ABSTRACT:
A relatively lightweight safe is provided in two embodiments with both embodiments being structured using nearly identical principles. The first embodiment is trapezoidal in shape to take advantage of the trapezoidal shaped space behind the hinged, bench-style seats of pickup trucks. The second embodiment is generally rectangular in shape and is adapted to be hidden underneath a removable dining bench-style seat or a bed of a recreational vehicle. The box-like housings of both embodiments are manufactured of a 12 gauge thick steel sheet metal. Around the hinged access door of each embodiment is a framework of steel tubing serving to provide a reinforced location to mount the door hinge and to provide reinforcement around the locked door. Each door and hinge is slightly recessed below the front surface of the steel tubing. Both embodiments use a combination lock mounted on the door for locking a door mounted lock handle assembly stationary. A crank and rod system is attached to the handle assembly in the interior of the door. The crank and rod system is further attached to, and actuates a multiple of lock pins extendable from two oppositely disposed edges of the door. Both embodiments are further lined in the interior with a first layer of mineral fiber heat and fire resistant material, and the mineral fiber is covered with a layer of carpet. The embodiment of the safe are both designed to be securely bolted with carriage bolts to the vehicle to prevent removal therefrom.
