Definitions

  • This invention relates to relates to cash in transit systems.
  • the invention relates, in particular, to a cross pavement carrier for use in cash in transit systems.
  • the typical cash in transit system makes use of cash containers, armoured vehicles and cash container handling facilities, normally located at the cash collection and cash aggregation ends of the cash logistics chain, the cash collection end typically being a retail or banking facility and the cash aggregation end typically being a bulk cash processing centre.
  • Cash containers vary from simple reusable canvas bags, to tamper evident bags, to secure cash containers, which can double up as cross pavement carriers.
  • a cross pavement carrier is a secure container, meaning a container that is secured by means of at least one security mechanism that will activate automatically in an alarm situation, including a situation in which the integrity of the container may be compromised.
  • Secure containers are typically intended to contain cash, normally in the form of banknotes.
  • the security mechanism normally includes a dye mechanism that is adapted to release a staining dye into the interior of the carrier or a cash container located within the carrier, thereby marking the container contents (normally banknotes) as emanating from a compromised container.
  • a secure container comprises at least one security mechanism adapted to activate automatically in an alarm situation, the container including means to maintain a pressure differential between the inside and outside of the container, the security mechanism being adapted to activate in the event that the pressure differential varies, within a predetermined time, by an amount greater than a predetermined variation value.
  • the pressure differential may be a positive pressure differential, but in the preferred form of the invention, the pressure differential is a negative differential or partial vacuum, obtained by partial evacuation of the interior of the container prior to closing of the container.
  • the container preferably includes programmable logic means, a pressure sensor adapted to sense the pressure within the container and means to apply an alarm signal to the programmable logic means in the event that the sensor detects a critical pressure variation within the container, being a variation greater than a predetermined value, and the programmable logic means being adapted to trigger the container security mechanism on receipt of the alarm signal.
  • the critical pressure variation will be pressure loss and if the container is partially evacuated, the critical pressure variation will be a pressure increase.
  • the time value of the pressure variation may be important in certain situations, but for most applications it is relatively rapid pressure changes that are important, such as when the integrity of the container seals or container walls are breached, which might occur during an attempted robbery or break-in for instance.
  • the container may be formed with a double-skinned container wall that defines an enclosed space that is maintained at a pressure differential relatively to either or both the inside and the outside of the container, the security mechanism being adapted to activate in the event that the either pressure differential varies, within a predetermined time, by an amount greater than a predetermined variation value.
  • the invention includes a method of handling valuables in transit using a secure container according to any one of the preceding claims, the method including the steps of locating the valuables within the container, closing the container and creating a pressure differential between the interior and the exterior of the container.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a secure container according to this invention
  • Figure 2 is a side elevation of the secure container of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 3 is a section on a line B - B in Figure 4;
  • Figure 4 is a plan view of the secure container of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 5 is a section on a line A - A in Figure 2;
  • Figure 6 is a diagrammatic exploded perspective view of the secure container of Figures 1 to 5;
  • Figure 7 is a perspective view of the secure container of the second embodiment of the invention.
  • Figure 8 is a side elevation of the secure container of Figure 7;
  • Figure 9 is a section on a line C - C in Figure 8.
  • Figure 10 is a diagrammatic exploded perspective view of the secure container of Figures 7 to 9.
  • a retailer or other cash receiver deposits cash through a cash acceptance device or terminal into a cash container, such as a tamper evident bag.
  • a cash container such as a tamper evident bag.
  • the cash container is then transferred to a cross pavement carrier that can be used to transport the cash container to a cash in transit vehicle, where the cash container or tamper evident bag is removed from the cross pavement carrier and dropped into a drop safe on-board the vehicle.
  • the secure container 10 of the first embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figures 1 to 6 as comprising an outer casing made up of two interengageable half shells including a lid shell 12 and a body shell 14.
  • the secure container includes a security mechanism including a pair of dye packs 16 and a dye pack detonator (not shown) that is activated automatically in an alarm situation.
