Description

Underseat Safe for Camper Van This invention relates to a safe which is fitted under the passenger or driver's seat base of a camper van, also known as a camper, caravanette or motor caravan (hereafter referred to as 'camper van').
In order to store and protect valuables, a safe can be placed under the passenger or driver's seat base of different types of camper van.
However, the use of conventional safes which have been designed to be placed under a passenger or driver's seat of a camper van can lead to a number of restrictions and difficulties. Access to the interiors of conventional under seat safes have a vertical door opening at the front of the safe, which limits the size of the aperture. The access door of this type of safe intrudes into the space of the camper van when opened as it extends into the rear area of the camper van. The user of the safe has to lower themselves downwards in order to horizontally place items into the safe. The user of the safe cannot view the items previously placed in the safe or see which item they would like to remove unless the user places their head at the same level as the safe aperture on the camper van floor. Bolts are partly external in order to affix the safe securely to the camper van seat base, resulting in the safe being less secure in respect to unauthorized access as the external nuts holding these bolts in position can be removed.
To overcome these problems, the present invention proposes to have an access door on the top of the safe so that the door is horizontal when closed and is lifted upwards to a vertical position or beyond up to a 160 angle when opened. This horizontal opening results in a larger aperture allowing items of a greater size to be placed and stored in the safe than in a conventional camper van safe. The passenger or driver's seat is slid forward to access the safe door, so the user of the safe can see, place and remove the items inside the safe from above. The studs that secure the safe in place are welded to the underside of the top of the safe. The nut fitted onto each of these studs are attached via the safe aperture so that they are housed within the internal compartment of the safe, resulting in no external studs or nuts being present. As these studs cannot be accessed and removed externally, this results in the safe being more secure than conventional safes of this type in terms of preventing unauthorized access or removal. The front and rear parts of the safe are securely fixed by attaching bolts with accompanying nuts to the passenger or driver's seat base through pre-existing holes in the passenger or driver's seat base using secured kinked adaption plates welded to the front and rear parts of the safe. This results in the bolts and accompanying nuts being housed within the passenger or driver's seat base so that they not accessible externally, again resulting in the safe being more secure than conventional safes of this type in respect to unauthorized access or removal.
The safe opening is preferably provided using a biometric system with a pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock, although the safe opening may also be by other pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock key and slot means with the addition of a handle attached to the safe door. The handle can be a fixed ledge, bridge or bow pull or may alternatively be provided by other means, such as a handle which can be raised to open the safe door and lowered so that it is flush along the top of the safe. The safe door can be attached to the top of the safe with an externally pivoted hinge mechanism or alternatively without a hinge that allows the user to lift and separate the safe door away from the top of the safe using locking fingers into a running slot. The safe can be constructed from a rigid, inflexible material such as mild steel. Alternatively, it can be constructed from other types of rigid, inflexible metal. The main safe body consists of three or more metal parts welded or attached together to form the top, back and front of safe.
The right and left sides of the safe are created by the preexisting, pre-formed parts of the seat base of the passenger or driver's seat. Alternatively, the right and left sides of the safe are created by the pre-existing, pre-formed parts of the seat base of the passenger or driver's seat which partially curve around the edges of the front and rear parts of the safe so that the safe front and rear are partially enclosed inside the seat base. This depends on the type of the camper van seat-base in which the safe is to be fitted.
One or more of the angles at the front and rear parts of the safe can be altered at the production stage to fit different types of passenger or driver's seat base designs in camper vans. Similarly, the size and proportions of the safe and the secured kinked adaption fixing plates can be altered at the production stage to fit different types of passenger or driver's seat base designs in camper vans.
The placement of the kinked adaption plates and holes that allow the rear and front of the safe to be fixed to the passenger or driver's seat base using bolts and accompanying nuts can be altered in terms of positioning at the production stage to fit a different types of passenger or driver's seat base designs. The placement of the L-shaped fixing plates on the underside of the top of the safe can also be altered at the production stage in terms of positioning in relation to the overall size of the safe.
The invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional image of the safe top, safe front and safe rear as separate components with indications as to where each component is attached to the pre-existing, preformed camper van passenger or driver's seat base and how the safe top is attached to the front and rear sections of the safe.
Figure 2a shows the top part of the safe, with a horizontal external hinged door with a handle that can be lifted vertically upwards to a perpendicular angle or beyond up to a 160 angle, using a seven lever safe latch deadlock key and slot system. In this example, the handle is fixed but alternatively a moveable handle can be used.
Figure 2b shows the underside of the safe top with the L-shaped fixing plates and holes through which the bolts with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut will be fixed to secure the safe top to the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base. It also shows the points where the welded studs will be attached to the top of the safe in order to secure the safe top to the front and rear sides of the safe. In this example, the seven lever safe latch deadlock is a pre-existing, ready-made safe latch deadlock key and slot system but alternatively a biometric system can be used.
Figure 2c shows the top of the safe from a side angle with the externally hinged safe door and handle opened to a perpendicular angle, with a pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock.
