Abstract: A method and an arrangement pertaining to an alarm-equipped valuable item storage space (1) includes at least one device (10-13) for the storage of valuable documents, banknotes or the like, in which a destructive agent (61) is intended to destroy the valuable documents (100) in response to a burglary attempt and/or manipulative action. In conjunction with the need to destroy the valuable documents, a destructive agent container (60,63) is opened so as to cause the destructive agent to move into a collecting vessel (50) within which a valuable document collecting device (30) is at least partially situated. The volume of a destructive agent is such as to enable the collecting vessel (50) to accommodate the destructive agent (61) in the absence of overflow. The destructive agent container (60,63) is placed above the collecting vessel (50) so that the destructive agent (61) will run or fall down into the collecting vessel when an alarm is triggered.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for opening a container for the transportation of valuable objects or valuable documents, for example. The container (1) includes a first electronic unit (2), which allows deactivation of an alarm system and/or opening of the container. A first key (10) required to open the container includes a second electronic unit (12), which communicates with the first electronic unit (2) such as to initiate opening of the container. There is used a stationarily disposed second key (20) which together with the first key (10) provides the complete code-set (ABCD) required to initiate deactivation and/or opening of the container (1). The stationarily disposed second key (20) includes a third electronic unit (22) which contains a subset (CD) of the complete code-set (ABCD) required to initiate deactivation and/or opening of the container (1).

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for defacing and/or destroying items stored in an alarmed value space (30), wherein there is used a piercable or openable container (80) that contains a defacing agent/destructive agent (C). When an alarm is triggered, the defacing agent/destructive agent (C) is distributed in the value space (30) while, at the same time, reducing the combined volume of the container (80) and the value space (30). The arrangement (50) includes a container (80) which contains defacing agent/destructive agent (C) and an element (62, 63) for piercing or opening the container (80) in conjunction with triggering of the alarm. The arrangement (50) also includes a spring activated press element or press plate (71) and an element (75, 76) for causing the press element/press plate (71) and the piercing element or opening element (62, 63) to move in response to triggering of the alarm. The arrangement can be used effectively in all working directions relative to the value space.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method and to an arrangement applicable to a container or to a chamber, for instance to a security chamber for valuable articles. The container/chamber(20) has a casing or shell (10) in which an explosive substance or a burstable item is housed. The arrangement has a detector (50, 50?) at the shell (10) for detecting ambient temperature or shell temperature. The explosive substance is detonated or the burstable item is depressurised to prevent bursting of the outer casing/shell (10)of the container or the chamber at a predetermined temperature limit value. The detector (50, 50?) for detecting the ambient temperature or the shell temperature is disposed essentially across the whole surface of the shell/casing (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet element (10) that has integrated therewith an alarm mat (2) and that is intended particularly for security containers and security spaces. The alarm mat (2) is comprised of light-conducting and/or current-conducting filaments or like devices. The alarm mat (2) includes a base mat (2a) and a supplemental mat (2b). The base mat (2a) has an essentially looped filament pattern of the kind, for instance, obtained with knitting or crocheting. The supplemental mat (2b) has a regular or irregular filament pattern. The base mat (2a) and the supplemental mat (2b) are tightly positioned together to form an alarm mat, wherewith the filament pattern of the base mat (2a) and the filament pattern of the supplemental mat (2b) deviate from totally coincidental overlap. The invention also relates to the use of the sheet element (10) as casing material in a container (20) or in a space intended for the storage of theft-attractive objects or the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and to a method for rendering useless a weapon (100) that includes a breechblock, in the event of an unauthorized appropriation of the weapon. The arrangement (1) includes an expander (10) which has a cavity (13) or a recess and which is intended for insertion into the box (101) accommodating the breechblock of the weapon. An explosive substance (43) is disposed in the expander cavity (13) or recess. The explosive substance (43) is fired in response to an alarm being triggered, therewith deforming the breechblock accommodating space (101).

Abstract: Method and device (10) for marking objects (100), particularly for marking objects in banknote cassettes (1) or in other valuable object storage spaces. There is used a container (60) which can be punctured or otherwise opened and which is placed adjacent the object/objects (100) to be marked. The device includes means (13) which is caused to puncture or otherwise open the container (60) when necessary, so as to enable the content (61) of the container to come into contact with the object/objects (100) and therewith mark said object/objects and/or render the same useless. The marking device (10) and the container (60) fitted thereto are placed in the upper region of the space (1) so that the container is able to come into contact with said object/objects (100) at least partially with the aid of gravity. The puncturing means/opening means (13) is released from an active rest position when an alarm is triggered, so as to slit or otherwise open the container (60) in a guillotine fashion.

Abstract: A device and a method for rendering useless a weapon, such as a rifle, that includes a barrel, in the event of the weapon being taken or manipulated unlawfully. The device includes a rod having a cavity or bore. The rod is adapted for insertion into the barrel of the weapon, and an explosive charge is placed in the cavity of the rod. When an alarm is triggered, the explosive agent is activated and the rod and the barrel are deformed.
