Description

Article surveillance unit and assembly thereof
Relate generally to of the present invention prevents to make the stolen measure of article, more more specifically, relates to eas (EAS) marker assemblies that uses with manufacture.
The form of widely used a kind of eas (EAS) mark is the flat flexible rectangular member that approach, and its usefulness sticker is on the flat or curved exterior surface of article.The shortcoming of the application on this outer surface is that though usually covered by bar-code label, the existence of EAS mark is still obvious, because it can be found out from the side of bar-code label.In addition, the EAS mark can be approaching by client.
In the U.S. Patent No. of generally transferring the possession of 5988462, a kind of clothing link is disclosed, it has overcome above-mentioned shortcoming.Wherein, propose a kind of clothing link, it is made up of body, a middle part and a bottom of a monoblock.This body has one to be used to admit a hook portion of showing rod, and this mid portion is sagging from hook portion, and this bottom is used for engaging with the article that are demonstrated.A dimple of outer surface that leads to the middle part is defined at this middle part, and the size of this dimple is suitable for placing the EAS mark in hook.One bar-code label or similar dimple closure member are fixed on the mid portion surface, become the stacked relation of adjacency with it, and seal the EAS mark of being placed.
Answer to the problems referred to above can be comprised in the shell that can be fixed on the manufacturing article EAS mark, it is characterized by, and shell can not be found out the EAS mark.
Main purpose of the present invention is used in the improved EAS mark of making on the article for providing.
More specifically purpose of the present invention is for providing the EAS that is used on the cable assembly mark.
Another purpose of the present invention is for providing improved article surveillance unit.
For achieving the above object, one aspect of the present invention provides a cable assembly by combination, this assembly comprises that a cable and is connected to an electrical connector and the shell on the cable, this shell defines one and is used for the opposite outer casing end of cable from its passage that passes through and encirclement cable, the relation that outer casing end and electrical connector become to face, shell has an EAS member that is fixed therein, on the outer shell passage next door.
On the other hand, the invention provides an article surveillance unit, it comprises first and second casing components, and they link together and define a jointing line, and one in first and second casing components is defined the structure that overlaps with jointing line.
Aforementioned and other purpose of the present invention and characteristic will be from the following detailed description of its preferred embodiment and accompanying drawing and further clear, and in the accompanying drawings, same part is discerned with same reference number all over.
Fig. 1 is a cable assembly and according to the front elevation view of article surveillance unit of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is the right side elevational view of Fig. 1.
The cutaway view that Fig. 3 looks for the planar I II-III from Fig. 1.
Fig. 4 is a cable assembly and according to the front elevation view of another article surveillance unit of the present invention.
Fig. 5 is the right side elevational view of Fig. 4.
Comprise cable 10 referring to Fig. 1~3, one cable assembly, its end is one to have the plug 12 of common pin 14 and 16.What be assembled together with cable 10 is article surveillance unit 18.Unit 18 is made up of casing component 20 and 22, and they are fixed to one another along jointing line SL.
As what see in the cutaway view of Fig. 3, each casing component 20 and 22 defines the passage of a semicircle, and when casing component was fixed to one another, they defined a circular channel jointly, and its diameter holds the cable 10 that is present in wherein.Casing component 22 comprises from its clamp structure 24 and 26 to upper process.Casing component 20 has window 28 and 30, and they lead to periphery and in the fastening strut rail 32 of window bottom portion defining and 34.
Casing component 20 defines a vertical dimple, and this dimple forms therein and is the boundary with end face 36 and sidewall 38 and 34.
When arriving the assembly of Fig. 1, EAS member 42 just is fixed on the end face by glue-line 44.Cable 10 just is placed in the semi-circular channel of casing component 20 now.Casing component 22 is arranged in the below of casing component 20 now, and clamp structure 24 and 26 aligns with window 28 and 30, now firmly pushes away casing component each other, so that clamp structure 24 and 26 fastened strut rails pin.
Turn over to Figure 4 and 5, the article surveillance unit shown in it comprises the casing component 22 of Fig. 1~3, but has casing component 46 to combine with it.Casing component 46 is that with the difference of the casing component 20 of Fig. 1~3 casing component 46 has bigger external diameter, with define one with the jointing line overlap joint, just the structure of stretching downwards from jointing line makes it to prevent in use separately casing component 46 and 22.
Above-mentioned article surveillance unit provides a kind of selection to cable assembly distributors, i.e. retrieval unit and make EAS component failure (Fig. 1~3) when article are checked, or after inefficacy, the unit is retained in the cable assembly.
Obviously, can carry out various changes and not break away from the present invention disclosed especially embodiment and practice.For example, cable assembly can have the cable of square-section, and casing component can have the passage of half rectangle that forms therein.Therefore, will be appreciated that special discussion of the present invention and the preferred embodiment of quoting and practice are intended to as an illustration, and the hard-core meaning.True spirit of the present invention and scope are stipulated in appended claims.
