 Protective cover for key safe

A lock box, or key safe, is provided with a light weight, flexible, shock-absorbing jacket to minimize or eliminate marking, denting, or other damage caused by the box's inadvertently contacting areas adjacent to where it is mounted. The presently preferred jacket material is crosslinked closed cell polyethylene foam.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In the drawing, protective jacket 10 has the general shape of a shallow open box, comprising back panel 11, left side panel 12, right side panel 13, bottom end panel 14, and top end panel 15.
Top panel 15 is provided with holes 16, slit 17 extending from at least one hole 16 to the open edge of panel 15.
Turning to FIGS.
2 and 3, key safe 20 has rear, side, and end panels (not shown) and front panel 21, which is fitted with removable plate 22, combination dial 23 being mounted on plate 22 and providing a means of removing it.
When the proper combination is entered, button 24, mounted on plate 22, can be slid downward to provide access to the interior of key safe 20.
Extending from the top of key safe 20 is inverted U-shaped shackle 25, typically covered with rubber or vinyl tubing to minimize marring of the door knob or other hardware to which shackle 25 may be attached.
One leg of shackle 25 remains in the interior of key safe 20 at all times, but shackle 25 is usually spring loaded so that unlocking it causes it to pop upward, releasing one leg, and enabling it to rotate around the other leg.
When jacket 10 is mounted on key safe 20, one hole 16 may be threaded over shackle 25 and seated at the location where the permanently located leg emerges from the top of key safe 20.
The other hole 16 is then positioned over the hole in the top of key safe 20 through which shackle 25 is inserted.
The remainder of jacket 10 is then maneuvered around the back, sides, and bottom end of key safe 20.
In this arrangement, shackle 25 ensures that jacket 10 will remain in position on key safe 20.
If desired, the mounting of jacket 10 on key safe 20 can be simplified by providing slit 17 from hole 16 to the open edge of top panel 15; slit 17 permits easier mounting of jacket 10, the permanently anchored leg of shackle 25 merely being forced through slit 17 into hole 16.
It is feasible, of course, to have a slit 17 extending from each hole, so that jacket 10 can be readily installed on key safe 20 even when the shackle is closed, as when the key safe is already positioned for use
