Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for securing Anti-theft articles, with a housing, with a securing element arranged in the housing, that is a self-contained form has, and with a magnetic trained fastening mechanism, which has a releasable pin with which the device to be secured Articles, e.g. a piece of clothing, is attachable. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the production of the device according to the invention.
  • a device is already from the prior art - a so-called hard day - became known, which consists of two in there are essentially identical halves.
  • On the A strip element is made from the inside of one half glued on soft magnetic material. Then be the two halves put together, and the hard tag will be by means of a releasable pin on one to be secured Article, for example attached to a piece of clothing.
  • the fuse element is a detectable Response signal sends out, the soft magnetic strip or the soft magnetic wire a certain length exhibit. Because a hard day has its largest diameter in Has the central area, the stripe elements therefore run in the middle range.
  • This arrangement prepares from the following Reasonable problems: Usually the Fastening mechanism designed magnetically, for Loosen the fastening pin from the item relatively high Magnetic fields are required.
  • An example of one such fastening mechanism is e.g. from EP 0 132 531 B1 became known.
  • From US-A-4 751 500 is also a device for Securing items against theft in the form of a so-called "Hard Tags" known.
  • This consists of a housing in which a locking mechanism is arranged in which a pin a fastener can detachably snap. That too arranged in the housing fuse element consists of a spiral wound coil with a capacitor too an electrical resonant circuit is connected.
  • the invention has for its object a device with an electronic propose detectable fuse element that itself is characterized by a high detection rate and cannot be influenced by a magnetic fastening mechanism. Still lies the invention has for its object an inexpensive Device manufacturing process imagine.
  • the strip is due to the curved, in itself closed form so long that it is sufficiently strong Response signal to an external magnetic field. Furthermore, the securing element is so far from that Mounting mechanism removes that its magnetic Condition due to stray fields of the locking mechanism is adversely affected.
  • the Fixing mechanism for hard tags usually works up magnetic base. To detach the hard tags from the Secured items are relatively high magnetic fields required. These fields usually magnetize the magnetic locking mechanism, which in turn a nearby security element via a stray field negatively influenced. To prevent this from happening, the device according to the invention the distance of the securing element from that Fastening mechanism chosen as possible. Because of the great distance from that Attachment mechanism will change the magnetic state of the Security element not or hardly by stray fields of the Locking mechanism affected. Third is the detection rate especially with a circular configuration of the Securing element regardless of the orientation to outer field.
  • the device provides that the securing element is in one piece is formed or that it consists of at least two individual elements consists. It has it turned out that the arrangement of the individual elements there is essentially nothing in the gap Functionality of the device according to the invention changes.
  • the housing consists of at least two parts.
  • the following advantageous embodiment is in the housing suggested: there is one on the inside of the housing circular or elliptical guidance provided on which the securing element lies on.
  • the guide can be a groove or a Survey acts, the survey as a continuous or interrupted bead can be formed.
  • the securing element is at least on one of the two parts of the housing fixed at certain points.
  • the object is achieved with regard to the method for producing the device according to the invention solved that one of the two parts of the housing is mounted on a rotary unit, that a securing element a dispensing device that the rotating part of the Housing is assigned in Form of soft magnetic strip or wire material is provided and that the strip or wire material during rotation of the rotating unit in a self-contained form in the housing is introduced that it is placed in a ring on the inside of the rotating part of the housing.
  • the method proposes that by means of a cutting device, which is assigned to the dispensing device, the tape material is provided in a desired length. It is also provided that the Securing element by means of an adhesive device at least at certain points on the rotating part of the Housing is attached.
  • the dispensing device is placed in such a way that the securing element in an annular on the inside of the rotating part of the housing or other self-contained structure.
  • Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a first embodiment of the device according to the invention in the unassembled state.
  • the device 1 consists of two essentially identical halves 2a, 2b which are firmly connected to one another in the assembled state.
  • the device 1 is fastened to an article to be secured via the fastening mechanism 4.
  • the securing element 3 is arranged according to the invention in a self-contained form. In the case shown, the shape is a circle.
  • the securing element 3 consists of one part. Rather, it can consist of a plurality of sub-elements 3a arranged on a gap from one another.
  • This configuration considerably simplifies the assembly of the securing element 3 in the device according to the invention. As can be seen in FIG. 2, it is sufficient to fix the securing element 3 if the guide consists of individual projecting elements.
  • the securing element 3 is a strip or Wire material 8 wound on a supply roll 13 and is successively provided by the dispensing device 9.
  • the beginning of the strip or wire material 8 is in a clamping part 14 fixed on the housing part 2a and during the subsequent rotating process of the rotary unit 10 circular or in the desired shape on the Housing part 2a placed. Is it the stripe or Wire material 8 around a strip material, so this lies with the edge on the housing part 2a and with the flat side at the guide 5.
  • a fixation of the securing element 3 on the guide 5 or the housing part 2a is carried out by means of an adhesive donated by the gluing device 12.
  • the Strip or wire material 8 is made by means of one of the dispensing devices 9 assigned cutting device 11 provided in the desired length.
