Abstract

The method according to the invention consists in providing an object to be secured, or its packaging, with two securing devices which use different principles, to be specific, with a device having a resonant circuit (tuned circuit) or with a device having magnetised strips. In a preferred manner, the two securing devices are fitted one on top of the other at the same point on the object to be secured, for example on a common support, this support itself being capable of comprising one of the two securing devices.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Diebstahlsicherung von Gegenständen mittels an den zu sichernden Gegenständen anzubringenden Sicherungsvorrichtungen in Form von an einem flachen Träger vorgesehenen Resonanzschwingkreisen oder von magnetisiertem Streifenmaterial, welche im aktivierten Zustand beim unberechtigten Passieren eines Durchgangs mit einer Alarm-Schaltung einen Alarm auslösen.The present invention relates to a method for theft protection of objects by means of security devices to be attached to the objects to be secured in the form of resonant resonant circuits provided on a flat carrier or of magnetized strip material which, in the activated state, trigger an alarm when an unauthorized passage occurs with an alarm circuit.

Ebenfalls Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung eines solchen Verfahrens.The invention also relates to a device for carrying out such a method.

Derartige Verfahren zur Diebstahlsicherung von Gegenständen sind seit längerer Zeit bekannt und haben sich in der Praxis mit befriedigenden Erfolgen durchgesetzt. Die Sicherungsvorrichtungen werden dabei sehr oft bereits an einer zentralen Stelle auf den zu sichernden Gegenständen oder deren unverlierbar damit verbundenen Verpackungen angebracht und die Gegenstände erst anschliessend an das Verkaufsgeschäft ausgeliefert. Damit besteht auch Gewähr, dass praktisch keine Fehler entstehen, d.h. dass sämtliche zu sichernden Gegenstände mit Sicherungsvorrichtungen versehen sind. Dieses Vorgehen hat allerdings einen gewichtigen Nachteil, indem in dieser zentralen Stelle dafür zu sorgen ist, dass die für den Abnehmer richtige Sicherungsvorrichtung aufgebracht wird, d.h. eine Sicherungsvorrichtung, welche sich für das im Verkaufslokal vorgesehene Sicherungssystem eignet. Dabei versteht sich von selbst, dass ein Sicherungssystem, welches mit Resonanzetiketten arbeitet (Radiofrequenz), nur auf eine entsprechende Alarm-schaltung anzusprechen vermag, und dasselbe ebenfalls für das System mit Magnetstreifen gilt.Such methods for theft protection of objects have been known for a long time and have been successfully implemented in practice. The securing devices are very often already attached at a central point on the objects to be secured or their packaging, which is captively connected to them, and the objects are only then delivered to the sales business. This also ensures that practically no errors occur, ie that all objects to be secured are provided with safety devices. However, this procedure has a major disadvantage in that it must be ensured in this central point that the correct safety device for the customer is applied, ie a safety device which is suitable for the safety system provided in the sales outlet. It goes without saying that a security system that works with resonance labels (radio frequency) can only respond to a corresponding alarm circuit, and the same also applies to the system with magnetic strips.

Die für das Aufbringen der Sicherungsvorrichtungen verantwortliche Zentralstelle sollte vom Risiko entbunden werden können, für bestimmte Abnehmer die richtige oder gegebenenfalls falsche Sicherungsvorrichtung anzubringen.The central body responsible for installing the safety devices should be able to be released from the risk of installing the correct or possibly incorrect safety device for certain customers.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Lösung zu finden, um dieses Risiko auszuschalten.The object of the present invention is to find a solution to eliminate this risk.

Dies wird beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch erreicht, dass jeder zu sichernde Gegenstand oder dessen unverlierbar damit verbundene Verpackung sowohl mit einer Sicherungsvorrichtung mit Resonanzschwingkreis als auch mit einer Sicherungsvorrichtung mit magnetisiertem Streifenmaterial versehen wird.In the method according to the invention, this is achieved in that each object to be secured or its packaging, which is captively connected to it, is provided both with a securing device with a resonant circuit and with a securing device with magnetized strip material.

