Description

Domaine techniqueTechnical area

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine général de la protection, lors de leur stockage et/ou transport, d'objets de valeur tels que, à titre non limitatif, le papier monnaie, les cartes d'identité, les permis de conduire, les cartes d'immatriculation des véhicules, les carnets de chèques, les disques d'ordinateurs, .... Elle vise plus précisément un container sécurisé (ou coffre) servant à stocker et transporter des objets de valeur disposés en vrac ou dans des sacs.The present invention relates to the general field of protection, during their storage and / or transport, of valuables such as, but not limited to, paper money, identity cards, driving licenses, vehicle registration cards, checkbooks, computer disks, .... It is more specifically a secure container (or chest) for storing and transporting valuables in bulk or in bags.

L'invention trouve une application privilégiée mais non limitative dans la protection des billets de banque.The invention finds a preferred but non-limiting application in the protection of bank notes.

Technique antérieurePrior art

Dans le domaine de la protection d'objets de valeur tels que des billets de banque (en vrac ou logés dans des sacs), on connaît déjà un container (ou coffre) que l'on peut déplacer manuellement. Ce type de container sécurisé comprend le plus souvent une ouverture pratiquée au niveau de son couvercle supérieur, cette ouverture permettant de déposer à l'intérieur du container les billets à transporter.In the field of the protection of valuables such as banknotes (in bulk or housed in bags), we already know a container (or chest) that can be moved manually. This type of secure container most often includes an opening made at its top cover, this opening for depositing inside the container tickets to transport.

Ce type de containers est de manière classique muni de dispositifs permettant, en cas de manipulation abusive, de tentative d'effraction ou de détection de vol des objets de valeurs, d'altérer au moins en partie voire de détruire ces derniers.This type of container is conventionally provided with devices for, in case of abuse, attempted burglary or theft detection of valuables, alter at least partially or even destroy them.

A cet effet, une première solution consiste à disposer à l'intérieur du container un ou plusieurs modules de maculage, chacun de ces modules se composant d'une chambre remplie de liquide d'altération, de l'encre par exemple, connectée à une rampe d'aspersion, et de moyens pour chasser le liquide d'altération de la chambre vers la rampe d'aspersion en cas d'effraction, de fracturation de l'enceinte du container ou suite à une commande à distance.For this purpose, a first solution consists in arranging inside the container one or more staining modules, each of these modules consisting of a chamber filled with alteration liquid, ink for example, connected to a spray boom, and means for flushing the alteration liquid from the chamber to the spray boom in case of break-in, fracturing of the container enclosure or following a remote control.

Bien qu'efficace, un container muni d'un tel système de maculage n'est pas pleinement satisfaisant. En particulier, compte tenu du volume interne relativement important du container sécurisé, les rampes d'aspersion ne sont pas toujours suffisantes pour maculer correctement l'ensemble des objets de valeur stockés dans le container afin de les rendre inutilisables.Although effective, a container provided with such a smearing system is not fully satisfactory. In particular, given the relatively large internal volume of the secure container, the spray bars are not always sufficient to properly stain all the valuables stored in the container to make them unusable.

On connaît également un container sécurisé muni de moyens de destruction mécanique, permettant la découpe ou la perforation, au moins partiellement, desdits documents ou objets de valeur. Les moyens de découpe ou de perforation sont montés rétractables à l'intérieur du container depuis une première position de rangement à une deuxième position de fonctionnement en cas d'alerte. Ces moyens sont disposés, par exemple, du côté opposé à l'ouverture du container. Les moyens peuvent être une lame, un poinçon, une tronçonneuse électronique, lame faisant office de guillotine, etc....Also known is a secure container provided with mechanical destruction means, for cutting or perforation, at least partially, said documents or valuables. The cutting or perforating means are retractably mounted inside the container from a first storage position to a second operating position in the event of an alert. These means are arranged, for example, on the opposite side to the opening of the container. The means may be a blade, a punch, an electronic chainsaw, blade acting as a guillotine, etc.

