Abstract:
An electrically protected transportable case 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; andelectrically 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; andsaid electrical laminate comprising:at least one elongated electrically conductive wire;said at least one elongated electrically conductive wire forming an electrical fine-mesh mat of substantially continuous meshes of loops or eyes of the kind obtained when knitting or crocheting;said meshes of 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 fine-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 fine-mesh mat;said at least one surface area of said at least one outer sheet and said at least one surface area of said electrical fine-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 fine-mesh mat;a body;said body having a plurality of extensive outer surfaces; andeach of said extensive outer surfaces being formed substantially entirely by said electrical laminate to protect said case from unauthorized entry.
