Description

A METHOD USING A MODULAR EQUIPMENT TO BUILD A SAFETY CONTAINER IN AN ARBITRARY FORM, A MODULAR EQUIPMENT EMPLOYED TO CARRY OUT THE METHOD AND A SAFETY CONTAINER COMPRISING ONE OR SEVERAL MODULES The present invention relates to a method that uses a modular equipment to construct a safety container with an arbitrary shape, a modular equipment used to carry out the method and a safety container comprising one or more of these modules. To keep the excess of theft reasonably low, the insurance company requires a secure and better documented storage of the property. Secure storage is also in the interest of the leasing and financial companies, as they are the holders of the property during the lease or acquisition of property to payments. Also, an increase in fraud when property loss is reported is connected to the low risk of being detected due to scarce police resources. For a company it is important that a planned daily activity be carried out without interruption, which would easily be the case if the company is the victim of theft. In certain companies, such as construction and other types of contract work, this is of particular importance since other subcontractors often depend on certain tasks being performed by others without stipulated time limits to enable their execution. own work at the right time. In addition to this, the construction site is a temporary workplace where tools and materials have to be stored safely. Often the tools and machines on a construction site are of the type that can be used for criminal operations. Also, for this reason it is important that they be stored safely. Previously, the term professional thieves meant a group of dishonest people who, with long experience and high skill could break into secured spaces and legally take the property of others. At present there are crime syndicates that operate internationally as well as terrorist organizations that have access to advanced equipment, such as plasma lances and diamond cutting tools. These groups are kept informed about where the items or products that are especially susceptible to theft are stored and in which way these items or products are protected.

Unfortunately, it has been shown that a surveillance with property personnel has a deterrent effect in an ever increasing measure. At present, it can be expected that this surveillance personnel will undoubtedly be disarmed or eliminated to obtain a property. In the struggle for honesty and for providing protection against sabotage to everyday work, more protection is required to make the irruption difficult, which becomes costly for society. However, this increase in prices must be compared with the costs involved in burglaries and scams or swindles. Companies, not to mention the entire society, will probably find it profitable to invest in theft protection with burglary which is safer and more difficult to circumvent. It is not realistic to have a burglary protection that is 100% safe. In this way it is only plausible to make unauthorized access to a property storage site much more difficult, such that the effort and tools required to perform this access are so repellent and so advanced that very few people can put this into practice and carry out a robbery within a reasonable time. If the exposure of occasions for theft is diminished by a more secure storage of the property, the cost to the society for these robberies and frauds will also decrease and at the same time the prerequisite of a criminality will deteriorate "profitable". The main objective of the present invention is, at a reasonable cost, to obtain a method that uses modular equipment to construct a security container, in an arbitrary manner, whose purpose is to build an unauthorized access also with advanced tools equipment. The containers or containers mentioned herein are such that they can be handled and driven with moderate effort. Therefore, each piece is proportionally easy to handle, if necessary with a mobile forklift equipment. On the other hand, the container or container is constructed by the assembled parts of the modular equipment, besides being more difficult to break into practice, impossible to move. The container or storage container according to the present invention can be manufactured in different sizes and safety classes, and that will be described below as much as a somewhat smaller and simpler container for storing for example building tools and accessories, such as a Larger and heavier container to store, for example, tool equipment, weapons and / or ammunition, more bulky. In this way, with the invention a modular system in the form of a construction equipment is obtained in which both the size of each module that forms part of the finished container and the level of security thereof, can be selected according to the requirements. Another object of the invention is to obtain a modular system where the parts can be constructed of different materials and which, according to their selected positions in the part or piece, will make it extremely difficult to break or burst with methods and tools of common thieves. Furthermore, another object of the invention is to obtain a protected lock device for the storage container that is very difficult to overcome also from the inside of the container. The objectives of the invention set forth above are obtained by a modular equipment, a container and by a lock device and concrete given the characterizing parts set forth in the claims. The method that uses a primary module of different form and safety class, where each part of the equipment is dimensioned with respect to the extension and weight that are manually manageable when using a mobile forklift equipment, with a reasonable supply of personnel and machinery It will be possible to build safe storage containers for machines, equipment and material at a temporary worksite. When at the same time, the assembled container may comprise one, two, three or more basic modules, preferably as a solid, open, one-piece molded concrete construction with a square or rectangular cross-section, after assembly of sections for floor, ceiling and walls, and when the container thus closed and secured by its door section, it does not show any narrow openings accessible from the outside or points of attack for tools, for example a chisel for corners or the like, at the same time as the container weight does not allow simple removal of the entire container, the container will provide a very good protection for the property that is stored there. By having each part of the container with more than a certain weight, equipped with handles and / or hooks for an external connection of forklift means, these handles and / or hooks have an intentionally limited strength and location, the advantage is that these handles and / or hooks can not be used to lift a finished assembled container, as this would be too heavy regardless of the use of several hooks in a lifting action. It is also possible to have these forklift means insertable in the container, when they are not used in this way, not accessible from the outside. By having parts in the door section, in a closed position thereof, projecting in and / or behind the adjacent side portions and in an interlocked position, with interlocking means projecting into the floor element and the top element, it would be very difficult to remove a door section, even if its flat hinge Place on and be able to handle from outside the container. By having the different parts / elements of the container filled with concrete, the advantage as well as superior weight of each part / element, is that special tool equipment must be used to overcome or break through the concrete. To make it even more difficult to saw through the concrete, metal covers on the inside and outside of the pieces and reinforcement wooden braces and / or pellets of pieces of wood / rubber are used in the concrete. With this, a concrete saw will tend to press and jam in an effort to cut through the saw. The presence of spars or scantlings, wood pellets and the rubber mixture in the concrete on all sides will also make it extremely difficult to cut through the concrete using a plasma lance. The weakening of the concrete when mixing the pellets and the pieces of rubber in it is not critical since the physical properties required by the combination and the placement of the selected material are obtained. The invention will now be described in connection with a pair of the embodiments shown, wherein: Figures 1a-1d show basic modules of different shapes that form part of the modular equipment for storage containers, Figure 2 is a side view, with a partially exploded portion of a side wall that is part of the modular equipment by an armored storage container, burglary proof and to ensure, with heavier and more robust parts in the modular equipment, Figure 3 shows the side wall in accordance with Figure 2 in a sectional view through the top, Figure 4 shows a front view of a door section for the storage container, Figure 5 shows a sectional view of the countersunk lock device, which is used in the storage container according to Figure 4, Figures 6 and 7 show a mechanism operated by a lock plunger for a container of storage in accordance with Figure 4. Figures 1a-1d show basic modules in a different form that form part of the modular equipment. In Figure 1a, the basic module has the outer shape of a cube. It is precisely the edge and corner portions materialized when casting in concrete with necessary reinforcement and thickness so that the safety class is obtained. This basic module is subsequently connected to ceiling elements, wall elements, ceiling elements and door module in a form that is obtained in connection with other modalities. In Figure 1b, the basic module has a rectangular shape and is twice as wide while the basic module according to Figure 1 c is twice as wide and in Figure 1d it is the basic module three times as long as wide . Here it should be noted carefully that these different basic modules can be combined according to the existing need. In this way, they can be used to create a necessary floor space by arranging several side-by-side modules. In this way, the modules of preference are mutually connected in the interior, ie the connection of the modules is hidden, preferably by the arrangement of through bolts. In Figure 2 a side view is illustrated with a partially exploded portion of a wall module 28 that forms part of the modular equipment of an alternate embodiment of an armored storage container, but here in a completely closed, heavier and more robust form with a higher security class. From Figure 2, it is described that the wall module 28 has several segments A and in Figure 3 there are illustrated interior and exterior wall elements 29, Which form part of the segments and rest against upper and lower profile beams B, C, where the distance means 31 are arranged between the wall elements 29, 30 and between which spars or scantlings 32 are placed and extend over the entire height of the module. The segments A are mutually welded and the width of each segment is chosen in such a way that the wall modules of varying standardized length are obtained by selecting a suitable quantity of segments A. In addition to the tie rods 32, bars of different standardized length are also provided. metal 33, 34, preferably reinforcing irons which also extend over the entire length of the wall module 28. With these metal bars it is very difficult to use for example, a rotary cutting machine or any other rotary tool to break through of a wall element.