Vorzugsweise können die beiden verschiedenartig arbeitenden Sicherungsvorrichtungen direkt übereinander am zu sichernden Gegenstand oder dessen Verpackung angebracht werden, wobei vorzugsweise eine der Vorrichtungen direkt unter der anderen Vorrichtung angebracht wird, und dabei in besonders zweckmässiger Weise die beiden Sicherungsvorrichtungen auf einem gemeinsamen Träger angebracht werden. Dieser Träger kann von einer der beiden Sicherungsvorrichtungen selbst gebildet sein.Preferably, the two differently functioning securing devices can be attached directly one above the other to the object to be secured or its packaging, preferably one of the devices being attached directly below the other device, and the two securing devices being attached in a particularly expedient manner on a common carrier. This carrier can itself be formed by one of the two securing devices.

Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, allerdings mit wesentlich höherem Kostenaufwand, anstelle von zwei verschiedenen auf den zu sichernden Gegenständen anzubringenden Sicherungsvorrichtungen den zu passierenden Durchgang sowohl mit einem auf die einen Resonanzschwingkreis enthaltende Sicherungsvorrichtung an einem zu sichernden Gegenstand oder dessen Verpackung als auch auf die aus magnetisiertem Streifenmaterial bestehende Sicherungsvorrichtung ansprechenden Alarm-Schaltkreis auszurüsten. In diesem Fall wird selbstverständlich jeder mit einer Sicherungsvorrichtung ausgerüstete Gegenstand bei unberechtigtem Passieren des Durchgangs den entsprechenden Schaltkreis anregen und den Alarm auslösen.Basically, it is also possible, but at a much higher cost, instead of two different ones Security devices to be attached to security devices to equip the passage to be passed with an alarm circuit responsive to the security device containing a resonant circuit on an item to be secured or its packaging as well as to the alarm circuit which is made of magnetized strip material. In this case, of course, any object equipped with a safety device will excite the corresponding circuit and trigger the alarm if the passage is unauthorized.

Eine besonders geeignete Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des an erster Stelle genannten Verfahrens besteht darin, dass eine einen Resonanzschwingkreis enthaltende Sicherungsvorrichtung in Form einer dünnen Etikette als auch eine ein magnetisiertes Streifenmaterial enthaltende Sicherungsvorrichtung gemeinsam auf einem Träger angebracht sind. Dies erlaubt, die beiden Sicherungsvorichtungen gleichzeitig auf den zu sichernden Gegenstand aufzubringen. Die beiden Sicherungsvorrichtungen können sich wenigstens teilweise überdeckend auf dem gemeinsamen Träger angeordnet sein. Der gemeinsame Träger kann von einer der beiden Sicherungsvorrichtungen gebildet sein, wobei dieser auf der einen Seite, nämlich der auf den zu sichernden Gegenstand aufzubringenden Seite, mit einem Kleber versehen sein kann.A particularly suitable device for carrying out the method mentioned in the first place consists in that a securing device containing a resonant resonant circuit in the form of a thin label and also a securing device containing a magnetized strip material are mounted together on one carrier. This allows the two securing devices to be applied simultaneously to the object to be secured. The two securing devices can be arranged at least partially overlapping on the common carrier. The common carrier can be formed by one of the two securing devices, and this can be provided with an adhesive on one side, namely the side to be attached to the object to be secured.

Dank dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren können auf einfachste Weise und ohne wesentlichen Aufwand zu sichernde Gegenstände mit Sicherungsvorrichtungen versehen werden, so dass diese unabhängig vom Ueberwachungssystem, welches beim Endabnehmer (Laden) im Einsatz ist, ohne weitere Vorkehrungen gebraucht werden kann.Thanks to the method according to the invention, objects to be secured can be provided with security devices in the simplest way and without any significant outlay, so that these are independent of the monitoring system which is used by the end user (Store) is in use, can be used without further precautions.

