Concealed safe

A concealed safe for safekeeping of small objects and valuables suitable for building into a wall comprises a hollow body formed with an upper compartment adapted to receive three drawers, and a lower compartment. The front wall of the safe is provided with an access opening which is closed with a plug socket after the drawers have been inserted into the safe. The plug socket is hingedly connected to the safe body and in its open position is adapted to move towards and outwards of the safe in a direction perpendicular to the front wall of the safe.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
This present invention refers to a concealed safe, particularly to a 
relatively small size safe suitable for building into a wall and for the 
safekeeping of small objects and valuables with the object of ensuring 
their safety and secrecy. 
The characteristics of the form and operation of this concealed safe make 
it especially useful in the home. It follows that the concealed safe to 
which this invention refers has equally a suitable utilization in offices, 
factories, shops or any other place where it is required to safeguard 
relatively small objects. 
Safes for the storage of money and valuables, designed to be hidden by the 
usual decorative elements such as curtains, pictures, window frames, false 
doors and so on are already known. Nevertheless a careful search of the 
area in which such a currently known type of safe is hidden leads to its 
discovery by a person unaware of its exact location. In fact once the 
picture, curtain, door or similar concealing element has been moved by the 
person searching there is revealed the very large and bulky opening 
mechanism of this type of safe. From thereon the actual opening of the 
safe, revealed by the searcher presents solely a problem of skill and 
mechanical procedure. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
The concealed safe which is the object of the present invention has as its 
principal objective the possibility of being hidden with considerable 
efficacy, such that in a high percentage of cases its discovery can be 
prevented however meticulous and thorough may be the search operation. 
Naturally, in anticipation of the improbable instance in which the 
concealed safe came to be discovered it is fitted with a locking device 
the unauthorized opening of which would require furthermore a considerable 
mechanical effort beyond the capability of a curious individual, an 
industrial or commercial spy or a common thief. 
The functional aspect of the safe is characterized particularly by its 
unusual simplicity of operation in opening, also the useful arrangement of 
separate independent sections for the storage of jewelery, cash, 
valuables, documents, etc. Also of note, among the various advantages of 
this safe are the dimensions and arrangement of the said separate sections 
such that access to their contents is easy. 
Finally, and equally being of great advantage, is that the the concealed 
safe as described herein can be equipped with an electrical system of 
disguise as well as an electrical alarm system which together provide an 
extraordinarily high degree of safety and efficiency. 
The objects of the invention are attained by a concealed safe having an 
internally hollow body with a single frontal opening, its shape being 
delimited by that of a wide horizontal box the inside of which is defined 
by two parallelepiped compartments, one upper and one lower; the concealed 
safe also having three drawers of equal dimensions, two plain drawers and 
one door-drawer which are fitted precisely in the upper compartment such 
that it is possible to extract them and introduce them one after another 
in succession through the frontal opening; the concealed safe also having 
therein a removable tray on which the drawers can rest; the concealed safe 
also having a special electrical plug socket which can be fitted against 
the edge of the single frontal access opening by means of a complementary 
locking device operated from the outside of the safe. 
The upper compartment of the concealed safe may be of greater depth than 
the lower compartment and as both compartments are on the same plane as 
the rear wall and the side walls, said upper compartment projects forward 
relative to the whole assembly. 
The single access opening may be located precisely in the upper compartment 
and its dimensions may exceed slightly the dimensions of the front 
elevation of the three aforementioned drawers so as to allow them to be 
inserted and extracted from the compartment freely. The edge of the said 
opening is surrounded by a protruding flange projecting outwards. 
The concealed safe may have inside a support ledge which projects 
perpendicularly from the rear wall at the same level as the lower edge of 
the opening thus delimiting the two compartments, upper and lower which 
together constitute the inside chamber of the concealed safe. This support 
ledge acts specifically as a rest for the rear edge of the three drawers. 
The supporting means for the drawers may be completed by a removable tray 
having a projecting piece on its underside to act as a stop, this tray 
being located in front of the opening, its front extremity resting on the 
lower edge thereof and its rear extremity on the support ledge inside the 
safe. 
To obtain access to the lower compartment it is necessary to remove the 
three drawers and then remove the removable tray. 