From Figures 2 and 3, it is described that each profile of the segment A with the straps 32 inserted and with the metal bars 33, 34 arranged in the upper and lower profile beams B and C. From Figure 3, it is also described as the end portions of the wall module 28 are shaped to allow a secure and non-manipulable corner arrangement 35 (Figure 3) of a mounted container. For this purpose, one of the sides of the corner portion of the projecting mounting knob of the container 36 arranged and intended to insert into a suitably suitable notch in the corner portion of an adjacent wall module A '. By this corner arrangement 35, the connecting elements between the wall modules will be concealed for external influence. It is just through the excess of storage containers by entry through a properly opened door that it will be possible to disassemble the wall modules. The wall modules are bolted onto the lower concrete modules and the concrete modules for the roof are placed on the wall modules. The roof modules cover the door module and the wall modules completely and are bolted from the inside. The entrance to the storage container will be through the door, which is illustrated in a front view in Figure 4. Also in this embodiment, the door frame and the side edge of the door have a projection and a recess, allowing respectively that the lateral edge of the door is locked with obstruction in the door frame in a closed position of the door. In one embodiment of the invention, there are similar arrangements that from the inside cover the slot between the door and the door frame. In a closed position in Figure 4, an upper projecting mounting knob 36 is also illustrated in connection with a wall module D attached to the door opening of the storage container. Also, the door consists of segment A'- in this case two segments. Still further, the door module is constructed in the same manner as the wall module as mentioned above, ie it is filled with concrete and consumes a tie rod and metal bars or reinforcement bars. The door interlocks around the side wall elements and robust interlocking pistons are activated and project in recesses in the elements of the floor module and in the elements of the roof module. The lock for a storage container according to the present invention is illustrated in Figure 5 which is a sectional view through a recessed hole lock device D, connected to the articulation mechanism F (see also Figures 6 and 7) which in turn exert an influence on two robust lock pistons 38, 39, wherein one of them 38 projects in a recess in the bottom module of the container and the other 39 projects in a recess in the roof module of the container. container. Also, the lock and key mechanism employed here in this second embodiment may be of the type having a steel lock housing and wherein eccentric means interact on a latch piston also arranged in the lock housing to move this piston in or out of a recess in connection with a handle mechanism for locking or releasing this mechanism in connection with locking or releasing the pistons of the lock inside or outside the recess in the floor element and the roof element. The articulation mechanism F may also have a horizontally connected and connected plunger or lock means projecting within a half of the door and into a wall module. The articulation mechanism can also be configured as a ratchet mechanism, wherein gear supports are arranged to the plunger means and locking means vertically connected and, if necessary, horizontally. With extra high security for the storage container several different actuators may have the task of releasing one lock at a time, ie several actuators (also external - for example a security company) with assistance to release a security container according to the invention come to participate. Preferably, this can be done since a box lock or inlay with its own key, will cover the entrance of a main lock with reaming hole, which in turn has its own key with an extended shaft or arrow. To further increase security and make unauthorized access to the main lock more difficult, a collapsible mechanical cover or cover may be bent and secured in a cover position to the lock device. The invention is not restricted to the modalities described above, but modifications can be made within the scope of the following claims.
