Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for transporting or storing valuable items such as bank notes and to a method of degrading such items.
  • bank notes To deter would-be thieves of bank notes in transit, it has become commonplace for bank notes to be stored and transported in security containers which release an indelible dye or ink onto the bank notes in the event that the security container is stolen or otherwise interfered with, to mark and stain the bank notes, thus rendering them worthless and unusable. It is almost impossible to clean bank notes which have been marked in this way, and thus they cannot easily be used in normal transactions involving a human cashier. Nevertheless, in certain situations such as the low-light environment of a nightclub criminals may successfully attempt to use bank notes stained in this way.
  • WO91/17681 relates to an apparatus for destroying the contents of a closed and preferably portable safety container upon any abusive handling thereof comprising an envelope including a detonator and a destructive material, the envelope consisting of a material which can burst and discharge said destructive material upon explosion of the detonator.
  • DE19619420 relates to a spoiling system in which components of a reactive mass are contained within two cartridges each having a piston.
  • a mixer links the cartridges on the side away from the pistons so that when the pistons are activated the contents of the cartridge are released.
  • the components of the reactive mass form a 2K-polyurethane foam and can contain a dye pigment.
  • FR2822880 relates to a case for secure storage and transportation of banknotes and documents which has pyrotechnic device to spray contents with a polymerisable substance.
  • the case has one section to contain banknotes or valuable documents, and a compartment holding a reservoir of a polymerisable substance and a system) for releasing the substance and spraying over the documents in the event of an attempted robbery so that it soaks between them by capillary action and sets to fix them in a block.
  • WO93/02435 relates to apparatus for contaminating valuables such as bank notes or other documents held in one or a plurality of containers removably mounted within a housing, by delivering contamination material into each container from a reservoir thereof via a contaminant delivery system when a valve is opened.
  • FR2866357 relates to a procedure for ensuring secure transport and storage of banknotes and documents which employs heated sulphuric acid to achieve rapid destruction in event of attempted theft.
  • the procedure in which cellulose molecules in paper are subjected to rapid dehydration and neutralisation, employs a 75 - 98 per cent concentration of sulphuric acid, heated to a temperature compatible with the desired destruction process, with the resulting energy deployed immediately inside a container in which banknotes or documents of value are being transported or an automatic machine from which they are dispensed or recycled.
  • the transport or storage container has a first compartment containing the papers and a second adjoining compartment holding one vessel with the dehydrating product and a second vessel for the exothermic chemical product, with a pyrotechnic device between them to break open the two vessels and the wall separating the compartments.
  • EP1847674 relates to an apparatus for secure storage or transport of printed items comprising a case for receiving the items which is associated with at least one reservoir containing a degradation composition for degrading the items, the reservoir being adapted to release the degradation composition on the items under the control of control means.
  • EP1589178 relates to a security device for transport and storage of printed valuables which comprises a container that includes at least one reservoir for a product that dissolves printing ink and is designed to be dispensed over the valuables, under control of a command system.

  • the apparatus comprising a compartment for receiving an item to be stored or transported, a detection system which is operative to detect interference with the apparatus and a dispensing system comprising first and second dispensing means, characterised in that the dispensing system is operative, on detection of interference with the apparatus, to dispense a first part of a degrading agent through one of the dispensing means onto the item and to dispense a second part of the degrading agent through the other of the dispensing means onto the item such that the first and second parts of the degrading agent mix with each other on the item and render the item unusable.
  • the use of separate dispensing means for the first and second parts of the degrading agent permits efficient mixing of the two parts of the degradation agent on the item, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the degrading agent in rendering the item unusable.
  • the degrading agent may comprise a two-part resin having a first part and a second part which are dispensed through the first and second dispensing means respectively.
  • the first and second parts of the two part resin mix when they come into contact with each other, causing the item to be encased in a solid resin coating which cannot easily be removed without damaging the item.
  • the two-part resin may comprise an epoxy resin.
  • the two-part resin may comprise a polyurethane resin.
  • the first and second parts of the two-part resin are preferably of a low viscosity so as to facilitate penetration of the item by the first and second parts of the two-part resin.

  • ATM automated teller machine
  • the security container 10 comprises a housing 12 which may be of metal or of a suitable plastics material such as polypropylene. As is shown in Figure 2 , the security container 10 has a base portion 14 and a lid 16, which cooperate to define a compartment, shown in dashed outline at 18, for receiving an item or items to be transported or stored.
  • the base portion 14 and the lid 16 are attached to each other by a hinge 20 positioned at one end of the security container 10, such that the security container 10 can be opened and closed.
  • a handle portion 22 is provided at an opposed end of the security container 10 to the hinge 20 to facilitate handling and carrying of the security container 10.
  • One or more locking mechanisms 24 are provided on or close to the handle portion 22 to secure the base portion 14 to the lid 16 to impede opening of the security container 10.
  • the locking mechanism 24 may take a variety of forms.