  • the lid shell 12 is formed with a peripheral groove 8 that defines a housing for a compressible gasket 20 and the body shell 14 includes a peripheral flange 22 that is shaped complementally to the gasket housing 18.
  • the flange 22 fits within the gasket housing 18.
  • the container 10 includes means (not shown) partially to evacuate the interior of the container 10.
  • the evacuation means may be provided by the use of flexible half shells 12, 14 which can be squeezed together to expel air out of the container 10 past the gasket seal 20.
  • the half shells 12, 14 are then released, they will tend to flex back to their un-squeezed state, but, since the gasket 20 prevents the ingress of air, a partial vacuum will be created within the container 10.
  • An alternative is to use a suction pump and a one way valve (not shown) on the container 10 through which the air in the container can be suctioned out.
  • the flange 22 presses into the gasket housing 20 to compress the gasket 18, thereby enhancing the air seal formed by the gasket 20.
  • the container 10 is illustrated with a pack of banknotes 26 in the cash hold within the container 10.
  • the secure container security mechanism includes a dye pack detonator that is adapted to activate in an alarm situation, so that the dye in the dye packs 16 may be projected into the money pack 26.
  • one such alarm situation is a sudden loss of vacuum.
  • any such vacuum loss will invariably indicate an attempted robbery or break-in during the course of which the perpetrators have either compromised the integrity of the seal constituted by the gasket 20 or the integrity of the container walls (the half shells 12, 14), thereby allowing the ingress of air into the interior of the container 10.
  • the container 10 therefore includes on-board programmable logic means (not shown) and a pressure sensor (not shown) adapted to sense the pressure within the container.
  • the sensor applies an alarm signal to the programmable logic means in the event that the sensor detects a critical pressure variation within the container 10.
  • a critical variation is a variation greater than a predetermined value, such as pressure equalisation or near equalisation with outside air pressure for instance.
  • the container 110 is provided with hollow top and side walls.
  • the container walls are double-skinned, each wall comprising an inner and an outer skin 102, 104.
  • the top, bottom and side walls of the body shells 1 12, 1 14 are double-skinned, much like a vacuum or THERMOSTM flask.
  • the enclosed hollow wall space 106 defined by the skins 102, 104 is maintained at a pressure differential relatively to both the inside of the container 1 10 (after evacuation thereof in use) and the outside of the container 110 (normal air pressure) to provides an extra layer of security.
  • the hollow wall space 106 is filled with an open-celled honeycomb material that provides internal strength, improves wall stiffness and prevents the walls from collapsing under the internal vacuum of the hollow wall space 106.
  • the container 110 includes a security mechanism including a pair of dye packs 116 and a dye pack detonator (not shown) that is activated automatically in an alarm situation.
  • the container 110 includes a pressure sensor (not shown) that is adapted to sense the pressure within the wall space.
  • the sensor applies an alarm signal to the programmable logic means in the event that the sensor detects a critical pressure variation within the hollow wall space 106.
  • the lid and body shells 1 12, 1 14 are formed with peripheral grooves 1 18 on their mating faces, the grooves 118 defining housings for compressible gaskets 120.
  • the container 1 10 also includes means (not shown) partially to evacuate the interior of the container 1 10, such as a suction pump and a one way valve (not shown) on the container 1 10 through which the air in the container can be suctioned out.
  • means partially to evacuate the interior of the container 1 10, such as a suction pump and a one way valve (not shown) on the container 1 10 through which the air in the container can be suctioned out.
  • a series of locks 124 are provided to prevent opening of the container 110 after loss of vacuum.
  • a pack of banknotes 126 is illustrated in the cash hold within the container 110.
  • the container security mechanism includes a dye pack detonator (not shown) that is adapted to activate in an alarm situation, so that the dye in the dye packs 116 may be projected into the money pack 126.
  • a sudden loss of vacuum from the hollow wall space 106 constitutes an alarm situation additional to vacuum loss from the interior of the container 110.
