized person or lacking a suitable opening means, key or code type, triggers a mechanism complex installed inside said containers resulting in the destruction or deterioration of documents or valuables contained within said containers. Various solutions of this type have in particular been subject to patent protection on the part of the Applicant, in particular patent EP 188 155.
Dans ce brevet, les documents ou objets de valeur sont contenus dans une enceinte de protection sécurisée, dont l'ouverture déclenche une charge pyrotechnique logée dans le couvercle de l'enceinte. La déflagration de ladite charge provoque alors l'ouverture de réservoirs contenus dans l'enceinte de protection, lesdits réservoirs contenant un liquide de destruction ou de marquage. Le liquide se répand alors sur les documents ou objets de valeur logés à l'intérieur de l'enceinte, les rendant ainsi inutilisables ou légalement identifiables.In this patent, the documents or valuables are contained in a secure protection enclosure, whose opening triggers a pyrotechnic charge housed in the enclosure lid. The deflagration of said charge then causes the opening of tanks contained in the protective enclosure, said tanks containing a liquid destruction or marking. The liquid then spreads over the documents or valuables housed inside the enclosure, rendering them unusable or legally identifiable.
Même si ce nouveau procédé résout le problème énoncé plus haut, il ne permet pas de garantir qu'aucun écart ne sera constaté entre ce qui a été effectivement déposé dans le conteneur et ce qui a été constaté et compté à l'ouverture du conteneur en caisse centrale. Il est ainsi fréquent que, lors d'une perte ou d'un vol, les soupçons se portent d'abord sur le convoyeur lui-même. En effet, lors d'un transfert de fonds entre un supermarché et une caisse centrale, par exemple, l'argent est habituellement disposé à l'intérieur d'un conteneur sécurisé par le personnel du supermarché, qui se charge de le fermer et de le confier au convoyeur ; le rôle de ce dernier est ensuite de transférer ledit conteneur du point de départ, correspondant généralement au supermarché, au lieu d'arrivée, correspondant généralement à la caisse centrale. Le destinataire, à savoir le personnel de la caisse centrale, est ensuite chargé d'ouvrir et de vider le conteneur, puis de comptabiliser l'argent extrait du conteneur. „ En cas d'écart entre le montant transféré par l'expéditeur et le montant constaté au comptage, il n'est pas possible de déterminer la responsabilité du convoyeur. De plus, le cas peut se produire où cet écart résulte en fait d'une erreur de comptage de l'expéditeur ou du destinataire et non d'un acte malveillant du transporteur de fonds.Although this new process solves the problem stated above, it does not guarantee that no difference will be found between what has actually been deposited in the container and what was found and counted at the opening of the container. central cash register. It is thus frequent that, during a loss or a theft, the suspicions are carried out first on the conveyor itself. When a transfer of funds between a supermarket and a central fund, for example, the money is usually placed inside a secure container by the supermarket staff, which is responsible for closing it and entrust it to the conveyor; the role of the latter is then to transfer said container from the starting point, generally corresponding to the supermarket at the place of arrival, generally corresponding to the central body. The recipient, namely the staff of the central fund, is then responsible for opening and emptying the container, then to count the money extracted from the container. "In case of discrepancy between the amount transferred by the shipper and the amount found at the count, it is not possible to determine the liability of the conveyor. In addition, the case may arise where this discrepancy results in fact from a counting error of the sender or the recipient and not from a malicious act of the fund carrier.
L'expéditeur a en charge de positionner les documents ou objets de valeur dans le conteneur et de fermer ledit conteneur avant son transfert, réalisé par le convoyeur, et il effectue, éventuellement, le travail en plusieurs étapes. En effet, celui-ci peut être amené à disposer les fonds dans le conteneur en plusieurs opérations et donc à laisser pendant un certain temps le conteneur ouvert et sans surveillance particulière au sein de l'environnement sécurisé et contrôlé, afin de regrouper la totalité des fonds à transporter. Durant ce laps de temps où l'expéditeur centralise les fonds, une tierce personne, pouvant accéder au lieu sécurisé et contrôlé, peut éventuellement dérober une partie des fonds sans que l'expéditeur puisse détecter la disparition desdits fonds à moins d'effectuer un contrôle global au dernier moment, juste avant la fermeture du conteneur.The sender is in charge of positioning the documents or valuables in the container and closing said container before its transfer, carried out by the conveyor, and it carries out, possibly, the work in several steps. Indeed, it may be necessary to dispose the funds in the container in several operations and therefore to leave the container open and unattended for a period of time in the secure and controlled environment to consolidate all funds to be transported. During this period of time when the sender centralizes the funds, a third person, who can access the secure and controlled place, may possibly steal part of the funds without the sender being able to detect the disappearance of said funds unless carrying out a control. global at the last moment, just before closing the container.