  • the locking mechanism may be a physical lock which is operated by a key, or may be an electronically controlled lock requiring an alphanumeric combination to be entered or an electronic key such as an electronic tag to be presented to a detector of the locking mechanism 24 to activate or deactivate the locking mechanism 24.
  • the security container 10 includes a security system, indicated generally at 26 in Figures 1 and 2 , which is operative to cause a degrading agent to be deployed in the event of the theft of the security container 10 or other unauthorised interference with the security container 10.
  • the security system 26 includes a theft or interference detection system, which is shown schematically at 28 in Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the theft or interference detection system 28 may be operative, for example, to detect particular movements of the security container 10 and to activate a degrading agent dispensing mechanism 30 of the security container 10 in the event that a theft or other interference is detected.
  • the theft or interference detection system 28 may be operative to activate the degrading agent dispensing system 30 in the event that a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the security container 10 was removed from a docking station. It will be appreciated that these are merely examples of suitable theft or interference detection systems, and a variety of other suitable systems are known to those skilled in the art, and that any suitable theft or interference detection system 28 could be used in the security container 10.
  • An exemplary degrading agent dispensing mechanism 30 is illustrated schematically in Figure 3 , and comprises a reservoir 32 for holding the degrading agent, which in this example is a fluid.
  • the reservoir is in fluid communication with a pressure valve 34, which in turn communicates with a conduit 36 which extends into the compartment 18 of the security container 10.
  • the conduit 36 terminates in a spray head 38 which ensures that on activation of the degrading agent distribution mechanism 30 the degrading agent is dispensed over a large area within the compartment 18, to ensure that any item contained within the compartment 18 is struck by the degrading agent and will thus deteriorate as the degrading agent comes into contact with elements or features of the item.
  • the degrading agent dispensing mechanism 30 further comprises a canister 40 containing pressurised gas such as carbon dioxide.
  • the canister 40 has an outlet which is connected to an electrically operated actuator 42, which permits fluid communication between the canister 40 and the reservoir 32.
  • the electrically operated actuator 42 is controlled by the theft or interference detection system 28.
  • the reservoir 32 contains acetone in liquid form. On contact of the acetone with certain features of the bank notes, those features undergo a deterioration, thus rendering the bank notes worthless and unusable.
  • a bank note is shown generally at 50, and comprises a sheet 52 of material such as paper, a paper-cloth mix or a polymer material.
  • a design is printed on the bank note 50, which may also incorporate a number of anti-counterfeiting or security features.
  • the bank note 50 may include a metallic strip 54 woven into the bank note 50.
  • the bank note may also have a metallic hologram 56 or other metallic anti-counterfeiting device on one or both sides, and a watermark 58 may also be provided.
  • security labels formed of metallic or polymeric crystalline structures
  • security elements comprising photonic crystals
  • embossed optically refractive elements and the like may also be incorporated in the bank note 50.
  • the metallic strip 54 and the metallic hologram 56 undergo a deterioration, being corroded or partially or wholly dissolved by the acetone.
  • the degrading agent dispensing mechanism 30 of the security container 10 is activated a bank note 50 contained within the compartment will be degraded and rendered worthless and unusable.
  • the deterioration of the metallic strip 54 and the metallic hologram 56 is also immediately visible, thus providing a visual indication that the bank note 50 has been involved in an incident such as a theft.
  • certain bank notes 50 such as polymer bank notes are printed using ink which is soluble in acetone.
  • ink which is soluble in acetone.
  • acetone is merely an example of a suitable degrading agent, and alternative degrading agents which have the effect of causing a deterioration of one or more features of the bank note 50, such as the corrosion or partial dissolution of metallic elements and/or complete or partial dissolution of ink used to print the bank note 50, could equally be used.
  • an alternative degrading agent such as a bleaching agent may be used.
  • the degrading agent causes the ink used to print the bank note 50 to change colour.
  • an appropriate degrading agent may be employed such that on activation of the theft or interference detection system 28 the degrading agent causes deterioration of one or more features of the bank note 50 by causing the feature(s) to become discoloured or to change colour entirely.
  • a degrading agent may be a chemical agent which reacts with the metallic strip 54 and/or the metallic hologram 56 to cause the metallic strip 54 and/or the metallic hologram 56 to change from a metallic silver colour to another colour.
  • an acidic degrading agent may be used to cause deterioration of features of a bank note 50 stored in the compartment 18 of the security container 10 in the event of a theft or other incident involving the security container, by dissolving, corroding, discolouring or otherwise causing deterioration of features such as the metallic strip 54, the metallic hologram 56 and/or the ink used to print the bank note 50.
  • the degrading agent may interact with the material of the bank note 50 to cause the bank note 50 itself to deteriorate by deforming, for example by shrinking, or to deteriorate by becoming inflexible, brittle or rigid or by affecting the physical properties of the bank note 50 in any other way which renders the bank note 50 worthless and unusable.
