  • one embodiment of a portable security device comprises a box-shaped container 1 having a lockable lid 2, a base 3 and four side walls 4 to 7 which project beyond the base 3 to form a flange 3 A around the periphery of the base.
  • a pair of wheels 8 and 9 are mounted in corresponding corners of the opposed side walls 4 and 6 and a detachable handle 10 is mounted on the lid 2, so that, in the first assembled condition of Figure 1, the container 1 can be wheeled along the ground.
  • the handle 10 of the security device is of two-part construction and is composed of a lower spade-shaped anchor member 11 detachably connected to an upper handle portion 12.
  • the anchor member 11 comprises a shaft 13 provided with a blade 14 at a distal end thereof.
  • the upper handle portion 12 comprises a straight shaft portion 15 having at its upper end a hand grip portion 16 extending at an angle to the shaft portion 15.
  • the lower end of the shaft portion 15 is detachably connected to a proximal end of the shaft 13 of the anchor member to form the composite handle.
  • the base 3 of the container 1 is formed centrally with an aperture 17 dimensioned to receive the proximal end of the shaft 13 of the anchor member 11. As shown in Figure 3, the proximal end of the shaft 13 of the anchor member 11 is formed with a series of circumferential grooves 18.
  • the security device further comprises a fastening device 19, shown in detail in Figure 4, for lockable engagement with a selected one of the grooves 18 formed at the proximal end of the shaft 13 of the anchor member 11.
  • the fastening device 19 comprises an annular ring 20 formed with a pair of diametrically opposed bores 21 extending radially through the ring.
  • Each bore 21 houses a plunger-like detent 22 which is biased radially inwardly of the ring 20 by a spring 23 and which is attached to a finger pull 24 which projects from the radially outwardly end of the bore 21. By pulling on the finger pull 24 the detent 22 may be withdrawn from a central aperture 25 of the ring 20 into its respective bore 21.
  • the security device also includes a conical anchoring sleeve 26 having an aperture 27 at its apex dimensioned to receive the shaft 13 of the anchor member 11.
  • the container 1 is wheeled to a location where it is to be secured to the ground.
  • the handle 10 is detached from the container 1 and is used to dig a hole in the ground to a depth of around 50cm.
  • the anchor member 13 is separated from the upper handle portion 12 and the conical anchoring sleeve 26 is placed on the shaft 13 with the apex of the anchoring sleeve uppermost, i.e. remote from the blade 14, and is slid down to the bottom of the shaft 13.
  • the anchor member 11 is then placed in the hole in the ground so that the blade 14 is lowermost and rests on the bottom of the hole.
  • the sand or soil removed from the hole is then replaced in the hole, leaving the proximal end of the shaft 13 formed with the grooves 18 still projecting above the ground.
  • the container 2 is tipped onto its base 3 and lowered onto the shaft 13, so that the proximal end of the shaft projects into the container 1 through the aperture 17 in the base 3 and the container is pressed into the ground, so that the flange 3 A around the base 3 digs into the ground.
  • the lid 2 of the container 1 is opened and the fastening devise 19 is lowered onto the projecting part of the shaft 13 inside the container 1, so that the proximal end of the shaft 13 passes through the aperture 25 of the ring 20 and the detents 22 of the fastening ring engage one of the grooves 18 on the shaft 13.
  • the fastening ring 14 may be moved down the shaft 13 to a selected position on the grooved part of the shaft 13 by manipulating the finger pulls 24 to retract the detents 22 and releasing the finger pulls when the desired groove 18 is reached.
  • the user's valuables, together with the upper handle portion of the handle may then be locked inside the lockable container 1 by locking the lid 2.
  • the locked container 1 is securely attached to the ground by the anchor member 11, the resistance to withdrawal of the anchor member being considerably increased by the presence of the conical anchoring sleeve on the shaft 13.
  • the connection between the anchor member and the container 1 is securely enclosed within the container 1 itself.
  • the embedding of the flange 3A around the base 3 in the ground resists sideways motion and prevents the anchor member from being loosened.
  • the container 1 is unlocked, the fastening device 19 is removed from the shaft 13 by actuating the finger pulls 24 and sliding the ring from the shaft, and the box is then lifted off the shaft 13.
  • the upper handle portion 12 is connected to the buried anchor member 11 and the assembled handle is rocked from side-to-side to release the anchor member 11 from the ground.
  • the handle components and the fastening ring may conveniently be stored in the container.
  • the container 1 may be formed with flaps which open out into a table top.
  • additional containers may be attached to the container 1 by means of key-ways on the containers to provide additional storage space.