Suite au transfert du conteneur, le destinataire n'est généralement pas en mesure de restituer immédiatement ledit conteneur au convoyeur. En effet, le destinataire est le seul habilité à ouvrir le conteneur, pour ensuite en retirer les fonds et les comptabiliser avant de les disposer dans un coffre-fort. Les délais d'intervention nécessiteraient d'immobiliser inutilement le convoyeur dans le but unique de lui restituer aussitôt le conteneur. Il est donc nécessaire d'utiliser plusieurs jeux de conteneurs pour pallier cet inconvénient et pouvoir libérer le convoyeur dès le transfert opéré, celui-ci récupérant le présent conteneur lors du transfert de fond suivant.Following the transfer of the container, the recipient is generally not able to immediately return said container to the conveyor. Indeed, the recipient is the only one authorized to open the container, then remove the funds and count them before disposing in a safe. The response time would require unnecessarily immobilizing the conveyor for the sole purpose of returning the container immediately. It is therefore necessary to use several sets of containers to overcome this disadvantage and to be able to release the conveyor as soon as the transfer is made, the latter recovering the present container during the subsequent transfer of the base.
L'objet de l'invention est donc de proposer un procédé de transport sécurisé de documents ou objets de valeur ne présentant pas les inconvénients de l'art antérieur et, en particulier, permettant de garantir une inviolabilité des documents ou objets de valeur durant toutes les étapes de transfert du site de départ au site d'arrivée, toute tentative de vol desdits documents ou desdits objets de valeur étant détectable sur lesdits documents ou objets de valeur et/ou sur un moyen destiné à contenir lesdits documents ou objets de valeur lors de leur transport dans un conteneur, ledit moyen étant manipulable uniquement par l'expéditeur ou le destinataire. Un autre but de la présente invention est de permettre à l'expéditeur de préparer préalablement les documents ou objets de valeur et de les laisser dans un local sécurisé sans risque de vol, en attente de l'arrivée du convoyeur qui est muni du conteneur destiné à recevoir lesdits documents ou objets de valeur ou le moyen les contenant, puis de permettre au destinataire de restituer le conteneur au convoyeur immédiatement après son ouverture et après l'extraction des documents ou objets de valeur ou du moyen les contenant qui peuvent rester stocker provisoirement chez le destinataire sans risque d'être dérobés.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a method for the secure transport of documents or valuables that do not have the disadvantages of the prior art and, in particular, to guarantee the inviolability of documents or valuables during all periods of time. the steps of transferring the starting site to the arrival site, any attempt to steal said documents or said valuables being detectable on said documents or valuables and / or on a means for containing said documents or valuables when transport in a container, said means being manipulated only by the sender or the recipient. Another object of the present invention is to allow the sender to pre-prepare the documents or valuables and leave them in a secure place without risk of theft, waiting for the arrival of the conveyor which is provided with the container for receiving said documents or valuables or the means containing them, then to allow the recipient to return the container to the conveyor immediately after its opening and after the extraction of the documents or valuables or the medium containing them that can remain temporarily store at the recipient without risk of being stolen.
Un autre objet de l'invention est aussi de proposer un conteneur utilisable dans le cadre d'un procédé de transport sécurisé de documents ou d'objets de valeur, ledit conteneur garantissant une inviolabilité des documents ou objets de valeur, notamment en rendant détectable ou visible toute effraction ou tentative d'effraction opéré entre un site de départ et un site d' arrivée.Another object of the invention is also to propose a container that can be used in the context of a method of secure transport of documents or valuables, said container guaranteeing inviolability of documents or valuables, in particular by making it detectable or visible any break-in or attempted break-in between a starting site and an arrival site.
