Patent ID: 8807335

Claim:
An anti-theft safer for a cassette comprising a cassette receiving case and a locking device adapted to releasably secure the cassette inside the case, which cassette receiving case is a two-part case comprising a first cassette receiving case half and a second cassette receiving case half, which first cassette receiving case half and second cassette receiving case half together form an outer anti-theft safer for at least partially enclosing the cassette, wherein the locking device is comprised in any of the case halves which case halves are adapted to releasably lock together with the locking device for forming the cassette receiving case as one unit and for securing the cassette in the cassette receiving case, wherein the cassette receiving case halves are non-detachably coupled together after assembly for forming the case as a non-detachable unit both in the cassette securing position, when the locking device is locked in a closed state of the safer, and during cassette release or insertion, when the locking device is unlocked in an open state of the safer, wherein the case forming and cassette receiving halves are movably interconnected, such that the case halves are displaceable by sliding the halves in opposite directions in relation to each other in each open state of the safer when the locking device is unlocked and fixed in relation to each other in each closed state of the safer when the locking device is locked, wherein the outer anti-theft safer is configured to at least partially enclose two opposing side edges and opposing top and bottom edges of the cassette, wherein the cassette receiving case halves are coupled together by engagement between at least one tongue of the locking device and at least two grooves of a retaining device, wherein the at least one tongue engages at least a first one of the at least two grooves having a first depth when the locking device is locked in the closed safer state, and wherein the at least one tongue engages at least a second one of the at least two grooves having a second depth greater than the first depth of the first one of the at least two grooves when the locking device is unlocked in the open safer state.