In der Regel werden die Sicherungsvorrichtungen an der Zahlstelle (Kasse) deaktiviert, wobei die Vorrichtung mit Resonanzschwingkreis auf einfachste Weise deaktiviert werden kann, indem in bekannter Weise die Schwingkreisetikette innerhalb einer gewissen Distanz durch ein Deaktiviergerät geführt werden muss, während im Falle der Sicherungsvorrichtung mit Magnetstreifen die Deaktivierung ebenfalls in bekannter Weise sehr präzise erfolgen muss, indem der Magnetstreifen in unmittelbarer Nähe eines der Deaktivierung dienenden Magnetfeldes vorbeigeführt werden muss.As a rule, the security devices at the payment point (cash register) are deactivated, whereby the device with a resonant circuit can be deactivated in the simplest way by, in a known manner, the resonance circuit label having to be guided through a deactivation device within a certain distance, while in the case of the security device with magnetic strips the deactivation must also be carried out very precisely in a known manner, in that the magnetic strip must be passed in the immediate vicinity of a magnetic field which serves to deactivate it.

Es sei nochmals erwähnt, dass der Kern der Erfindung darin liegt, dass auf einen zu sichernden Gegenstand jeweils zwei Sicherungsvorrichtungen angebracht werden, welche nach zwei verschiedenen Grundprinzipien arbeiten, nämlich mittels Resonanzschwingkreis oder mittels Magnetstreifen. Die Sicherungsvorrichtungen können auf einem gemeinsamen Träger, beispielsweise durch eine der Sicherungsvorrichtungen gebildet, auf den zu sichernden Gegenstand aufgebracht werden und dort gegebenenfalls noch von einer Produkteetikette verdeckt werden.It should be mentioned again that the essence of the invention lies in the fact that two security devices are attached to each object to be secured, which work according to two different basic principles, namely by means of a resonant circuit or a magnetic strip. The securing devices can be applied to the object to be secured on a common carrier, for example formed by one of the securing devices, and where appropriate can also be covered by a product label.

Selbstverständlich ist es möglich, die beiden Sicherungsvorrichtungen an getrennten Stellen am Gegenstand anzubringen, wobei jedoch in bevorzugter Weise die beiden verschieden arbeitenden Sicherungsvorrichtungen an ein und derselben Stelle übereinander angebracht werden.Of course, it is possible to attach the two securing devices at separate locations on the object, but the two differently operating securing devices are preferably attached one above the other at the same location.

Wie bereits erwähnt, könnte die Grundaufgabe theoretisch auch dadurch gelöst werden, dass anstelle von zwei auf verschiedenen Grundprinzipien arbeitenden Sicherungsvorrichtungen die stationäre Einrichtung im Ladengeschäft, nämlich der mit einem Alarm-Schaltkreis versehene bzw. ausgerüstete Durchgang mit zwei auf verschiedenartige Sicherungsvorrichtungen ansprechenden Schaltkreisen versehen wird, so dass in jedem Fall bei unberechtigtem Passieren des Durchganges ein Alarm ausgelöst wird. Diese Variante ist aufwendiger und gegebenenfalls auch störungsanfälliger. Es sei nebenbei noch bemerkt, dass sich auch direkt nebeneinander liegende Sicherungsvorrichtungen mit verschiedener Arbeitsweise, d. h. solche auf der Basis von Resonanzschwingkreisen und solche auf der Basis von Magnetstreifen, gegenseitig nicht beeinflussen, so dass dem Anbringen der beiden Sicherungsvorrichtungen übereinander an derselben Stelle des zu sichernden Gegenstandes nichts entgegensteht.As already mentioned, the basic task could theoretically also be solved in that instead of two security devices working on different basic principles, the stationary device in the shop, namely the passage provided or equipped with an alarm circuit, is provided with two circuits which respond to different security devices, so that an alarm is triggered in any case if the passage is passed without authorization. This variant is more complex and possibly more prone to failure. Incidentally, it should also be noted that there are also safety devices located directly next to one another with different modes of operation, i. H. those on the basis of resonance resonant circuits and those on the basis of magnetic strips do not influence one another, so that there is nothing to prevent the two securing devices from being arranged one above the other at the same location on the object to be secured.
