Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8102037A1] A bank-like container, with a locking mechanism which can be released when a user sets the numerals and symbols of a plurality of ring units mounted thereon in a predetermined combination. The ring units (30) consist of inner and outer rings, (32) and (31), which may be securely set in any of a plurality of relative positions with each other to allow the user to arbitrarily change the combination of the lock. The inner and outer rings, (32) and (31), fit together securely by forming the outside of the inner ring (32) in a regular polygonal shape and forming in the outer ring (31) a corresponding polygonal step (33) which engages with the inner ring (32). Further, on the upper surface of the inner ring (32) are provided a plurality of recesses opening at the inner edge and/or radial projections at a predetermined interval to provide reactions and sounds for camouflage so as to prevent a third party from releasing the lock of the container.
