Mechanically Expandable/Collapsible and Electronically Secured Container

Abstract

This invention describes a container that is easily collapsible and expandable mechanically according to the dimensions of the assets to be contained in it. Boxing a small asset into a large container proves very storage inefficient. It also contains an electromechanically controlled locker to prevent unauthorized access to the contained assets.

1 . An asset container that is able to take a space saving collapsed form and easily expandable and resizable, comprising a basis box, an upper panel, a lower panel, beams between the upper panel and the lower panel, rectangular frames. 
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the said beams provide means for structural support 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein spacing between the said beams is shorter than the dimensions of the smallest asset to be contained in the container. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least two of the said beams are deployed on every side of the said container. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the said container further comprises wheels, providing means for easy movement of the said container. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the said beams at their shortest provide means for holding multiple collapsed said containers and means for preventing displacements of the said stacked containers. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the height and width of the said container can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the said assets to be contained. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein after unfolding the said side beams, a said standing container is made. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the said basis-box is horizontally expandable. 
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein a rectangular frame is pulled up above the said beams, providing means to serve as the top of the said container. 
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the said top rectangular frame comprises an inner frame that provides means as a cover for the said frame. 
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the said rectangular frame, the said inner frame and the said base frame can be stretched outward on a two dimensional plane in two directions, providing means for increasing the dimensions of the said container. 
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the said container further comprises an electromechanical locker, providing means for security by fastening the said inner frame of the said upper rectangular frame to the body of the main rectangular frame. 
   
   
       14 . The system in  claim 1 , wherein locking and unlocking of the said electromechanical locker is controlled via a smart card.
