Abstract: An attack-resistant window assembly that can be easily maintained without requiring the use of tools. The attack-resistant window assembly includes a slidable plate for securing the attack-resistant pane into the window assembly. The window assembly also has ballistic-resistant armor around the peripheral sides of the ballistic-resistant pane to prevent bullets from exiting the peripheral sides of the ballistic-resistant pane and coming into the space on the protected side of the window assembly.

Abstract: First and second frame sections are to be joined at a corner of a glazing. Each section has a front base piece, a rear base piece, and a glazing stop piece. The front base piece is anchored to a support structure of a building and has a glazing channel facing the safe side of the window, to receive therein the glazing. The glazing stop piece is secured to the front base piece and thereby holds the glazing in its channel. The rear base piece is secured to the front base piece and thereby laterally closes the frame section. The base pieces are shaped so that an end portion of the front base overlaps an end portion of the rear base and a number of fasteners are installed through these end portions to secure the base pieces to each other. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: An apparatus for reinforcing door jambs to prevent forced entry through the doorway by strengthening the composite materials of the door jamb with the addition of the apparatus, which is attached with threaded fasteners that go through the door jamb and are anchored into the framing studs. The device is made of 14 gauge ASTM, A-36, Mild Steel with holes through which the latching and locking mechanisms of the door may pass, as well as smaller beveled holes to pass screws through to attach the device to the door jamb and framing studs. The device is also formed so as to facilitate latching mechanism closure. This device can also be used to assist in the repair of damaged door jambs by holding together the damaged portions once they are placed back in position.

Abstract: A door bolt adjustment system for an open-jamb safe having a door jamb and a door bolt configured to extend behind the door jamb with a gap therebetween. The door bolt adjustment system generally comprises a substantially rigid door bolt adjuster, configured to be attached to the inside of the door jamb, and a displacement mechanism, configured to allow adjustment of the position of the door bolt adjuster so as to occupy the gap. The door bolt adjuster includes a flange for contacting a side of the extended safe door bolt, and when the adjuster occupies the gap, the flange is placed in position for secure contact with the extended door bolt, so as to accommodate the alignment of the door bolt.

Abstract: Security vault to protect valuable items. The vault has a redundant number of members which combine to deter the entry and subsequent attempted damage to or destruction of the vault. A body has an open end which is surrounded by a strength band connected to the body. A recess is defined between the strength band and the open end of the body. A door to the vault has open and closed positions and, in the closed position, an edge extension of the door enters into the recess. Rod loops are connected between the body and the strength band and act as locking members for complementary pawls which are mounted on the interior of the door.

Abstract: A hinge arrangement for a gaming device includes a hinge pivotally connecting a cabinet access door to a cabinet. The cabinet access door and the cabinet form a gap therebetween adjacent the hinge when the cabinet access door is closed, but the hinge forms a pocket-shaped barrier around the gap preventing unauthorized access through the gap into the interior of the cabinet. Further, an edge of the cabinet pivots into the pocket and engages a side of the pocket-shaped barrier when the cabinet access door is pivoted 90.degree. to the open position, thus preventing the cabinet access door from pivoting beyond 90.degree. damagingly into an adjacent gaming device.

Abstract: A floor safe apparatus has a polymer floor safe housing formed in one piece with an entry opening thereinto and has at least one storage self for supporting a storage container thereon formed into the side of the housing. The storage shelf has an exterior open area therearound for cement fill to lock the floor safe in place. A safe door frame is shaped to fit into the opening in the polymer safe housing and to a ledge formed in the housing and to be locked in place with threaded fasteners extending into a groove formed in the housing. The safe door is shaped to fit into the safe door frame for opening relative to the frame to form a watertight molded polymer floor safe housing having built-in storage compartments and a removable safe door. The molded housing can have a plurality of ridges for inserting partitioning members supported in the grooves of the ridges.

Abstract: On an attack-endangered side of members (1, 6) of a fixed frame and a sash frame mounted swingably therein, respective bombardment-inhibiting profiles (11, 12) with overlapping edge margins (11', 12') are provided. In the overlap region these safety profiles (11, 12) define a gap (13). Since the edge surfaces of the bombardment-inhibiting profiles (11, 12) which define the gap (13) are formed with respective ridges (4, 17) and grooves (15, 16) intermeshed with one another, the gap course is sinusoidal. This offers a high degree of security against shoot-through and break-in in the gap region of the door or of the window.

Abstract: A bulletproof door and door jamb construction includes a door jamb which includes a vertically and horizontally extending opening therein in an area where bullet shrapnel fragments can pass freely therethrough into the hollow interior of the door jamb so that the spent fragments lose their energy and do not enter the protected area behind the door by otherwise passing through the crack or space between the door and door jamb.

Abstract: A fire resistant, elevator hatchway door entrance for wall openings up to and including 10 feet in height, including first and second side jambs and a head jamb. Each side jamb includes a pair of upstanding, oppositely facing, metallic channel members dimensioned and coupled together to define both a structural box beam and a pocket for receiving the wall which defines the opening. The bight and one leg portion of one channel member define the jamb depth and reveal, respectively, of the side jamb, and the bight of the other channel member receives and shields an asociated J-strut at the wall-entrance interface. The remaining leg portion of the one channel member may cooperate with a member disposed on the trailing edge of the associated door panel to define a flame shield and a mechanical limit for preventing undue separation of the door panel from the side jamb.

Abstract: In the event of an alarm being raised (e.g. by a sensor 34) by an attempt at breaking into a protected space (36) such as a safe or a strong room, a rapidly hardening foam is suddenly projected around or into the space to be protected. The expanding foam can also be used to drive additional door-barring means into position. The foam may be made by mixing two components that react together. The components can then be stored in tanks (23, 24), where they occupy little volume until the alarm is raised. The components are mixed in a mixing head (27) and projected into the space through a nozzle (28).

Abstract: A safe deposit box nest includes an outer housing into which are assembled a number of sheet metal partitions and shelves to form compartments. In order to eliminate the need for individually fitting each compartment door, each such door is hinged to and strikes against posts formed by extruded members such as aluminum attached to the front of the partitions. To the same end the forward edges of the shelves are disposed between the posts and doors and are folded rearwardly upon themselves and compressd to form shelf edge portions of uniform thickness. Finally, the nest is constructed in a manner which reduces welding to a minimum and helps insure accurate and uniform compartment openings to which the doors are applied.
