Abstract

Security systems for the protection of rooms containing valuables against the exit of unauthorized persons, particularly for cashier'"'"''"'"'s boxes in banks, strong rooms or similar business premises, including electrodes in a position to come into contact with an intruder and means to secure the intruder to the electrode to thereby prevent escape.

Claims

1. A security system for demobilizing an intruder or the like comprising an electrode positioned to be contacted by the intruder, electrical means for producing an electrical current through said electrode and into an object in contact with said electrode, and means operable in conjunction with said electrode to adhesively attach to said electrode the object in contact with said electrode.

2. A security system as defined in claim 1 and including said electrode being disposed within the floor of an area to be protected and including heating means for heating said electrode upon electrical current being directed through said electrode.

3. The security system as defined in claim 2 and in which said heating means are disposed beneath said electrode to effect a transfer of heat to the surface of said electrode.

4. The security system as defined in claim 2 and including at least one cavity formed in the upper surface of said electrode and said heating means being disposed within said cavity.

5. The security system as defined in claim 1 and including means operable to deliver a liquid to the surface of said electrode to thereby increase the electric conductivity of the areas in contact with said electrode.

6. The security system as defined in claim 5 and in which said liquid is an adhesive and produces an adhesion between the areas of the object and the electrode which are in contact.

7. The security system according to claim 5 and in which the liquid is operable to dissolve material such as rubber in contact with said electrode.

8. The security system as defined in claim 5 and including a plurality of bores formed in said electrode and means for connecting said bores with said liquid.

9. The security system as defined in claim 5 and in which said electrode has a plurality of cavities formed in the upper surface thereof and including means for connecting said liquid to said cavities.

10. A security system as defined in claim 1 especially for use at cashier'"'"''"'"'s windows and banks and the like and in which said electrode is arranged in the floor in front of said cashier'"'"''"'"'s window and including a second electrode arranged in the counter of said cashier'"'"''"'"'s window.

11. The security system as defined in claim 10 and including partition walls formed in front of said cashier'"'"''"'"'s window, said partition walls being constructed of an electrical conductive material and being connected with said electrical means to form a third electrode.

12. The security system as defined in claim 1 and in which said electrode is subdivided into several single elements each connected to a different electrical source to provide a series of different electrical circuits.

13. The security system as defined in claim 6 and including heating means and said adhesive being meltable under the influence of heat.
