The present disclosure relates to a money handling apparatus including: a money storage unit configured to store money; a locking unit configured to limit access to the money storage unit; and a control unit configured to give unlock permission to unlock the locking unit to at least one of a plurality of qualified persons who are qualified to unlock the locking unit, and to perform a process involving change of the qualified person.

A biometric safe cabinet assembly for accessing the firearm safe from a bedside includes a cabinet. The cabinet is a nightstand and is positioned adjacent to a bedside. A scanner is attached to a side of the cabinet. The scanner is a biometric fingerprint reader that is in electric communication with a microprocessor. The microprocessor determines if the fingerprint reading matches the accepted fingerprint data. The microprocessor is in electric communication with a lock which is an electromagnet. The lock receives electric current from a power supply to produce a magnetic field that attracts the magnet of a door. The door is for a safe for a weapon is to be stored within. The magnetic field will diminish when the electric current is closed off by the microprocessor if the correct fingerprint is used. The safe can be accessed by the user without leaving the bedside.

Safes and related locking assemblies, mechanisms, and enclosures. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism may comprise one or more fixed locking members, such as studs, mounted on or otherwise coupled to the body of the safe or other enclosure, such as a box, building, vehicle, trailer or the like. In some embodiments, the locking members may be mounted to the door/lid frame of the enclosure. Additional moveable locking members may be positioned on and/or moveably coupled with the safe door, which may allow the moveable locking members to engage the fixed locking members on the door frame to lock the door/lid in place.

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.

Novel modular smart management devices in the form of drop safes include the modular components of a chassis, door and technology cabinet. The drop safes enable retailers to make cash deposits quickly and safely within or near their own facilities. Various technology, including RFID readers, RFID tags, and other equipment allow the drop safes to identify each deposited bag. Employees utilize specialized apps on their mobile devices to facilitate deposit creation and other tasks. Novel methodologies for accessing the drop safes for emptying employ single-use, time-expiration type authorization codes along with other security measures to minimize risk and to provide other benefits. Novel structures along with methodologies for replacing, on-site, modular components with auto-detection of functionality during initialization and re-initialization enables for efficient replacement and upgrading of components, including the upgrading of safes to provide additional functionality.

An outdoor chaise lounge may include a frame, multiple legs coupled to and extending below the frame to support the frame, a seat member coupled to the frame to enable a user to sit or lay on the seat member, a lock-box fixedly supported by the frame that enables a user of the outdoor chaise lounge to store and lock items therein. The lock-box may include a lock-box door inclusive of a user interface that enables a user to lock and unlock the lock-box. A door member may be coupled to the seat member and have a closed position and an open position such that when said door member is in the open position, the user has access to the user interface on the lock-box door.