The two plain drawers may be provided with a number of holes so that they 
may be moved easily on introducing a hand into the opening left free by 
the door-drawer which obviously must be removed first with the use of the 
key which is required to open the lock situated at its front extremity. 
The bolts of this lock may protrude to the outside through suitable placed 
holes provided for this purpose in the upper wall of the concealed safe. 
Additionally with the safe, a small casing may be provided which is fitted 
such that it determines the cavity into which the aforementioned bolts 
will enter on closing the lock. 
Concealment of the door-drawer may be accomplished by means of special 
electric plug socket which may be attached to the edge of the front access 
opening. 
The attachment of this special socket may be is achieved by means of the 
articulation of a hinge provided at the lower flange of the access opening 
to the concealed safe, in such a way that the hinge member which is 
connected to the body of the safe is lodged and held within a small casing 
located below the lower member of the flange round the opening while the 
hinge member connected to the special socket is fitted, with the 
possibility of assembling and disassembling the member, to a frame firmly 
attached to the said socket plate. 
The aforesaid frame has a locking means having bolts on the upper edge 
thereof so such that in their closed position the bolts pass through a 
slot formed in the upper member of the flange of the opening in the body. 
The operation of this locking means may be carried out by means of a key 
with a narrow blade capable of passing through one of the terminal 
orifices provided in the special socket. 
A particular characteristic, moreover of the hinge lies in its ability to 
be moved both forwards and backwards in a direction perpendicular to the 
front face of the safe, and for this purpose the hinge member, which is 
lodged in the casing, can slide therein in a longitudinal direction along 
guides which provide for its uniform and efficient movement in both 
directions, having also a stop which limits its maximum forward movement. 
It follows that on moving the hinge, the socket will also move such that 
its ability to articulate will be facilitated. The possibility of 
separating the socket from the wall results in avoiding the shock action 
of the edge of the socket against the wall. This is particulary 
advantageous when the socket plate is large, especially on its lower 
portion. 
It is evident that it is of importance that the external appearance of the 
special socket be identical to the external appearance of the other 
sockets fitted in the room, that is that they have the identical shape and 
carry the same decorative characteristics. 
It is particularly important that this concealed safe is provided with a 
power supply to the special socket so that it may be utilized in the same 
manner as other sockets in the building. 
For this purpose the concealed safe of the invention may include a rigid 
protective tube below the protruding front as defined by the upper 
section, the internal extremity of this tube being so arranged that it 
ends adjacent to a passageway in the base of the casing containing one of 
the hinge members, inside the protective tube have at least two conductor 
wires connected respectively to the corresponding terminals of an electric 
supply through the hinge and terminate in a cable connector corresponding 
to a mating connector which in turn is the terminal of two conductor wires 
leading from the respective terminal orifices of the special plug socket. 
Hence, the terminal connectors may be mutually joined in contact, the 
electric supply being fed to the plug sockets of the special socket which 
may in consequence be utilized as an ordinary plug socket for the 
operation of lights, radio, television, etc. 
Normally the connection to the electrical supply will be through the main 
supply circuit of the room. 
The cable taking the power supply to the special plug socket is provided 
with a safety switch located at some distance from the plug socket itself 
and the operation of this switch will establish the continuity or 
otherwise of the electrical supply to the socket. It will be necessary to 
cut off the supply of current before withdrawing the plug socket to 
minimize the risk of causing an electric discharge, which in the event of 
not doing so, is high, even in the event of using a key made of an 
insulating material or covered in an insulating material. 
Furthermore, as an additional safety element, the special plug socket may 
be fitted with suitable insulating materials such as plates, grommets and 
other similar items so as to assist in avoiding the possibility of 
electrical contact between the terminal orifices and the other metallic 
components of the socket plate which are directly accessible. 
Finally, as a more complete safety measure, the safety switch can be so 
arranged that it cuts off both the two conductors, such that during the 
normal operation of the concealed safe after switching off the safety 
switch, there remains no danger whatsoever to a person operating the safe 
being exposed to any such electrical discharge. 
Equally important in the concealed safe, object of this invention, is that 
it should be fitted with an alarm system which would operate in the event 
when the plug socket is to be handled by any unauthorized person. 
