An automated transaction machine includes upper and lower units. The lower unit has a chest with a main body. The main body of the lower unit forms a cavity and has interior and exterior walls, made of different metals, metal alloys or composite metallic material. There is a non-metallic material layer disposed therebetween. There is opening for passage of documents or other items between the upper and lower units. The upper unit has a housing with a main body. The main body forms a cavity. The main body of the upper unit has an interior and an exterior wall. A transport system may be disposed in the housing to transport documents between the upper and lower units.

An electronic lockbox uses a rotary actuator with multiple positions to achieve multiple locking states. Multiple positions of the actuator are detected, using optical sensors. The locking mechanism includes an outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical barrel that are coupled with torsion springs. The lockbox has a shackle and a key bin that are retained by the inner barrel when in the locked state, and the barrel can be rotated to either release the shackle or to release the key bin that typically holds a building's key.

A dresser integrated safe apparatus for preventing dressers from tipping and providing safekeeping includes a dresser frame and a plurality of tracks coupled to the dresser frame and positioned on a frame left side and a frame right side within a frame inside adjacent a plurality of drawer apertures. A plurality of drawers each has a pair of drawer rails to slidingly engage the tracks. A safe body has a pair of safe rails to slidingly engage the tracks adjacent a lowest drawer aperture of the plurality of drawer apertures. A safe door is hingingly coupled to the safe body. The safe door covers and alternatively exposes a safe cavity of the safe body. A safe control is coupled within the safe door. The safe control includes a door lock to secure and alternatively release the safe door.

An electronic lockbox including a key bin having an embedded insert. The insert is embedded during a die cast process. The insert enhances the attack resistance of the lockbox from hammering, chiseling, and drilling attacks. The insert includes “3D features” that help with the casting process and attack resistance, including at least one through-hole, at least one slot, and at least one ridge. A housing portion is constructed over multiple drawing stages to increase its hardness and strength, thereby increasing resistance to prying attacks.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to secure storage boxes having a lock post bracket attached to a lid of the secure storage box and a lock body bracket attached to a body portion of the secure storage box. The lost post bracket may be constructed to retain a lock post, and the lock body bracket may be constructed to retain a lock body. The lock body may include an opening configured to selectively retain the lock post when the lid of the secure storage box is closed. Thus, the lock body may prevent the lid of the secure storage box from opening by retaining the lock post. Moreover, the lock post bracket and the lock body bracket may include features for confirming the alignment of the lock post to the opening in the lock body. For example, the lock post bracket may include two or more hollow cylinders configured to register with two or more complementary pins disposed on the lock body bracket. Moreover, the lock body and lock body bracket may a complementary interface for confirming that a compatible lock body has been installed with the lock body bracket.

An emergency response cabinet including a housing and a front door. The housing having opposing side walls, a bottom wall, a top wall and a rear wall cooperating to define a receiving cavity therein and a front opening. The receiving cavity being configured to receive at least one piece of protective equipment. The front door is connected to the housing and moveable between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position the front door extends over the receiving cavity of the housing. In the open position the receiving cavity is unobstructed by the front door.

An electronic lockbox uses a rotary actuator with multiple positions to achieve multiple locking states. Multiple positions of the actuator are detected, using optical sensors. The locking mechanism includes an outer sleeve and an inner cylindrical barrel that are coupled with torsion springs. The lockbox has a shackle and a key bin that are retained by the inner barrel when in the locked state, and the barrel can be rotated to either release the shackle or to release the key bin that typically holds a building's key.

A valet vault is described herein. The valet vault may be constructed with components that result in improved strength and prevent theft. In one example embodiment, the vault may comprise a service side, an attachment side, and four exterior sides, a lockable utility box, a secured storage area being accessible through a door where a hinged end of the door is pivotally connected to a door frame by at least one hinge, and a security plate substantially separating the secured storage area and the lockable utility box. The vault may comprise a catch/latch to stop the door. The vault may comprise an illuminatable sign that does not compromise the security of the secured storage area. The door may comprise reinforcements. The vault may be a podium or be coupled to a wall.

A storage container including a lid, a base coupled to the lid, an interior cavity defined by a closed state of the lid and the base, and locking mechanism disposed in at least one of the lid or the base. The locking mechanism includes a first key that is actuatable in a first direction and one or more second keys that are actuatable in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction. The one or more second keys are configured to engage with the first key and when the one or more second keys are actuated in the second direction, the first key is actuatable in the first direction to unlock the locking mechanism.

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.
