Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vandalproof cabinet comprising a housing which has a lockable door at at least one side, which door is for this purpose provided with locking means accessible through a keyhole.
  • Such a cabinet also called armoured cabinet, is often used for protecting vending machines and the like against vandalism in public buildings or in the street.
  • the cabinet for this purpose comprises a sturdy, usually steel housing which can be placed around the vending machine and which comprises a door at the front which may or may not be provided with a transparent window, which door can usually be closed with an espagnolette lock.
  • the door of the vending machine is normally closed so that the vending machine and its contents are continually adequately protected against theft, wilful damage, and other forms of vandalism, also when there is no sufficient supervision.
  • the door has an opening at the area of an operating panel and a delivery compartment of the vending machine, so that the vending machine nevertheless remains operational at all times.
  • the door is provided with locking means so that the door can be opened with a fitting key, whereby the vending machine becomes fully accessible for stocking up the machine and collecting the money present therein.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a vandalproof cabinet of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph in which the above disadvantage is counteracted.
  • a vandalproof cabinet of the kind mentioned in the opening paragraph is for this purpose characterized in that a lock protection device is securely connected to the door at the area of the keyhole, which device comprises a robust body provided with a through hole at the area of the keyhole and further provided with a cavity which extends substantially transversely to said through hole and also in said through hole, and in that said cavity comprises blocking means which in a first position block up the through hole and in a second position clear the through hole.
  • the keyhole of the cabinet is accessible via the through hole in the body only.
  • the keyhole i.e. the aperture mentioned above
  • the body itself is not or substantially not vulnerable to a crowbar or the like, so that the secure connection between the body and the door cannot be broken.
  • the cabinet according to the invention has proved itself resistant in practice to the most serious forms of vandalism and criminality encountered at the present time.
  • the blocking means comprise a solid body which lies enclosed between the bottom of the cavity on the one hand and fixation means on the other hand, which fixation means in the first position retain the body in the through hole and in the second positon release the body therefrom.
  • the body here ensures in the first position that the through hole is closed off and the keyhole is not accessible.
  • the body in a preferred embodiment of the cabinet according to the invention comprises a ball with a convex, cylindrical, at least curved surface, such that a drill has no effect thereon.
  • a further special embodiment of the cabinet according to the invention is characterized in that the fixation means comprise a cylinder lock which is accommodated in the cavity with sliding fit, and in that the cavity extends laterally adjacent the through hole so as to receive therein a rotatable projection of the cylinder lock in said first position.
  • the cylinder lock itself may be of a conventional type. The projection thereof is introduced into the lateral extension of the cavity so that the cylinder lock and accordingly also the body are fixed in the through hole. When subsequently the projection is turned from the extension into the cylinder of the lock again, the cylinder lock can slide freely into the cavity and thus be brought into the second position, in which the body is removed from the through hole, and the keyhole is accessible again.
  • the vandalproof cabinet comprises a heavy metal housing 1 provided at the front with a lockable door 2, which is for this purpose fitted with an espagnolette lock of which a rod 3 projects from the door 2 at the upper and the lower side in the closed state, entering respective mating receptacles in the bottom and roof of the cabinet 1.
  • the rod 3 is hidden in a shaft in the double-walled door 2 and is accordingly not accessible from the outside.
  • the espagnolette lock can be operated through a keyhole in the door 2.
  • the door 2 is provided with an impact-resistant window 20, which may or may not be associated with a mesh, to render visible a vending machine (not shown) accommodated in the cabinet 2.
  • a lock protection device 4 is fitted on the door 2 at the area of the keyhole.
  • the lock protection device 4 is shown in more detail in Figs. 2 and 3 in cross-section in a first, closed and a second, open position, respectively.
  • the lock protection device 4 comprises a robust body, made of hardened steel in this case, and is provided at the area of the keyhole with a through hole 5 through which the keyhole can be reached by a key.
  • a cavity 6 extends substantially transversely to the through hole 5 in the body, issuing into the lower side of the body in this example, and traversing the through hole 5 at the opposed side 61.
  • the cavity 6 comprises blocking means in the form of a solid ball 7 which lies enclosed between the bottom 61 of the cavity 6 on the one hand and fixation means in the form of a cylinder lock 8 on the other hand.
  • the cylinder lock 8 slides practically without clearance in the cavity 6.
  • the cylinder lock In the first position drawn in Fig. 2, the cylinder lock is closed so that a rotatable projection 9 thereof lies in a local lateral extension 62 of the cavity 6 present adjacent the through hole 5.
  • the cylinder lock 8 is fixed in the cavity 6 in this position, so that the lock 8 keeps the ball 7 in the through hole 5 and the keyhole is no longer accessible.
  • the lock 8 is brought into the open position drawn in Fig. 3 where the projection 9 enters the lock 8, so that the lock 8 can slide freely in the cavity 6.
  • the lock 8 is pulled in outward direction, whereby the ball 7 drops from the through hole 5 under the influence of gravity, thus exposing the keyhole.
  • a locking pin 10 is arranged in the body 4 at the end of the cavity 6, shown in projection in the Figure.
  • a round ball has the advantage, as has an alternative body with a convex, cylindrical, at least curved surface, that a drill is incapable, or at least substantially incapable of attacking it, so that the through hole cannot be readily drilled open so as to force an entrance to the keyhole.
  • the invention offers an effective protection of a keyhole through the placement of a lock protection device in front of it, preventing the lock with which the keyhole is associated from being forced open from the outside.
