Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for producing security elements for electronic article security and a corresponding security element, wherein a security element consist of at least two layers.
- strip elements i.e. elongated, soft magnetic metal pieces (e.g. VITROVAC from Vacuumschmelze) to the goods.
- VITROVAC VITROVAC from Vacuumschmelze
- a monitoring system has a transmitting and a receiving device.
- the transmitting device sends an interrogation signal into a monitoring zone.
- the stripe element is excited to emit a response signal which is detected and identified by the receiving device.
- the occurrence of a response signal is equated with the illegal passage of an electronically secured article through the query zone and the alarm is triggered.
- An example of a corresponding monitoring system is described in EP 0 123 586 A1.
- resonance security elements are also used. These resonance protection elements consist of an oscillating circuit with capacitive and inductive elements. As soon as such a resonant circuit is exposed to a corresponding electromagnetic field within an interrogation zone, it sends out a response signal with its resonance frequency.
- the invention has for its object to propose an inexpensive, simple method, a corresponding device and a tape material produced by the method for electronic article surveillance.
- the object is achieved in that sections of a predetermined length of a second material web are fed and applied to a first continuous material web transversely to the running direction of the first material web.
- An application example for strip materials manufactured in this way is mentioned below.
- the aforementioned strip elements for electronic article surveillance have a length of a few centimeters (e.g. 3 cm).
- labels each containing a strip element, are provided in the form of a label roll and donated by means of appropriate output devices. If the strip elements, which are a few centimeters long, are wound - as usual - in the longitudinal direction to form a label roll, then a label roll contains only relatively few labels. The situation is completely different if the strip elements are wound up transversely to the direction of dispensing. The number of strip elements per label roll can then be increased considerably.
- the transverse arrangement of the strip elements has particular advantages if one takes into account how their production normally takes place: a relatively wide, soft magnetic endless strip is produced; this endless strip is subsequently split into a plurality of soft magnetic endless strips lying next to one another.
- a label applied to the first material web from the side already contains a plurality of strip elements running in parallel.
- the production costs for label rolls of strip elements can be significantly reduced once again.
- an endless strip of thin film material (such materials are described in detail in EP 0 295 028 described) sections of a thin film material applied.
- thin-film materials have a preferred direction, ie the response signal is at a maximum if the query field is aligned parallel to this preferred direction, while it is zero when the incident direction is perpendicular to the preferred direction. If two layers of thin film materials are now arranged perpendicular to one another, the corresponding security element is always excited to emit a response signal regardless of its orientation in the interrogation zone.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that, according to an advantageous development, the sections of the predetermined length of the second material web can be applied stepwise or continuously to the first material web.
- the advantage of the continuous process is of course the higher production speed.
- a guide device for a first material web is provided, that at least one dispensing device is provided which is arranged at right angles to the guide device and via which the sections of a predetermined length are fed to a second material web, and in that a conveying device is provided which successively removes the sections of the predetermined length of the second material web from the dispensing device and fastens them directly next to one another or to a gap on the first material web.
- the dispensing device is a conveyor belt, that at least one electromagnet is arranged in the interior formed by the rotating conveyor belt, that at least one further electromagnet is provided under the first material web in the area in which the sections of the second material web are applied to the first material web, and that a control / A control unit is provided which switches the electromagnets on and off in such a way that the sections of the second material web are applied to the first material web.
- a stop or a sensor for detecting the correct position of the section of the second material web with respect to the first material web is arranged in the end region of the conveyor device; the control unit switches the first electromagnet off and the second electromagnet as soon as the stop or the sensor reports that the section of the predetermined length of the second material web has reached the predetermined position with respect to the first material web.
- n dispensing devices are provided which are arranged at a distance (2n + 1) * (b + z), where b is the width of the sections of the second material web and z is the desired distance between two successive sections of the second material web describes.
- This embodiment allows the n dispensing devices to work in parallel with one another, ie without a time offset. This of course significantly reduces the tax expense.
- a storage roll is advantageously provided, on which the finished strip material is wound.
- the object is achieved in that the first material web is a continuous one Material web is on which sections of a predetermined length of a second material web made of magnetic material are fed and applied transversely to the running direction (x) of the first material web.
- the first material web is preferably a carrier material; the sections of a predetermined length (I) of the second material web are adhesive labels, each of which contains at least one security element for electronic article security.
- the securing elements are a plurality of strip elements which can be deactivated or not and which are arranged parallel to one another and transversely to the running direction (x) of the first material web.
- a further embodiment of the securing element according to the invention provides that the first material web is a thin film material, the preferred direction of which runs transversely or parallel to the running direction (x) of the first material web, and that the sections of predetermined length (I) are second material web is also thin-film labels, the preferred direction of which runs parallel or transverse to the running direction (x) of the first material web.
- the sections of a predetermined length of the second material web are resonance labels.
- Fig. 3 a flowchart for controlling the control unit.
- Fig. 1 shows a plan view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention. 2 shows the conveyor device 4 in longitudinal section and the guide device 3 in cross section.
- the material web 2 is a soft magnetic strip from which so-called strip elements for electronic article surveillance are produced.
- the material web 2 is unwound from the supply roll 7 and divided into strips of the desired width in the slitter unit 8.
- the strip material 2 divided into individual strips is expanded in the expansion unit 9, so that the individual strips are at a desired distance from one another, and cut into sections of the desired length (I) in the cross-cutting unit 10.
- the soft magnetic strips of the given length (I) lying next to one another are taken over by the conveyor belt 11 and guided over the transverse material web 1.
- the transport of the sections 6 of strip elements over the material web 1 takes place by means of an electromagnet 12, which is inside the via deflection rollers
- the control / regulating unit 16 switches off the electromagnet 12 and activates the electromagnet 13, which is arranged below the first material web 1. Under the effect of the magnetic attraction, the sections 6 are applied with strip elements to the adhesive side of the material web 1. As soon as the section 6 with strip elements applied to the material web 1 has moved under the dispensing device 4, the electromagnet 13 is switched off again.
- FIG. 3 shows a flow chart for controlling the control / regulating unit 16.
- the program is started at 22.
- the guide device 3 for the first material web 1 is activated.
- the conveyor 4 for feeding the sections 6 and the electromagnet 12 are activated.
- the latter remains activated until section 6 has reached the "tire" position, ie the correct position with respect to material web 1. This check takes place under program point 25.
- the electromagnet 12 is switched off at point 26 while the electromagnet 13 is switched on is applied to the adhesive side of the material web 1 under the action of the magnetic attraction.
- the application process is repeated cyclically as soon as the material web 1 has been moved at least by the distance I + z.
