Description

Tragbarer SicherheitsbehälterPortable security container

The invention relates to a portable security container for storing objects, in particular valuables.

Security containers are used to store objects, in particular valuables, and protect the owner of such security containers against unauthorized access by third parties to the items stored therein. In order to prevent easy access to the objects, both the housing and a closure are solid and reinforced to at least complicate or even prevent an opening of the containment. For this purpose, containers and closures made of multi-layered and difficult to drill steel are used. Such security containers are extremely heavy and difficult to transport due to their rectangular or square shape. Such security containers are mostly used stationary and thus can not be taken or only with great difficulty traveling. In addition, it is immediately apparent that this is a security container, which increases the risk of theft.

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a portable security container such as a travel vault, which allows safe storage of items, in particular valuables, unobtrusive in appearance and preferably is easily formed.

This object is achieved by a portable security container, which is transportable by the user's hand or on the body of the user and having a tubular housing with a sleeve-shaped wall and a frontally disposed on the wall floor, wherein an opening opposite the bottom, through which the interior of the housing is accessible, can be closed with a safety lock and with a lid, through which the safety closure can be covered, which forms in particular the bottom opposite the bottom end face. Such a portable security container has the advantage that is created by a tubular shape with the bottom and the frontal lid a deviating from the characteristic vaults basic shape, so that from the outside is not immediately recognizable that it is a security container. This may in particular be the case if this security container is covered with a decor, so that the impression of a bag, a luggage, a scroll or a poster roll arises. In addition, this tube shape of the housing has the advantage that manipulation from the outside are difficult. Furthermore, a compact design can be created by this tubular shape, which is also reduced in weight compared to conventional rectangular or square basic shapes of security containers. As a result, this portable security container is suitable as a travel vault, for example in the form of a piece of luggage, in particular hand luggage. Such portable security containers are not intended for fixed installation.

The sleeve-shaped wall and / or the bottom can be double or multi-walled. This increases the security against unauthorized opening or separation from the outside.

The sleeve-shaped wall and / or the bottom has at least one outer wall and an inner wall, which are preferably formed from an impact-resistant plastic. As a result, manipulation from the outside, such as a whipping or hammering, be made more difficult. In addition, the use of an impact-resistant plastic has the advantage that it is easily compared to container walls made of steel or cast materials. Polycarbonate can preferably be used here.

The multi-walled floor and / or the wall have at least one cavity, wherein the at least one cavity of the sleeve-shaped wall and the cavity of the floor are in communication with each other and are poured together by a single- or multi-component plastic filling. By jointly pouring the at least one cavity of the bottom and the wall with a plastic filling a compact, secure and firm connection between the bottom and the sleeve-shaped housing can be created, so that a quasi one-piece housing is formed. Through the use of a one- or multi-component plastic filling, a simple filling of the cavity with a subsequent self-curing of the plastic filling can be made possible. In this case, a two-component synthetic resin mixture is preferably used. After curing, the bottom and the tubular housing portion or the wall are so stable that a cutting or boring is almost impossible.

A further preferred embodiment of the housing provides that at least one layer of a liner made of a non-woven plastic, plastic fabric or Kunststoffgewirke is arranged on an inner facing the cavity inside the outer or inner wall of the sleeve-shaped wall and the bottom, which of a protective layer or Protective cover is covered, which forms a gap with the inside of the outer wall or the inner wall. This additional introduction of an insert made of a plastic fleece, plastic fabric or plastic knitted fabric allows further complication when cutting or sawing and drilling the housing, as cutting a tool can be caught in the plastic fleece, plastic fabric or plastic knitted fabric and brought to a standstill.

A preferred embodiment provides that the insert is made of an aramid carbon fiber fabric. This represents a high strength resistant fabric.

The one- or multi-component plastic filling is preferably introduced in the between the protective sheath and the insert-free cavity of the sleeve-shaped wall and / or the bottom. This can be a multilayer wall structure for the sleeve-shaped wall or the floor given.