In practice, in view of the circumstances in which an unauthorized person 
may separate the plug socket from its point of connection at the front of 
the access opening of the safe, the concealed safe should be provided with 
an automatic contactor in an alarm system circuit, this automatic 
contactor having a switch which normally remains open and which closes at 
the instant when it is separated from a complementary stabilizing element 
situated near to it. The two lines, respectively to and from the alarm, 
form the circuit lead to the automatic contactor of the alarm circuit 
following the same path as the electrical conductors carrying the power 
supply to the terminal orifices of the special socket, that is passing 
through the protective tube and coming out through the passageway provided 
in the edge of the casing, in the region behind the special plug socket. 
Naturally, the alarm circuit is provided at one point therein with an 
external switch, directly accessible, allowing the alarm to be taken out 
of the circuit so that a person who is a party to the secret may separate 
the plug socket without the alarm being set off. It would be an advantage 
that the external alarm circuit switch and the aforementioned safety 
switch governing the supply of electric current to the plug socket, are 
combined such that one single operation of a double contactor would break 
the two electrical circuits simultaneously. 
The alarm circuit can be supplied either from the main electrical supply or 
from an independent source of power such as batteries, storage cells or 
other source independent of the main electrical supply to the locality. An 
autonomous energy source for the alarm circuit allows it to remain in a 
state of operation even in the event of the main supply from the said main 
circuit having been disconnected, by, for example directly isolating the 
incoming supply or by causing the disconnection of the electrical safety 
devices or fuses. 
The alarm system warning signals, such as visual or audio warnings, can be 
situated where they are most suitable, either inside or external to the 
building. 
An embodiment of the concealed safe in accordance with the present 
invention is shown by way of example only in the drawings which accompany 
this specification.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
In FIG. 1 can be seen the concealed safe in accordance with the present 
invention comprising an internally hollow body 1 having a single frontal 
opening 2 allowing access to the inside thereof. The body 1, preferably, 
is of metal and very strong. The body 1 delimits a wide horizontal chamber 
3 inside of which chamber are defined two parallelepiped shaped 
compartments, the lower compartment 4 and the upper compartment 5. 
The upper compartment 5 is slightly deeper than the lower compartment 4, 
such that the former protrudes slightly forward. 
The concealed safe also comprises two plain drawers 6 and 7 and a 
door-drawer 8. The three drawers 6, 7 and 8 are parallelepiped and are of 
mutually similar external dimensions. The width A and the height B of 
these three drawers are, respectively, slightly less than the width C and 
the height D of the frontal opening 2, so as to allow the drawers to be 
passed in and out of the opening without jamming. The depth E of the three 
drawers is slightly less than the internal depth F of the upper 
compartment 5 of the body 1, so as to allow them to be fully lodged 
therein. 
To ensure a satisfactory seating of the three drawers 6,7,8, within the 
body 1, there is provided a support ledge 9 which projects perpendicularly 
from the lateral wall 10 and which is complemented by a removable tray 11 
which is situated in front of the opening 2, between the lower edge 
thereof and the ledge 9. The removable tray 11 has on its under side a 
projecting lug 12 to act as a stop, preventing its accidental complete 
removal during the operation of taking out the drawers. FIG. 5 shows in 
greater detail the positioning of this removable tray 11. 
The discontinuous arrows in FIG. 1 show the required procedure for the 
introduction of the drawers. Firstly either of the plain drawers 6 or 7 
has to be introduced through the opening 2 and then pushed to one end or 
the other of the upper compartment 5 so as to leave free the opening 2 and 
permit the introduction of the other of the plain drawers 6 or 7 which is 
then positioned with a light push to the opposite end of the upper 
compartment 5; thus once again leaving the opening 2 free so that the 
door-drawer can also be inserted and thus blocking the opening 2. 
It should be noted that the inner face of the step 13 determined by the 
protruding zone of the upper compartment 5 also serves as a support for 
the drawers, particularly the simple drawers 6 and 7. 
The aforementioned simple drawers 6 and 7 have on their two side faces and 
on their front faces respectively, orifices 14 and 15 of a dimension 
sufficient for the introduction of the first phalanx of a finger. These 
orifices 14 and 15 are very useful in facilitating the operations of 
positioning within the body 1, particularly across the width of the upper 
compartment 5. 
It is easily appreciated that the internal width G of the body 1 must be 
equal to or less than the sum of the widths (3.times.A) of the three 
drawers 6, 7 and 8 so as to permit their being placed in the upper 
compartment 5. Preferably the width G should very slightly exceed the 
value (3.times.A) so as to obviate jamming or unnecessary play. 
