'1 Claim.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in devices for protecting safes against burglars and the like, and has for its object the provision of a device which may be readily attached to a safe so as to render it impossible for an unauthorized person to gain access to the safe without first setting off an alarm or other entrapment device.
Another object of this invention is to provide means for securing a safe to its support to prevent bodily removal of the safe by unauthorized persons.
Other objects will become apparent from the following description and accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is an exploded view showing the elements comprising this invention;
Figure 2 is a view showing the device applied to a safe with the parts placed in safe protecting position, and
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2', but showing the device actuated so as to initiate the burglar alarm or other entrapment device.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the safe to which the device is to be applied is designated by numeral 8 and is here shown as being one of a well known variety having a door 5 and combination lock 6.
Secured to a side wall of the safe is a tubular bracket 9 whose upper end terminates in a plane inclined to the longitudinal axis of the tube. The bracket 9 is also secured at its lower end to the floor on which the safe rests, as indicated in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawing.
Supported in the tubular bracket 9 is a protecting device comprising a shield 3 mounted at one end of a rod I having two horizontal portions as shown at 2 and I, and a vertical portion rotatably and slidably mounted in the tubular bracket. The horizontal portion 2 of the rod normally rests on the inclined portion I4 of the tubular bracket. The vertical portion of the rod I extends through the floor and is secured against removal by an arm II fastened to its lower extremity. The arm I I is angularly disposed on the shaft I in a position whereby it will close a switch I3 when the shield portion is swung into the position shown in Figure 3, but will be free of the switch when the shield is in the dial protecting position shown in Figure 2.
The switch I3 serves to actuate a burglar alarm or other entrapment device designated generally 6 by I2.
The protecting shield is normally disposed in front of the combination lock 6, as shown in Figure 2 of the drawing, in which position the arm is free of the switch I3. Should an unauthorized 10 persons attempt to manipulate the combination lock by swinging the shield 3 from the dial concealing position of Figure 2 to the position shown in Figure 3, the arm II will contact and close switch I3, which in turn will energize the alarm I or other entrapment device indicated at I2. Moreover, as the shield is swung from dial protecting position, it is obvious that the horizontal portion 2 of the supporting rod will ride up on the inclined portion I 4 of the tubular bracket 20 so that the shield is constantly urged into dial protecting position.
It is apparent also that the tubular bracket 9 being anchored to the floor, will effectively secure the safe against removal.
I claim:
A protective device for safes comprising a tubular bracket adapted to be fastened to the side wall of a safe, the tubular bracket having one end terminating in a plane inclined to the longitu- 30 dinal axis of the cylinder to form a cam surface, the other end of the tubular bracket adapted to be fastened to the support on which the safe rests, a rod rotatably and slidably mounted in said tubular bracket having an intermediate portion disposed in angular relationto the portion of the rod lying within the tubular bracket to 7 form an abutment adapted to rest on the cam portion of the bracket, and terminating at one end in a disc portion adapted to conceal the combination dial of thesafe; the other end of the rod extending through the safe support and secured against removal by an arm adapted to close the switch of a. burglar alarm when said disc portion is moved from dial protecting position.
