Abstract

The system has a container for automatically depositing an exposed material in case of alarm or detection of nonauthorized person in an exhibition zone.

Description

Integral protection system for exhibitors and shop windows

Technical sector

The invention falls within the technical sector of valuables protection systems, specifically in active protection systems against theft in exhibitors of Jewelry and the like.

State of the art

Currently and for years, the activities associated with trade and exhibition of valuable pieces (jewelry, watchmaking, ...), are subject to attacks by criminals, through systems based on the rapid and timely destruction of their exhibitors, using maces and similar systems, seizing continuation in the shortest possible time of how many valuables They are within reach.

To date the systems devised to avoid These crimes have been based on the comprehensive reform of the shop windows and exhibition areas, providing them with large glass thickness, reinforcement and alarm systems, which however, despite its high cost for entrepreneurs in the sector, they have not achieved the  expected results, as this type of crime continues to be committed with effective results, mainly due to several factors:

-

He little time of precise action for the execution of the crime.

-

The forcefulness and destructive capacity of the system used.

-

The inefficiency of alarms in terms of inability to react in Time of the forces and security forces.

-

Elevation of external security, which causes the crime to be executed from inside the premises, exposing employees and the public to greater danger.

Of the system proposed by the present invention, no references are available, in terms of existence or equipment Similar.

Considering it will be highly effective, mainly for its deterrent effect against this type of aggressions, by quickly and efficiently safeguarding valuables, from the moment the aggression is detected at  showcase.

The system by directly assuming an increase in security level, will necessarily increase the times necessary to obtain material of the loot, as the additional destruction of the proposed security system, making its material execution unfeasible, without risk of be arrested

Aiming at the drastic reduction in the commission of this type of criminal acts, as well as the annulment total objectives and demoralization of criminals and finally the disappearance of this type of crime for the impossibility (or great difficulty) by criminals, of Get quick and risk-free benefits.

The present invention aims at temporary safeguarding of the exhibited valuable objects, exclusively to avoid the commission of the crime.

It is not a place of custody only of concealment, thus improving the response of the Services of Security and deterring the authors, for whom their action, which initially it would have an estimated duration of two minutes be seen complicated and lengthen in more than thirty minutes.

The vessel is not meant to be a place considered of maximum security and custody of goods, regulated by current legislation regarding physical characteristics (thicknesses, closures, ...) and intrusion reaction times, with This specification is intended to avoid any interpretation erroneous in terms of its use, which could cause violations of the existing legislation.

It is not ruled out that the exposed system can be implement in the future as an integral part of safe deposit boxes Authorized by the administration.

Detailed description of the invention

The invention relates to a system of temporary concealment and protection of the material exposed in Showcases or showcases, is specifically designed for materials high value

The system consists of a container, closing hermetic, where the material will be deposited automatically exposed, in case of alarm or detection of unauthorized person in The exhibition area.

The container will have on top of one or more quick-acting hatches, fixed by hinges or similar and opening by despondency, at the signal of Alarm and automatic closing system. The exhibits and that you want to protect, will be placed on it, falling inside the container in case of activation, being safeguarded by the rear flap closure.

The vessel will have a secondary access, protected, for the subsequent recovery of objects.

The container will be constructed using materials such as steel and its alloys or ferrous materials of thickness adequate, to ensure adequate resistance.

The container may be of variable dimensions, appropriate to its use, volume of exposed material and location, building to the effect.

The container will have an anchor system floor, walls or variable structures depending on the characteristics of the premises, which guarantee its fixation to the environment of support.

The opening and closing system must be executed quickly. It is established that the intrusion process has a duration measured less than 15 seconds, so the opening is will perform inertially, and free fall at the signal of activation and closing by pushing system with time performance estimate less than 8 seconds.

Activation of the closing system will be activated at the trapdoor fall through a detection device position.

The closing system will guarantee a force of raised closure, to avoid being easily violated during execution of the action and that once closed a force is maintained Optimal to deal with possible aggressions.

The trapdoor closing system will be carried out through direct or indirect efforts on it through cylinder.

The possibility of execution is established by different systems of the closing action, which have the same foundation that is to raise the lid to its safety point, maintaining the level of strength:

- Close by direct action from the angle of the box.

- Close by direct action from the center of the box.

- Arc closure and direct action on the arc.

The cylinder drive system may be anyone who meets the conditions of efforts required, such as, electric, pneumatic, hydraulic and others.

The container will have a locking system complementary that acted as support of the trapdoor in situation non-intrusion, allow its release and fall in case of intrusion and lock the system once the hatch is raised.

The system will act autonomously, providing of the necessary elements and circuitry. Reacting to a alarm signal that can be external, automatic (linked to the establishment's alarm system or sideboard) or manual (activated by an employee), or internally available in this own alarm central case, included inside the own container and of the detection and activation elements that are required (motion, vibration, barrier sensors infrared and others).

Description of a preferred embodiment

Previously, the invention, concretizing for the purpose of a first execution as follow:

The box will be metallic, rectangular in shape, with hatch on top and recovery door in frontal, it will be manufactured by steel, alloy steel or ferric, with final thickness determined by the material used.

The door closure with vertical anchors and a horizontal

The inside of the container will be padded to that the pieces of value that fall inside from the area of exposure located on the top cover, do not suffer any damage to the operate the device.

The trapdoor activation and opening system (1), will act upon the alarm signal, activated by unauthorized presence, by means of the pick-up devices (2), leaving the top cover - trapdoor - (3) free, which will fall by inertia, opening and allowing the fall inside the objects that were on display (4). The trapdoor at the end of its path will activate the closing activation device (5), giving signal to the cylinder acting on the trapdoor closure (6), as a system of actuation of the cylinder a pneumatic autonomous operating system has been chosen (7 ) and that once activated, it can only be disconnected from inside the box, using the key of the main opening (8). Once the trapdoor is closed the trapdoor opening system re-locks the door in its state
initial.