Là encore, bien qu'efficace, un container muni de tels moyens de destruction mécanique n'est pas pleinement satisfaisant. En effet, compte tenu du volume interne relativement important du container sécurisé, les moyens de destruction mécanique ne permettent pas toujours de détruire au moins partiellement l'ensemble des objets de valeur stockés dans le container afin de les rendre inutilisables.Again, although effective, a container provided with such means of mechanical destruction is not fully satisfactory. Indeed, given the relatively large internal volume of the secure container, the mechanical destruction means do not always destroy at least partially all the valuables stored in the container to make them unusable.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

La présente invention a donc pour but principal de pallier de tels inconvénients en proposant un container permettant d'altérer au moins en partie voire de détruire correctement et efficacement la totalité des objets de valeur stockés dans le container.The main object of the present invention is therefore to overcome such disadvantages by proposing a container which can alter at least partially or even correctly and efficiently destroy all the objects of the invention. value stored in the container.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le dispositif de positionnement comporte au moins un coussin gonflable apte à se déployer depuis une première position de rangement, dans laquelle le coussin gonflable est dégonflé, à une deuxième position de fonctionnement, dans laquelle le coussin gonflable est gonflé et déplace les objets de valeur pour les regrouper et les positionner au plus proche des moyens d'altération.According to an advantageous embodiment, the positioning device comprises at least one airbag capable of being deployed from a first storage position, in which the airbag is deflated, to a second operating position, in which the airbag is inflated. and moves the valuables to group them and position them closest to the tampering means.

Selon un mode de réalisation encore plus avantageux, le dispositif de positionnement comporte deux coussins gonflables disposés de part et d'autre des moyens d'altération.According to an even more advantageous embodiment, the positioning device comprises two airbags arranged on both sides of the alteration means.

Chaque coussin gonflable est de préférence associé à un générateur de gaz choisi parmi les trois types suivants : pyrotechnique, hybride et cold gas.Each airbag is preferably associated with a gas generator selected from the following three types: pyrotechnic, hybrid and cold gas.

De manière avantageuse, le container comporte une temporisation pour déclencher les moyens d'altération après l'activation du dispositif de positionnement.Advantageously, the container includes a timer for triggering the tampering means after activation of the positioning device.

Ces moyens d'altération sont de préférence montés rétractables depuis une première position de rangement à une deuxième position de fonctionnement dans laquelle lesdits moyens d'altération découpent ou perforent, au moins partiellement, les objets de valeur.These alteration means are preferably mounted retractable from a first storage position to a second operating position in which said tampering means at least partially cut off or perforate the valuable objects.

Lesdits moyens d'altération sont avantageusement une lame, ou un poinçon, ou une tronçonneuse électronique, ou encore une guillotine.Said alteration means are advantageously a blade, or a punch, or an electronic chainsaw, or a guillotine.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens d'altération comportent au moins un module d'aspersion d'un liquide comprenant une pluralité de buses d'aspersion d'encre connectées chacune à une chambre remplie dudit liquide et des moyens prévus pour chasser le liquide de la chambre et le diriger sous pression dans la rampe du module d'aspersion, ledit liquide étant un liquide maculant ou un liquide corrosif.According to another embodiment, the alteration means comprise at least one liquid spraying module comprising a plurality of ink spraying nozzles each connected to a chamber filled with said liquid and means designed to drive out the liquid. liquid of the chamber and direct it under pressure in the boom of the sprinkler module, said liquid being a staining liquid or a corrosive liquid.

Meilleure manière de réaliser l'invention techniqueBest way to realize the technical invention

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un container 1 pour le stockage et le transport sécurisés d'objets de valeur 2.The Figures 1 and 2 represent a container 1 for the secure storage and transport of valuables 2.

Dans la description qui va suivre, les objets de valeur 2 sont des billets de banque. Toutefois, il va de soi que lesdits objets de valeur 2 peuvent être d'un tout autre type et peuvent être, à titre non limitatif, le papier monnaie, les cartes d'identité, les permis de conduire, les cartes d'immatriculation des véhicules, les carnets de chèques, les disques d'ordinateurs, ... .In the following description, valuables 2 are banknotes. However, it goes without saying that said valuables 2 may be of a completely different type and may be, without limitation, paper money, identity cards, driving licenses, registration cards of vehicles, checkbooks, computer disks, ....

