Title:
BEACH LOCKER FOR SAFELY STORING VALUABLES ON A SANDY BEACH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/086186
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
The invention relates to a beach locker for preventing theft of valuables from a sandy beach. To prevent theft of the beach locker, the locker compartment is anchored to the surface soil in such a way that it can only be removed from the anchor after the locked locker compartment has been opened. The screw anchor can never be pulled out of the beach soil but must be unscrewed before removal. In addition, even after partial excavation of the screw anchor, removal of the screw anchor is virtually impossible without using special tools.
