Abstract:
An electrically protected hand-holdable transportable case with a handle to be held in the hand of the transporter, for the storage of theft attractive articles, said electrically protected case comprising:an electrical laminate; electrical protective apparatus; said electrical protective apparatus comprising at least one of: electrically activatable alarm apparatus to sound an alarm; and electrically activatable destructive apparatus to render the articles stored in said case unusable; said electrical protective apparatus and said electrical laminate being connected with electric circuitry to permit said electrical protective apparatus to be activated upon an attempted unauthorized entry into said case; and said electrical laminate comprising: at least one elongated electrically conductive wire; said at least one elongated electrically conductive wire forming an electrical mesh mat of substantially continuous meshes, loops or eyes of the kind obtained when knitting or crocheting; said meshes, loops or eyes being configured and sized to provide resistance to external disturbances comprising at least one of: magnetic fields, static electricity, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields, to thus minimize a risk of a false activation of said protective apparatus; at least one outer sheet; said electrical mesh mat having at least one surface area disposed immediately adjacent to said at least one outer sheet; said at least one outer sheet having at least one surface area disposed immediately adjacent to said electrical mesh mat; and said at least one surface area of said at leapt one outer sheet and said at least one surface area of said electrical mesh mat being joined to one another over substantially the entire immediately adjacent surface areas therebetween to form a laminated structure of said at least one outer sheet and said electrical mesh mat; a body; a handle; said handle being connected to said body to permit a hand of a person to lift and carry said case by said handle; said body having a plurality of extensive outer surfaces; and each of said plurality of extensive outer surfaces being formed substantially entirely by said electrical laminate to protect said case from unauthorized entry into said case.
