FR2615986A1 - Anti-break in container or suitcase - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention consists of a container or suitcase, of any manufacture and shape, but sealed against pressure and light. This container or suitcase, equipped with an electromagnetic adjustment set in position after a calibrated adjustment time, on locking the lock, provides for the destruction of its contents, if these ambience/pressure and/or light conditions are disturbed without normal opening by the combination of the lock: an x-ray detection also provides for the destruction, if the container or the suitcase is examined.

Description

The transport of funds, valuables or documents, from one place to another, is carried out, generally in precarious conditions, taking into account the technical means available from predators.

For example, even armored vehicles do not offer sufficient security against a well-equipped band, using, as has already happened, anti-tank light weapons, the acquisition of which does not seem to be very selective about the quality of recipients.

We will only speak, for the record, of more modest transport, in "attache-case" type cases equipped with signals and destruction systems, based on the fact of "uprooting" of the object from its legitimate holder .

The present invention aims to achieve a container or carrying case (of any size) whose characteristic is to be rigorously inviolable, without precise knowledge of its closure device.

By "inviolable", we mean that, in the event of a break-in, the content of the "container or briefcase" is automatically destroyed, and that either a coloring gas or an explosive (precious stones) makes it possible to identify the perpetrators theft, or physically harming them; it is a dissuasive device, not based on a thickness of shielding, but on the disturbance of an internal ambient medium, with very narrow characteristics, the effects of which can only be imiected by the exact knowledge of a procedure mechanical, electronic or electro-magnetic release.

The invention consists of a container or case of indifferent shape and size, strictly sealed, when it is locked. This container or mail box is made of any material, just sufficiently solid to avoid the consequences of handling clashes.

Its locking is executed, in principle, by a combination device, mechanical, electronic, electro-magnetic, therefore non-violable.

When the deposits are placed in the container, there is, for example, a vacuum, or a calibrated overpressure, maintained as close as possible to the thresholds of a pressure-sensitive device, by a thermostatic Pelletier effect device. Locking the combination lock triggers an electro-mechanical device (reducer-potentiometer motor, for example), which adjusts the pressure change detection thresholds. Cesseuils, as well as this pressure, are chosen arbitrarily just before closing the container, so that destruction of it, for recovery of its contents, will trigger the firing of the device for firing the device for destroying deposits.

 It would be necessary to know exactly the real value of the pressure chosen so that, in a pressure bell, you can pretend to force the container with complete impunity.

The container or case also includes a ray detection device ni ": a film sensitive to MX rays", reflecting a calibrated light on a cell, for example, the calibration being obtained when the lock is closed by an electro- mechanical calibration, after sufficient time for their action.

The pneumatic device can be replaced, or helped by an internal lighting in the container or case, adjustable at will and which just like the pneumatic device can, after closing the container be "inserted" between two thresholds, by an electromagnetic device , as mentioned above.

In short, unless you know the combination of the lock that cancels the internal atmosphere device (s), or the characteristics of this atmosphere, there is no way to force this container or briefcase, without destroying its content , and possibly other damages.

The subject of the invention is any "container or briefcase" used for transporting banknotes, valuables, precious stones, documents or any other object of any kind which can be placed either in a container or briefcase of standardized form. , either in a container or briefcase specifically adapted to it; its domain therefore being from the briefcase type "briefcase" to the trunk, or to the large capacity container and of any shape.

Conveyors of funds and valuables, or coveted documents, using these containers or briefcases, in accordance with the invention, do not have to defend the latter, which can only limit shootings and other actions (grenades) , taken by armed force, and the ensuing media publicity will discourage predators.
