Abstract
An under counter safe for securing items and providing quick access includes upper and lower sections forming an interior cavity, with the upper section attachable to the underside of a countertop, desk, or other surface. A linkage mechanism may connect the upper and lower sections, allowing the lower section to be raised or lowered with respect to the upper section to allow access to the interior cavity. A dual locking mechanism may secure the lower section to the upper mechanism at two points, and a release mechanism may simultaneously disengage both locking points to allow access. The release mechanism may be manually or electronically activated.
Claims18
An under counter safe comprising:
- an upper section having a front portion and a back portion;
- a lower section movably attached to the upper section by a linkage mechanism, wherein the linkage mechanism permits movement of the lower section with respect to the upper section such that the lower section may be moved away from the upper section to reveal an interior cavity formed between the upper and lower sections;
- a first locking mechanism attached to the front portion of the upper section and a second locking mechanism attached to the back portion of the upper section, wherein each locking mechanism is configured to secure the lower section to the upper section;
- and
- a release mechanism configured to simultaneously engage or disengage the first and second locking mechanisms.
An under counter safe comprising:
- an upper section having a front portion and a back portion;
- a lower section movably attached to the upper section by a linkage mechanism;
- a locking mechanism comprising first and second hooks configured to secure the lower section to the upper section, the first hook located proximate the front portion of the upper section and the second hook located proximate the back portion of the upper section;
- and
- a release mechanism configured to actuate the first and second hooks simultaneously.
An under counter safe comprising:
- an upper section connected to a lower section via a linkage mechanism;
- first and second locking mechanisms configured to secure the lower section to the upper section, the first locking mechanism located proximate the front of the under counter safe and the second locking mechanism located proximate the back of the under counter safe;
- and
- a release mechanism configured to simultaneously engage or disengage the first and second locking mechanisms.
