Abstract

The holder has a mechanical locking means coupled to a holder member (1) and in the non use position preventing the object from being removed. The locking means in the useful position enables the object to be removed and is coupled to a mechanical acoustic signal transmitter (3) which then triggers an acoustic signal when the locking means is brought from the non use position into the useful position and/or vice versa. The locking means can have a cable pulley (20) connected at one end to the acoustic signal transmitter.

Description

The Invention relates to a holder for objects according to the preamble of Claim 1.

In many cases there is a need to store individual items on a holder, taking the items should be done in a controlled manner.

On typical application for such brackets is the provision of goods or packaging in retail stores. If individual goods clearly are often offered on rod-like holding devices arranged, from which the customer can easily remove the goods. For this purpose, the goods or the goods packaging have an opening, in which the rod-like Bracket can intervene. Typical applications for such Product offers are batteries, condoms or razor blades. But also electronic small parts and goods are increasingly on such rod-like Brackets offered.

all Common to these goods is that they are relatively expensive, so they preferred targets of shoplifters. It is because of the known brackets easily possible a variety of goods or packaging with just one hand to strip off the holder and disappear into a pocket allow. This causes a lot of damage to retailers, which is partially compensated for by the fact that such goods are only available from Sales personnel can be released; that is costly.

The The present invention has for its object a device to create so that the mass unauthorized tapping of Goods or goods packaging is made difficult in a simple manner.

This The object is achieved by a Bracket with the features of claim 1 solved.

there it is essential that one coupled to at least one holding means mechanical locking means is provided, the locking means Intended use in a non-use position of an object prevented by the at least one holding means and the locking means is removed as intended in a position of use of an object from at least one holding means. At least one mechanical, coupled to the locking means Acoustic signal generator is used to then give an acoustic signal triggered will when the locking means from the non-use position is brought into the use position or vice versa. So it will always triggered a signal if changed from the use position to the non-use position and / or vice versa. This means that one tone can be triggered at a time from one position to the other or with everyone Change of positions.

By it is the use of a mechanical acoustic signal generator not necessary to connect the bracket to a power supply or To use batteries. Both would increase the maintenance or installation effort. By blocking the Acceptance of items in the non-use position, objects are prevented from being taken off unnoticed become.

A advantageous embodiment has a locking means with a cable, the one End of the cable is connected to the acoustic signal generator. It is particularly advantageous if the cable is moved from a non-use position via a button can be brought into a position of use, the actuation of Button changed the position of the cable becomes.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the holder has at least a button has at least one dimension that is in the non-use position is bigger as at least one opening of the object so that the button does not go through in this position the opening is movable. The button blocks removal in this position of the object from the holding means.

there it is beneficial if dependent of change the position of the cable the acoustic signal of the acoustic signal generator triggered becomes.

A particularly simple design of the acoustic signal generator before if this is designed as a bell, in particular a bicycle bell is and if the clapper the bell is connected to part of the locking means.

at Another advantageous embodiment is the holding means as Hook, in particular designed as a shelf hook.

The Invention is described below with reference to the figures of the Drawings on several embodiments explained in more detail. It demonstrate:

1 a schematic side view of a first embodiment of the holder according to the invention in a non-use position of a locking means;

2 a schematic side view egg ner first embodiment of the holder according to the invention in a position of use of the locking means;

3 is a schematic side view of a second embodiment of the holder according to the invention, in a non-use position;

4 is a schematic side view of a third embodiment of the holder according to the invention in a non-use position;

5 schematic plan view of an embodiment of the holder according to the invention.

In 1 a first embodiment of the holder according to the invention is shown in a side view. The holder is intended to accommodate the packaging of goods, not shown here 30 , such as blister packs, batteries or razor blades (see for this 5 ). Such goods packaging have a known manner 30 an opening so that the goods packaging 30 on rod-like mounts 1 can be postponed. The problem is that this valuable merchandise packaging is easy to remove from the rod-shaped holders 1 can be pushed down so that the theft of large quantities of valuable goods is easily possible.

The first embodiment of the holder according to the invention 1 assumes such an object by this embodiment a substantially rod-shaped holding means 1 on which the goods packaging 30 can be pushed. Basically, the holding means can also consist of several rods or a wire loop that goes into the opening of the goods packaging 30 can intervene. At one end, in 1 right, is the holding device 1 attached to a wall or frame.

The holding means points at the opposite end 1 a curvature upwards so that the goods packaging 30 not unintentionally from the holding means 1 can slip off. However, this curvature alone is not a means of increasing the security against theft. The holding means is thus essentially designed as a hook, which can be arranged, for example, as a shelf hook on a corresponding wall in the sales room.

The goods packaging is in the non-use position A. 30 arranged in the area X of the holding means. The area X is at the end where the goods packaging 30 can be removed from the holder means by a button 21 limited. The key 21 blocks the opening in the goods packaging 30 because the button 21 has a larger dimension than the opening.

The key 21 is part of a locking agent 2 , the key 21 with a cable 20 connected in the holding means 1 is arranged. The cable pull 20 is constructed here in the manner of a Bowden cable, ie it is essentially not elastic. At one end of the holding means 1 (here on the left) is the cable pull 20 firmly with the holder means 1 connected.

At the other end is the cable pull 20 with a mechanical, acoustic signal transmitter 3 connected. The mechanical, acoustic signal generator 3 is designed here as a bicycle bell, the cable 20 with the clapper of the signal generator inside 3 connected is. In alternative embodiments, the signal generator 20 also below the holding means 1 or be arranged on the wall. There only needs to be a connection between the locking system 2 and the acoustic signal generator 3 consist.

Should be a goods packaging 30 from the holding means 1 be taken, so the button 21 pressed down from the non-use position A to the use position B. The goods packaging 30 can now hold the front 1 be removed because the button 20 the opening of the goods packaging 30 no longer blocked.

By pressing the button 21 the cable is pushed down, which is in 2 is shown. Because the cable 20 is essentially inelastic, the free end of the cable pull 20 (here to the left) moves, the clapper in the acoustic signal generator 3 is deflected so that the acoustic signal generator 3 ringtone.

This signals that at least one goods package 30 from the holding means 1 was taken. The acoustic signal is the unnoticed removal of goods packaging 30 not possible anymore.

The second embodiment of the holder according to the invention is in 3 shown, the principle of operation is similar to the first embodiment.

Here the locking means 2 a relatively stiff wire 20 that can transmit a compressive force. As long as the wire 20 from the holding means 1 stands out, no goods packaging 30 unnoticed by the holding means 2 subtracted from.

By pushing the wire in 20 from a non-use position A to a use position B it is possible for the goods packaging 30 can be deducted. The free end of the wire 20 is with a clapper a bicycle bell 3 coupled as an acoustic signal generator, the unlike in the first embodiment Deflection from the use position A to the non-use position B is caused by a compressive force.

In 4 is a third embodiment as a modification of the first embodiment ( 1 . 2 ).

This third embodiment comes without one at the free end of the holding means 1 arranged curvature. Blockage of goods packaging 30 is now only done via the button 21 ,

5 shows a schematic plan view of the holder according to the invention according to the first embodiment with goods packaging 30 that on the holding means 1 are arranged. After pressing the button 21 can the goods packaging 30 from the holding means 1 be removed.

The Invention limited themselves in their execution not to the preferred embodiments given above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable, that of the holder according to the invention also in principle different types Make use.
