Abstract
An electronic control system (41) is provided for a modular storage and support assembly that uses a platform system that includes vertically disposed support posts (10). The support post has an extended tubular body and a plurality of symmetrically spaced, radially extending flanges running the length of the tubular body. Each flange has a first portion extending radially from the post and a second portion at the terminal end of the first portion. A slot is defined between each pair of adjacent flanges for receiving vertical panels or other inserts. The electronic control system controls a security system for locking and unlocking the modular storage and support assembly.
Claims
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 18 October 1996 (18.10.96); original claim 5 cancelled; original claim 1 amended; new claims 23-32 added; remaining claims unchanged (6 pages)]
1. A control system for use with an enclosed structure including an electrically-controlled locking mechanism for securing the enclosed structure, said control system comprising: input means for inputting information; control means for controlling the locking mechanism to lock and unlock the enclosed structure in accordance with the information input by said input means; and access changing means for changing the access information stored in said storing means.
2. A control system according to Claim 1, wherein said control means comprises: storing means for storing access information; and access control means for controlling the locking mechanism in accordance with (i) the information input by said input means and (ii) the access information stored in said storing means.
3. A control system according to Claim 2, wherein said input means comprises means for inputting a user code, wherein the access information includes valid user codes, and wherein said access control means comprises (a) means for comparing a user code input by said input means with valid user codes stored in said storing means and for producing a comparison result and (b) means for controlling the locking mechanism in accordance with the comparison result.
4. A control system according to Claim 3, wherein said input means comprises a keypad, and
-58- wherein said storing means comprises a non¬ volatile memory.
-59-
6. A control system according to Claim 1, wherein said control means further comprises: timing means for measuring elapsed time; and time control means for controlling the locking mechanism in accordance with the elapsed time measured by said timing means.
7. A control system according to Claim 6, wherein said time control means comprises time locking means for locking the locking mechanism in accordance with the elapsed time measured by said timing means.
8. A control system according to Claim 7, wherein said time locking means comprises means for locking the locking mechanism in accordance with said timing means measuring an elapsed time greater than a predetermined time.
9. A control system according to Claim 8, further comprising changing means for changing the predetermined time.
10. A control system according to Claim 6, further comprising: a port for connection to an external device; and downloading means for transmitting data from said control system to the external device through said port.
11. A control system for use with an enclosed structure including (a) a lockable component and (b) an electrically-controlled locking mechanism for locking
-60-
23. A control system for use with an enclosed structure including an electrically-controlled locking mechanism for securing the enclosed structure, said control system comprising: input means for inputting information; control means for controlling the locking mechanism to lock and unlock the enclosed structure in accordance with the information input by said input means and an elapsed time, said control means comprising timing means for measuring elapsed time, and time control means for controlling the locking mechanism in accordance with the elapsed time measured by said timing means.
24. A control system according to Claim 23, wherein said time control means comprises time locking means for locking the locking mechanism in accordance with the elapsed time measured by said timing means.
25. A control system according to Claim 24, wherein said time locking means comprises means for locking the locking mechanism in accordance with said timing means measuring an elapsed time greater than a predetermined time.
26. A control system according to Claim 25, further comprising changing means for changing the predetermined time.
27. A control system according to Claim 23, further comprising: a port for connection to an external device; and downloading means for transmitting data from said control system to the external device through said port.
-61-
28. A control system according to Claim 23, wherein said control means further comprises: storing means for storing access information; and access control means for controlling the locking mechanism in accordance with (i) the information input by said input means and (ii) the access information stored in said storing means.
29. A control system according to Claim 28, wherein said input means comprises means for inputting a user code, wherein the access information includes valid user codes, and wherein said access control means comprises (a) means for comparing a user code input by said input means with valid user codes stored in said storing means and for producing a comparison result and (b) means for controlling the locking mechanism in accordance with the comparison result.
30. A control system according to Claim 29, wherein said input means comprises a keypad, and wherein said storing means comprises a non¬ volatile memory.
31. A control system according to Claim 29, further comprising access changing means for changing the access information stored in said storing means.
32. A lockable enclosed structure, comprising: a plurality of support posts; a base to which said support posts are secured; first and second wall panels disposed vertically on said base and secured to said support posts, with said wall panels having a corrugated interior surface;
a top platform covering said support posts and said wall panels; a locking bar disposed within said first wall panel; at least one locking finger secured to said locking bar and housed in said corrugated interior surface; actuating means for actuating said locking bar between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position said locking bar positions said locking finger to extend out of said corrugated interior surface; a drawer having a channel arranged to couple with said locking finger extending out of said corrugated interior surface when said actuating means has actuated said locking bar into the locked position to prevent movement of said drawer; and control means for controlling said actuating means, said control means comprising input means for inputting information, storing means for storing access information, and access control means for controlling said locking mechanism in accordance with (i) the information input by said input means and (ii) the access information stored in said storing means.