De manière classique, le container 1 comprend une enceinte 3 de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique qui se compose d'une paroi inférieure et horizontale formant fond 4, de parois latérales 5 verticales et d'une paroi supérieure et horizontale formant couvercle 6 articulé à l'une des parois latérales 5 au tour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal, ledit couvercle 6 obturant une ouverture 7 par laquelle les billets 2 sont introduis dans ladite enceinte 3.In a conventional manner, the container 1 comprises an enclosure 3 of substantially parallelepipedal shape which consists of a bottom and horizontal bottom wall 4, vertical side walls 5 and an upper and horizontal wall forming a lid 6 hinged to one lateral walls 5 around a substantially horizontal axis, said cover 6 closing an opening 7 through which the bills 2 are introduced into said enclosure 3.

Les différentes parois de l'enceinte 3 sont réalisées dans des matériaux qui garantissent la solidité et la tenue mécanique de ladite enceinte 3. Par exemple, ces parois peuvent être réalisées à partir d'une composition de fibres et de résine ou en plastique moulé ou encore en métal.The different walls of the enclosure 3 are made of materials that guarantee the strength and the mechanical strength of said enclosure 3. For example, these walls can be made from a composition of fibers and resin or molded plastic or still metal.

Bien entendu, il est possible de positionner l'ouverture 7 et le couvercle 6 de l'enceinte 3 à un autre emplacement. Par exemple, cette ouverture 7 pourrait être pratiquée dans l'une des parois latérales 5 de ladite enceinte 3.Of course, it is possible to position the opening 7 and the lid 6 of the chamber 3 at another location. For example, this opening 7 could be made in one of the side walls 5 of said enclosure 3.

Le container 1 est avantageusement apte à être déplacé manuellement au moyen d'une paire de roulettes 8 solidaires du fond 4 de l'enceinte 3 et d'une poignée 9 rétractable dans le couvercle 6 de ladite enceinte 3.The container 1 is advantageously able to be moved manually by means of a pair of rollers 8 secured to the bottom 4 of the enclosure 3 and a handle 9 retractable in the lid 6 of said enclosure 3.

Le container 1 comporte sur au moins une des faces latérales 5 de l'enceinte 3 des moyens d'altération 10 des billets 2 contenus dans ladite enceinte 3. Ces moyens d'altération 10 sont aptes à altérer au moins en partie ou à détruire lesdits billets 2 de banque.The container 1 comprises on at least one of the lateral faces 5 of the enclosure 3 means of alteration 10 of the notes 2 contained in said enclosure 3. These alteration means 10 are able to alter at least in part or to destroy said bank notes 2.

Il va de soi que les moyens d'altération 10 pourront être solidaires du fond 4 ou du couvercle 6, sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.It goes without saying that the alteration means 10 may be integral with the bottom 4 or the cover 6, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Les moyens d'altération 10 peuvent comporter au moins un module d'aspersion d'un liquide tel que, par exemple, de l'encre de maculage.The alteration means 10 may comprise at least one liquid spray module such as, for example, smear ink.

Selon cette configuration non représentée sur les figures, chaque module d'aspersion comporte une pluralité de buses d'aspersion d'encre alignées selon une rampe et connectées chacune à une chambre remplie de ladite encre de maculage. Des moyens sont également prévus pour chasser l'encre de la chambre et la diriger sous pression dans la rampe du module d'aspersion en cas de fracturation de l'enceinte 3 du container 1 ou suite à une commande à distance. Par exemple, l'encre peut être chassée de la chambre au moyen d'un piston se déplaçant dans la chambre sous l'effet d'une décharge de flux de gaz déclenchée par un générateur de gaz.According to this configuration not shown in the figures, each spray module comprises a plurality of ink spray nozzles aligned in a ramp and each connected to a chamber filled with said smear ink. Means are also provided for flushing the ink from the chamber and directing it under pressure into the boom of the spray module in the event of fracturing of the enclosure 3 of the container 1 or following a remote control. For example, the ink can be expelled from the chamber by means of a piston moving in the chamber under the effect of a gas flow discharge triggered by a gas generator.

