Storage Box
Field of Application
The invention refers to the storage box intended predominantly for the use at bathing places, beeches and swimming pools; while the box also serves as surface for advertising purpose.
Discussion of the Prior Art
Currently any valuables such as money, identity papers, car keys and other keys while visiting a beech or a swimming pool are stored in storage boxes designed primarily for stowage of clothing. These boxes are located in rooms serving as changing rooms momentarily occupied by a varying number of people and therefore there is a high hazard of theft occurrence in those rooms. Another most frequently used way of stowing personal valuables is handing these over to personnel of the beech or swimming pool that are usually provided with a vault within their administrative premises. This solution is disadvantageous because the owner of valuables is usually deprived of direct access to his/her money, or car keys in case of need and in addition the control over the stowed valuables is impaired.
Background of the Invention
The above limitations have been removed by a solution according to this invention the background of which lies in the use of a separate storage box for safe stowage of valuables, the box consists of the upper and bottom part which upon closing fit tightly together and create a hollow space in between. The upper part of the box is provided with a collar preventing water getting on the upper part surface from leaking into the storage box. The bottom part is provided with securing mechanism for attaching the box to a given place. The upper and bottom part of the storage box are provided with a joining part each, in the form of a hinge or a slot and feather. The upper and bottom part are provided with a lockable device. The joint between the upper and bottom part of the box is based on the use of slot and feather, which are provided along the part of circumference of both, the upper and bottom part of the box. On upper part as well as the bottom part surfaces of the storage box for attaching identification labels with respective numbers, fox example, and for placing of advertisements.
The upper part is provided with advertisement panel attached on distance bars so that there is a gap between the upper part and advertisement panel, the advertisement panel being dismountable from the upper part of the box from the outer side after releasing the fasteners such as screw connections, eccentric clamps or magnets. The upper part is provided with a handle or an extruded part for seizing the upper part while opening the box. The bottom part is provided with venting holes on side surfaces and drainage holes on the bottom surface. The bottom part may also be provided with mounting holes for attaching the box onto a column firmly anchored in bedding or the column base is provided with a shouldered joint inserted into counter weight placed on the bedding. The bottom part of the storage box is also equipped with an attachment joint for attaching the storage box, for example, to a sunshade, fence, deck-chair, tent or wall. Attachment device may be a ribbon type bond, U coupling sleeve with ends inserted into the box; lugs on the outer side of bottom part are encircled with holes for bar securing. The bottom part also comprises an opening with a backward shifting flap used for inserting articles into the box without having to unlock it while preventing, at the same time, withdrawal of any articles out of the box through this opening. The locking device may be a mechanical key-operated lock, mechanical coding lock, or mechanical-electronic lock.
Storage boxes are placed throughout the entire area, dividing it into different sectors using the varied colour scheme for separate groups of storage boxes.