A cet effet, et conformément à l'invention, il est proposé un procédé de transport sécurisé, depuis un site de départ jusqu'à un site destinataire, de documents ou objets de valeur, notamment de moyens de paiement, de billets de banque, de chèques ou de cartes bancaires, enfermés dans un conteneur qui, en cas d'effraction ou de tentative d'effraction, provoque leur dégradation par des moyens appropriés, ledit procédé étant susceptible de faire transiter lesdits documents ou objets de valeur entre un expéditeur et un destinataire par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un convoyeur ; ledit procédé étant remarquable en ce que avant leur prise en charge par le convoyeur, les documents ou objets de valeur sont disposés, par l'expéditeur, à l'intérieur d'une ou plusieurs caissettes, comportant des premiers moyens de sécurisation aptes à révéler, en se détruisant ou se détériorant, toute effraction ou tentative d'effraction desdites caissettes par une personne autre que l'expéditeur ou le destinataire, lesdites caissettes étant ensuite positionnées dans le conteneur qui est transféré chez le destinataire par le convoyeur.For this purpose, and in accordance with the invention, there is provided a method of secure transport, from a starting site to a destination site, of documents or valuables, including payment means, banknotes, checks or bank cards, locked in a container which, in the event of a break-in or an attempted break-in, causes them to be damaged by appropriate means, said method being capable of passing said documents or valuables between a sender and a recipient via at least one conveyor; said method being remarkable in that before they are taken over by the conveyor, the documents or valuables are arranged, by the sender, inside one or more boxes, comprising first security means able to reveal , destroying itself or deteriorating, any break-in or attempted break-in of said boxes by a person other than the sender or the recipient, said boxes being then positioned in the container which is transferred to the addressee by the conveyor.
L'invention vise également à protéger une caissette destinée à contenir des documents ou objets de valeur, notamment des moyens de paiement, des billets de banque, des chèques ou des cartes bancaires, utilisables en particulier dans le procédé de transport sécurisé mentionné précédemment ; ladite caissette étant remarquable en ce qu'elle comprend :The invention also aims to protect a box intended to contain documents or valuables, including means of payment, banknotes, checks or bank cards, usable in particular in the secure transport method mentioned above; said box being remarkable in that it comprises:
- un corps, de préférence parallélépipédique, possédant une ouverture permettant l'insertion des documents ou objets de valeur à l'intérieur de la caissette,a body, preferably parallelepipedal, having an opening allowing the insertion of documents or valuables inside the box,
- un couvercle articulé sur l'un des bords délimitant l'ouverture du corps et susceptible d'obturer ladite ouverture, ledit couvercle étant formé au moins partiellement d'un voile brûlable, déchirable, perméable et/ou occultant,a cover hinged on one of the edges delimiting the opening of the body and capable of closing off said opening, said cover being formed at least partially of a burnable, tearable, permeable and / or occulting veil,
- des moyens de fermeture complémentaires disposés respectivement sur le couvercle et sur l'un des bords délimitant l'ouverture du corps, lesdits moyens de fermeture étant susceptibles de se détruire ou de se détériorer lors d'une effraction ou d'une tentative d'effraction de la caissette.- Complementary closure means respectively disposed on the lid and on one of the edges defining the opening of the body, said closure means being capable of destroying or deteriorating during a break-in or an attempt to burglary of the box.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre du procédé de transport sécurisé de documents ou d'objets de valeur suivant l'invention et d'un exemple possible de caissette de transport en référence aux dessins sur lesquels :Other advantages and features will emerge more clearly from the following description of the method of secure transport of documents or valuables according to the invention and of a possible example of a transport case with reference to the drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est un schéma synoptique du procédé de transport sécurisé selon l'invention,FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the secure transport method according to the invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une caissette de transport selon l'invention.- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a transport case according to the invention.
En référence à la figure 1, il est représenté schématiquement l'ensemble des étapes du procédé permettant le transfert de fonds sécurisé d'un lieu de départ, correspondant au lieu d'implantation de l'expéditeur 10, vers un lieu d'arrivée, correspondant au lieu d'implantation du destinataire 30, le transfert étant opéré par un convoyeur 20.With reference to FIG. 1, it is schematically represented all the steps of the method allowing the secure transfer of funds from a place of departure, corresponding to the location of the sender 10, to a place of arrival, corresponding to the location of the recipient 30, the transfer being operated by a conveyor 20.
