Secure Container Valuables Positioning Airbag Tampering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing secure containers for valuables, such as banknotes, often fail to effectively alter or destroy all contents due to insufficient spray coverage or mechanical destruction mechanisms, especially in large internal volumes.
Innovation Solution
A secure container equipped with a positioning device, such as inflatable airbags, that deploys to group valuables near tampering means, combined with mechanical destruction or liquid spray modules, ensuring comprehensive alteration or destruction, and featuring a time delay for optimal activation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If spray modules are used to alter valuables in a large volume container, then some valuables can be stained, but not all valuables are correctly stained due to insufficient spray coverage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs positioning means (airbags) that deploy before the spray modules activate to pre-position all valuables within the spray coverage zone. This preliminary action ensures that when the spray modules activate, every valuable is already in the correct position to receive adequate staining, eliminating the coverage insufficiency problem in large volume containers.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces airbags as intermediary elements between the valuables and the spray modules. These airbags act as positioning mediators that physically move and hold valuables in optimal positions within the container, ensuring complete spray coverage without requiring the spray modules themselves to be repositioned or increased in number.
2Reliability
If mechanical destruction means are used to destroy valuables in a large volume container, then some valuables can be cut or perforated, but not all valuables are destroyed due to insufficient reach
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning means (airbags) deploy and position all valuables within reach of the mechanical destruction means before the destruction activation occurs. This preliminary positioning ensures that when the blade, punch, or electronic chainsaw activates, every valuable is already within the effective destruction zone, achieving complete destruction throughout the entire container volume.
3Volume of stationary object
If the container has large internal volume to store bulk valuables, then storage capacity is improved, but the effectiveness of alteration or destruction means is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the container interior into multiple zones by deploying airbags that position valuables in specific regions. This segmentation allows the large volume container to be effectively divided into multiple smaller effective zones, each within reach of the alteration or destruction means, thereby maintaining high tampering effectiveness despite the large overall storage capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
Before alteration or destruction is initiated, the positioning means perform preliminary action by distributing and positioning all valuables throughout the container volume to ensure every item falls within the effective range of the tampering means. This preliminary distribution resolves the contradiction between large storage volume and effective tampering coverage.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution ensures all valuables are efficiently rendered unusable by positioning them within the effective range of tampering means, improving coverage and reducing the need for excessive liquid or mechanical displacement, thus enhancing security and weight efficiency.
Implementation Method 1
a device for positioning values allowing, in the event of improper handling, attempted break-in or detection of theft, to group together said valuables and to position them all within the scope of tampering means

AI summary
The container (1) has an enclosure (3) for receiving valuable articles (2). A positioning device (11) allows grouping and positioning the valuable articles in an event of improper handling, attempted break or theft detection. A deterioration unit (10) secures the valuable articles contained in the enclosure from deterioration or destruction of articles without making the articles unusable. The positioning device comprises an inflatable cushion (12) that is extended from an arrangement position in which the cushion is deflated to an operation position in which the cushion is inflated. The deterioration unit is a blade, punch, electronic slicer or guillotine.