A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the plastic filling with particles or granules of an abrasive, in particular carbide, is filled. As a result, when attempting to cut or saw with cutting the tool, they wear out quickly and become dull.

A further preferred embodiment of the containment provides that in the space and / or in the insert-free cavity one or more reinforcing elements, in particular made of high-strength steel, are introduced. These reinforcing elements may for example be designed as reinforcing rods which extend along the sleeve-shaped wall. These reinforcing elements can also be inserted in the ground and extend over the surface thereof. Alternatively, such reinforcing elements may be incorporated circumferentially or helically in the sleeve-shaped wall or the floor.

At a facing the interior of the inner wall of the sleeve-shaped wall, a holder is arranged, which engages the safety catch in a closed position and engages behind the holder with locking bolts. As a result, the retaining ring is not accessible from the outside in the closed position of the security closure in order to prevent manipulation.

A further preferred embodiment of the security container provides that the security closure is completely removable from the opening and removable from the sleeve-shaped wall. This allows maximum accessibility of the opening for introducing objects, in particular valuables, into the interior space.

The security lock is preferably designed as a number combination lock or as an electric combination lock. Alternatively, a fingerprint lock or a key lock can be provided. These embodiments correspond to vault doors and can be user-selected.

Preferably, the security closure may include at least one insert. In particular, the at least one insert is formed from an aramid carbon fiber fabric, so that the same effect can be achieved in analogy to the advantageously provided aramid carbon fiber fabric in the sleeve-shaped wall and / or the bottom.

In the floor, in the housing and / or in the interior of the floor and preferably separated by an intermediate wall to the interior of a location transmitter, in particular a GPS transmitter, arranged. This has the advantage that in the event of theft, the position of the containment is traceable in order to locate it quickly, thereby shortening the time to attempt unauthorized opening.

Preferably, the portable security container is designed as an outwardly completely closed unit through the housing and the lid, so that optically the function as a safe or security container is not recognizable, but rather can be configured as a bag or luggage.

The invention and further advantageous embodiments and developments thereof are described in more detail below with reference to the examples shown in the drawings and explained. The features to be taken from the description and the drawings can be applied individually according to the invention individually or in combination in any combination. Show it:

In Figure 1, a portable security container 11 is shown in perspective, which comprises a tubular housing 12, on one end side of a security closure 14 is provided. The tubular housing 12 has a removable lid 16 which is attachable to a housing portion 17, whereby the safety lock 14 is covered and the tubular housing 12 visually appears as a closed cylinder in appearance. On an outer side of the tubular housing 12 fastening elements 19, in particular retaining tabs may be provided to attach a carrying strap or strap to it. Likewise, one or more handles may be attached thereto. Alternatively, the housing may also be designed as a trolley. As a result, the security container 11 can be carried in a simple manner, so that this security container can serve in particular as a travel vault.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the containment 11 in FIG. On the removable cover 16 opposite a bottom 21 is provided, which is preferably formed in the shape and contour equal to the outside of the lid 16. The lid 16 is arranged for example by a clamping and / or latching connection on the receiving portion 17. Alternatively, external closures or interlocks may be provided. Also, between the lid 16 and the receiving portion 17, a screw cap can be provided. In addition, a connection between the housing 12 and the lid 16 may be provided so that it is captive. When closed, the safety container 11 can also take the form of a can with a removable lid. The case and lid may be covered with a decor to accentuate the function as an accessory or baggage.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic sectional illustration of the multi-shaped housing 12 with a safety closure 14 removed. The safety closure 14 is preferably completely removable from an opening 22 of the tubular housing 12, so that an inner space 23 of the tubular housing 12 is easily accessible.

The housing 12 comprises a sleeve-shaped wall 24, at one end of the bottom 21 is fixed, so that a one-piece housing from the bottom 21 and the sleeve-shaped wall 24 is formed.

