Definitions

  • This invention relates to a security device.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a security means to reduce significantly the ability to remove a safe by those means briefly discussed above.
  • a secondary objective is to reduce the degree of damage to the area surrounding such safes during any attempt to remove it.
  • a security means comprises at least one anchor means for affixing to the ground or securing to a floor adjacent and below the location of a safe, a pivot means on said at least one anchor means, at least one elongate support means pivotally secured to said pivot means on the at least one anchor means, said elongate support means to be attached to the safe.
  • the at least one elongate support means is provided with a pivotal connection to be secured to the safe.
  • a security means comprises at least one anchor means for affixing to the ground or securing to a floor adjacent and below the location of a safe, a pivot means on said at least one anchor means, at least one elongate support means pivotally secured to said pivot means, said at least one elongate support means lying telescopically within an outer encasing means to be secured to said safe, and there being means to prevent the detachment of the encasing means from the elongate support means.
  • the outer encasing means is provided with a pivot to be secured to the safe.
  • a second pivotal connection as between the elongate support means and the anchor means lying at substantially 90° to said pivotal securing of the elongate support means to said pivot means.
  • two such security means may be provided, one to lie to either side of a safe and where the respective outer encasing means is secured to a respective side wall of said safe, where only a single pivotal connection is required as between each elongate support and its respective anchor means.
  • the safe remains attached to the anchor means with the two-fold result that the safe cannot be readily gripped and removed by the equipment, and the controlled and predetermined direction of movement of the safe is such as to restrict and minimise damage internally of the building.
  • the wall or window above the safe is attacked, and the heavy equipment used to pull the safe, again there is the pivotal movement of the elongate support about its pivot and attendant pivoting of the safe about the elongate support until the safe, still attached to the anchor, lies on the floor.
  • the thieves have the additional task confronting them of attempting to remove the support from the pivot or the safe from the support to which it is attached.
  • the or each security means has a box-like elongate support member provided with a commensurately box- like encasing means, with the or each box-like support being provided with a pivot pin to co-operate with a pivot housing secured, such as by welding, to a mounting plate, the mounting plate being attached to the anchor, such as by welding.
  • the size relationship of the two box-like members is such as to provide a space between adjacent co-operating side walls to enable a first plate member to be provided secured towards the upper end of the support member and extend towards the co- operating face of the encasing means, and a second plate member to be provided secured towards the lower end of the side face of the encasing means and extend towards the co ⁇ operating side face of the support member, such that sliding of the encasing means on the support member in a direction to remove it from the support member results in a jamming action between the respective plate members to prevent the detachment of the encasing means from the support member.
  • the elongate support means or the encasing means may be secured to the sides of the safe by welding, it is preferred to provide a pivotal connection.
  • a pivotal connection Whilst the elongate support means or the encasing means may be secured to the sides of the safe by welding, it is preferred to provide a pivotal connection.
  • any attempt to use the heavy equipment to twist the safe to break its connection to the encasement means simply results in the safe pivoting about the pivotal connections to the support or the encasing means.
  • At least one yieldable leg member can be provided, or alternatively two, one to either side of the innermost bottom edge of the safe and secured to the ground.
  • any direct attack over the height of a safe resulting in a rearward pivoting of the safe results in the legs yielding in controlled manner.
  • thieves may attempt to break the safe free by ramming it directly with the heavy equipment attempting to push it back into the building to break it free from its anchor means. It is therefore desirable to provide spring- loaded detents located towards the upper end of the or each support member and co-operating recesses formed in opposite co-operating faces of the encasing means, towards the lower end.
  • the spring-loaded detents are brought into register with the co-operating recesses to lock the encasing means to the supports.
  • a spring- loaded wedge member may be provided, internally of the encasing means, to co-operate with an internal face on the wall of the encasing member.
  • any force applied to the safe attempting to pull the encasing means up the box-like supports causes the wedge member to pick-up on the said face to provide a progressively increasing resistance to movement of the encasing means with respect to the supports, whilst at the same time defending the pivotal connections between the supports and the anchors, and (when present) the pivotal connections between the safe and the encasement means against shock loading.

  • a security means for a safe 1 is formed by providing the safe with either a single anchor means 2 to one side ( Figure 1) or two anchor means 2, one to each side ( Figure 2), one or both of which is to be securely affixed to the ground, such as by security bolts 3 or by embedding in concrete.
  • a pivot location member 4 Upstanding from the or each anchor means 2 is a pivot location member 4 to which is pivotally secured an elongate support member 5 in telescopic engagement with an outer casing 6, which casing is pivotally attached to the safe.
  • any attack such as by what is currently generally referred to as "ram raiding" where heavy equipment, such as, for example, in the form of diggers or earth removing equipment, or lorries and chains, is used to attempt to knock or pull the safe from its mounting behind such as a cash dispenser, simply causes the pivoting of the safe about its connection to the outer encasing member 6 and the pivoting of the support member 5 about the anchor making it difficult to break the connection as between the safe and the security means and to cause delay to the thieves of a time scale that can substantially be guaranteed to be greater than the response time of law enforcement agencies in arriving at the scene of crime from the activation of alarms that are ordinarily attendant to installations such as cash dispensing equipment.

  • the pivot 11 lies within a housing 14 attached to a boss 15 secured between the walls of the outer encasing member 6, and the exposed upper surface of the boss is protected against attack by burning by the provision of an overlaying shell of stainless steel.
  • Both of the support member and the encasing member are preferably formed from carbon manganese steel, and the outer encasing member may be overlaid by plates 17 of austenitic stainless steel, to provide combined strength and resistance to burning.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de sécurité, destiné notamment à ce type de coffres qui sont habituellement combinés aux distributeurs automatiques de billets de banque et aux coffres de nuit. Ces coffres peuvent subir une attaque, appelée généralement attaque à main armée, lors de laquelle on utilise un équipement lourd tel que, par exemple, des excavateurs mécaniques motorisés, pour percer un mur ou une vitrine derrière laquelle se trouve un coffre, et enlever le coffre pour le déposer dans un véhicule en attente. Le but de l'invention est de produire un dispositif de sécurité capable de résister à ce type d'attaque sur une échelle de temps appréciable. On a réalisé cet objectif en élaborant une construction comprenant au moins un élément d'ancrage (2) se fixant au sol ou à un plancher adjacent, et au-dessous de l'emplacement d'un coffre (1), un élément pivot (4) placé sur cet élément d'ancrage (2), au moins un élément support allongé (5) fixé pivotant à l'élément pivot se trouvant sur l'élément d'ancrage (2), cet élément support allongé (5) étant fixé au coffre (1). De préférence, chaque élément support allongé (5) possède un élément de boîtier (6) externe, combiné de façon télescopique, ainsi qu'un élément rattaché empêchant le retrait du boîtier externe (6) de l'élément support allongé (5).