Bien entendu, le liquide utilisé pour rendre inutilisable les billets pourra être de nature différente de l'encre de maculage décrite ici. Ainsi, on pourra utiliser un liquide corrosif, tel que de l'acide par exemple, pour détruire au moins en partie les billets contenus dans le container 1 selon l'invention.Of course, the liquid used to make the notes unusable may be different in nature from the smudge ink described herein. Thus, it will be possible to use a corrosive liquid, such as acid for example, to destroy at least part of the notes contained in the container 1 according to the invention.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, les moyens d'altération 10 des billets 2 contenus dans ladite enceinte 3 sont des moyens mécaniques de destruction et permettant avantageusement la découpe ou la perforation, au moins partiellement, desdits billets 2. Lesdits moyens d'altération 10 sont de préférence montés rétractables à l'intérieur de l'enceinte 3 du container 1 depuis une première position de rangement à une deuxième position de fonctionnement en cas de manipulation abusive, de tentative d'effraction ou de détection de vol. Ces moyens d'altération 10 peuvent être, par exemple, une lame, un poinçon, une tronçonneuse électronique, une guillotine, ou tout autre dispositif procurant les mêmes effets.In a preferred embodiment, the alteration means 10 of the notes 2 contained in said enclosure 3 are mechanical means of destruction and advantageously allowing the cutting or perforation, at the 2 said alteration means 10 are preferably mounted retractable inside the chamber 3 of the container 1 from a first storage position to a second operating position in case of improper handling, attempt burglary or theft detection. These alteration means 10 may be, for example, a blade, a punch, an electronic chainsaw, a guillotine, or any other device providing the same effects.

En référence aux figures 1 à 3, le container 1 comprend en outre un dispositif de positionnement 11 pour permettre une altération ou une destruction de l'ensemble des billets 2 contenus dans l'enceinte 3. Ce dispositif de positionnement 11 permet de regrouper lesdits billets 2 et de les positionner au plus près des moyens d'altération 10 pour garantir une altération ou une destruction de tous les billets 2 afin de les rendre inutilisables.With reference to Figures 1 to 3 , the container 1 further comprises a positioning device 11 to allow alteration or destruction of all the notes 2 contained in the enclosure 3. This positioning device 11 allows to group said notes 2 and position them at most near the tamper means 10 to ensure tampering or destruction of all the tickets 2 to make them unusable.

Le dispositif de positionnement 11 est avantageusement disposé sur la face latérale 5 opposée à celle recevant les moyens d'altération 10 et comporte au moins un coussin gonflable 12 apte à se déployer sous l'effet d'un gaz, en cas de manipulation abusive, de tentative d'effraction ou de détection de vol, depuis une première position de rangement, dans laquelle le coussin gonflable 12 est dégonflé et est situé dans un logement 13 de l'enceinte 3, à une deuxième position de fonctionnement, dans laquelle le coussin gonflable 12 est gonflé et déplace les billets 2 pour les regrouper et les positionner au plus près des moyens d'altération 10, afin que tous lesdits billets 2 soient au moins en partie altérés et donc inutilisables.The positioning device 11 is advantageously disposed on the lateral face 5 opposite to that receiving the tampering means 10 and comprises at least one airbag 12 adapted to be deployed under the effect of a gas, in case of improper handling, attempted burglary or theft detection, from a first storage position, wherein the airbag 12 is deflated and is located in a housing 13 of the chamber 3, at a second operating position, in which the cushion inflatable 12 is inflated and moves the banknotes 2 to consolidate and position them closer to the tamper means 10, so that all said banknotes 2 are at least partially altered and therefore unusable.

En référence aux figures 2 et 3, le container 1 comporte de préférence deux coussins gonflables 12, chacun étant réparti de part et d'autre des moyens d'altération 10.With reference to figures 2 and 3 , the container 1 preferably comprises two airbags 12, each being distributed on either side of the means alteration 10.