Dans l'exemple représenté, l'expéditeur 10 et le - Q -In the example shown, the sender 10 and the - Q -
destinataire 30 peuvent être tout utilisateur de valeurs monétaires. En particulier, l'expéditeur 10 sera un supermarché et le destinataire 30 une banque.recipient 30 can be any user of monetary values. In particular, the sender 10 will be a supermarket and the recipient 30 a bank.
De manière à assurer une inviolabilité renforcée des fonds circulant entre l'expéditeur 10 et le destinataire 30 et à limiter le plus possible la responsabilité du convoyeur 20, les étapes du procédé doivent se succéder selon un ordre précis et ne peuvent être effectuées que par un seul utilisateur de valeurs, qu'il s'agisse de l'expéditeur 10 ou du destinataire 30.In order to ensure greater inviolability of the funds circulating between the sender 10 and the recipient 30 and to limit as much as possible the responsibility of the conveyor 20, the steps of the method must follow one another in a precise order and can only be carried out by a only user of values, whether the sender 10 or the recipient 30.
Dans une première étape 11, les valeurs monétaires 2 sont d'abord prélevées par l'expéditeur 10 dans un coffre 1 disposé sur le lieu de départ et contenant la réserve d'argent de l'expéditeur 10, et ensuite placées dans une ou plusieurs caissettes 3. Ces caissettes 3 présenteront des dimensions compatibles avec les fonds à transférer et avec l'espace intérieur de rangement d'un conteneur sécurisé 4 susceptible de loger une ou plusieurs caissettes 3. Il est d' ailleurs avantageux de prévoir autant de caissettes 1 que de valeurs monétaires 2 différentes et, ce, afin de permettre une opération de tri des valeurs monétaires 2 par l'expéditeur 10 préalablement à l'étape 11 et ainsi faciliter le comptage des valeurs monétaires 2 sur le lieu d'arrivée par le destinataire 30. Une fois la ou les caissettes 3 remplies, l'expéditeur 10 referme lors d'une seconde étape 12 la ou les caissettes 3 à l'aide de dispositifs de fermeture intégrés à la ou aux caissettes 3, lesdits dispositifs de fermeture ayant la particularité d'être indémontables sans casse. Cette caractéristique permet en particulier deIn a first step 11, the monetary values 2 are first taken by the sender 10 in a trunk 1 placed at the place of departure and containing the money reserve of the sender 10, and then placed in one or more boxes 3. These boxes 3 will have dimensions compatible with the funds to be transferred and with the interior storage space of a secure container 4 may accommodate one or more boxes 3. It is also advantageous to provide as many boxes 1 of different monetary values 2, and this, in order to allow a sorting operation of the monetary values 2 by the sender 10 prior to step 11 and thus facilitate the counting of the monetary values 2 at the place of arrival by the recipient 30. Once the box or boxes 3 filled, the sender 10 closes in a second step 12 or the boxes 3 with the closure devices integrated in the box or boxes 3 , said closure devices having the distinction of being unmountable without breaking. This characteristic makes it possible in particular
- détecter toute effraction ou tentative d'effraction d'une caissette 3 avant que l'expéditeur l'ait positionnée dans le conteneur, fourni par le convoyeur, ou encore après que le destinataire l'ait extraite du conteneur qui est restitué au convoyeur par le destinataire, celle-ci engendrant une destruction partielle ou totale des dispositifs de fermeture de la caissette 3. Il est d'ailleurs envisageable dans une variante du procédé de prévoir des moyens d' ouverture spécifiques permettant l'ouverture sans casse de ces dispositifs de fermeture, lesdits moyens d'ouverture spécifiques étant alors confiés aux seuls expéditeurs 10 et/ou destinataires 30. Lors de l'étape suivante 13 du procédé, la ou les caissettes 3 correctement refermées sont alors positionnées et enfermées dans le conteneur par l'expéditeur qui active le conteneur, le.dit conteneur étant ensuite pris en charge par le convoyeur 20 qui le transfère vers le destinataire. Dans cette étape 13, l'expéditeur 20 dispose la ou les caissettes 3 dans un ou plusieurs conteneurs sécurisés 4, lesdits conteneurs 4 étant susceptibles de provoquer une dégradation de leur contenu lors d'une effraction ou d'une tentative d'effraction. Lors de la fermeture du conteneur par l'expéditeur, celui-ci active les moyens de dégradation qui ne pourront être désactivés que par le destinataire lors de la réception des conteneurs. Il sera d'ailleurs avantageux de choisir des conteneurs 4 ayant des caractéristiques identiques ou proches de ceux décrits et revendiqués dans le brevet EP 