Method and device for protecting valuables against theft.

In the outdoor area, such as swimming beaches or lawns on rivers, visitors are usually anxious to stay near the place chosen for them to relax or sporting events. Each of the visitors usually has some valuables such as car keys, mobile phones and purses, which are vulnerable to theft when leaving, for example on a lawn. A guarding of these valuables by guards is almost impossible. This problem is aggravated when, for example, visitors go swimming in the water.

The deficits in guarding such valuables are leading to an increasing number of theft offenses in this environment which, especially in places with high concentrations of people, cause enormous damage and permanently damage the tourist appeal of beaches or other recreational or bathing places at home and abroad. In addition to individual damage, this also causes economic damage.

The following Canadian publication is known from the prior art: CA 2343873 A1 2002/05/28. This relates to a provided for attachment to the body carrying device. From the US patent number US 6,37,353 B2 a modular Safeaufbau is known. The embodiment described therein is unsuitable for outdoor use due to the variety of components and the complexity of the structural design.

There are known from the prior art waterproof plastic containers that can be attached via straps to the body. However, these containers are unwieldy and disturb the swimmer in his movements. In addition, these containers always take into account the up and down. Both limits the use of these containers. If they are lying on the beach and are not carried on the body and stored at the berth, for example, they are also subject to spontaneous theft. A further embodiment of a device according to the patent application EP 1083 288 A2 and DE 26 58 920 A1 consists of Locker modules are arranged on which column sections and form a column of a plurality of assembled locker modules. A disadvantage of this storage solution is that these locker modules with simple tools, such as by cutting or sawing, are easily separated and therefore ensure insufficient safety for the items in the device valuables. Another disadvantage is that a foundation firmly anchored in the ground is necessary for the device, which remains after removal of the device at the site. In rocky ground, the installation of a device of this type is poorly possible. The custody is also insufficiently protected against the heat generated by solar radiation, as occurs in tropical and subtropical climates, especially when no possibility of using shadows such as trees, buildings or others can be used.

The object of the invention is to provide a device for securing personal valuables, especially in open-air areas, such as bathing beaches or lawns on rivers, which ensures the safety of personal valuables against theft and unwanted climatic influences, and easily and comfortably without losing, needed to open the device needed items and can be mounted on beaches without a special infrastructure through a terrain adaptable foundation. The object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1.

In a device according to the invention are specialist modules of identical parts, preferably constructed of rectangular Aluminiumstrangpressprofϊlen and equipped with an inside U-shaped extruded profile, which has at its outer edges in spaced, semi-circular inwardly shaped, longitudinally extending channels, in which tubular plastic bearing bearings are arranged, which are arranged on its outer contour with the radii of the inner contour of the modules form-fitting easily slidably. On the front side and the back of the U-shaped extruded profile plates are arranged at right angles to the central axis, which are non-positively connected in the longitudinal direction by clamping elements and thereby form a trough-shaped drawer closed on both sides. On the rear panel of the drawer, a reentrant provided with a puncture is installed, which locks via a locking hook, which is pivotally mounted on the compartment block rear wall.

Tray parts designed as enclosures for drawers have surfaces on the outer edges running in the longitudinal direction, which are arranged parallel opposite one another. In the inner edge region of the inner contour of the compartment modules are elevated, provided with radii, extending in the longitudinal direction, diagonally opposite slideways. As a result of this structural design, an air circulation space is arranged between the drawer and the compartment part, which prevents heat build-up in the area of the storage material when the device according to the invention is exposed to strong sunlight. The compartment parts are assembled as in the embodiment to form a compartment block, which is arranged displaceably opposite one another at a right angle on a base plate, each with a further compartment block and screwed and preferably forms a square or rectangular shape in plan, as well as on the front panel having through Connecting webs are divided, between which drawer depressions are inserted so that between the drawer front and the webs only a minimal gap is present, which prevents it by leverage or simple tools to break up drawers, and a cover plate arranged above which screwed watertight to the compartment blocks at their outer edges is. In the center of the cover plate solar panels are arranged, which are mounted to protect against destruction by vandalism in the interior of the device at the back of the compartment blocks through an opening in the cover plate and hinged to the upper edges by hinges on a holder, which is designed as a lid and in the lowered state, the opening in the cover plate closes securely against ingress of water in the rain. The locking and opening of the drawers via a magnetic coil which is mounted on the rear wall of a compartment block, and a provided at its front with a permanent magnet plunger, which is guided in the center of the magnetic coil by a guide tube. In front of the permanent magnet, a locking bar is arranged, which consists of a non-magnetic steel and a bearing block, the force-locking and form-fitting manner attached to the rear wall is. In order to establish connection between the locking bolt and the permanent magnet of the plunger via the permanent magnetic field, an iron core is installed in the lower area of the locking hook in a bore. On the rear panel of the drawer is provided with a puncture repository, in which the locking latch engages when closing the drawer.

The device according to the invention described in the embodiment is equipped with an electronic, the various conditions of the sites adaptive programmable controller, which is powered by solar panels with electric current. In batteries or accumulators, which are installed in the pivotable, firmly attached to the device foundation, electrical energy is temporarily stored for periods of low sunshine. The foundation is preferably made of reinforced concrete and consists of a foundation base plate having on its upper side concentric with its outer contour a spherical portion which is arranged in the center of the foundation base plate and having a threaded spindle arranged in the center, which for fixing a equipped with a spherical cap Reinforced concrete existing tubular upper part is formed and allows alignment in the horizontal plane of the upper part, even if the substrate has a strong inclination. The upper part is equipped with an anti-burglary steel door. In its interior money cassettes and coin guides are arranged, which lead from the coin validators in the cash boxes. The electrical control for the solar panels as well as battery and charge controller are also installed in the upper part.
