Abstract
A device to be incorporated in a container for valuables comprises a first reservoir ( ) containing a liquid coloring material or a noxious gas, preferably an ink, a second reservoir ( ) containing a pressurized gas, and an actuator ( ) connected to a detection system. The pressurized gas is liberated if required by the detection system. The first reservoir ( ) is able to collapse under the sudden increase in pressure resulting from the release of the gas. The content of the first reservoir is ejected through a retaining valve and an elongated perforated pipe ( ) for spraying the valuables.
