Abstract

The invention is related to an armor kit in a safe, the said kit consisting in armor plates (11, 12, 15, 18) that are juxtaposed to the inner walls of the safe of ATMs and similar equipment, where the attachment of the said plates to the said walls is provided by way of removable retention means, such as screws fitted in threaded holes previously present in the said walls. The kit further comprises means for rigid joining between plates, such means consisting in flat perforated metal plates (13) or in plates that are folded/bent to form angle pieces (16, 19), provided with through-holes for the accommodation of screws. The installation of the kit may be provided without the need to remove the safe from the location where it is installed, and comprises, initially, the fastening of armor plates (11, 12) onto the inner face of the front wall (46) of the safe, followed by the attachment of the armor plates (15, 18) to the inner face of one of the side walls (44), as well as the rigid joining between the said plates, with the further possibility of installation of a horizontal armor plate (33) provided in parallel to the upper wall (43) of the safe by means of angle pieces (31, 32) that are intended for guiding and supporting purposes.