Figure 3a shows the front part of the safe that has been angled to fit into the pre-existing, pre-formed seat base area under the passenger or driver's seat, the horizontal shelf at the top of the safe front that is affixed to the underside of the safe top, the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the safe front that is affixed to the passenger or driver's seat base and the kinked adaption plates which are spot welded or welded by other means to the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the safe front which secure the safe front to the passenger or driver's seat base.
Figure 3b shows from directly above the horizontal shelf at the top of the safe front that is affixed to the underside of the safe top towards the front using welded studs and the placement of the holes through which the welded studs will pass in order to attach the front of the safe to the safe top using these studs, with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 3c shows from directly below the bottom of the front part of the safe and the kinked adaption plates and holes through which the bolts that affix it to the passenger or driver's seat base are inserted with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 3d shows from one side a vertical edge of the front part of the safe with a kinked adaption plate at the bottom and the horizontal shelf top that is affixed to the underside of the top of the safe using welded studs, with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 4a shows the rear part of the safe which has been angled to fit into the pre-existing, pre-formed seat base area under the passenger or driver's seat and is attached to the top of the safe along the rear edge using welded studs, with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut. The kinked adaption plates shown attach the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the rear part of the safe to the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base.
Figure 4b shows from directly above the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear part of the safe that is affixed to the underside of the safe top along the rear edge using welded studs and the placement of the holes through which the welded studs will pass in order to attach the front of the safe to the safe top using these studs, with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 4c shows from the front the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the rear part of the safe with the kinked adaption plates that are spot welded or alternatively welded by other means, on either side of the horizontal shelf that is affixed to the preexisting, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base using bolts with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 4d shows from one side a vertical edge of the rear part of the safe with a kinked adaption plate and the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear part of the safe that is affixed to the underside of the top of the safe using welded studs, with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut. The rear part of the safe is angled to fit into the pre-existing, pre-formed area of the passenger or driver's seat base.
In Figure 1, the safe top 1 includes a horizontal safe door 2 which can be opened and raised using an external hinge 3. The pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock 8 on the underside of the safe top 1 can be locked and unlocked using a safe key and slot 4 or alternatively a biometric opening system, with a fixed handle attached 5 in order to open and close the safe door 2, which can alternately be a lever handle raised manually from the safe top 1 to open the door and lowered so that it is flush with the top of the safe. The two holes at the front corners of the safe top 7 allow the front edge of the safe top to be placed over the horizontal shelf 12a at the top of the front part of the safe 12, using bolts 28 inserted through the holes 7 and passing through the pre-existing, pre-formed holes 23 in the passenger or driver's seat base 20, which are secured by accompanying nylocs or other type of nut. Studs 29 are welded to the underside of the top of the safe along the front edge 6. These welded studs 29 pass through the holes 14 in the horizontal shelf at the top of the front part of the safe 12a and the pre-existing, pre-formed holes 22 in the passenger or driver's seat base 20 and are secured to the passenger or driver's seat base by accompanying nylocs or other type of nut that are internally housed. The two holes at the rear corners of the safe top 11 allow the rear edge of the safe top to be placed over the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear part of the safe 16a, which is affixed by bolts 32 inserted upwards through the pre-existing, pre-formed holes 25 in the passenger or driver's seat base 20 and passing through the two holes at the rear corners of the safe top 11, which are secured by accompanying nylocs or other type of nut both on the inside of the safe compartment and on the exterior of the rear corners of the safe top 11. Studs 31 are welded to the underside of the top of the safe along the rear edge 10. These welded studs 31 pass through the holes 18 in the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear part of the safe 16a and the pre-existing, pre-formed holes 26 in the passenger or driver's seat base 20, and are secured to the seat base by accompanying nylocs or other type of nut that are internally housed. Bolts 30 are passed externally through the pre-existing, pre-formed holes 24 in the passenger or driver's seat base 20 and then through the L-shaped fixing plates 9a 9b on the underside of the top of the safe 1. These are attached by accompanying nylocs or other type of nut so that the L-shaped fixing plates 9a 9b are housed within the passenger or driver's seat base 20. The front part of the safe 12 is fixed to the passenger or driver's seat base 20 using kinked adaption plates 13a 13b that have been spot welded or welded by other means to the lower horizontal self at the bottom of the safe front 12b. The kinked adaption plates 13a 13b are affixed to the passenger or driver's seat base 20 through bolts 33 that are placed through the kinked adaption plate holes 15 and then through the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base holes 21 which are attached by nylocs or other type of nut. The rear part of the safe 16 is fixed to the passenger or driver's seat base 20 using kinked adaption plates 17a 17b that have been spot welded or welded by other means to the lower horizontal shelf at the bottom of the rear of the safe 16b. The kinked adaption plates 17a 17b are affixed to the passenger or driver's seat base 20 through bolts 34 that are placed through the kinked adaption plate holes 19 and then through the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base holes 27 which are attached by accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
This will allow the user to open the safe door from above by moving the passenger or driver's seat forwards and place or remove items in the safe without the user having to lower themselves to the camper van floor in order to access or remove items. The larger aperture created by a safe opening on the top of the safe will allow the user to place items of a greater size in the safe than a conventional passenger or driver's under seat safe and be able to see items already placed in the safe from above. The welded studs on the underside of the top of the safe to the front and the rear and the nylocs or other type of nuts which attach these studs to the passenger or driver's seat base are only accessible through the safe top aperture so are housed within the safe. The L-shaped fixing plates on the underside of the safe top which are attached to the passenger or driver's seat base by nylocs or other type of nuts result in these fixings being housed internally within the safe. The front and rear sides of the safe affixed to the passenger or driver's seat base by the kinked adaption plates and accompanying nylocs or other type of nuts are also housed internally. This means that none of the fixings are solely accessible externally.
