Abstract
Abstract A security box adapted to be mounted on a bicycle bar comprises a tubular container slidably mounted in a sleeve member. The container has a sliding cover at one end which locks by a tongue arrangement which engages the container per se. The container has a pin retractably projecting through its periphery and adapted to penetrate into a recess in the sleeve member. The pin can be retracted from the recess only from the inside of the container. The sleeve member which is fastened to the bicycle bar cannot be unfastened when the container is in the sleeve member.
