摘要:
An antitheft device for marking articles for sale and comprising two members, which automatically interlock one another when one member is inserted in a cavity in the other member, the first member being a rod-shaped body with a completely or partially pointed insertion end, whereby said rod-shaped body is capable of engaging for instance balls loosely arranged in the cavity of the second member, a third member of magnetizable material being inserted below the loosely arranged balls, whereby a resilient member with an upward driving force is placed below said third member. According to the invention the resilient member is an annular plastic member with inward connecting parts connected to a centrally arranged disk-shaped plastic member pressing against the third member in the cavity, the annular plastic member being secured by way of squeezing to an annular groove in the bottom of the housing. As a result, the assembling of the members of the lock is facilitated and the bottom and the spring can be formed in one piece. An additional cavity may be provided around the cavity of the lock, said additional cavity containing a colored liquid.

In a device for deterring theft of a protected article, including a pin and clutch respectively embodied in two components that are adapted to be locked together on opposite sides of a portion of the protected article to prevent unauthorized removal of the device from the article, the pin-containing component contains two fragile elongated glass vials that fracture when at least a predetermined pressure is applied thereto, with the vials containing a detrimental substance that would damage an article attached to the device if such substance were to be released from the vial; and the head of the pin includes a breaker element having a wedge-shaped surface of a fiber-loaded-reinforced thermoplastic, (which does not scratch glass), for applying more than the predetermined pressure against the vial in response to the pinhead being moved in response to application to the two components of at least a predetermined threshold separation force, to thereby completely fracture the vials by inducing a high bending stress without prematurely cracking the vials, and to thereby release the substance contained therein before the components are separated by prying or pulling the components apart. A pliable seal is disposed between the breaker element and the vials for preventing the detrimental substance that is released from the fractured vials from entering the head space and for expelling the released detrimental substance through the adjacent opening in response to pressure applied against the seal by the breaker element by the movement of the pinhead that results in the vials being fractured.

A theft deterrent device includes a locking portion and a housing portion. The locking portion includes a locking mechanism. The housing portion includes a housing portion wall. The housing portion wall comprises a first material and is configured to house a second material within the housing portion wall. The second material is made of a different material than the first material. The second material is selected such that a cutting tool will be hindered when trying to cut through the housing portion.

An EAS tag includes a cap component with a tack shaft. The cap component is contoured to engage with a body component. The body component has a clutch for receiving and retaining the tack shaft. The shape of the body component and the cap component, along with the position of the tack shaft, provide an initial resistance to twisting the cap with respect to the body. Both the cap and body components may have additional features which interact or interlock to prevent the cap from being twisted. Additionally, the EAS tag may incorporate a staining agent-based benefit denial system. The EAS tag is further adapted to be reusable after actuation of the benefit denial system, and includes a visual indication of a compartment containing a staining agent to serve as a visual deterrent to shoplifters.

A device (10; 20) for marking an item for the purpose of its identification, includes: a tip (14; 24) designed to pass through the item to be marked or a packaging containing this item, a head (12; 22) that has two opposite surfaces, with the tip extending from a first surface of the two surfaces, characterized in that on the side of the second opposite surface, the head has a printed zone that is protected by a transparent protective cover (16; 30).
摘要:
A security tag that includes two different types of item-securing mechanisms within a single apparatus. The apparatus includes a first arm portion and a second arm portion forming a product clamping region, the product clamping region having a clamp to removably affix the tag to a product, and a third arm portion and a fourth arm portion forming a product piercing region, the product piecing region coupled to the product clamping region. The product piercing region includes a product piercing element to removably affix the tag to the product. Bringing together the arm portions of the product piercing region causes the arm portions of the clamping region to join together, thereby trapping a piece of a product therebetween. The piercing element of the product piercing region is retained by a latch which assists in keeping the arm portions of the clamping region together, thus retaining the product securely within the clamping region.
摘要:
An EAS/expulsion detrimental substance tag (101) in which the tag is held to an article by an attaching assembly, a part of which may be releasably prevented from being withdrawn from the body of the tag. The tag body may be provided with one or more sensors, that are disposed in the body. The sensors are positioned adjacent the detrimental substance. The Benefit Denial (Ink portion) of this tag may feature an ink vial. When the tag and its ink vial are attacked, the tag will expel the detrimental substance out and onto the article being protected.

An EAS/EXPULSION DETRIMENTAL SUBTANCE tag in which the tag is held to an article by an attaching assembly, a part of which may be releasably prevented from being withdrawn from the body of the tag. The tag body may be provided with an arcuate channel through which an arcuate detacher probe can be guided for releasing the attaching assembly part. A spring clamp may provide the releasable preventing function and may include jaws specifically adapted to respond to in-plane torsional and/or other forces provided by the arcuate probe, which may be moved through the arcuate channel by rotation to reach the spring clamp. An abutment may be placed within the arcuate channel to prevent a relatively rigid wire formed into an arcuate shape from being used to release the attaching assembly part. The Benefit Denial (Ink portion) of this tag may feature an ink vial that may be disposed inside of a rubber bladder, which may then be placed in a completely sealed, ultrasonically welded compartment. In one embodiment, when the tag and its ink vial are attacked, the tag will expel the detrimental substance out and onto the article being protected. In another embodiment, when the tag is attacked, the detrimental substance may be forced out of the bladder and then into a channel and then out a hole in the rampart area and may stain the article that is being protected.
摘要:
A security tag assembly structured to indicate the unauthorized removal of merchandise from a given area such as a retail establishment. A housing includes separable portions having a connector member structured to removably connect the merchandise to the housing and positionable into removable and locking engagement with a locking assembly when the housing is in an operative position relative to the merchandise. A shield assembly is mounted on the housing in protective, preferably surrounding or at least partially enclosing relation to the locking assembly so as to restrict unauthorized access to the locking assembly and/or the positioning thereof relative to the connector member.
