ABSTRACT:
A security container comprises two halves which can be slid together longitudinally to close the container and locked in the longitudinally closed position. Each half comprises a channel member and an associated end cap which is of a size to cover the whole of the end of the container. Edges of the side panels of each channel member include u-shape formations to that the two halves interlock for a longitudinal movement. A money compartment is defined in the bottom of the rear half by a transverse plate parallel to the lower end cap. A drawer is mounted in the compartment and can be locked by rotating a threaded rod into engagement with a nut welded on the rear face of the rear channel member. A locking mechanism for the above container includes a protective cover including two plates covering the front face of the lock barrel with four balls between the plates allowing a key to pan between the balls into the lock but resisting a punch force to the front of the lock.
