  • Patent number: 4926762
    Abstract: A relatively lightweight safe is provided in two embodiments with both embodiments being structured using nearly identical principles. The first embodiment is trapezoidal in shape to take advantage of the trapezoidal shaped space behind the hinged, bench-style seats of pickup trucks. The second embodiment is generally rectangular in shape and is adapted to be hidden underneath a removable dining bench-style seat or a bed of a recreational vehicle. The box-like housings of both embodiments are manufactured of a 12 gauge thick steel sheet metal. Around the hinged access door of each embodiment is a framework of steel tubing serving to provide a reinforced location to mount the door hinge and to provide reinforcement around the locked door. Each door and hinge is slightly recessed below the front surface of the steel tubing. Both embodiments use a combination lock mounted on the door for locking a door mounted lock handle assembly stationary.
