Abstract:
A zipper locking device, where the zipper locking device can include a lock portion and a pull tab portion. The zipper latch mechanism of the pull tab portion may fit into the lock portion, creating a locked zipper. The zipper locking device may be opened via a combination and/or a key. The zipper locking device can include a geo-location feature where the bag on which the zipper locking device is attached may be tracked. The zipper locking device may further include an alarm feature, where, when the zipper locking device is separated from the user by a pre-defined distance, an alarm may alert the user. In some embodiments, the zipper locking device may be self-closing.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a merchandise display security system for an article of merchandise is provided. The security system includes a cable comprising a plurality of conductors. The plurality of conductors is configured to transmit power and security signals or audio and security signals, and the plurality of conductors further configured to define a sense loop. The security system also includes a sensor operably engaged with the cable and configured to be removably attached to the headphones, and an alarm module for monitoring the status of the cable. The alarm module is configured to activate an alarm in response to interruption of the sense loop.
Abstract:
A key for a security device is provided. The key may include an electronic component configured to communicate with one or more security devices to initially receive one or more codes associated with each of the security devices. The key may also include a memory configured to store the one or more codes associated with the one or more security devices. The electronic component is configured to communicate with each of the one or more security devices for arming and/or disarming the security devices upon a matching of the code stored by the memory with the code associated with the security device.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure provides devices, systems and methods for securing a mobile platform with a security cable, employing an electronically controlled locking mechanism which may be in communication with the platform. A device may include a lock to mate with a lock receiver of the platform, and the lock is coupled to the cable; a locking mechanism driver module to controllably engage and release the lock from the lock receiver; and a communication interface module to receive a signal from the platform and to control the locking mechanism driver module based on the signal.
Abstract:
A merchandise security device for displaying an electronic item of merchandise includes a strain relief block configured for attachment to the merchandise and an alarming power cable configured for being electrically coupled to a power input port provided on the merchandise. The alarming power cable is routed through the strain relief block for reducing strain applied to the alarming power cable, which may prevent damaging the power input port or the portion of the alarming power cable extending between the strain relief block and the power input port.
Abstract:
An adhesive label, tether, or insert comprises a conductive trace. The label, tether, or insert is positioned inside a package and a security module attached to a portion of the label, tether, or insert exposed to the outside of the package. Product conducts are attached to the label, tether, or insert within the package. Removal of the product breaks the conductive trace and causes the security module to generate an alarm.
Abstract:
A system and method for displaying merchandise item is presented. A disposable merchandise display includes a disposable display stand, an alarm unit and tethers. The disposable display stand is interchangeable with other disposable display stands and the alarm unit. The disposable display stand further includes one or more display areas for displaying merchandise items and allowing for the handling of the merchandise times. The alarm unit is configured to be placed inside the disposable display stand. Each of the tethers can be connected between the alarm unit and a corresponding merchandise item. The alarm unit is configured to generate an alarm when a merchandise item displayed at the merchandise display is moved away from the disposable merchandise display or a tether is cut.
Abstract:
An antitheft sensor system includes a covering which is placed around an object to be protected (such as a cable). Sensor wires are located in the covering. Signals are sent through the sensor wires and the wires are monitored for changes in the signals (such as changes in wire resistance) that may indicate theft or tampering. The system allows determination of theft or tampering of objects which may be operated only infrequently, such as conductors bridging rails.
Abstract:
A sensor (10) for attachment to an item of merchandise includes a housing (20) defining an interior cavity (22) and an electrical circuit (24) disposed within the interior cavity. A power adapter cord (50) having a length and containing one or more conductors is connected at one end to the electrical circuit and at the other end to the item of merchandise to supply electrical power to the item of merchandise. At least a portion of the length of the power adapter cord is retractable into the interior cavity of the housing by a wheel (54) disposed and rotatably mounted within the interior cavity. The wheel has a large diameter portion and a small diameter hub portion (56) that depends from the large diameter portion and on which the retractable portion of the length of the power adapter cord is wound when the wheel is rotated relative to the housing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a security sensor (10) comprising a sensing device (21), a coming optical fiber element and a going optical fiber element, the sensing device (21) comprising a housing that receives a first end of the coming element and a first end of the going element. It is characterized in that the first end of the coming element and the first end of the going element in the housing are not aligned, and in that when a light beam enters the housing through the first end of the coming element, at least part of said light beam is reflected within the housing and exits through the first end of the going element.
