(54) | Locking device for public telephone strongboxes |
(57) The invention relates to a locking device for public telephone strongboxes arranged
on a support (3) joined to the body (1) of the strongbox, on which an electric gearmotor
(4) acting on a nut (7) is assembled, which nut (7) actuates a link rod (9) supplying
in turn a 90ยบ rotational movement to a pair of opposite shafts (14-14') with a free
and beveled edge, capable of blocking respective hooks (15-15') joined to the door
(2), which is joined to the body (1) through inner and hidden hinges. In this way,
the electric motor (4) can be actuated by means of a remote control and the location
of the hinging elements or the locking elements cannot be observed outside the strongbox,
the door (2) showing a completely smooth and clear surface which makes any manipulation
tending to force the strongbox considerably difficult.