  • the degrading agent may react chemically with one or more features of the bank note 50, or the interaction between the degrading agent and the bank note 50 may be a physical interaction which causes deterioration of one or more of the features of the bank note 50.
  • the degrading agent may be selected to degrade other security features such as those described above. For example, if a security feature including a metallic crystal structure is incorporated in the bank note 50, a degrading agent which causes partial or complete dissolution of the metallic crystal structure may be used.
  • degrading agents are suitable for use in the apparatus and method of the present invention, and that the degrading agents described above are presented as examples only. Indeed, any degrading agent which has the effect of causing deterioration of a feature of the bank note 50 such as the metallic strip 54, the hologram 56, the watermark 58 or the material on which the bank note 50 is printed, whether by etching, partially or wholly dissolving, corroding, deforming or any other means can be used in the apparatus and method of the present invention, although in practice the choice of degrading agent may be restricted or limited by factors such as health and safety legislation.
  • the degrading agent may be in a two-part form comprising a priming agent and an activation agent, with the degrading agent being ineffective until the priming agent and the activation agent are mixed together.
  • Figure 5 illustrates an alternative degradation agent dispensing mechanism which is able to dispense the priming agent and the activation agent separately, such that they mix on contact with an item contained in the compartment 18 of the security container 10. This arrangement has the advantage that in the event that one of the priming agent and the activation agent is accidentally dispensed into the container the contents of the container are not spoiled.
  • the alternative degradation agent dispensing mechanism is shown generally at 60 and comprises first and second reservoirs 62, 64 for the priming agent and the activation agent respectively.
  • the first and second reservoirs communicate with respective first and second pressure valves 66, 68 which each communicate with a respective conduit 70, 72.
  • the conduits 70, 72 extend into the compartment 18 and terminate in respective spray heads 74, 76.
  • the spray heads 74, 76 may be positioned at opposed sides or ends of the compartment 18. However, it will be appreciated that any positioning of the spray heads 74, 76 which facilitates mixing of the priming agent and the activation agent may be used.
  • the degrading agent dispensing mechanism 60 further comprises first and second canisters 78, 80 containing a pressurised gas such as carbon dioxide.
  • Each of the canisters 78, 80 has an outlet which is connected to an electrically operated actuator 82, 84, which permits fluid communication between the first and second canisters 78, 80 and the first and second reservoirs 62, 64 respectively.
  • Each of the electrically operated actuators 82, 84 is controlled by the theft or interference detection system 28 such that on detection of interference with the security container 10 the electrically operated actuators 82, 84 are activated to cause the pressurised gas to enter the reservoirs 62, 64, thereby causing the priming agent and the activation agent to be dispensed via spray heads 74, 76 into the compartment 18, to cause deterioration of an item contained in the compartment 18.
  • the degrading agent comprises a two-part resin which sets into a solid block when the two parts are mixed.
  • one part (which may be a priming agent) of the two-part resin is stored in the first reservoir 62 and the other part (which may be an activation agent) is stored in the second reservoir 64 such that when the degrading agent dispensing mechanism 60 is activated the two parts of the resin are dispensed into the compartment 18, mixing to form a solid resin which encases the item stored in the compartment 18.
  • This resin coating cannot easily be removed from the item and thus renders it unusable, whilst also providing a visual and haptic indication that the item has been involved in a theft or other incident.
  • the two-part resin may be, for example, an epoxy resin or a polyurethane resin, although it will be appreciated that many other two-part resins (or indeed resins comprising more than two parts) are equally suitable.
  • the parts of the resin are preferably of a low viscosity, for example a viscosity comparable to or lower than that of water, such that they can easily be dispensed and are able quickly to penetrate items stored in the compartment 18.
  • One or both parts of the two-part resin may comprise an additional bonding agent such as a fast-acting glue.
  • additional bonding agent such as a fast-acting glue.
  • Cyanoacrylate-based glues are particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • the additional bonding agent provides an initial fast-acting bonding stage whilst the slower-acting but more permanent resin penetrates the item and cures to form a solid block in and around the item.
  • One or both of the parts of the two-part resin may also include a colouring agent such as a pigment or dye to provide a further visual indication that the item has been involved in a theft or other incident.
  • a colouring agent such as a pigment or dye to provide a further visual indication that the item has been involved in a theft or other incident.
  • the colouring agent should preferably be resistant to physical and chemical attack and should have a high colour intensity to stain the item effectively and for high visibility. Colouring agents which produce dark colours such as blue and purple are particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • degrading agent dispensing mechanism 60 described above with reference to Figure 5 is merely one example of a suitable mechanism, and that other mechanisms could be employed.
  • a degrading agent dispensing mechanism 60 may thus be installed or provided in an ATM cassette, with the ATM cassette or the ATM itself being provided with an interference detection system which is operative to trigger the degrading agent dispensing mechanism 60 in the or each ATM cassette stored in the ATM in the event that unauthorised interference with the ATM or the ATM cassette is detected.