188.155 précédemment cité. Seul le destinataire sera en principe capable d' ouvrir lesdits conteneurs 4 sans provoquer une dégradation de leur contenu. Ceci peut résulter notamment de l'utilisation de moyens d'ouverture adaptés, tels qu'une clef ou un code d'accès, détenus du seul destinataire.detecting any tampering or attempted break-in of a box 3 before the sender has positioned it in the container, supplied by the conveyor, or after the recipient has extracted it from the container which is returned to the conveyor by the recipient, the latter causing a partial or total destruction of the closure devices of the box 3. It is also possible in a variant of the method of provide specific opening means for the opening without breakage of these closure devices, said specific opening means then being entrusted to the only senders 10 and / or recipients 30. In the next step 13 of the process, the or the boxes 3 properly closed are then positioned and enclosed in the container by the sender who activates the container, the container said container being then supported by the conveyor 20 which transfers it to the recipient. In this step 13, the sender 20 disposes the box or boxes 3 in one or more secure containers 4, said containers 4 being capable of causing a degradation of their contents during a break-in or an attempted break-in. When closing the container by the sender, it activates the degradation means that can be disabled only by the recipient when receiving containers. It will also be advantageous to choose containers 4 having identical or similar characteristics to those described and claimed in the patent EP 188.155 previously cited. Only the recipient will in principle be able to open said containers 4 without causing degradation of their content. This may result in particular from the use of suitable opening means, such as a key or an access code, held by the sole recipient.
Dans une première étape 21, le convoyeur 20 dispose lesdits conteneurs 4 à l'intérieur d'un véhicule de convoyage 5. Lors d'une seconde étape 22, le convoyeur 20 va donc transférer, au moyen de ce véhicule de convoyage 5, les conteneurs 4 depuis le lieu de • départ de l'expéditeur 10 jusqu'au lieu d'arrivée du destinataire 30, les lieux de départ et d' arrivée étant considérés comme des lieux sûrs dans le procédé de transport sécurisé selon l'invention.In a first step 21, the conveyor 20 disposes said containers 4 inside a conveying vehicle 5. During a second step 22, the conveyor 20 will therefore transfer, by means of this conveying vehicle 5, the containers 4 from the place of departure of the sender 10 to the place of arrival of the consignee 30, the places of departure and arrival being considered as safe places in the secure transport method according to the invention.
Dans l'étape suivante 23, le convoyeur 20 décharge le véhicule de convoyage 5 et confie le ou les conteneurs 4 au destinataire qui effectue, dans une première étape 31, la _ Q _In the next step 23, the conveyor 20 discharges the conveying vehicle 5 and entrusts the container or containers 4 to the recipient who performs, in a first step 31, the _ Q _
désactivation et l'ouverture desdits conteneurs 4 pour en retirer les caissettes 3 et les contrôler, au cas où une tierce personne, et en particulier le convoyeur, aurait obtenu frauduleusement les codes d'accès au conteneur. Les caissettes 3 sont sous la responsabilité du destinataire 30 qui peut alors facilement constater si une quelconque effraction ou tentative d'effraction s'est produite au niveau des caissettes 3 en vérifiant l'état de fermeture de chacune des caissettes 3. En cas d'effraction ou de tentative d'effraction d'une des caissettes 3, les dispositifs de fermeture de la caissette 3 concernée doivent avoir subi une contrainte mécanique ou thermique suffisante pour provoquer leur brisure partielle ou totale. Cette brisure partielle ou totale ne permet donc plus d'assurer la fermeture correcte de ladite caissette 3.deactivating and opening said containers 4 to remove the boxes 3 and control them, in case a third person, and in particular the conveyor, fraudulently obtained the access codes to the container. The boxes 3 are under the responsibility of the recipient 30 who can then easily see if any break-in or attempted break-in occurred at the boxes 3 by checking the closing state of each of the boxes 3. In case of burglary or attempted burglary of one of the boxes 3, the closing devices of the box 3 concerned must have undergone a mechanical or thermal stress sufficient to cause their partial or total break. This partial or total breaking thus no longer makes it possible to ensure the correct closure of said box 3.
