A utility enclosure includes a box, a bracket connected to the box, and a lid placed over the box. The box includes a plurality of walls and a central opening. The bracket has a center portion and a first opening in the center portion for receiving a fastener to connect the bracket to one of the walls. The removable lid covers the central opening.

A cash storage apparatus including a housing which is arranged in a horizontal orientation state where a surface from which a cash storage case is pulled out or pushed out serves as a front surface, or in a vertical orientation state where this front surface serves as an upper surface, an open/close cover which is provided to be positioned on a portion of an upper surface or undersurface of the housing when the housing is in the horizontal orientation state and is opened frontward when the housing is in the vertical orientation state, a lock mechanism which individually locks the cash storage case and the open/close cover, and an open/close mechanism having a rotator which releases locking of the cash storage case by the lock mechanism when rotating in one direction and releases locking of the open/close cover by the lock mechanism when rotating in a reverse direction.

An in-vehicle locking safe system comprising a lockbox having one or more walls defining an enclosure, wherein the lockbox is configured with one or more apertures in one or more lockbox walls. The in-vehicle locking safe system further comprises a vehicle structural element including one or more studs configured to be inserted within one or more apertures in one or more lockbox walls, and a fastener component coupled to a portion of the one or more studs at a location inside the enclosure of the lockbox. In some embodiments, the vehicle structural element includes one or more of a vehicle chassis, a slider rail, a slider track, and/or a floor layer.

A conventional safe proper becomes useless when unable to be locked or unlocked, thereby causing a waste of resources. Locks capable of being locked/unlocked are provided to unfasten a common fastening member, so as to open a door or lid from the body, allow each lock to be freely mounted on and dismounted from a lock mounting portion, and dispose a false lock on each lock. An operating means of locking/unlocking any one of the locks is provided to enable persistent use of a common latch disposed at an identity opening of a safe proper.

A device designed to validate and transport paper currency in a protected fashion. While being transported, the device monitors for tampering or break-in attempts and subsequently generates warning notifications, or sounds an alarm depending on configuration and the type of tampering detected. The transport case provides end-to-end cash accountability from a location where a bill is inserted into the case, to the bank or cash destination, where the transport case is delivered. Additionally, a docking station accessory is described in which the transport case can be securely fixed while at a point of sale.

A method for making a physical access restriction compartment, such as a safe or a vault. The method includes assembling a wall structure of the compartment. The wall structure includes a plurality of channels. The method also entails mixing 80-90% polyethylene with 10-20% ceramic into a polyceramic amalgam prior to thermally processing the polyceramic amalgam at a predetermined temperature for a preset period of time. The processed polyceramic amalgam is shaped into a plurality of polyceramic rods, which are then inserted into the plurality of channels of the wall structure. The wall structure with the plurality of polyceramic rods is mounted into a housing. The predetermined temperature is within a range between 140-180 Deg C. and the preset period of time is between 2.5-3.5 hours.

An outdoor chaise lounge including a lock-box integrated therein. The chaise lounge may have a photovoltaic device mounted to a portion of a seat member where a user rests his or her head, and the lock-box may be positioned below a foot portion of the seat member. The foot portion of the seat member may be configured to be rotated upwards to enable a user to access the lock-box. In an embodiment, electronic devices may be integrated into a member of the chaise lounge, such as a leg member, frame member, or armrest, and be configured to enable a user to order food, beverages, attendants, or perform other communications with a billing or other system of a venue (e.g., hotel, cruise ship, etc.) via a wireless communication.

An apparatus includes a controller configured to initiate attachment of a first locking bar of a transport container to a first anchor point of a structure by adjusting the first locking bar from a first unlocked state to a first locked state. The controller is also configured to confirm a locking of the first locking bar to the first anchor point. The controller is further configured to, in response to confirming the locking, initiate a release of a second locking bar of the transport container from a second anchor point by adjusting the second locking bar from a second locked state to a second unlocked state.

Banknote processing equipment is disclosed, which comprises a chamber having an open end for insertion of a bag into the chamber and an extractor adapted to establish a lower ambient pressure between the chamber and the hag to that within the bag to cause the bag to expand into an open configuration during a banknote filling operation, whereby the banknote processing equipment can deposit banknotes in the bag.
