Reversible Safety Box for Fixed and Mobile Installations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing safety containers require two types for fixed and mobile installations, leading to laborious and complex procedures for transferring valuable properties between them.
Innovation Solution
A safety container with a reversible locking mechanism that allows easy conversion between fixed and mobile configurations, featuring a main body, a covering element, and a support body that can be securely attached to various support structures using screws or rivets, enabling simple and quick transitions between installation modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a fixed safe is installed permanently in support structures, then security and stability are improved, but mobility and ease of transport are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The safe is designed with a reversible support body that can be detached from and reattached to support structures, allowing the safe to dynamically transition between fixed and mobile states. The support body includes attachment means (such as screws or rivets) that enable secure fixation when needed and easy removal for transport, resolving the contradiction between security stability and mobility.
2Ease of operation
If a portable safe deposit box is designed for mobility, then ease of transport is improved, but security and stability during storage are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The portable safe incorporates a support body with attachment means that can be engaged with support structures to provide fixed installation when security is required. The same support body can be detached to enable portability, allowing the safe to adapt its security features based on operational needs rather than being permanently fixed or permanently portable.
3Reliability
If separate fixed and mobile containers are used, then specific security needs are met, but device complexity and handling procedures are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The safe is designed as a universal container that can function in both fixed and mobile configurations through its reversible support body. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate dedicated fixed and portable containers, simplifying the overall system while maintaining the security benefits of both installation types through a single versatile device.

AI summary
A portable safety container configured also for fixed installation is disclosed having a main body, which, in turn has a covering element and a containment structure. The main body also is selectively coupled with a support body and a lock element. The lock element is configured so that a locking configuration of the covering element with the containment structure corresponds to a first closing state, and an additional locking of the main body with the support body corresponds to a second closing state.