Une fois ce contrôle effectué, le destinataire 30 peut restituer immédiatement les conteneurs 4 au convoyeur et se charge ensuite, lors d'une seconde étape 32, d'ouvrir les caissettes 3 soit en brisant les dispositifs de fermeture prévus à ce niveau sur les caissettes 3, soit en utilisant un moyen d'ouverture adapté, de type clé ou carte à puces s'adaptant à une serrure ou à une fente disposée sur le pourtour de la ou des caissettes 3, ou encore code d'identification, numérique ou alphanumérique, à introduire à l'aide d'un clavier inclus ou relié aux caissettes 3.Once this control has been carried out, the recipient 30 can immediately return the containers 4 to the conveyor and then, in a second step 32, he will open the boxes 3 either by breaking the closing devices provided on this level on the boxes. 3, or using a suitable opening means, key type or chip card adapted to a lock or slot disposed around the perimeter of the box or boxes 3, or identification code, numeric or alphanumeric , to be introduced using a keyboard included or connected to the boxes 3.
Il opère finalement, dans une dernière étape 33, un comptage des valeurs, monétaires 2 contenues dans les caissettes 3 et place ces valeurs monétaires 2 à l'intérieur d'un lieu de stockage 1, de type coffre ou chambre forte protégée par une porte blindée par exemple.Finally, in a final step 33, it operates to count the monetary values 2 contained in the boxes 3 and places these monetary values 2 inside a storage place 1, of the box type or vault protected by a door. shielded for example.
Du fait de ces deux moyens de sécurisation complémentaires, l'un installé sur les conteneurs 4 et l'autre sur les caissettes 3, le procédé de transport tel que décrit précédemment permet donc d'assurer une certaine inviolabilité des documents ou objets de valeur à transporter, notamment vis-à-vis de toute personne autre que l'expéditeur 10 ou le destinataire 30. En référence à la figure 2, il est par ailleurs représenté une variante possible de caissette 3 pouvant être utilisée dans un procédé de transport sécurisé de documents ou d'objets de valeur selon l'invention. Cette caissette 3 comporte essentiellement un corps 6 parallélépipédique, possédant une ouverture permettant l'insertion de valeurs à l'intérieur de la caissette 3, un couvercle 7 articulé sur l'un des bords délimitant l'ouverture du corps 6 et susceptible d'obturer ladite ouverture, ledit couvercle 7 étant formé au moins partiellement d'un voile 8 brûlable, déchirable, perméable et/ou occultant, des moyens de fermeture complémentaires disposés respectivement sur le couvercle 7 et sur l'un des bords délimitant l'ouverture du corps 6, lesdits moyens de fermeture étant susceptibles de se détruire ou de se détériorer lors d'une effraction ou d'une tentative d'effraction de la caissette 3.Because of these two additional security means, one installed on the containers 4 and the other on the boxes 3, the transport method as described above thus allows to ensure a certain inviolability of the documents or valuables to transport, in particular vis-à-vis anyone other than the sender 10 or the recipient 30. With reference to FIG. 2, there is also shown a possible variant of box 3 that can be used in a secure method of transporting documents or valuables according to the invention. This box 3 essentially comprises a parallelepiped body 6, having an opening allowing the insertion of values inside the box 3, a cover 7 articulated on one of the edges delimiting the opening of the body 6 and likely to close said opening, said cover 7 being formed at least partially of a burnable, tearable, permeable and / or occulting veil 8, complementary closure means disposed respectively on the cover 7 and on one of the edges delimiting the opening of the body 6, said closure means being capable of being destroyed or deteriorated during a break-in or attempted break-in of the box 3.