Chaque coussin gonflable 12 est associé à un générateur de gaz (non représenté sur les figures) apte à générer et injecter très rapidement du gaz dans ledit coussin gonflable 12 pour le gonfler et positionner les billets 2 à l'intérieur de l'enceinte 3Each airbag 12 is associated with a gas generator (not shown in the figures) able to generate and inject gas very quickly into said airbag 12 to inflate and position the notes 2 inside the chamber 3

Chaque générateur de gaz est déclenché par un calculateur en cas de manipulation abusive, de tentative d'effraction ou de détection de vol.Each gas generator is triggered by a computer in case of improper handling, attempted break-in or theft detection.

Le générateur de gaz est avantageusement choisi parmi les trois types suivants : pyrotechnique, hybride et cold gas (gaz froid en anglais).The gas generator is advantageously chosen from the following three types: pyrotechnic, hybrid and cold gas.

Pour une efficacité optimale, le container 1 est de préférence muni d'une temporisation pour déclencher les moyens d'altération 10 après l'activation du dispositif de positionnement 11, c'est-à-dire après que les coussins gonflables 12 aient été déployés et donc que les billets 2 soient positionnés au plus près desdits moyens d'altération 10.For optimum efficiency, the container 1 is preferably provided with a delay to trigger the tampering means 10 after the activation of the positioning device 11, that is to say after the airbags 12 have been deployed. and therefore that the notes 2 are positioned as close to said alteration means 10.

On comprend bien qu'avec un tel dispositif de positionnement 11, lorsque les coussins gonflables 12 sont gonflés grâce aux générateurs de gaz associés, les billets 2 sont regroupés et disposés au plus près des moyens d'altération 10 pour garantir que tous les billets 2 sont bien positionnés dans le champ d'action desdits moyens d'altération 10, en évitant que des billets 2 demeurent en dehors dudit champs d'action compte tenu du grand volume intérieur de l'enceinte 3 du container 1 selon l'invention.It is understood that with such a positioning device 11, when the airbags 12 are inflated with the associated gas generators, the notes 2 are grouped and arranged closer to the tamper means 10 to ensure that all the tickets 2 are well positioned in the field of action of said tampering means 10, avoiding that tickets 2 remain outside said field of action given the large internal volume of the chamber 3 of the container 1 according to the invention.

En outre, le dispositif de positionnement 11 selon l'invention permet un gain de poids non négligeable quelque soit le type de moyens d'altération 10 utilisés. En effet, dans le cas de moyens d'altération 10 comportant un module d'aspersion d'un liquide, le dispositif de positionnement 11 permet d'embarquer moins de liquide car les billets 2 sont positionnés au plus près de la rampe du module d'aspersion. De même, dans le cas de moyens d'altération 10 du type moyens mécaniques rétractables, le dispositif de positionnement 11 permet de réduire la course de déplacement desdits moyens mécaniques rétractables.In addition, the positioning device 11 according to the invention allows a significant weight gain regardless of the type of tamper means 10 used. Indeed, in the case of tamper means 10 comprising a liquid spraying module, the positioning device 11 makes it possible to ship less liquid because the banknotes 2 are positioned as close as possible to the boom of the sprinkler module. Similarly, in the case of tamper means 10 of the retractable mechanical means type, the positioning device 11 reduces the displacement stroke of said retractable mechanical means.

Possibilité d'application industriellePossibility of industrial application

Le container 1 selon l'invention s'applique plus particulièrement à la protection des billets de banque, mais il peut également être utilisé pour d'autres types de stockage et/ou transport sécurisé(s) d'objets de valeur tels que, par exemple, les cartes d'identité, les permis de conduire, les cartes d'immatriculation des véhicules, les carnets de chèques, les disques d'ordinateurs.The container 1 according to the invention applies more particularly to the protection of banknotes, but it can also be used for other types of storage and / or secure transport (s) of valuables such as, for example, for example, identity cards, driver's licenses, vehicle registration cards, checkbooks, computer disks.

Enfin, il va de soi que les exemples de container 1 conformes à l'invention qui viennent d'être décrits ne sont que des illustrations particulières, en aucun cas limitatives de l'invention.Finally, it goes without saying that the examples of container 1 according to the invention which have just been described are only particular illustrations, in no way limiting the invention.
