A SAFE FOR VALUABLE DOCUMENTS SUCH AS BANKNOTES, CHEQUES ETC.

摘要

A safe for accomodating valuable documents includes one or more units (1-17), each of which is intended to accomodate several valuable documents and is equipped with destructive devices (112-172) for local destruction of valuable documents in respective units when an attempt to break into the safe (1) is made. Each of the destruction devices (e.g. 112) includes at least one container (31) disposed adjacent a valuable document wind-up drum (30). The container includes a peripheral, circular continuous recess or channel (311) intended for destructive material (33) and facing towards the exposed edges of valuable documents. The opening (3111, 3211) of the recess or channel (311, 321) is covered with a ring-shaped plastic or steel net. The recess contains dye capsules (33) and a ring-shaped fuse (3113, 3213) for activation of the dye when an attempt to break into the safe (1) is made.