The door-drawer 8 has fitted a lock 16 the bolts 17 of which, pass through 
corresponding orifices 18 in the upper face 19, near the front edge of the 
body 1. 
A small suitable strong casing 20 completes the lock 16 forming a cavity 21 
in which will lodge the bolts 17 of the lock 16 once the latter is in its 
locked position. 
The opening action of lock 16 is by use of a key 16a which is shown in FIG. 
6. 
The shape of the body 1 is completed by a flange member 22 protruding 
towards the exterior and which surrounds the opening 2 along the edge 
formed by its whole perimeter. 
The whole assembly forming the structure of the body 1 herein described is 
designed for building into a wall in such a manner that the free edge 22a 
of the flange 22 is flush with the outside surface 23 of the wall as may 
be seen in the FIG. 2. It follows that the thickness of the wall should be 
greater than the depth F of the body 1. Thus the only exposed part will be 
the opening 2, allowing access to the interior 3 of the body 1 for the 
purpose of inserting and removing the three drawers 6,7 and 8. 
The concealed safe, in accordance with the invention is also provided with 
a special plug socket 24 with the specific object of concealing the 
opening 2, and for which purpose it is attached to it and in particular to 
its flange 22. 
FIG. 2 shows the final arrangement of the safe having been built into the 
wall 23. In fact the only directly visible component is the outer face of 
the special socket 24. Obviously the outer plate 25 of the socket 24 will 
for preference be of the same appearance as the other plates in the same 
room or precinct such that there is no outward sign that would make it 
distinguishable. It is particularly preferable to utilize currently 
marketed types of sockets and to modify them to the requirements of the 
special socket 24 in each case. 
FIG. 5 shows that the special socket 24 comprises the plate 25, the 
terminal orifices 26 and 27 and a frame 28 which is rigid and firmly 
attached to the plate 25. 
The special socket 24 is connected to body 1 by means of a hinge 29. One 
member of the hinge 30 is held by threaded means of attachment 31 to the 
frame 28. The other member 32 of the hinge 29 is fitted inside the small 
casing 33 situated under the opening 2 or more precisely, below the lower 
member of the projecting flange 22. 
By these means the special socket 24 fits against the opening 2 and can be 
separated from it by articulating on the hinge pin of the hinge 29, that 
is on the axis 34--34'. The connection of the special socket 24 to the 
opening 2 is completed by means of the locking means 35 which is firmly 
attached to the frame 28 on its upper zone such that a bolt 36, in moving 
outwards passes through a slot 37 formed in the upper side of the flange 
22. FIGS. 1 and 5 show clearly this slot. 
In order to open and close this locking means 35, use is made of a key 38 
of which the blade 39 is sufficiently narrow to pass through one of the 
terminal orifices 26 or 27 of the socket 24, and which reaches the locking 
means 35 situated behind the plate 25. 
From the foregoing it can readily be seen that the access to the interior 
of the concealed safe is obtained very easily. In the first place it is 
sufficient by using the key 38, to withdraw the bolt 36 and thus cause the 
special socket 24 to be able to separate itself by hinging downwards in 
articulating on the hinge pin 34--34' of the hinge 29. However this 
giratory movement can be difficult or even prevented in the case of the 
lower zone of the plate 25 being prolonged downwards. In effect under 
these conditions there is the possibility that in hinging downwards the 
lower edge 25' of the plate 25 will be impeded by contact with the wall 
23. To overcome this difficulty there is provided an ingenious means which 
allows the hinge 29 to be displaced forward and downward in a direction 
perpendicular to the front face of the box 1, that is in a direction which 
is perpendicular to the outside surface of the wall 23. 
FIG. 7 shows in full detail the components that permit this displacement of 
the hinge 29. As previously mentioned the hinge member 30 is the 
hinge-plate which is fitted to the frame 28 which forms part of the socket 
24. 
