, References Cited I 2 Claim, 3 Drawing Figures UNITED STATES PATENTS 491,875 2/1893 PROPERTY SAFE My property safe has two sections, typically each being 6 feet high, 3 feet deep and I 1% feet wide. After the two sections are carried separately to-a desired location such as an apartment, the two sections are bolted together into a single unit, for example, 6 feet-high, 3 feet deep and 3 feet wide. The size of the assembled safe. is such that it is larger than any door opening whereby it cannot be carried out without disassembly. The safe can have a removable clothes rack, a main compartment for large items such as musical instruments and a small compartment for money, jewels, personal records and the like. The safe can employ two strong tumbler like locks.

My invention provides a high degree of protection in a very simple manner at low cost. Expensive but easily stolen items such as tape recorders, hi-fi sets, fur coats, musical instruments and the like, once in the safe, are kept in a safe manner. The safe cannot be removed without disassembly, a difficult and time consuming operation. The safe can be broken into only with special tools and tedious effort.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:

FIG. I is a perspective view of my safe, showing the sections separated;

FIG. 2 is a side detail view of a lock structure employed in my invention; and

FIG. 3 is a side view of my invention with the two sections interconnected.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now, first and second mating half sections 10 and 12, each having the form of a rectangular parallelepiped are adapted to be connected together by advancing bolts 14 disposed outwardly and peripherally of one surface of section 12 into aligned spaced bores 16 (which can be threaded) in section 10. Sections 10 and 12 together share a large hollow compartment 18 into which the large items can be disposed. Section 10 can also have a small compartment 20 for money, jewelry and personal records as well as a removable clothes rack 22.

Section 10 can have upper and lower key operated tumbler locks 24 and 26, each with a cam 28 which can be moved up through a vertical bore 30 in a selected bolt 14 to lock or can be moved downward thereout for unlocking.

While I have described my invention with particular reference to the drawings, such is not to be considered as limiting its actual scope.

Having thus described this invention, what is asserted as new is:

l. A property safe container comprising a pair of separable and connectable upright rectangular boxes each having an open side, mating surfaces around the periphery of said open sides, one of said surfaces having bolts extending perpendicularly outwardly therefrom, said other surface having bores to receive said bolts, clothes rack and safety box located at the upper and lower portion respectively of one of said boxes, and locking means for locking said bolts in said bores whereby when locked together, said boxes define a structure too large to pass through a typical apartment door.

2. A safe as set forth in claim 1 wherein said locking means consist of cam means in engagement with openings in said bolts.

Claims (2)

1. A property safe container comprising a pair of separable and connectable upright rectangular boxes each having an open side, mating surfaces around the periphery of said open sides, one of said surfaces having bolts extending perpendicularly outwardly therefrom, said other surface having bores to receive said bolts, clothes rack and safety box located at the upper and lower portion respectively of one of said boxes, and locking means for locking said bolts in said bores whereby when locked together, said boxes define a structure too large to pass through a typical apartment door.

2. A safe as set forth in claim 1 wherein said locking means consist of cam means in engagement with openings in said bolts.