The wall 24 and the bottom 21 are preferably double-walled and comprise an inner wall 25 and an outer wall 26, which form a cavity 27 lying between them. The inner and

outer walls

25, 26 are preferably made of impact-resistant plastic, in particular polycarbonate. According to a first embodiment, the cavity 27 may be filled by a one- or multi-component plastic filling, in particular a two-component synthetic resin mixture.

A preferred construction provides that an inner side of the inner wall 25 facing the cavity 27 is surrounded by one or more layers of a liner 28, which consist of a plastic fleece, plastic fabric, in particular an aramid carbon fiber fabric. In this position or layers of the insert 28, a protective sheath 29 is applied. Subsequently, in the remaining cavity 27 between the protective sheath 29 and an inner side of the outer wall 26, the plastic filling is introduced. This structure can also be provided from outside to inside, that is, the insert 28 rests against the inside of the outer wall 26.

In addition, one or more further stiffening elements can be introduced on, between or under the insert 28. These may be, for example, bars or band-shaped elements which consist of high-strength steel or the like. The cavity 27 of the bottom 21 and cavity 27 of the sleeve-shaped wall 24 is preferably cast together. Particles or granules of abrasive, in particular carbide, can advantageously also be added to the plastic filling.

At the opening 22 facing the end of the sleeve-shaped wall 24 of the receiving portion 17 is inserted into the cavity 27 and fixedly connected thereto. A retaining element 31, in particular a retaining ring, bears against the inner wall on a surface facing the interior and is preferably firmly connected to the receiving section 17, wherein the fastening means penetrates the retaining element 31 and the inner wall 25. As a result, a secure and firm connection of the retaining element 31 to the tubular housing 12 may be provided in order to prevent removal of the safety closure 14 from the housing 12.

FIG. 4 shows a schematically enlarged sectional view of the safety closure 14 in a closed position 32 in the tubular housing 12. The safety closure 14 has an abutment shoulder 32, which engages on an outer side of the retaining element 31, locking bolts 34 of the safety fastener 14 engaging behind the retaining element 31. This attachment of the retaining element 31 on the inside of the inner wall 25 has the advantage that the double-walled construction of the sleeve-shaped wall 24 is completely preserved and is not weakened by engagement openings for the locking bolt.

The receiving portion 17 has an annular portion positioned between the inner wall 25 and the outer wall 26. Furthermore, an outer sleeve section is provided, which extends in the axial direction at least to the extent that an outermost end face of the safety lock 14 is covered. As a result, at the same time a protection of the closure is given, and further protrudes an inner wall of the sleeve portion to close to the abutment shoulder 33 of the safety closure, so that the attachment or attachment of a tool is prevented.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic view from the front onto the security closure 14 and in FIG. 6 a schematic side view of the security closure 14. The security lock 14 comprises a combination lock. Alternatively, a key lock can be provided as a further mechanical embodiment or as an electrical embodiment, an electric combination lock or a fingerprint lock. The locking bolts 34 are preferably made of hard steel.

FIG. 7 shows a schematic sectional view of the portable security container 11 in a form of use with objects 36 introduced therein. These articles 36, in particular valuables 36, may be jewelery or watches which may be arranged on a receiving element 37. The interior 23 of the tubular housing 12 is preferably provided with a lining, such as leather, synthetic leather, fabric or the like, to protect the articles 36 from damage. Also, the housing 12 and the lid 16 may be provided with a decor or a panel that are adaptable to the wishes of the customer.

In the case of the embodiment of the containment 11 shown in FIG. 7, for example, a locating transmitter 38 is mounted on the bottom 21, which is arranged in an intermediate bottom 39, which is preferably removable.

It is understood that the dimensions of the tubular housing 12 may differ from the dimensions shown in the figures. The security containers described above are not intended for fixed installation in an object.

All of the aforementioned features are essential to the invention, individually or in combination.