The other hinge member 32 has longitudinal ribs 40 and 41, disposed as to 
one on each side and which correspond to tracks 42 and 43 formed in the 
baseplate 33a of the casing 33. This allows the member 32 to move forward 
and backward. The backward limit of the movement is established by the 
rear wall of the casing 33 and/or the rear extremity of the tracks 42 and 
43. The forward limit of movement is established by a stop 44 provided for 
this purpose adjacent to the front edge of the base 33a and which 
corresponds with a longitudinal opening 45 provided in the said hinge 
plate 32. Contact with the rear edge 45' of the opening 45 determines the 
limit of travel. The top side 46 of the casing 33 allows for the 
adjustment of the assembly. 
The threaded means 47 are the means for attaching the casing 33 to the 
hinge 29. Once the concealed safe has been built in to the wall 23 the 
heads of the threaded means 47 will be encased in mortar or such similar 
material as has been used in anchoring the safe itself and the hinge 29, 
it should be noted, it can then no longer be disassembled. The socket 24, 
however can be removed as required for repair, adjustment or for 
substitution by another due to the possibility of access to the attachment 
means 31 used in the fitting of the socket. 
FIG. 6 shows a part of the concealed safe in a side elevation. In this 
drawing the hinge 29 is seen in its forward position in the direction 
shown by the arrow 48 and the socket 24 is hinged forward leaving the 
opening 2 exposed and consequently leaving the lock 16 accessible. This 
therefor is the intermediate stage of the operation to be carried out in 
order to obtain access to the interior of the concealed safe. To continue 
with the operation of opening the concealed safe, use is made of the key 
16a to withdraw the bolts 17 after which the door-drawer 8 can be 
withdrawn from the interior of the concealed safe, following which the 
drawers 6 and 7, one after the other in either order can be taken out. For 
the operation of closing, the above steps are followed in the reverse 
order. 
The three drawers 6, 7 and 8 are particularly useful for holding small 
objects such as jewels, cash, watches etc. The lower compartment 4 is 
especially suitable for the storage of documents, letters, banknotes, and 
larger objects in general. 
The concealed safe as has been described above can be utilized with a high 
degree of security but the secrecy can be hidden with even greater 
security with the concealed safe fitted with a source of power supply. 
The above mentioned FIG. 6 shows the essential components needed to supply 
electrical energy to the terminal orifices 26 and 27. 
A suitably rigid protective tube 49 is fitted underneath the projection or 
front step 13 defined by the upper compartment 5. This protective tube 49 
has an elbow 50 so placed so that its inside extremity 51 terminates 
adjacent to a gap 52 provided in the base 33a of the casing 33. 
At least two conductor wires, 53 and 54 are provided inside the tube 49, 
connected exteriorly to the respective terminals of an electrical supply. 
These two conductor wires 53 and 54 pass through the gap 52 thus arriving 
in the space above the hinge 29, behind the special socket 24 where they 
terminate in a connector terminal 55 (FIG. 8). 
To conduct the power supply to the terminal orifices 26 and 27 the latter 
are connected to wires 56 and 57 which equally terminate in a connector 
terminal 58 which can mate with the terminal 55 described above. 
Consequently a voltage differential is obtained at the terminal orifices 
26 and 27 once the connector terminals 55 and 58 are joined together. 
The connector terminals 55 and 58 enable the special socket 24 to be 
assembled and disassembled or even changed without any difficulty, as has 
already been explained. 
A partly cut away part of the protective tube 49 is shown in FIG. 8 and 
therein can be seen the two conductor wires 53 and 54 in a serpentine form 
such that their length is somewhat greater than the containing tube 49 so 
that when the hinge 29 is folded downwards there is sufficient excess wire 
within the tube 49 to extend and so as to compensate for the extra length 
required. Equally when the hinge is reinstated upwards the excess wire 
will return to the tube 49. 
FIG. 9 shows the circuit diagram of the electrical connections as described 
above. Mention has been made of a switch 56' to shut off the power supply 
to the terminal orifices 26 and 27 so that the concealed safe may be 
operated in greater safety. This switch 56' is preferably at some distance 
from the place where the concealed safe in installed, even behind the wall 
68 as shown in the diagram. 
The electric conductors 58a and 59 which are the power supply leads shown 
in this embodiment are part of the main supply system. 
So as not to complicate the drawings unnecessarily there has been omitted 
the means of insulation, using fully known techniques, which would be 
incorporated into the assembly of the special socket 24, as insulating 
plates, grommets, washers and other similar means. This would prevent 
short circuits or contacts with any other metal component of the concealed 
safe and which could represent a source of danger. If so desired the 
overall safety of the installation can be further enhanced by using a 
two-pole switch in place of a single pole switch 56', thus isolating the 
two wires 53 and 54 at the same time. Thus, in the event of an accidental 
polarity inversion, a supply to one of the terminal orifices 26 or 27 is 
avoided. 
