Abstract (en)

The case (1) is used in conjunction with a cradle, not shown, containing a microprocessor to control the vacuum, locks and destruction mechanism of the case. Once sealed, the case is locked by a system of locks (9,10,11) and located within the cradle. The vacuum is then created within the case and the microprocessor can then arm the destruction mechanism (8) of the case. The microprocessor is linked to sensors measuring temperature, humidity and acceleration. The destructive mechanism will destroy the valuables in the event of any attempt to break into the case. The case may only be successfully opened when the controlling microprocessor is correctly disarmed.