Figure 2a shows the safe top 1, with the horizontally placed safe door 2, the external hinge 3, the key slot 4 of the preexisting, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock 8, the safe door handle 5, the two holes at the corners of the front edge of the safe 7 through which bolts will be fixed, and the two holes at the corners of the rear edge of the safe 11 through which bolts 32 will be fixed.
Figure 2b shows the underside of safe top 1, the horizontally placed safe door 2, the mechanism casing of the pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock 8, the key slot of the pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock 4, the two L-shaped fixing plates 9a 9h, the points where the two studs 29 along the front edge of the safe top will be welded 6, the points where the two studs 31 along the rear edge of the safe top will be welded 10, the two holes at the corners of the front edge of the safe 7 through which bolts 28 will be fixed, and the two holes at the corners of the rear edge of the safe 11 through which bolts 32 will be fixed.
Figure 2c shows the safe top 1 from one side with the safe door 2 perpendicularly opened, the key slot 4, the mechanism casing of the pre-existing, ready-made seven lever safe latch deadlock 8 attached to the underside of the safe door, the safe door handle 5 and the external hinge 3.
Figures 2a, 2b and 2c allow a safe door with a larger aperture than a conventional under seat safe to be accessible at the top of the safe, while also ensuring that the safe top is connected to the other parts of the safe and to the passenger or driver's seat base with fixings that are internally housed, so reducing the risk of unauthorized access or removal.
Figure 3a shows face on the front of the safe 12 with the welded on kinked adaption plates 13a 13b at the bottom and the angled area towards the top with the horizontal shelf at the top of the safe front 12a that is affixed to the front edge of the top of the safe 1 using welded studs 29 that are housed on the inside of the safe compartment with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut which are also internally housed.
Figure 3b shows directly from above the horizontal shelf at the top of the front of the safe 12b with the two holes 14 which allow the internal welded studs 29 to be fixed through the horizontal shelf at the top of the front of the safe 12a to the front edge of the top of the safe 1 with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut which are also internally housed.
Figure 3c shows from directly below the kinked adaption plates 13a 13b which are spot welded or welded by other means to the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the front of the safe 12b with the two holes 15 that allow the front of the safe to be attached by bolts 33 to the pre-existing, pre-formed holes 21 in the passenger or driver's seat base 20 using accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 3d shows from one side the angled front of the safe 12 with the horizontal shelf at the top of the safe front 12a that is attached to the safe top 1 using studs 29 which are welded to points on the underside of the safe top 6 inside the safe compartment with accompanying nylocs or other type of nut that are also internally housed. It also shows one of the kinked adaption plates 13b that affixes the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the front of the safe 12b which is attached to the passenger or driver's seat base 20.
Figures 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d show how the front of the safe is attached to the top of the safe and to the passenger or driver's seat base so that all fixings are housed internally within the safe in order to prevent external access, so making the safe more secure in respect to unauthorized access or removal.
Figure 4a shows the rear of the safe 16 with the kinked adaption plates 17a 17b and holes 19 which is attached by bolts 32 to the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base 20 at the bottom using nylocs or other type of nut, and the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear of the safe 16a which is attached by internal welded studs 31 to the rear edge of the top of the safe 1.
Figure 4b shows from directly above the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear of the safe 16a with the two holes 18 through which the internal welded studs will pass to secure the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear of the safe 16a to the rear edge of the top of the safe 1 using nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 4c shows the kinked adaption plates 17a 17b which are spot welded or welded by other means to the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the rear of the safe 16b. This allows the rear of the safe 16 to be attached to the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base 20 using nylocs or other type of nut.
Figure 4d shows from one side the angled rear of the safe 16 and the horizontal shelf at the top of the rear of the safe 16a. It also shows a kinked adaption plate 17b which is spot welded or welded by other means to the horizontal shelf at the bottom of the rear of the safe 16b in order to affix the rear of the safe 16 to the pre-existing, pre-formed passenger or driver's seat base 20 using bolts 34 and accompanying nylocs or other type of nut.
Figures 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d show how the rear of the safe is attached to the top of the safe and to the passenger or driver's seat base so that all fixings are housed internally within the safe in order to prevent external access, so making the safe more secure in respect to unauthorized access or removal.