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 2, ces moyens de fermeture sont constitués d'un premier élément 9 disposé en saillie sur le bord supérieur du corps 6 et d'un second élément 9' disposé en saillie sur le bord inférieur du couvercle 7 et venant jouxter le premier élément 9 tubulaire lors de la fermeture de la caissette 3, les éléments 9 et 9' comportant respectivement un espace intérieur creux à section carrée ou ronde, l'espace intérieur desdits premiers et seconds éléments 9 et 9' définissant au final un logement susceptible d'accueillir une goupille d'assemblage 9''. La goupille d'assemblage 9'' présentera notamment la particularité d'être cassable ou frangible en cas de tentative de soulèvement forcé du couvercle 7 par rapport -au corps 6 dans la position fermée de la caissette 3. Le maintien en position de la goupille d'assemblage 9'' à l'intérieur du logement défini par les premiers et seconds éléments tubulaires 9 et 9' pourra en particulier résulter d'une introduction en force de la goupille 9'' à l'intérieur du logement, le diamètre de la goupille 9' ' étant alors supérieur au diamètre du logement, ou par tout dispositif de blocage mécanique disposé à l'intérieur du logement. Il sera en outre avantageux d' affecter un numéro de série unique à chaque goupille d'assemblage 9'' et d'inscrire ce numéro sur lesdites goupilles 9'', de manière à éviter le remplacement d'une goupille 9' ' par une autre une fois la caissette 3 ouverte frauduleusement.In the example shown in FIG. 2, these closing means consist of a first element 9 projecting from the upper edge of the body 6 and a second element 9 'projecting from the lower edge of the lid 7. and adjacent the first tubular element 9 when closing the box 3, the elements 9 and 9 'respectively comprising a hollow interior space square or round section, the inner space of said first and second elements 9 and 9' defining final a housing likely to accommodate a 9 '' assembly pin. The assembly pin 9 '' will have the particular feature of being breakable or frangible in case of attempted forced lifting of the cover 7 relative to the body 6 in the closed position of the box 3. The holding in position of the pin 9 '' inside the housing defined by the first and second tubular elements 9 and 9 'may in particular result from a force introduction of the pin 9''inside the housing, the diameter of the pin 9 '' then being greater than the diameter of the housing, or by any mechanical locking device arranged at inside the dwelling. It will further be advantageous to assign a unique serial number to each assembly pin 9 '' and to write this number on said pins 9 '', so as to avoid the replacement of a pin 9 '' by a pin. other once the box 3 opened fraudulently.
D'autres moyens d'assemblage complémentaires seront évidemment envisageables à ce niveau, en particulier un verrou mécanique ou électronique disposé à cheval sur le couvercle 7 et le corps 6, des languettes disposées en saillie sur le bord supérieur du corps 6 ou sur le bord inférieur du couvercle 7 et destinées à s'encliqueter à l'intérieur de logements formant mortaises disposées sur le bord en vis-à-vis du couvercle 7 ou du corps 6, tels que décrits par exemple dans le brevet EP 557.662, ou encore tout moyen d'assemblage complémentaire assurant un assemblage indémontable sans casse.Other complementary assembly means will obviously be possible at this level, in particular a mechanical or electronic lock arranged astride the cover 7 and the body 6, tabs arranged projecting on the upper edge of the body 6 or on the edge lower of the cover 7 and intended to snap into groove housings disposed on the edge vis-à-vis the cover 7 or the body 6, as described for example in the patent EP 557.662, or any complementary assembly means ensuring an unbreakable assembly without breakage.
Le voile 8 brûlable, déchirable, perméable et/ou occultant du couvercle 7 sera par ailleurs susceptible d'être brûlé, déchiré ou pénétré par une charge pyrotechnique, un cordeau découpeur et/ou un liquide de destruction ou de marquage contenus à l'intérieur des conteneurs 4 lors d'une effraction ou d'une tentative d'effraction desdits conteneurs 4, comme mentionné dans le brevet EP 188.155, cette opération s'accompagnant d'une destruction, ou d'un marquage, partiel ou total des valeurs monétaires contenues dans la caissette 3.The burnable, tearable, permeable and / or occulting veil 8 of the lid 7 will moreover be capable of being burned, torn or penetrated by a pyrotechnic charge, a chopper cord and / or a liquid of destruction or marking contained therein containers 4 during a break-in or attempted break-in of said containers 4, as mentioned in patent EP 188.155, this operation being accompanied by a destruction, or a marking, partial or total monetary values contained in the box 3.
Enfin, il va de soi que les exemples de réalisation présentés ci-dessous ne sont nullement limitatifs et d'autres modifications ou ajouts pourront être envisagés sans- sortir du cadre de l'invention. Finally, it goes without saying that the examples of embodiment presented below are in no way limiting and other modifications or additions may be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
