Definitions

• the invention relates to a container for receiving an object to be protected against theft, in particular a CD or video cassette.
• Such a device obviates the otherwise usual method of avoiding theft, to only display empty cassettes for sale and to store the CD disks at the cash register, which necessitates the CD disks delivered in the cassettes before the sale of the To separate cassettes.
• the cassettes serving as packaging for CD disks have a number of holes on their narrow sides due to the manufacturing process, which holes are suitable for a locking mechanism on a frame to secure them against theft. If, however, the object to be protected against theft has no such holes for a locking mechanism, such as a video cassette, the known security method can no longer be used. This applies in the same way to music cassettes or a plurality of CD cassettes as a multipack.
• the present invention was therefore based on the object of creating a container for holding objects to be protected against theft, which themselves are not used for the engagement of a locking mechanism and which can have any shape which the magnetic strip or electronic switch is used for ⁇ circle provided container is suitably matched in its dimensions.
• the task includes in particular to create a container that cannot be opened by unauthorized persons and that is designed for opening with the aid of a special tool and is nevertheless designed so uncomplicatedly that it can be manufactured very inexpensively because it is an additional one Investment expenditure to protect against theft.
• the container has the features of claim 1.
• Inexpensive manufacture means that the container, which consists of a lower part and an upper part 1, is two in each case one-piece plastic injection molded part 1 e, which already has all the elements for a hinge connection on one side and a container closure on the opposite side without additional parts during its manufacture, so that the container assembled from the lower part and upper part can no longer be opened by unauthorized persons and can only be opened with the help of a special tool.
• the container can be produced for objects of different sizes such as video cassettes or CD cassettes in different sizes and with a matching design of the shaped elements for the hinge connection and the container closure.
• Figure 1 shows the lower part of the container in plan view.
• Figure 2 shows the top of the container in plan view, seen from the inside.
• Figure 3 shows the lower part of the container in a diagram.
• FIGS. 1 and 2 show a detail and on a larger scale of a detail of the hinge connection between the lower part and the upper part according to the section line 5-5 in FIGS. 1 and 2;
• FIG. 6 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 5 in the sectional plane according to line 6-6 in FIGS. 1 and 2;
• FIGS. 1 and 2 show a detail and on a larger scale with the container closure according to the line 7-7 in FIGS. 1 and 2;
• FIG. 9 shows the completely closed and inverted container similar to FIG. 8;
• Fig. 10 detail and on a larger scale the inverted container and the special tool that can be opened.
• the container for holding an object to be protected against theft consists of a lower part 1, shown in a top view in FIG. 1 and a diagram in FIG. 3, which is made in one piece from plastic material, and a top view in FIG. 2 of FIG the inside and in Fig. 4 graphically shown upper part 2, which is also made in one piece from plastic material.
• the lower container part 1 has a bottom surface 3 with two openings 4 in the central area for weight saving and four side walls 5, 6, 7, and 8.
• a central wall section 9 is set back somewhat inward, which has a hook-shaped upper edge zone 10 in the vertical section.
• the shape of the edge zone 10, which is open towards the outside, is more clearly shown in FIG. 5.
• the container upper part 2 has a lid surface 11 with a large recess 12 for saving weight and for better reading of a label on the object contained in the container, such as a CD cassette, and also four side walls 13, 14, 15 and 16.
• a wall section 17 is also offset inwards in the middle and has an edge zone 18 that is hook-shaped in vertical section, the shape of which is clearer from FIG. 5. With the hook shape open to the inside, this edge zone 18 engages in the edge zone 10 of the lower part 1, so that when the two container parts are joined together, these two edge zones 10 and 18 form a hinge connection.
• a container closure which is also made in one piece on the lower part 1 and in the upper part 2 from the plastic material, serves to close the container.
• an inwardly recessed wall section 30 in the vertical section is hook-shaped in the central region, and this wall section projects above the upper edge of the side wall 8 as a tongue and is on
• the upper end 31 is of hook-shaped design in the vertical section and has an oblique surface 32 in this hook-shaped end section.
• a vertical slot 33 divides the tongue-shaped wall section 30 into two sections of the same width.
• a likewise inwardly recessed wall section 34 on the upper part 2 on the side wall 16 is also hook-shaped in the vertical section and directed inward with the hook opening, so that when the container is closed, the two are opposed directed hook areas interlocking against each other lying wall sections 30 and 34 and form the container closure.
• the exact cross-sectional shape of the wall sections 30 and 34 can be seen from FIG. 7 shown on a larger scale.
• the wall section 34 moves on the upper part over the run-up inclined surface 32 of the tongue-shaped wall section 30 in order to reach the latching position according to FIG. 7. Due to the property of the plastic material used, the inside wall section 30 and the outside wall section 34 snap into the firing position of the container.
• the two side walls 8 and 16 of the container lower part 1 and the container upper part 2 are held exactly flush with one another without the possibility of a transverse displacement, so that the intermediate container closure from the two hook-shaped wall sections 30 and 34 requires only greater force and can only be opened with the help of a special tool that is only available to the sales staff.
• the wall section 34 which is of hook-shaped design on the outside, is spaced apart from one another two through holes 41.
• the special tool 42 shown in detail has two bolts 43 which are arranged at a distance from one another and can be pushed through the through bores 41 in order to disengage the container closure by pressure against the inner wall sections 30.
• the container with the upper part is shown below.
• the container carries a magnetic strip (not shown) on the upper part or lower part or a corresponding device for triggering an alarm.
• hinge connection 9, 10 and 17, 18 could e.g. be provided in the end areas of the side walls 6 or 14 (or, as required, in the end areas and in the middle wall section).
• the means 30, 34 for forming the snap lock which can also be provided in the corresponding end regions and, if appropriate, in the central region of the side walls 7 and 16, respectively.
