发明名称 SAFES & RELATED LOCKING ENCLOSURES
摘要 Safes and related locking enclosures. In some embodiments, the locking enclosures may comprise a clutch mechanism configured to have an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. In the engaged configuration, the clutch mechanism may be configured to allow for transfer of torque to an element, such as a crank plate. In the disengaged configuration, the clutch mechanism may be configured to prevent or at least reduce such transfer of torque.

主权项 1. A locking enclosure, comprising: a crank shaft; a crank plate coupled with the crank shaft; a locking mechanism, wherein the crank shaft is configured such that, following an unlocking of the locking mechanism, rotation of the crank shaft unlocks the safe to allow for access to an interior of the safe; and a clutch mechanism coupled with the crank shaft and configured to have an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration, wherein, in the engaged configuration, the clutch mechanism is configured to transfer torque from the crank shaft to the crank plate, wherein, in the disengaged configuration, the clutch mechanism is configured to allow the crank shaft to rotate with respect to the crank plate such that torque from the crank shaft is not transferred to the crank plate, and wherein the clutch mechanism comprises: a clutch housing;a plurality of ball bearing openings positioned within the clutch housing;a plurality of ball bearings positioned within the plurality of ball bearing openings; andat least one spring member coupled to the clutch housing, wherein the clutch mechanism is configured such that, upon application of a predetermined amount of torque, the clutch mechanism is configured to enter the disengaged configuration, andwherein the clutch mechanism is configured to allow for tuning a sensitivity of the clutch mechanism by adjusting the predetermined amount of torque.