It is clear that electrical layouts, other than those shown in the 
embodiment may be employed, this aspect not being directly pertinent to 
the invention. 
The concealed safe attains its maximum level of security when it is fitted 
with an alarm system which comes into operation automatically when the 
socket 24 is removed without the alarm system having previously been 
disconnected. 
In effect, this places one more obstacle in the path of a person who, by 
one means or another has overcome the difficulties and problems so far 
described. 
For this purpose the concealed safe has an automatic contactor 60 (FIGS. 
10, 11, 13) fitted behind the special socket 24 and in series with the 
electrical conductor 61 of an alarm circuit 62. This automatic contactor 
includes therein a switch 63 which prevents the supply of electric current 
needed to operate the alarm circuit. This switch 63 closes when the 
automatic contactor 60 is out of contact with a complementary stabilizing 
component 64, situated nearby. Preferably, the stabilizing component 64 
would be fitted inside the door-drawer 8 on its inner front face. 
It is clear that the alarm circuit 62 can only operate when the exterior 
alarm circuit switch 65 is closed. Then, the separation of the two basic 
components, the automatic contactor 60 and the stabilizer 64 causes the 
closure of the switch 63 which then causes the alarm circuit 62 to go into 
operation. This situation will occur when an unauthorized person 
interferes with the socket 24 and succeeds by one means or another in 
detaching it with the intention subsequently of forcing the lock 16 of the 
door-drawer 8. 
Persons who are party to the secret, will open the switch 65 prior to 
operating the socket 24 and thus prevent the alarm circuit 62 from 
functioning. 
The two wires of the electrical conductor 61 are fed to the area behind the 
socket 24 by the same route as the electrical conductors 53 and 54, that 
is, inside the protective tube 49 and through the gap 52. Two connectors 
66 and 67 allow the socket 24 to be dismantled for repair, adjustment or 
to be changed without the electrical conductor 61 interfering with the 
operation in question. 
FIG. 10 is a sketch of the arrangement of the components situated behind 
the socket 24. 
FIG. 11, also, is a sketch showing the relative positions of the automatic 
contactor 60 and the stabilizer 64. This shows clearly that on 
articulating the socket 24 around the hinge pin 34--34' of the hinge 29 
the two aforementioned components, that is the automatic contactor 60 and 
the stabilizer 64, on being separated will cause the closure of the switch 
63. 
FIG. 12 is a fragmentary view of the protective tube 49 containing therein 
the electrical conductors 53 and 54 of the power supply system and the two 
leads, positive and negative, of the electrical conductor 61 which are 
disconnected by the automatic contactor 60. 
FIG. 13 is solely one example of a circuit showing the electrical 
connections outside the concealed safe. It is assumed that these 
connections will have been made after the electrical leads will have been 
taken through the wall 68. It can be seen that the two switches 56' and 65 
are combined as a double circuit breaker so that the operation of 
disconnection and connection can be effected in one single manoeuvre. 
Moreover, if so desired this method of disconnection can be extended to 
all the conductors leading to the socket 24 in order to improve the safety 
and the efficiency of operation. 
Also it is pointed out that a visual alarm 69 and an audible alarm 70 have 
been drawn solely by way of examples, inasmuch as the number and nature 
thereof, acoustic, luminous, or other may be selected completely 
independently of the characteristics of this present invention. 
Finally it should be mentioned that in each case there exists the option of 
connecting the alarm circuit to the general mains supply or to an 
autonomous and independent power source which would ensure its continued 
operation even in the event, for some reason or other, of an interruption 
in the mains supply. FIG. 13 illustrates this double possibility with an 
autonomous battery 72 on the left of the diagram, the poles of which feed 
the two conductors 61 and 71. 
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or 
more together, may also find a useful application in other types of 
concealed safes differing from the types described above. 
While the invention has been illustrated and described as embodied in a 
concealed safe, it is not intended to be limited to the details shown, 
since various modifications and structural changes may be made without 
departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention. 
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of 
the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, 
readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, 
from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential 
characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.
