Abstract:
A system for controlling access to a secure room containing a plurality of safety deposit boxes, comprises a motion detector, a biometric sensor, and a plurality of contact sensors, wherein each of the safety deposit boxes is associated with at least two contact sensors. The system includes a processor that is configured to unlock the gate when a plurality of access conditions are satisfied, which may include: collecting via the biometric sensor a biometric sensor a biometric credential that matches a reference biometric credential in a user database; and determining the secure room is unoccupied based on at least a predetermined period of no motion detected by the at least one motion sensor. The processor may also be configured to generate a box-accessed event identifying one of the safety deposit boxes when all of the contact sensors associated with that safety deposit box are simultaneously opened.
Abstract:
Embodiments pertain to a storage system for securely storing a plurality of garment bags in a publicly accessible area, comprising: at least one frame structure, wherein the at least one frame structure comprises a plurality of item hanging hardware mechanisms for receiving items for storage, and a plurality of garment bags comprising receptacles that are non-removably coupled, in a suspending manner, from the frame structure, and fasteners for opening and closing the respective receptacles, wherein each one of the fasteners operably cooperates with a lock mechanism of the storage system for selectively securing the fastener in a closed position and for unsecuring the fastener for allowing the fastener to be set from the closed into an open position; an alarm system that is operably coupled with the plurality of receptacles and, when armed, provides an output responsive to detecting that the structural integrity of the receptacle is compromised; and an output module to indicate a user located in the publicly accessible area which one of the garment bags have an item stored therein and which not, to indicate to the user which of the plurality of item storage devices is available for storing items therein.
Abstract:
Various embodiments, relate to a system of lockers including a plurality of tracks and a plurality of walls. At least two of the plurality of walls slidably coupled to at least two of the plurality of tracks. Four of the plurality of walls form four sides of a locker cavity. The system also includes a plurality of doors. Each of the plurality of doors are oriented perpendicular to the plurality of the walls. A first door of the plurality of doors is coupleable to a second door of the plurality of doors so as to form a third door, and at least one of the plurality of doors form one side of the locker cavity. The system also includes a back wall, which forms one side of the locker cavity. The system further includes a lock for securing positions of the plurality of walls and of the plurality of doors.
Abstract:
The modular asset storage system includes a main panel, the main panel including a computer command module and one or more asset containment modules. The asset containment modules are in data communication with the computer command module.
Abstract:
An item storage device for securely storing items comprising: a receptacle defining a storage area for receiving an item to be stored; a fastener for opening and closing the receptacle and which operably cooperates with a lock mechanism for selectively securing the fastener in a closed position and for unsecuring the fastener for allowing the fastener to be set from the closed into an open position; and an alarm system which is operably coupled with the receptacle and which may be armed when the fastener is secured, the armed alarm system providing an output responsive to detecting that the structural integrity of the receptacle is compromised.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for enhancing the security of a cluster box unit which includes a protective enclosure, internal cabinetry, door, hinge and locking system. The cluster box unit may also include outgoing mail compartment doors that are heavily constructed and rigidly reinforced, with the locks carried thereon protectively shielded, and with the extensible bolts of these locks being engaged by brackets that not only lock the outgoing mail compartment doors but also the master loading doors of the cluster box units. The cluster box unit may also include master loading doors are provided with hinges that extend the full height of the doors—hinges that are defined by pivotally interfitting elements of extrusions that very sturdily mount the master loading doors, that prevent prying or bending the doors in the vicinities of their hinges. The interfitting elements of the hinge extrusions also permit the doors to be installed on their surrounding door frames quickly and easily, and permit one or both of the master loading doors to be quickly and easily removed for service or replacement when necessary.
Abstract:
A safe deposit box access system is provided. A user provides biometric credential information such as a fingerprint scan to gain access to a vault storing a plurality of safe deposit boxes. Each of the safe deposit boxes is equipped with a sensor for detecting movement and motion. The sensor comprises a transmitter for transmitting a unique identification number corresponding to that safe deposit box to a receiver. The receiver is coupled to a computer, which compares the identification number of the moved or opened safe deposit box to the stored profile of the user who gained biometric access to the vault. If the moved or opened safe deposit box does not correspond to the safe deposit box rented by the user who gained biometric access, an alarm is triggered.
Abstract:
A multiple compartment cash box assembly including an insert box defining a first compartment and a separate second compartment. A first slot extends into the first compartment and a second slot extends into the second compartment. An access template is included movably coupled to the insert box between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the access template cooperates with the first slot to enable access therethrough into the first compartment while simultaneously cooperatively blocking access to the second compartment through the second slot. In the second position, the access template cooperates with the second slot to enable access therethrough into the second compartment while cooperatively blocking access to the first compartment through the first slot.
Abstract:
A safety deposit box storage structure comprising: a housing formed from continuous metal sheet, the housing having a back wall and spaced apart side walls. At least one inwardly projecting ridge extends along the inner surface of each side wall. A top wall and a bottom wall are secured to the housing to form a box structure having an open front end. At least one vertical partition is disposed between and parallel to the side walls; the vertical partition being generally flat, and having at least one corrugation formed therein. Each corrugation has a ridge projecting from each side of the partition. A plurality of spaced-apart slots are formed in the ridges. The slots are generally parallel to the top and bottom wall: A plurality of horizontal shelves are provided having lateral edges dimensioned to be received in the slots, the vertical partitions and horizontal shelves defining compartments within the box structure to receive a security box. A door frame is fixedly connectable to the open front end of the housing. The door frame includes a plurality of lockable doors equal in number to the number of compartments defined within the housing.
Abstract:
A locker unit comprises a plurality of lockers provided with doors equipped with a locking device. The locking device consists of a mechanical lock and an auxiliary lock having an electric drive for said device. The locking device comprises a rest position which blocks the access to the mechanical lock and/or its movement, and an opening position which frees said access and/or said movement.
